Allsvenskan Fantasy Gameweek 22: captains and buys
Allsvenskan Fantasy Gameweek 22: best buys, captain picks and differentials
Allsvenskan Fantasy Gameweek 22 is a clean, full round: eight matches, all 16 clubs involved, spread across Saturday 19 September and Sunday 20 September. The deadline is 19 September at 13:55, with the first kick-offs at 15:00. Nothing about this round is complicated at the top — the template names are obvious and most managers already own them. The gameweek is decided further down the squad.
Two things matter most. First, four widely-held players are no longer selectable in the game and are projected on zero, and a surprising number of squads are still carrying them. Second, Hammarby have the best fixture of the round by a distance, and the cheap ways into that match are barely owned. Get those two right and Gameweek 22 takes care of itself.
Gameweek 22 fixtures: where the points are
Two matches stand clear of the rest in the model. Degerfors host Hammarby, and Hammarby are rated at a 75% win probability with 2.50 expected goals — the highest attacking projection of the round — while Degerfors are given just an 8% clean sheet chance. Örgryte host Sirius, and Sirius carry a 65% win probability and 2.33 expected goals against a home side with a 10% clean sheet chance.
| Team | Gameweek 22 fixture | Win probability | Expected goals | Clean sheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hammarby | [A]Degerfors | 75% | 2.50 | 46% |
| Sirius | [A]Örgryte | 65% | 2.33 | 35% |
| Djurgården | [H]Elfsborg | 55% | 1.94 | 32% |
| AIK | [A]Halmstads BK | 54% | 1.87 | 33% |
| Malmö FF | [A]Västerås SK | 44% | 1.63 | 27% |
| Degerfors | [H]Hammarby | 9% | 0.77 | 8% |
The programme beyond this round matters too, because one free transfer per gameweek means a buy has to earn its place over more than 90 minutes. Hammarby run [A]Degerfors → [H]Djurgården → [A]Halmstads BK (75% → 51% → 66%), which is the best three-week block in the league. Sirius run [A]Örgryte → [A]GAIS → [H]Elfsborg (65% → 41% → 59%). Häcken are the fixture swing to plan for: a mid fixture now at Kalmar FF, then [H]Örgryte in Gameweek 23 at a 71% win probability. Elfsborg go the other way — [A]Djurgården then [H]Halmstads BK then [A]Sirius, with a 14% clean sheet chance this week.
You can check every one of these matchups yourself on the Allsvenskan Fantasy schedule and the market probabilities page, which is where the win and clean sheet numbers above come from.
Best goalkeepers for Gameweek 22
Felix Jakobsson (5.4m, Hammarby) is the single best goalkeeper pick of the round and the biggest mispricing in the whole game. He is projected at 5.0 points — seventh-highest of any player in Allsvenskan Fantasy regardless of position — on a 46% clean sheet chance at Degerfors, and he is owned by 0.6% of managers. Ownership sits with the other Hammarby goalkeeper, and this one is the projected starter.
If you would rather not chase, David Celic (5.2m, Sirius) at 4.5 points and a 35% clean sheet chance is the safe alternative, and Elis Bishesari (5.1m, IFK Göteborg) gives you 4.4 points at Brommapojkarna.
The budget option is Samuel Brolin (4.4m, Kalmar FF): 4.0 points at 0.91 points per million, the best value-for-money goalkeeper in the round. Kalmar FF only carry a 21% clean sheet chance at home to Häcken, so this is a save-volume pick rather than a shutout pick — but at that price it funds a premium elsewhere.
Best defenders for Gameweek 22
The defence section is a two-club story, and the club cap of three players from one team is the constraint to plan around.
Hammarby's back line is the highest-projected defensive unit of the round on a 46% clean sheet chance:
- Hampus Skoglund (6.8m, Hammarby) — 4.7 points, 87 projected minutes, 0.45 expected clean sheet, 16.8% owned.
- Frederik Winther (6.6m, Hammarby) — 4.7 points, 0.44 expected clean sheet, 23.8% owned, the most-owned of the group.
- Victor Eriksson (6.4m, Hammarby) — 4.6 points, 0.42 expected clean sheet, 18.3% owned.
- Noah Persson (7.4m, Hammarby) — 4.6 points at 2.9% ownership, the differential of the four, though 76 projected minutes make him the most rotation-exposed.
Sirius offer the better value. Tobias Anker (5.2m, Sirius) is the standout: 4.7 points at 0.90 points per million, the best points-per-million return among the top-ten defenders, with 86 projected minutes and a 33% clean sheet chance at Örgryte. Henrik Castegren (4.9m, Sirius) delivers 4.3 points at 0.88 points per million and is already 27.2% owned, and Oscar Krusnell (6.9m, Sirius) at 4.6 points carries the most creative threat of the three at 0.12 expected assists.
The budget defender to note is Jack Tagesson (3.9m, Västerås SK) — 3.4 points at 0.87 points per million and 0.8% ownership, with 82 projected minutes at home to Malmö FF. He is not going to win you the round, but he is the cheapest route to a starting defender in a home match, and he frees up real money in attack.
Best midfielders for Gameweek 22
Isak Bjerkebo (9.5m, Sirius) is the highest-projected player in Allsvenskan Fantasy for Gameweek 22 at 6.3 points, built on 0.64 expected goals and 0.17 expected assists in 84 minutes. He is also Sirius's penalty taker, which is what separates him from the field on ceiling. At 64.3% ownership he is the closest thing this game has to a must-own.
Bo Åsulv Hegland (8.3m, Djurgården) is next at 5.8 points with the most balanced profile of the premium midfielders — 0.35 expected goals plus 0.24 expected assists, the highest creative projection among the top six — at home to an Elfsborg side given a 14% clean sheet chance. 53.2% owned.
Victor Lind (10.9m, Hammarby) at 5.4 points is the most expensive way into the best fixture, and his 0.43 expected clean sheet adds a floor most attacking midfielders do not have.
The differential is Montader Madjed (8.9m, Hammarby): 5.2 points, 81 projected minutes, 0.34 expected goals and a 0.45 expected clean sheet — almost identical output to Lind for 2.0m less, and owned by 7.3% against Lind's 32.3%. If you want the Degerfors match without paying the premium price, this is the pick.
In the value bracket, Marcus Lindberg (5.7m, Sirius) is excellent: 4.6 points at 0.81 points per million with 85 projected minutes, and 6.2% ownership. Charles Sagoe Jr. (6.9m, Kalmar FF) gives 4.8 points at 0.70 points per million and is the best mid-priced midfielder outside the two headline clubs.
The budget midfielder is Melker Heier (4.8m, Sirius) — 3.9 points, 85 projected minutes, 0.81 points per million, 1.9% ownership. A near-nailed starter in the round's second-best fixture at a fifth-choice price.
Best forwards for Gameweek 22
Paulos Abraham (10.7m, Hammarby) is the premium forward and the second-highest projection in the game at 5.9 points, with 0.60 expected goals in 78 minutes against a defence given an 8% clean sheet chance. 41.9% owned.
Kristian Lien (10.1m, Djurgården) is close behind at 5.4 points and 0.56 expected goals, and he takes Djurgården's penalties — a meaningful ceiling boost at home against Elfsborg.
The value forward is Linus Carlstrand (7.4m, AIK): 4.7 points at 0.64 points per million, 0.47 expected goals, with AIK carrying a 54% win probability at Halmstads BK. He is 3.0m cheaper than the two premiums and projects within 1.2 points of them.
For a genuine hidden gem, Bonaventure Lendambi (5.4m, Västerås SK) projects 3.9 points at 0.72 points per million and is owned by 0.3% of managers. The caveat is real and worth stating: 64 projected minutes means he is not certain to see the full match, so treat him as a cheap enabler rather than a starter you lean on.

Gameweek 22 captain picks
The captain scores double in Allsvenskan Fantasy, so this is the single biggest decision of the round.
- Isak Bjerkebo (9.5m, Sirius) — 6.3 points, the highest projection in the game. Sirius have a 65% win probability at Örgryte, who are given a 10% clean sheet chance, and Bjerkebo is on penalties. Highest floor and highest ceiling in one pick.
- Paulos Abraham (10.7m, Hammarby) — 5.9 points, and the argument for him is the fixture: Hammarby's 2.50 expected goals is the biggest attacking projection of Gameweek 22. If you want the most explosive match rather than the most reliable player, this is the armband.
- Bo Åsulv Hegland (8.3m, Djurgården) — 5.8 points at home to Elfsborg, and the most complete goals-plus-assists profile of the three.
Behind those, Victor Lind (10.9m, Hammarby) and Kristian Lien (10.1m, Djurgården) both project 5.4 points and are defensible alternatives — Lien in particular, because penalties can turn a 5.4 projection into a double-digit return quickly. Nothing outside that top five is a serious captaincy candidate this week.
Captaincy is worth planning two rounds ahead rather than one. Hammarby keep a strong fixture in Gameweek 23 at home to Djurgården and an excellent one in Gameweek 24 at Halmstads BK, while Sirius dip slightly at GAIS before improving again at home to Elfsborg. Owning one premium from each of those two clubs gives you a credible armband in every one of the next three gameweeks. Our optimal teams solver for Allsvenskan Fantasy runs that trade-off live against the current projections.
Who to sell before Gameweek 22
Start here, before you think about buys. Four players held by a meaningful share of squads are no longer selectable in Allsvenskan Fantasy and are projected on zero points for Gameweek 22:
- Robbie Ure (8.9m, Sirius) — 28.3% ownership, 0 projected points.
- Rasmus Forsell (4.0m, Degerfors) — 20.1% ownership, 0 projected points.
- Elliot Stroud (10.7m, Mjällby) — 15.4% ownership, 0 projected points.
- Zadok Yohanna (6.4m, AIK) — 15.4% ownership, 0 projected points.
If one of those is in your squad, that is your transfer. Nothing else in this preview is more valuable than replacing a zero.
The other two sells are live players with a problem. Warner Hahn (6.0m, Hammarby) is owned by 26.4% of managers and projects 1 minute and 0.0 points — the goalkeeper shirt at Hammarby is projected to go to Felix Jakobsson, who costs 0.6m less and projects 5.0. That is the cleanest upgrade available in the entire game this week. And Nahir Besara (13.2m, Hammarby), the most expensive player in Allsvenskan Fantasy and 29.8% owned, is projected for just 34 minutes and 2.9 points on a 0.29 starter factor. Even in the best fixture of the round he is a bench-minutes risk at a premium price; Madjed at 8.9m projects 2.3 points more for 4.3m less.
One more to think about rather than act on: Niklas Hult (6.1m, Elfsborg) is 32.8% owned and projects 2.7 points away at Djurgården with a 14% clean sheet chance. Elfsborg do improve in Gameweek 23 at home to Halmstads BK, where their clean sheet chance rises to 45%, so if you only have one transfer there are better places to spend it — but he is the weakest starting defender in the template this week.
Differentials for Gameweek 22
Everyone owns Bjerkebo, Hegland and Abraham. The gameweek is won in the squad slots after them, and the ownership gaps this round are unusually wide:
| Player | Team | Price | Ownership | Projected points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Felix Jakobsson (GK) | Hammarby | 5.4m | 0.6% | 5.0 |
| Montader Madjed (MID) | Hammarby | 8.9m | 7.3% | 5.2 |
| Marcus Lindberg (MID) | Sirius | 5.7m | 6.2% | 4.6 |
| Noah Persson (DEF) | Hammarby | 7.4m | 2.9% | 4.6 |
| Melker Heier (MID) | Sirius | 4.8m | 1.9% | 3.9 |
| Adrian Svanbäck (FWD) | Häcken | 7.9m | 6.6% | 4.1 |
Svanbäck is a forward-planning pick rather than a Gameweek 22 pick: his projection jumps to 5.7 points in Gameweek 23, when Häcken host Örgryte at a 71% win probability. The rest are worth owning this week on their own merits.
A note on doubling up: the cap is three players from one club, and Hammarby are worth all three. Pairing Jakobsson with one Hammarby defender doubles down on the same 46% clean sheet, which is exactly the kind of correlated stack a 75% win probability justifies. Full projections for every player are on the Allsvenskan Fantasy player picks page.
Gameweek 22 summary
Clear the zeros first, then buy the Degerfors match. Captain Bjerkebo unless you are specifically chasing variance, in which case Abraham is the higher-ceiling alternative. The cheap enablers that make the rest fit are Brolin, Tagesson and Heier, and all three project as starters.
