Why Haaland, and when not to
Erling Haaland is the top captain for GW15. Man City are at home to Chelsea, and Haaland projects 6.4 expected points, 0.6 clear of Gabriel (5.8). He's in 79.2% 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 at home to Bournemouth. 5.8 xP, owned by 25.4%. De Cuyper is next at 5.5 (EVE (H)).
For a differential, Vuskovic is owned by 7.8% and projects 4.8, at home to Everton. 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.
