Gameweek 20 is almost upon us, and we are here to help you out with our pick of the best FPL captains for this week. GW20 is a tricky one when from a Fantasy Premier League perspective, as Erling Haaland isn't the best straightforward captaincy choice like in most weeks. There are other exciting options as well, and we have found them for you after our expert analysis and research. Let's not waste any more time then, scroll down below to find out our Best FPL captain picks this week.
Best FPL captain this week - GW20 (Gameweek 20)
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £15.1m)
It's been 2 games since Erling Haaland has scored a Premier League goal, and some fans have already started to claim he's lost his scoring touch. Such has been the high standard set up by the Norwegian, that even a 2-game goal drought leads to him getting trolled. City face Chelsea at home this week, with the latter being a club in crisis right now. Thus, it presents a perfect opportunity for Haaland to take advantage of the situation and get back to scoring ways. Undoubtedly one of the best captain picks this week.
Cole Palmer (Chelsea, £10.4m)
Although Chelsea have been miserable recently, Cole Palmer has been Impressive since his return to injury. The English midfielder looks to be getting slowly back to his best, and his impressive record against big teams for Chelsea makes a great FPL captain pick for this week. Our opinion is to make Palmer your captain only if you enjoy the high-risk high-reward nature of Fantasy Premier League, as Chelsea's current club situation gives City a major advantage in the game.
Hugo Ekiteke (Liverpool, £9.1m)
Arne Slot owes a lot to Hugo Ekiteke, as he has been their one and only player who has performed like a true world-class star this season. He has defied all the expectations and already outshined his fellow summer signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, who both arrived with high expectations only to disappoint so far. Liverpool face Fulham away in Gameweek 20, and Ekiteke has a huge chance of scoring a goal or 2 in the game.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal, £10.3m)
Bukayo Saka might be the best FPL captain for this week if you're looking for a low-risk straightforward captain pick that's most likely to give you at least decent points. The major reason for that is Mikel Arteta's side will be facing Bournemouth, who have gone from starting the Premier League season in spectacular fashion to now being a shockingly poor side. Arsenal and Saka are also coming from their historic 4-1 thrashing of Aston Villa, and thus they'll have all the confidence and aggression in the world.
Danny Welbeck (Brighton, £6.3m)
Danny Welbeck is surely one of the best FPL differential captain picks this Gameweek if you look at Brighton's fixture this week. They face Burnley at home, who have been one of the worst teams in the league so far. Brighton's attacking style of play and Welbeck's impressive form this season means that this could be a game where he could potentially outscore other forwards at the end of the Gameweek. Definitely a unique captaincy option that could strike gold.
Those were our pick of Best FPL captains for this week (GW20) in the Premier League. The captaincy is one of the most important factors that'll play a huge role in your final Fantasy Premier League rankings, so choose wisely. That's it from our side for now, we will be seeing you soon with our next picks of best FPL captain for Gameweek 21. Goodbye for now.
