Best FPL captain picks for Gameweek 19 (GW19)

Cole Palmer (Chelsea, £10.4m)

Chelsea and Cole Palmer have been struggling quite a lot recently in the Premier League and thus you might be asking the question of why we have picked him in our best FPL captains for the week. The simple reason is the side they'll face in Gameweek 19, Bournemouth. Andoni Iraola have gone from exceeding expectations in the start of the Premier League to now being in absolute disastrous form. Palmer could rip apart their defence and end with a huge FPL total after the game.


Matheus Cunha (Manchester United, £8.1m)

Matheus Cunha will be facing his old club Wolves in Gameweek 19, and thus he is sure to be even more motivated than usual for the game. With Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo out, Cunha is the best FPL captain for the week if you wish to captain a United player. Wolves at home is the easiest fixture of the entire season for any team, and thus there's a very high probability that Cunha ends up with a goal or 2 in this game.


Nick Woltemade (Newcastle, £7.4m)

Nick Woltemade might've been disappointing against Manchester United in the previous Gameweek, but he is almost sure to have an impressive performance when Newcastle face Burnley away this week in the Premier League. Woltemade's movements and physical strength is sure to be a major advantage against a weak Burnley defense, and he could easily exploit that to bag a couple of goals.


Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool, £9.1m)

Hugo Ekiteke is in the form of his life at Liverpool right now, having made direct goal contributions in his last 4 Premier League games. Arne Slot's side will be facing Leeds at home in Gameweek 19, who are known for conceding a lot of goals. In fact, Ekitike had scored a brace for Liverpool the last time these 2 sides met, and that makes him an even more attractive Fantasy Premier League captain for this week.


Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £15.1m)

Manchester City will have a tricky fixture in Gameweek 19, as they'll face Sunderland away. However, Erling Haaland is a rare beast in the Premier League who could easily end up scoring a hat-trick in any fixture regardless of the opposition. The midfielders behind him such as Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki are in great form as well right now, which means better passes and more probability for Haaland to end up scoring in the game.


Those were our picks of Best FPL captains for this week (GW19). The captaincy pick is one of the most important factors that'll play a huge role in your final Fantasy Premier League rankings, so choose wisely.
