We are here with our pick of the best FPL captains for this week (Gameweek 18). While most of the players in Fantasy Premier League would opt for Erling Haaland as their captain in most Gameweeks, GW18 has some excellent other alternatives as well with huge potential for points if you're interested in looking for a non-Haaland FPL captain. Anyways, Let's not delay any further then, scroll down below to find out our Best FPL captain picks this week.
Best FPL captain this week - GW18 (Gameweek 18)
Hugo Ekiteke (Liverpool, £9.0m)
Hugo Ekiteke has scored a total of 5 goals in his last 4 games for Liverpool, and is currently in unstoppable form. Liverpool face the worst Premier League team currently in Wolves next, and this could be the game where Ekiteke could potentially score his first ever hat-trick for Liverpool. He is surely one of the best FPL captains for this week considering his form and the poor defense of the opposition.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £15.1m)
Erling Haaland as usual is there in our pick of the best Fantasy Premier League captains for this week. He's on course to break several goalscoring records in the Premier League this season at his current scoring rate, and he'll look to add another few more in the away fixture against Forest this weekend. The only thing to note is that Forest are an ultra-defensive side, which could sometimes make this a tight game. However, Haaland is that one player who could end scoring with ease regardless of the opposition's tactics.
Jack Grealish (Everton, £6.5m)
Jack Grealish is our pick of the best differential captain you can select for Gameweek 18. Everton face a Burnley side who have one of the worst defenses in the Premier League, and a player like Grealish could inflict serious damage on them. If you're someone who loves to take risks in Fantasy Premier League, captaining Grealish could end up being a bold decision that results in a jackpot for you.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal, £10.3m)
Brighton are a club that are often exposed at the back due to their attacking style of play, and this is why we have chosen Bukayo Saka as one of the best FPL captains for this week. The gaps left behind due to Brighton's playing style could provide tons of opportunities for Saka to take advantage of and end up with attacking returns in the form of goals or assists. This is one of those games where you could confidently captain without being too worried.
Morgan Rogers (Chelsea, £7.3m)
Morgan Rogers is on a whole other level at the moment. In fact, Aston Villa is going to struggle to keep him at the club if he continues to grow and shine at this rate. Villa are arguably the best team in the league right now, and Rogers has been the star player behind that success. Enzo Maresca's Chelsea side are struggling quite a bit at the moment, and we feel Rogers could end up causing more misery to the Blues and their supporters.
Those were our pick of best FPL captains for this week. All the players we have mentioned above have a solid chance of putting up a huge total in FPL after this Premier League weekend, so choose your ideal captain according to your gut feeling. That's it from us for now, see you soon for best FPL captain picks for Gameweek 19.
