"If you're the kind of FPL manager who likes to take the odd risk, then this week represents a chance. Erling Haaland's Manchester City host Liverpool, a team he has scored just once against in the league and never beaten. The Norwegian has been a permanent captain choice, with another two goals last week proving why, but this is surely a game to back against him. And Chelsea at home against bottom club, and managerless, Wolves seems like the best place to look for an alternative captain."
"Gabriel, 6.6m, and Jurrien Timber, 6.1m, both Arsenal - Sunderland (a) We don't need to say much here really. The Gunners kept their eighth straight clean sheet in the Champions League on Tuesday. A ninth would be an outright club record. If you can only afford one from their defence, go for Gabriel, who seems on for an assist or a goal from a corner in every match."
Risk-taking FPL managers are advised to consider alternatives to Erling Haaland for captaincy as Manchester City face Liverpool, a side Haaland has scored just once against and never beaten. Chelsea hosting bottom, managerless Wolves is highlighted as a promising captain option. The recommended team fits a 100m Free Hit budget and produced 76 points previously, with every striker scoring: Jean-Philippe Mateta (9), Danny Welbeck (6) and captain Haaland (26). Alphonse Areola (West Ham, 4.3m) is suggested as a budget goalkeeper for Burnley (h). Arsenal defenders Gabriel (6.6m) and Jurrien Timber (6.1m) are flagged after consecutive clean sheets, with Gabriel offering set-piece threat. Reece James (Chelsea, 5.5m) is noted as an emerging defensive option often used as a midfielder by Enzo Maresca.
