The verdict

Gabriel and Bruno Fernandes have identical expected points for this gameweek. However, Bruno Fernandes's set-piece involvement and penalty duties offer a higher ceiling for points. While Gabriel is a strong defender, Fernandes's attacking threat makes him the more appealing captaincy choice for this gameweek, despite the higher cost.
