After three consecutive blanks, Erling Haaland (£15.1m) at least found the back of the net in Gameweek 21 to reward the millions of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who captained him.
But is the Norwegian the absolute top choice for Gameweek 22?
In ‘Captain Sensible’ we reconsider whether there is reason to root for Haaland as the Premier League returns after a domestic cup break. Liverpool, Chelsea or perhaps even alternative Manchester City players are options ahead of Saturday’s deadline at 11am GMT.
In this piece we review the on-site supplier surveyanalyze numerous player and team statisticsplease refer to the Review my team point projections (RMT). and settle for a top three for the bracelet.
Captain poll
Haaland sits atop the Fantasy Football Scout captaincy rankings. Nearly half of our site’s users believe the Norwegian is the best option for Gameweek 22, despite scoring just one goal in four Gameweeks.
Despite being sold by over 350,000 managers, Hugo Ekitike (£8.9m) is in second place and currently has just under 19% of the vote. The Frenchman scored a goal and an assist from the bench in the FA Cup on his return from injury.
Elsewhere, Antoine Semenyo (£7.6m), now from Man City, is the only other player to receive more than 5% support. Bruno Fernandes (£9.1m) is teetering around that mark after picking up an assist on his comeback last time out.
