PROBABLY NOT

  • Fixture: Fulham (A) in GW1 - a workable fixture

Why João Pedro may not be the best captain in Gameweek 1

The case for

  • Fixture: Fulham (A) in GW1 is workable - not elite, but not a reason to avoid him.
  • Returns: 15 goals and 9 assists this season - consistent output that justifies the price.

The case against

  • Form: 0.0 pts/game over the last 6 gameweeks - poor recent returns make him a risky armband choice.
  • Expected points: only 2.3 xPts projected for GW1 - stronger options are available.
  • Ownership: 55.9% means blanking carries a serious rank cost, but that is not the same as being the best captain pick.
