Best: Haaland
What we think
Your attack is the engine of this team (rating 75/100), while your goalkeeper lags at 55/100.
Fixtures are neutral at an average FDR of 3.18, so player quality decides your next few weeks, not the schedule.
At 45.4% average ownership this is a template build. Safe, but you need a differential or two to actually climb.
Haaland is a defensible armband: 8.3 pts/game, form 9.5, 0.94 xGI per 90, away at AVL (FDR 3).
£27.8m on the bench is expensive insurance. Downgrade one and reinvest.
Strengths
Your attack is doing the heavy lifting
Average FPL Verdict rating of 75/100 across your starting attack — the strongest unit in your XI.
You own a genuine captain
Haaland scores 88/100 on our captain model, so you are not guessing with the armband.
Weaknesses
Template-heavy squad, limited edge
Your starting XI averages 45.4% ownership. You will move with the crowd rather than climb past it.
Your bench is doing expensive nothing
£27.8m is sat outside your XI. That money should be working on the pitch.
