Best FPL captain this week (Gameweek 24)

Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £15.0m)

Erling Haaland finally scored a goal again in City's recent Champions League game against Galatasaray. It was his first goal in a long time, and that was surely the confidence boost that he needed. For players like Haaland, one goal is all that's needed to begin an excellent goalscoring run. Thus, he's definitely one of the best FPL strikers for this week, as City will be facing a Tottenham side who have been simply horrible this season.


Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, £9.5m)

Bruno Fernandes has put up excellent numbers for Manchester United this season despite playing most of the season in a deeper role under Ruben Amorim. Now, the Portuguese is back to his preferred No. 10 position under caretaker boss Michael Carrick, and his attacking numbers are expected to improve even further now. United will be facing Fulham at home this Premier League weekend, which is a decent fixture for Fernandes to end up with big numbers.


Cole Palmer (Chelsea, £10.4m)

Cole Palmer only played 45 minutes in Chelsea's thrilling 2-3 victory over Napoli in the Champions League. Thus, we are almost certain that he'll start and play up to 70 minutes minimum in Chelsea's home fixture against West Ham. The Hammers have been really poor this season in the Premier League, and a player like Cole Palmer could do serious damage to their defence and end up with huge returns. He is undoubtedly one of the best FPL captain picks for this week.


Bukayo Saka ( Arsenal, £10.0m)

Arsenal will face Leeds away this Premier League weekend, who are one of the weakest teams in the Premier League, especially in Defense. Thus, a player like Saka could rip the Leeds defenders to absolute shreds and create huge issues for them. His ability to provide killer passes and shoot brilliantly from distance means there's a big opportunity for Saka to end the Gameweek with huge points. Thus, he is surely a really attractive Fantasy Premier League captaincy pick for the week.


João Pedro (Chelsea, £7.2m)

João Pedro was the hero for Chelsea when they faced Napoli in the Champions League this week. He scored a second half brace to help Chelsea earn all 3 points, and the Brazilian also scored in Chelsea's last Premier League game against Crystal Palace. Thus, the former Brighton player is in excellent form at the moment. If you don't have enough money for Palmer, then Pedro is definitely a great captaincy pick.


Those were our picks of Best FPL captain picks this week (GW6) 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 us for now, we will be seeing you soon with our next picks for Best FPL captain this week. See you soon!
