Isak offers a higher points ceiling against a vulnerable defense, making him the stronger captaincy choice for the gameweek despite his steeper price tag. While Tavernier is a reliable budget asset with solid underlying stats, he lacks the explosive potential required for a captaincy gamble. Stick with Isak if you need a high-scoring differential to climb your rankings this round. The Newcastle striker is simply more likely to deliver the decisive attacking return.
