So, without further delay, dive in and explore our expert picks for the best captains in Gameweek 32.
Best FPL captain this week - (Gameweek 32)
Danny Welbeck (Brighton, £6.2m)
Danny Welbeck is one of the best FPL differential captains you can pick for this week. Brighton will face a defensively weak Burnley in Gameweek 32, thus providing Welbeck with a great opportunity to score a goal or 2. The 35 year old former Arsenal and Manchester United striker has already scored 12 Premier League goals this season, and has proven to us that age is just a number.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £14.4m)
Erling Haaland was back to his brilliant best when Manchester City faced Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter finals, as he scored a brilliant Hat-trick to help his side destroy Arne Slot's team 4-0. The Citizens face a struggling Chelsea side next, whose defense this season has been shockingly poor at times. This makes Haaland a really attractive captaincy pick.
Gabriel (Arsenal, £7.2m)
We expect Arsenal vs Bournemouth this Premier League weekend to be one of those classic Arsenal games this season where it's going to be quite defensive and the Gunners somehow ends up with a goal via set-piece or open-play to snatch all the 3 points. Thus, Gabriel stands out as a high-risk high-reward FPL captain this week that could maybe earn you massive returns.
Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal, £8.8m)
If you're scared to put a defender like Gabriel as your FPL captain this week, but still want to captain an Arsenal player, then striker Viktor Gyökeres is another option for you. He's been in excellent form for Arsenal recently, and we are starting to see shades of the Gyökeres that terrorized defenders in Portugal now. He's a great pick for this weekend.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, £10.3m)
Bruno Fernandes is our number 1 pick for best Fantasy Premier League captain this week. United players have had the whole week off due to absence from European competitions, which means you'll have a fit and confident Bruno Fernandes this weekend. Michael Carrick's side will face Leeds as well, that too at home. All signs point towards Bruno getting you fantastic returns this Gameweek.
Selecting the right captain in Gameweek 32 can make a huge difference to your overall score and rank.
