Captain & strategy

This squad balances heavy hitters with high-upside differentials. Including Haaland and Isak ensures a strong goal threat, while the midfield options like Mbeumo and Ødegaard offer consistent creative output. Defensive coverage from Arsenal provides stability against weaker attacks. The inclusion of De Cuyper and Tavernier adds budget-friendly potential to maximize your remaining funds. With an expected point total of 61.1, this lineup is well-positioned to gain ground during the gameweek.
