<p>Haaland scored in the reverse fixture.</p>
<p><strong>Kaoru Mitoma (£5.6m) </strong>scored in the reverse fixture against Arsenal and only came on for a cameo against Newcastle.</p>
<p><strong>Kieran Trippier (£6.1m)</strong> has never returned against these opponents but it illustrates the points potential of a clean sheet.</p>
<p><strong>Fabian Schar (£5.1m)</strong> scored in his last home game against Brighton.</p>
<p><strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.1m)</strong> blanked in his last two starts against Leicester.</p>
<p><strong>Callum Wilson (£7.1m)</strong> has returned every time he's started for Newcastle against Leeds - but hasn't returned against Brighton.</p>
<p><strong>Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m)</strong> doesn't have the best record against either opponent.</p>
<p><strong>Alexander Isak (£7.0m)</strong> hasn’t faced either of his Gameweek 36 opponents yet.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL captain for Double Gameweek 36: Members' stats breakdown</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">These stats are taken from the Fantasy Football Hub <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta">Opta stats tool</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">With so many doubles , it means the stats will be thrown off when we use 'totals'. Therefore, I've switched to ‘per appearance’ instead, and extended the range to the last six gameweeks.</p>
<p>I've highlighted the top stats for the key metrics.</p>
