Best FPL captain this week Gameweek 17 (GW17)
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £15.0m)
Erling Haaland has scored a ridiculous 17 goals in just 16 Premier League appearances. These numbers are nothing less than ridiculous, and his current unstoppable form means he is our top pick as the best FPL captain for this week. City will also be facing an underwhelming West Ham side at home, and this one has a Haaland masterclass written all over it.
Hugo Ekiteke (Liverpool, £8.6m)
Hugo Ekiteke is in his best form yet after joining Liverpool from Frankfurt, having scored a total of 4 goals in his last 2 Premier League games. Liverpool will next be facing Tottenham who have been in disastrous form recently. Thus, Ekiteke stands out as one of the Fantasy Premier League captain picks for this week, as he could wreck havoc on a vulnerable Spurs defense. Additionally, Salah leaving for AFCON and Alexander Isak still getting back to full fitness means there will be no more worries regarding the minutes of Ekiteke.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal, £10.3m)
With Viktor Gyökeres underperforming and Gabriel Jesus always a risk due to his fitness issues, Bukayo Saka would be our pick as the best FPL captain for Gameweek 17 if you're going with an Arsenal player. Everton away isn't the toughest fixture out there, and Saka also takes the set-pieces as well which means more chances of attacking returns. Definitely a great option if you're insistent on not captaining Haaland this Gameweek.
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa, £7.1m)
Manchester United have been undefeated in their last 4 Premier League games, but their performance has been absolutely shocking in those games. They even conceded 4 goals last week against Bournemouth, and will now be facing the most in-form side of the Premier League in Aston Villa. Thus, picking Villa's current star player Morgan Rogers as your FPL captain is a bold yet intriguing choice that could end up giving you huge returns.
Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth, £7.5m)
Antoine Semenyo scored a great goal against Manchester United last week in what was a thrilling 4-4 draw. Thus, he'll surely be full of confidence when Bournemouth take on Burnley at home this week, which is a game that could end with Bournemouth destroying their opponents. If you're looking for a differential FPL captain this week that could end up scoring huge points, then Semenyo is the player to pick according to us.
Those were our pick of Best FPL captain for this week (GW17) in the Premier League. All these players have a huge chance of giving you fantastic returns in Gameweek 17, so choose wisely according to your preferences. That's it from us for now, we will be seeing you soon with our next edition of Best FPL captains this week for Gameweek 18. See you soon!
