Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers have three main captain candidates for Gameweek 6, with Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m), Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and Michail Antonio (£7.9m) all in the conversation.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 6 captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 BST deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

Ronaldo dominates the vote so far.

The Portuguese forward, who has produced four goals in three starts since re-signing for Manchester United, has gained 47.57% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Meanwhile, second-placed Salah has received 27.72% of votes ahead of his away match against Brentford.

Antonio occupies third place with 7.98%, with the top-five list completed by Romelu Lukaku (£11.6m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m), with 3.52% and 2.35% respectively.

MOHAMED SALAH AND SADIO MANE

HOW HAS CAPTAIN SENSIBLE PERFORMED SO FAR THIS SEASON?

    How do you feel about captaining a player playing your own team? Do you see it as damage limitation I.e. if you lose you get points, or do you consider a no go area.

    Personally struggle with the idea, hence not captaining Ronaldo, probably, this week.

          I see, you have to play with your head, not your heart in these matters. If you captain him and scores 3, woo hoo...
          If he blanks and Villa win, Woo hoo.... it's a win/win situation..

    If playing WC in week 8 would you just switch Raphinha to Sarr on free for next 2 to avoid the “ will he or won’t he play” or with Semedo first on bench would you be relaxed about it?
