Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) and Raheem Sterling (£12.0m) are expected to do battle for the Gameweek 2 captaincy.
The Egyptian was the overwhelming favourite for the armband in Gameweek 1 and rewarded his backers with a 12 point haul against Norwich.
However, Sterling went one better by netting a hat-trick and coming away from a 5-0 win over West Ham with a 20-point haul.
That big score is likely to inspire a host of Fantasy managers to captain the Englishman in Gameweek 2 as Spurs come to the Etihad Stadium.
Sterling was involved in 20 goals at home last season, 12 his own and eight assists, only Salah registering more involvements in front of his own fans (21).
Meanwhile, Spurs looked far from assured defensively as took their time to get into gear against Aston Villa in Gameweek 1.
However, Salah faces a trip to Southampton, a team he is more than capable of registering attacking involvement against.
Last season the Egpytian scored more goals away from home than any other player while Southampton kept just three clean sheets in front of their own fans.
Only Manchester United managed fewer than that in the whole of 2018/19 (two).
After registering a 13-point haul against Aston Villa, there is plenty of interest in Harry Kane (£11.0m).
However, it seems unlikely that many will back him for the captaincy considering it’s a trip to Manchester City up next.
More likely to trouble the favourites as a differential option is Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m).
He scored the only goal in Arsenal’s 1-0 win at Newcastle and faces a Gameweek 2 Saturday lunch-time meeting with Burnley.
You can now vote in the Gameweek 2 captain poll either below or in the website’s side-bar.
Joe and David will be discussing the captaincy on our YouTube channel at 12:30 pm on Monday afternoon too.
