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

    Sell Jota or Diaz? I am leaning towards Diaz. Don't Colombia have a late international just a few days before the GW31 Watford game? Jota deserves another chance after Klopp rewarded him for his goal by hauling him off before the hour.

    do you guys think its better to start cash or Coady? I am also unsure whether Martinelli or Barnes would start tbh, who would you use instead of them? already got Kane & son and don't want to triple up on spurs attackers as it could be a 0-0. WHU will be up for it

      Whu played 120 minutes yesterday. I expect them to be tired and I am more than happy to have triple Spurs attack. However Whu is good from corners, (has enough quality to score) and Spurs aren't good at defending them. I think this is good time to attack with triple Spurs attack.

        Klopp has usually been quite honest though. But at this stage he was going to blank anyway, then decent match and after that MCI, so zero reason to panic yet.
