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

Why Mbeumo, and when not to

Bryan Mbeumo is the top captain for GW14. Man Utd are at home to Coventry City, and Mbeumo projects 6.2 expected points, 0.4 clear of Gabriel (5.8). He's in 20.4% of teams.

If you don't own Mbeumo, Gabriel is the next best: Arsenal are away at Spurs. 5.8 xP, owned by 24.5%. Silva is next at 5.8 (HUL (H)).

For a differential, Silva is owned by 2.6% and projects 5.8, at home to 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.
