Best FPL captain this week (Gameweek 8)
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £14.5m)
Erling Haaland is undoubtedly our best FPL captain for this week. The kind of form Haaland is in right now, it would be nothing less than a huge risk to not pick him as your captain. Manchester City will also be facing Everton at home in Gameweek 8, which is a fixture that City is expected to win by a few goals. Whether FPL captain picks or not, just make sure to have Erling Haaland in your Fantasy Premier League team for Gameweek 8.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, £14.4m)
Mohamed Salah might not be at his best right now, but one of the biggest mistakes FPL owners could do is to completely ignore him. Liverpool will be facing Manchester United at home in GW8, and this might even seem like a tough fixture on paper. However, a look at the stats show us that Mohamed Salah has scored 13 goals and provided 6 assists in just 15 Premier League appearances against Manchester United. This alone makes him one of the best FPL captain picks for this week.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal, £9.9m)
If you're not team Haaland or Salah when it comes to FPL captaincy for this week, then Bukayo Saka stands out as one of the most unique options for Gameweek 8. The English winger is now back to full fitness and also looks like his usual self full of confidence and flair. Arsenal also face Fulham away in GW8, which is a really decent fixture and one that could see Saka end up with some really great attacking returns.
João Pedro (Chelsea, £7.7m)
João Pedro might be one of the best underrated FPL captains for this week, and one could end up as a masterstroke by the time the Premier League weekend ends if you're willing to pick him. Chelsea will face Nottingham Forest away in GW8, and Ange Postecoglou's side are bound to be terribly exposed in defense due to Forest players being unable to adjust to his tactics so far and also being in terrible form right now. All signs point towards Pedro having a fantastic game against Forest.
Nick Woltemade (Newcastle United, £7.2m)
If you're an FPL player who loves to play the game with absolute risk and full of thrills, then Nick Woltemade is surely the best differential FPL captain pick for this week. Newcastle's Alexander Isak replacement has had a dream start to his Premier League career, and we expect him to continue his goalscoring run against Brighton in GW8. His ownership is just 11.1% as well, and captaining him could end up as a gamble that results in huge rewards. Do it if you're willing to take the risk we say.
