Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are looking to Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham United for the Gameweek 7 captaincy, and as per usual, the Captain Sensible article is here to highlight which assets have the best chance of hauling.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 7 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

Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m) leads the captain poll so far, having gained just under half of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Second-placed Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) has received 24.01% of votes ahead of his home match against Everton.

Michail Antonio (£8.0m) occupies third-place with 7.49%, with the top-five list completed by Mohamad Salah (£12.6m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m), with 3.26% and 3.14% respectively.

ROMELU LUKAKU

Lukaku on target as Chelsea assets prosper at Arsenal 2

    Best option to buyin this GW?
    I already have Rudiger.

    A. Alonso
    B. Azpi
    C. Cancelo

    Will Alonso start ? Is Azpi nailed as James is not fit yet ? Could City keep CS against Liverpool ?

    This might be an obvious question, but who to captain this week?

    A) Ronaldo (EVE)
    B) Salah (CITY)
    C) Sarr (leeds)
    D) Antonio (BRE)
    E) Rudiger (SOU)

    Ronaldo the easy pick, but United haven't looked great lately. Sarr v leeds could be a good punt. Rudiger look a safe bet for 6 points.

    Or am I overthinking this and just keep the band on Ronaldo.

    Alonso, Rudiger, Coufal.
    Salah, Benrahma, Greenwood, Gray, Bissouma.
    Bamford**, Anto, Lukaku.

    Raph might miss GW8
    TAA might play gw8 - do you keep money for him?
    Drop Ron? Might go big at OT
    Drop Sarr? Good fixture @LEE
    Get ARS? Can easily become a false dawn after nor bur and NLD (I'm not convinced yet)
    Toney/Mbeumo ugly fixtures but then turn gold in 10/11
