Fantasy Premier League Tips: Best captains for FPL gameweek 2

Let’s check out five players who are set to claim the most points in FPL this weekend.

Choosing the right captain is key to having a successful gameweek on Fantasy Premier League. While you can keep a certain player as your FPL team’s captain throughout the season, it’s better to optimize based on the gameweek’s upcoming matches.

As we prepare for Premier League’s matchday 2, let’s review the best captains for your FPL side.

5- Trent Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool will face Bournemouth at Anfield after their 1-1 draw against Chelsea in their opening EPL match last weekend. According to most bookmakers, Liverpool have a clean sheet probability of over 45% in their next league game. This makes Alexander-Arnold a perfect choice for captaincy, as he also has a chance of being deployed higher up the pitch by Jurgen Klopp.

4- Erling Haaland

Haaland is an obvious choice for the captaincy role, and this gameweek is no exception. After scoring a first-half brace against Burnley last week, Haaland will most certainly start for the Citizens against Newcastle. The Norwegian superstar registered a goal and an assist in his two league games against the Magpies last season.

3- Moussa Diaby

Diaby scored in his Premier League debut last weekend as Villa lost 5-1 against Newcastle. We expect a different display from Unai Emery’s side when they take on Brighton this weekend. According to the bookmakers, Diaby has a higher chance of scoring for Villa even compared to Ollie Watkins.

2- Bukayo Saka

Saka’s masterclass performance helped Arsenal start the new campaign with a 2-1 victory against Forest last weekend. Next up, the Gunners will take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Palace might be a tough opponent at their home stadium, but Saka‘s form convinces us that he will be an ideal captain for your FPL team this week.

1- Mohamed Salah

Salah is the best player to choose as your captain for gameweek 2. The Egyptian star provided a brilliant assist for Luis Diaz’s goal against Chelsea last week. This weekend, Liverpool will face Bournemouth, against whom Salah has scored eight goals in eight matches.
