His teammate Martin Ødegaard also features in the top three for the top 10k, indicating Arsenal's favorable fixture. Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, who faces Everton, is another popular choice, especially given his consistent form.
Cole Palmer, despite being a differential pick, has seen a significant captaincy percentage among the top 100k and 1M managers, likely due to Chelsea's matchup against Fulham. Manchester City's Phil Foden and Julián Álvarez are also in the mix, as they face Newcastle without the injured Haaland, who remains the most captained player across all managers despite his injury.
