Best FPL captain picks this week (Gameweek 27)

Igor Thiago (Brentford, £7.0m)

Brighton are in terrible form at the moment, having failed to win their last 6 Premier League games. The game is also taking place in Brentford's home. Thus, all signs point towards Igor Thiago making a huge impact in this game. The Brazilian has been outstanding this EPL season, having scored 17 league goals already. Brighton are a club that always concede lots of goals as well. He is undoubtedly one of the best FPL captains for this week.


Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa, £7.6m)

Similar to Brighton, Leeds are another club that always concede a lot of goals in their games. Thus, Morgan Rogers is another candidate that stands out as one of the best FPL captain picks for this week. The English midfielder has scored 8 and assisted another 5 this season so far, which are great numbers and also reflects his fantastic all-round impact in attack. Definitely an attractive captain for Gameweek 27.


Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, £9.8m)

Bruno Fernandes has arguably been the best individual player in the Premier League so far this season. His numbers are a proof of that, as they are simply unbelievable for a midfielder who played the majority of the Premier League season in a number 8 midfield position with defensive responsibilities. The Portuguese midfielder has 6 goals and 12 assists in the EPL this season, and is undoubtedly a great captaincy option.


Cole Palmer (Chelsea, £10.6m)

Cole Palmer is our personal top FPL captain for this week. The former Manchester City star has been outstanding for Chelsea in recent weeks, and is reminding everyone how good he can be when fit and full of confidence. Palmer has been struggling with injury issues throughout this season, but it does look like he's slowly recovering completely and near to 100% again. Burnley at home is a game where we would absolutely captain him over anyone else for this Gameweek.


Antoine Semenyo (Manchester City, £8.0m)

If you're looking for a differential FPL captain for this week, then Antoine Semenyo is an excellent pick. The former Bournemouth winger has been outstanding since joining Pep Guardiola’s side, having already scored 3 goals in 5 EPL games for the Citizens. Although Erling Haaland is fit to play against Newcastle, he may still not be 100% and Guardiola might not risk him. Hence, Semenyo might be a safe and better Man City FPL captain for this week.


Those were our pick of Best FPL captains this week (GW27) in the Premier League. The captaincy is one of the most important decisions in any Fantasy Premier League Gameweek, so make sure to choose it wisely after careful consideration. That's it from us for now, we will be seeing you soon with our next picks of best FPL captains for Gameweek 28
