GW38 Captain Pick: Gibbs-White vs Watkins — Who Wears the Armband on Final Day?
With the season ending in GW38, captain choice can define your final rank. Gibbs-White is the runaway form player at 8.8 and owned by just 7.2%, offering a huge differential edge against a Bournemouth side visiting the City Ground (fixture difficulty 3). Watkins is close behind at form 8.6 but faces Man City away at the Etihad, a noticeably tougher ask with a difficulty rating of 5.
The standout form player of the season, Gibbs-White gets a home fixture against Bournemouth that is as good as it gets for GW38. At 7.2% ownership, captaining him is a genuine differential that could swing your rank massively.
