Why De Cuyper, and when not to
Maxim De Cuyper is the top captain for GW12. Brighton are at home to Newcastle, and De Cuyper projects 5.8 expected points, 0.3 clear of Calvert-Lewin (5.5). He's in 45.1% of teams, so not captaining him is the risk, not the other way round.
If you don't own De Cuyper, Calvert-Lewin is the next best: Leeds are at home to Coventry City. 5.5 xP, owned by 20.8%. Bogle is next at 5.5 (COV (H)).
For a differential, Barry is owned by 7.6% and projects 5.2, at home to Liverpool. A differential captain only pays if he outscores the template pick, so use it when you're chasing rank, not protecting it.
None of the top 15 have a flag right now. Check press conferences before the deadline.
How it works: every player gets expected points (xP) for the gameweek from the Kickabout model. Captains score double, so the best captain is the highest xP you own. Numbers refresh every 10 minutes and after team news.
