Who is the best captain for FPL Gameweek 12?

Deputy Editor Tom joined Scoutcast regular Joe earlier today to look at the best captaincy candidates for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) in Gameweek 12.

You can watch the video either embedded in this article below or on our YouTube channel.

A certain Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) once again looks like the leading armband option, as Liverpool host Arsenal on Saturday evening.

However, is there a case to be made for Tottenham Hotspur duo Son Heung-min (£10.3m) and Harry Kane (£12.2m), especially given the latter’s fine form for England during the international break?

In our video, we also discuss some of the less considered options, such as Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m) – who arguably has the most appealing fixture of the round, Michail Antonio (£8.2m), Phil Foden (£8.3m) and Joao Cancelo (£6.5m).

You can cast your vote on the widget of our home page, and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel to get notified of future episodes.

Don’t forget to check back for our Captain Sensible article later in the week, which will delve into even more detail on the main runners and riders.

      I would have waited if I didn’t also have Toney. Both were skating on thin ice. Their underlying stats are starting to mean nothing

    Don't know if it's just me or I've happened to catch the wrong games but every time I've watched an Argentina v Brasil game in recent years it's been pretty low on quality. Raphinha's been the only one that's looked like sparking much life into this game but even then it's really just been a couple of nice pieces of play

        Was fairly quiet for the first half of the half and Vinicious Junior was lively but the roles reversed a bit, Raphinha's bit of skill just before he had his mouth bloodied was lovely

      Referee's had his hands full that's for sure, it's actually been a bit tame compared to usual so I think he's dealt with it well but there's definitely a few bad tackles and challenges here and there

    Really want to get Vardy out and invest into midfield, - 1.0m ITB, 2FT

    Pick one:
    1) Vardy + Mbuemo + Normann --> Davis + Jota + Foden (3-5-2)
    2) Vardy + Mbuemo + Norman —> Armstrong/Hwang + Foden + Jota
    3) Raphinha —> Jota and Roll FT

    Basically weighing up whether to go for a stronger bench with Armstrong/Hwang or to keep more in the bank for further weeks

    Rest:
    Ramsdale
    TAA / Cancelo / Chillwell
    Salah / Son / Mbuemo / Raphinha
    Antonio / Toney / Vardy

    Foster, Livramento, Normann, Obamadele.

      Not sure there is a right answer.
      I'm actually on Kane + Foden with a look at getting in Gallagher as well

      Depends partly on structure and if Kane is a short term move to CR7 later. Personally i'm not convinced on that move myself

        I’m leaning towards the Son route… it allows for Mbeumo >> Gallagher next week or even Mbeumo Jimenez >> Jota Hwang (-4)

        Son has always been the plan so probably shouldn’t deviate…

    Anything standing out here to move. A few ideas. Still have my WC which needs to be considered. Thinking these moves for now.
    1. Bachmann/Gray -> Steele + Gallagher. Safer moves.
    2. Benrahma/Vardy-> Son/Wilson. More upside.
    3. Just WC and be done with it to get on the likes of Jota, Son, James.

    Sanchez.
    TAA, Chilwell, Cancelo, Livramento.
    Salah, Raphinha, Benrahma.
    Vardy, Jimenez, Antonio.
    Bachmann, Rudiger, Gray, Bissouma.
    2ft, 1.1 ITB. WC. OR about 45k.

    Sanchez, Steele.
    James, Royal, TAA, Cancelo, Livramento.

    Wilson, Antonio, Davis.

    Raul Jiménez Watch Update

    Mexico set up in a defensive back five for this match to cut off the wide areas. Their players including Jiménez looked uncomfortable; very cagey affair for most the first half. Jiménez himself a few sniffs and one attempted throughball but not really influential. Canada grew into the match, and scored off a rebound from a Mexican turnover just before halftime. Final update at full time.
