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.

HARRY KANE/SON HEUNG-MIN

The best Spurs players for FPL Double Gameweek 29 and beyond

              I dont think its beyond the point, were assessing credibilty of twitter rumours and so far this season they have been correct. false rumours would be no covid at all and/or the completely wrong players and thats never happened once. so id say this raph one has legs based on that

    Is it worth a 4pt hit to bring in a playing defender?
    I'll have 9 players playing after the Toney transfer.

    I still have a FH, WC and BB remaining.

      If I were going for one, I'd go for Maddison. Apart from his involvement on set pieces, plus less minutes played midweek, he also scored against Brentford earlier this season.

      With Vardy injured and Daka/Nacho out of form i think Maddison is the one who will try to score.I remember his words that he wants to score more goals.And of course he is on penalties.His often injuries my only concern.

          Its tough.Both Maddison and Barnes could go well.

    Digne in the French squad, but highly unlikely to play this weekend?

    Martinelli or Lacazette on a FH? Currently leaning towards Mart, moore impressed by him from watching Arsenal play.

      Was great against Liverpool wasn't he?

      I think I'd still go Laca on FH though

      If I could only have one on FH I'd probably opt for Martinelli, he looked so sharp against Pool. Laca an excellent option too of course and has pens but Martinelli is a bit of a flair pick & more enjoyable to own. Have some fun 🙂

    It's looking like a never ending debate who to chose between Barnes and Maddison.
    So who are you going with? 🙂

          Shame for Trent, opportunity to impress with England.

          FPL wise, if he leaves team now, unlikely to return with price difference and other doubles etc
