Mikel Arteta's Army
Wildcard gets a quieter start
Mikel Arteta’s Army scores 46 and drops from ninth to eleventh, three points behind tenth. Haaland’s 18 captain points and Maatsen’s seven were the best counted returns.
Captain: Haaland · 9 × 2 = 18 points
Management: Wildcard active; no transfer hit.
This week in the league: 7 of 12 on net points
Three things worth knowing
The next position
ABCDEFC is the next team above, 3 points ahead. You lost ground to that rival by 7 net points this week.
Beyond the armband
Maatsen supplied 7 counted points outside captaincy. Only 1 of 12 league squads owned him.
The bigger picture
Overall rank fell by 154,547 places to 7,929,667.
The useful takeaway
The Wildcard avoided transfer hits, but this week finished five below the FPL average. The new squad needs a longer assessment; captaincy was not the main shortfall.
