What the model recommends

Captain B.Fernandes — a rating of 79/100 makes him the safest armband in gameweek 5, with Haaland (74/100) the differential alternative.

The strongest transfer in is Haaland at £15.6, projected 36 points over the following five gameweeks at 71% confidence.

Only take a -4 hit if the incoming player beats your outgoing option by more than four points across your planning horizon.
