But be warned, your captain will also have any negative points doubled if they drop a stinker. You can only select one player as captain per Gameweek and so it goes without saying that you should choose wisely with the potential for significant point swings greater than ever. Imagine the following scenario: Arsenal and Manchester United both have favourable home fixtures, Bukayo Saka (£6m) and Bruno Fernandes (£6.5m) are fully fit and in excellent form. Either midfielder would make a worthy captain and it seems likely that most of your Mini League rivals will choose one or the other. You opt for the Gunners' No7 and he cashes in with a 15-point haul (doubled to 30) while the Portugal international musters just one point (doubled to two for those who captained him) as the Red Devils suffer a shock defeat. Suddenly you've gained 28 points on your rivals who selected Fernandes as captain. 3 Arsenal fans don't need a second invitation to back their Star Boy to the hilt Credit: GETTY That's the stuff dreams are made of and in such a scenario you would have every right to run riot in the group WhatsApp but the shoe could just as easily be on the other foot the following Gameweek.
