Demon Captain Read
Haaland is the clean captain. The projection is not close enough to justify getting cute unless your mini-league position demands it.
Bruno and Saka are elite backups, but that is the point: backups. Bruno has 90 projected minutes and 6.56 xPts. Saka is at 78.5 xMins and still reaches 6.52 xPts, which tells you the quality is real.
