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.

        Lots of squad depth I guess, people choosing attackers over defence and maybe reluctance to play 5 at the back. I'm starting him though

              Hmm... a player with 1g1a playing for the 2nd worst attack in the league gets the picture in the captain sensible article...

                It doesn't necessarily mean he's the top pick, it's just nice to mix it up a bit after four weeks of Salah.

                  Yeah, I know. That's a dangerous thing though, letting "boredom" influence our choices. I know we've all gotten bored of Salah but gotta filter that out from our thinking entirely

                    Salah is the top captaincy pick in the article, by the way, but Kane is the big talking point this week, which I wanted to address and discuss.

              Really temped by Kane captain. Just think max Salah getting is 1 goal and it's just a plain boring pick. Anyone else thinking the same?

                Nope.. I like boring, as long as boring gets me points. I brought in Kane for Vardy this GW and i'm still not sure if it was the right decision.

              This team is good to go right? Captain choice and bench order all good? Was on Rudiger to start for ages but can't pass at Livramento playing Norwich.
