If your captain fails in FIFA Club World Cup Fantasy, have no fear – you get a second (and third, and fourth etc…) bite at the cherry.

As is the case in UEFA Champions League (UCL) Fantasy, you can ‘twist’ when it comes to the captaincy and shift the armband to someone else.

After a bit of initial uncertainty, it looks like you can switch your captains multiple times.

With that in mind, it’s worth having a think about captaincy opportunities during a Matchday. Here’s our look at the best armband opportunities in Matchday 1:

	Sun 15 June	Mon 16 June	Tue 17 June	Wed 18 June	Thu 19 June
Most favourable fixtures	BAYERN v Auckland (17:00)	BOTAFOGO v Seattle (03:00) CHELSEA v Los Angeles (20:00)	FLAMENGO v ES Tunis (02:00) RIVER PLATE v Urawa (20:00)	INTER v Monterrey (02:00) MAN CITY v Wydad (17:00) REAL MADRID v Al Hilal (20:00)	JUVENTUS v Al Ain (02:00)
Early captaincy suggestions	Thomas Muller ($7.0m, FWD)	Igor Jesus ($4.1m, FWD) Cole Palmer ($9.6m, MID)	Giorgian de Arrascaeta ($6.2m, MID) Franco Mastantuono ($4.3m, MID)	Marcus Thuram ($8.5m, FWD) Erling Haaland ($11.0m, FWD) Kylian Mbappe ($11.0m, FWD)	Randal Kolo Muani ($8.0m, FWD)
