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.

            May sound odd but as a Havertz owner I was kind of hoping Kaku would be back, as it would make Havertz > Jota a whole lot easier. Similar to Glynn below the transfer is an enabler for me for next week (Rudiger > TAA). I guess I will hold Havertz now and just hope there are no price rises/falls

            I'd be tempted tbh depends on your position though really, I've found my mini league is full of similar teams and it's hard to find genuine decent differentials - Ronaldo this week could be one?

            As I'm on my WC I sort of feel this is an opportunity, give Kane another week to audition etc

            Good luck

            A is good for this week...If you don't mind a hit(I avoid as much as possible) then C looks like a good option....
            If you ask me, id say wait a week and see how Spurs perform then you have 2FTs to do next GW...

            I like C a lot tbh.

            I still don't know how long firmino is out for 2 weeks or 6 weeks?

            Yeah, slight concern about Jimi being benched but no outstanding bench option to replace him there so you're all good

            I would go for ESR to start as a differential and Jimi benched...

            Not really, FWIW I think it’ll be

            Mendy
            James Christensen Rudiger
            Azpi Kante Jorginho Chilwell
            CHO Havertz Mount

              Assuming James back there to cope with Vardys pace?

          I feel like I need to start Reg and Livra but who for? Any thoughts welcome.

          Thanks in advance.

          Currently on a WC:
          Chilwell James Cancelo Cresswell Livramento
          ESR Gallaghar Salah Son Benrahma
          Toney Antonio Hwang

          ITB: 0.9

          A) James > TAA
          B) Chilwell > TAA
          Will have to downgrade elsewhere to get 0.9 more for the transfer

          BTW: Where all do i downgrade to get Kane into this team?

            Update:
            Can do
            Cresswell > Reguilon
            Livramento > Duffy
            Benrahma > Cornet
            I'll have enough to do either James/Chilwell > TAA.
            Yay or Nay?
