xP = expected FPL points this gameweek, before the captain's double.

Why Haaland, and when not to

Erling Haaland is the top captain for GW13. Man City are at home to Leeds, and Haaland projects 6.5 expected points, 1.0 clear of Gabriel (5.5). He's in 79% of teams, so not captaining him is the risk, not the other way round.

If you don't own Haaland, Gabriel is the next best: Arsenal are away at Brentford. 5.5 xP, owned by 24.5%. Isak is next at 5.1 (SUN (H)).

For a differential, Murillo is owned by 2.1% and projects 5.1, away at Hull City. 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.
