With captain heavyweights erling haaland (£14.0 million) and mohamed salah (£13.0 million) in red-hot form and boasting favourable gameweek 14 fixtures, fantasy premier league (fpl) managers face the armband equivalent of a coin flip.
We follow the rule on a slew of viable alternatives and differentials from brentford, arsenal, aston villa, and newcastle united, apart from the usual due diligence to check if this coin is biased. The captain sensible article is here to show which assets have the best chance of hauling, as usual. We will first assess the results of the captain poll before deciding on the best options, rate my team (rmt), and the premier fantasy tools ratings ahead of saturday’s 13:30 gmt deadline.
Mohamed salah produced a subdued performance in liverpool’s 1-1 draw with manchester city at the etihad stadium, but provided the key pass as a late trent alexander-arnold (£7.9 million) strike earned a vital point.
It was a show that was bereft of a goal threat, with the right-winger struggling to make a single goal attempt against pep guardiola’s side. Salah’s assist was his 15th attacking return for the fpl’s top scorer this season. When liverpool takes on fulham, the egyptian is backed by just over four-tenths of our followers. Erling haaland also recorded the match’s highest expected goals (xg) total of 0.73, with five attempts in the box and two big chances all leading totals.
The norwegian opened the scoring for man city, scoring his 50th goal in 48 games, splitting liverpool’s defence before finding the bottom corner with ease. With 14 goals, haaland leads the goalscoring charts, but the captain poll finds it to be a bit odd. Spurs are being put to the sword by just under one-third of the population. Bukayo saka (£8.8 million) takes third place with 8.8%, followed closely by bryan mbeumo (£7.0 million). Gabriel martinelli (£7.8 million) is further back.
