More than seven million Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers were once again left scratching their heads Erling Haaland (£15.1m) eliminated for the third consecutive match in Gameweek 20.
However, the Norwegian remains by some distance the highest scoring player in Fantasy – and the favorite captain for many.
In ‘Captain Sensible’ we reconsider whether there is a reason to back Haaland in the final midweek round. Players from Manchester United, Brentford, Arsenal and Aston Villa provide the competition this time, in what appears to be a wide field of alternative options.
First we assess the on-site supplier investigation. We will then analyze player and team statistics And Rate my team (RMT) to determine the best captain for Gameweek 21 before Tuesday’s deadline at 6:30pm GMT.
Captain poll
Haaland sits atop the Fantasy Football Scout captaincy rankings. More than half of our site’s users believe that the Norwegian is the best option for Gameweek 21, despite six blanks in nine Gameweeks.
The highest scoring player in Gameweek 20, Igor Thiago (£7.0 million), is in second place and currently commands just over 15% of the vote. After a hat-trick against Everton, the Brazilian is unsurprisingly the most transferred attacking player before today’s deadline.
Elsewhere, Ollie Watkins (£8.7 million) and Jarrod Bowen (£7.6m) are the only other players to receive more than 5% support. The England internationals will face Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest respectively.
