4. Dominic Solanke – Tottenham Hotspur | 41 points | £7.6m
Dominic Solanke, once a promising youngster at Chelsea and Liverpool, is now blossoming into a Premier League force. After a career resurgence at Bournemouth, he made a high profile move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, tasked with filling the enormous void left by Harry Kane’s departure. Solanke’s early performances at Spurs including last weekend’s brace against Aston Villa. With four goals and two assists in his first few games, he has already shown that he possesses the qualities to lead Tottenham’s line for years to come. As Tottenham prepares to face Ipswich Town, Solanke will be eager to continue his hot streak. Given the fact that Ipswich are quite suspect defensively, he can be a very good captaincy option.
3. Mo Salah – Liverpool | 93 points | £12.8m
Mo Salah‘s reign over Fantasy Premier League continues unabated. The Liverpool forward has established a commanding 10 point lead over anyone in the points scoring charts, a testament to his consistent brilliance. With 7 goals and 5 assists already this season, Salah has been the driving force behind Liverpool’s impressive start to the Premier League campaign. As the Reds prepare to face Aston Villa this weekend, all eyes will be on Salah to deliver another match winning performance. His ability to consistently contribute to goals and create chances makes him an indispensable asset to both Liverpool and Fantasy Premier League managers alike. He has continued to provide the points year after year and it does not look like he is at all slowing down any time soon. It is difficult to look beyond him for captaincy options.
2. Bruno Fernandes – Manchester United | 33 points | £8.2m
Bruno Fernandes has been the talisman for Manchester United since the day he came to the club. However, this season has been a different story, with both the player and the club struggling to find their rhythm. With the appointment of new manager Ruben Amorim, coming from Bruno’s old club Sporting CP , a new era is dawning at Old Trafford. Fernandes, eager to impress the new boss, has recently shown signs of rediscovering his form. This was evident in the Carabao Cup clash against Leicester City last week, where he netted a brace. The trend continued in the weekend as he found the back of the net against Chelsea. As Fernandes continues to regain his mojo, Fantasy Premier League managers will be tempted to captain him as he plays Leicester again.
1. Erling Haaland – Manchester City | 77 points | £15.3m
At a hefty price tag of £15.3m, Erling Haaland is the most expensive player in Fantasy Premier League. With his recent form fluctuating, some managers are questioning whether selling him and reinvesting the funds would be a wiser strategy. However, Haaland operates on a different level. Despite his recent goal drought, he remains the Premier League’s top scorer with 11 goals. His expected goals (xG) are still impressive, suggesting that goals are imminent. Facing Brighton this weekend, a team known for its defensive vulnerabilities, presents an excellent opportunity for Haaland to rediscover his scoring touch. Haaland is still the safest captaincy choice in the game, especially considering the other two usual favourites Mo Salah and Cole Palmer have difficult games.
