Best captain picks for GW10

Haaland is the top captain pick for GW10, projected 6.2 points away at Nott'm Forest. Gabriel (6.0) and Ødegaard (5.6) are next. The gap from first to second is only 0.2 points, so either is a sound choice.

Points: projected FPL points this week, before the captain doubles them. Plays 60+: chance he plays an hour or more.

Where these numbers come from

Bookmakers price every match. FPL Apex takes those odds, removes the bookmaker's margin, and turns them into goals, assists, clean sheets and minutes for every player, then into FPL points. Every projection is saved before the deadline and scored afterwards on the Model scorecard. Read how it works.
