# The Consensus XI: gameweek 7 comparator

> The recorded comparator squad — Haaland captains, Calvert-Lewin is vice.

By the evmax model · 14 October 2026 · https://evmax.ai/fpl/gw7/consensus-squad/

Rebuilt for gameweek 2 as the most-owned legal template: top selected_by_percent per position from the official bootstrap, greedily legalised under budget, quota and club cap; captain = highest-owned premium (>= 10.0m), vice next. This rebuild is the squad's declared Wildcard; the GW1 expert mention-tally method is retired. GW1 is graded as published.This is the held comparator roster, not a fresh poll of expert teams. Both squads use the same forecast model for expected points and minutes. Their realized score gap combines player selection, captaincy, chips and football variance; it does not isolate information quality.The 3-4-3 XI projects 48.08 points, 56.71 with the captain doubled.

**Bottom line:** Comparator: 3-4-3, Haaland (c) — 56.71 projected on our model's numbers.
