FPL Gameweek 24: The Best Captain Choices

Erling Haaland (tot) - Highest Projected Scorer

Haaland has found the back of the net eight times in away matches this season — more than any other player. The Norwegian international also leads all players for shots (37), shots on target (17), ‘big chances’ (14) and 'Expected Goals' (xG) (7.40) in away fixtures.

Man City have scored 18 goals on their travels this season (sixth overall). They rank eighth for shots (132) and 10th for xG (16.67) in away matches.

Their hosts, Spurs, have conceded 14 goals at home this season (13th) and have kept just two clean sheets. The north London side rank sixth for both shots conceded (117) and 'Expected Goals Conceded' (xGC) (13.26) in home games.

According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Haaland is projected to score 5.0 points this Gameweek.

Bruno Fernandes (FUL) - High Ownership Alternative

B. Fernandes has racked up 58 FPL points in nine home games this season with three goals and two assists. No midfielder has attempted more assists than his 35 in home matches and he is second for 'Expected Assists' (xA) (4.29) only to Doku (4.97).

Meanwhile, only Wilson (33) has attempted more shots than his 30 in home games and only Schade (5.02) has racked up a higher xG tally than his 5.01.

As the below image from our Player Heatmaps feature shows, he has averaged 6.4 FPL points per game in home matches this season.

Enzo Fernández (WHU) - The Differential

With Palmer's injury issues plaguing him throughout the season, Enzo has emerged as Chelsea's creative spark. As shown in the image below from our Opta Stats Sandbox, no Chelsea player has attempted more assists than his 18 in home matches this season and he is also top for shots (24), shots target (12) and xG (3.65).

Chelsea have scored 17 goals at Stamford Bridge (12th), the Blues are ranked 9th for shots (158) and seventh for xG (20.60) in home games.
