Captain Call

Gameweek 5 captain: Haaland

The call on the house squad, filed before the deadline. Not your team, which is the only reason you're allowed to read it.

The case against
Wissa: Haaland projects 1.4 points higher this week.

The room argued

Jimmy MacLeod

Newcastle at home, FDR 2, priced heavy favourites at 57/100, Wissa walks straight into a kind fixture and Wissa's 18.6% ownership gives you an edge the template cannae.

Luca Ferretti

The shape stays 3-4-3, which is correct, and Wissa entering as the third forward gives you the attacking balance Luca demands from this structure.

Klaus Brandt

João Pedro produces an expected-points figure of 1.31 this week, which is the clearest inefficiency on the balance sheet. We do not hold inefficiencies when the upgrade costs nothing structurally.

Dr. Rachel Okafor

The shadow signal on Haaland carries a negative manager-quote flag, I cannot quantify what that means for his minutes, and I have filed it accordingly.

Transfer and captain both carried the room; Okafor registered her dissent on the Haaland shadow signal, and was noted and overruled.
