If said captain scores the winner in extra time, then it is worth 5 points.
OK, but then a player of yours scoring the winning goal of the World Cup
should be worth 50 points.
Couldn't agree more:

And before you start complaining, any fantasy football player knows
that the winning goal in a 4-2 win is the team's third goal.
Of course, just like any fantasy football player knows that the WC-winning-goal 50-point bonus is a one-time thing. It goes to the first player to manage that feat.
