Who are the best FPL captain options for Blank Gameweek 30?

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are faced with a much smaller pool of viable captains than usual this weekend.

Blank Gameweek 30 features just four matches and only one team currently in the Premier League’s top five.

Unsurprisingly, Harry Kane (£12.4m) has emerged as the people’s favourite ahead of Sunday’s clash against West Ham United, but Son Heung-min (£10.9m) is an alternative option in the Tottenham Hotspur ranks, while Raul Jimenez (£7.6m) faces off against the division’s worst defence at Molineux.

First, we will assess the fallout of the captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Friday’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

As you can see, Harry Kane’s lead in the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll is a hugely significant one.

After producing eight attacking returns in the last four Gameweeks, the Spurs forward has attracted the support of 59.79% of votes.

Son Heung-min, meanwhile, sits in second, having been backed by 13.8% of FPL managers.

Raul Jimenez occupies third place with 4.6%, followed by Philippe Coutinho (£7.5m) and Bukayo Saka (£6.6m) on 4.18% and 3.14% respectively.

    Spurs fan but what a crazy job moyes has done, felt bad for him after United debarkle so glad he’s turned it round

    Pushing for top 4 in the late stages of europa league is an incredible job with a small club like West Ham

    Who are the best captain punts this week?! I am chasing so not going Kane. I own him but I’m just hoping for a WH tight game. Own Doherty too.

    Currently I can’t look passed Maddison. Pretty sure he’d start against Brentford when I saw the lineups last night. Definitely more so now after Albrighton and Ndidi came off injured.

    Any other better players to consider out there?!

    I have Toney on bench so moving him in for 343 over Barnes too
