Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 15?

559 Comments

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) is once again the standout captaincy candidate in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), as Liverpool visit Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 15.

However, given that only Manchester City and Chelsea have conceded fewer goals than Bruno Lage’s side this season, plus the fact they have the second-worst attack, is there a case to be made for team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.0m)?

There are other viable alternatives, too, including Tottenham Hotspur duo Son Heung-min (£10.4m) and Harry Kane (£12.3m), plus penalty-taking Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.3m), fresh from Thursday’s second-half brace.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 15 captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 BST deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

Mohamed Salah is the clear leader of the captain poll for the eighth Gameweek in a row, with just over 58% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

No other player has garnered more than 15% of votes at this stage, with Harry Kane in second backed by 12.63%.

Spurs team-mate Son Heung-min occupies third-place with 7.38%, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo and Reece James (£6.3m), with 5.38% and 3% respectively.

      I sold Ronaldo to Kane as I had a FT burning a whole in my pocket. Feel like a ruddy fool.

      Captained Salah though, now is not the time to gamble captaincy.

        Pep Guardiola says that everyone bar Ferran Torres is available for selection, so Ilkay Gundogan, John Stones, Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne return to contention.

        Def keeping one of them for Burnley, just don’t think the Burnley game is going to be full of goals to keep both. I may keep Wilson for Leicester depending on how this weekend goes. As I’ve got 2 FTs not too keen burning the transfer when I know they aren’t long term holds, that’s why trying to figure out best replacements

            I'm on both, think it's OK but monitoring as slight concern from last 2 games. Should be OK once Kante or Jorginho are back

            I don't think that's too much. I've got James and Alonso.

            I’d argue it’s not enough.

            It might not matter in the end, but maybe Foden out of those.

            E. Maybe D if you're confident enough that he starts

            They were saying this on commentary then he absolutely sprinted full pelt after. Slight grimace coming off then ran down the tunnel. No way is it a hamstring and I highly doubt he misses first game under new boss.

          Will Vardy be benched you think? Start Dennis or Antonio instead?
