MAYBE

It depends - Horníček is a reasonable option but not the obvious armband choice this week.

  • Form: 4.0 pts/game over the last 2 gameweeks - moderate returns
  • Fixture: Bournemouth (H) in GW3 - a workable fixture
  • Ownership: 1.1% - a genuine differential pick

Why Horníček may not be the best captain in Gameweek 3

The case for

  • Fixture: Bournemouth (H) in GW3 is workable - not elite, but not a reason to avoid him.
  • Ownership: 1.1% makes him a genuine differential. A big return moves you up the overall rankings.

The case against

  • Form: only 4.0 pts/game over the last 2 gameweeks - returns have been below the level expected for a captain pick.
  • Expected points: only 4 xPts projected for GW3 - stronger options are available.
  • Position: Horníček is a goalkeeper - captaincy ceiling is limited to clean-sheet, save and bonus points, well below what premium outfielders can deliver on a big day.
