Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are offered an early chance to go against the grain for the captaincy, with Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) boasting the best fixture of the second round as Liverpool hosts Bournemouth.

Here we examine the credentials of Liverpool’s Egyptian, captaincy heavyweight Erling Haaland (£14.0m), and alternative candidates from Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa.

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 18:15 BST deadline.
