Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 12?

Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) top-scorer Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) once again looks like the leading captaincy candidate, as Liverpool host Arsenal in Gameweek 12.

However, is there a case to be made for either Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m), Son Heung-min (£10.3m) or Harry Kane (£12.2m), especially given the latter’s fine form for England during the international break?

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 12 captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 GMT deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

For the fifth successive Gameweek, Mohamed Salah is the leader of the captain poll, having picked up just under 50% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Second-placed Harry Kane has received 14.56% of votes ahead of his home match against Leeds United, fresh from netting seven goals for England against Albania and San Marino.

Cristiano Ronaldo occupies third-place with 7.68%, followed by Son Heung-min and Jamie Vardy (£10.7m), with 6.15% and 5.13% respectively.

MOHAMED SALAH

              I'd start both, as I like this fixture for them, then look to sell one, but that's just me, I could get it completely wrong.

      Have 2FT and want Trent for his run of games, but not necessarily this fixture.

      Rather than burn the transfer, I might move early in which case it's:

      Duffy & Antonio > Trent & Davis (4.4)

      So basically Trent v Antonio this week. Probably worth just doing it and looking at the big picture right?

          Yeah think Liv vs Ars will not be a goal fest and utd will probably knock a few past Watford

            I can understand if Salah is slightly ahead, but he's miles out in front. People choosing who they will captain rather than who the best captain is

                Writing before having a strong cup of coffee and really waking up makes everything possible. Or perhaps it was that covid shot I had yesterday and micro chip installed to me is malfunctioning 🙁
