Best FPL captains for this week - GW22 (Gameweek 22)
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, £9.1m)
Michael Carrrick has been announced as Manchester United's new interim coach after the sacking of Ruben Amorim, and the Manchester derby this Premier League weekend will be his first match in-charge. Thus, we can expect a manager bounce and possible United victory. Carrick's appointment also probably means Utd switching to a back 4 again, which will see Bruno Fernandes back to his very best position. Thus, all signs are quite positive when it comes to picking Bruno Fernandes as your FPL captain this week.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £15.1m)
For those who believe there will be no manager bounce for Michael Carrrick and Bruno Fernandes might not make a huge impact in his preferred No. 10 position, Erling Haaland is definitely one of the best FPL captain picks for this week. Despite circumstances making a UTD win possible, there's no arguing in the fact that Manchester United's defense has been poor this season. Thus, Haaland could take advantage of that and turn Carrick's first game at Old Trafford into a nightmare.
Hugo Ekiteke (Liverpool, £8.9m)
Hugo Ekiteke has been Liverpool's best player this season under Arne Slot. He recently returned from injury in Liverpool's FA Cup game against Barnsley, and was directly involved in 2 goals despite just playing for over half an hour. Liverpool play Burnley at home this Premier League week, which is one of the easiest fixtures of the season. This makes Hugo Ekiteke one of the best FPL captain picks for Gameweek 22.
Cole Palmer (Chelsea, £10.4m)
Another club other than Manchester United who could benefit from a new manager bounce is Chelsea. Their Gameweek 22 home fixture against Brentford will be Rosenior's first Premier League game as Chelsea manager, and Brentford could end up dropping points despite their great form recently. Cole Palmer will probably be one of the star players Rosenior builds his team around, and he definitely stands out as one of the best FPL captain picks for this week.
Nick Woltemade (Newcastle, £7.3m)
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has been frequently rotating Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa as the main striker for their starting eleven. This has made it a nightmare scenario for their owners in Fantasy Premier League. However, the fact Yoane Wissa started in Newcastle's Carabao Cup semi-final against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City makes us believe Woltemade will start Wolves away for Newcastle in GW22. Wolves has one of the worst defenses in the league, and this makes Woltemade one of the best captains choices for Gameweek 22.
Those were our selection of Best FPL captain picks for this week (GW22). 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 after giving it a lot of thought. That's it from us for now, we will be seeing you soon with our next picks of Best FPL captains for Gameweek 23. See you soon!
