Getting of to a good start in FPL is absolutely crucial and for that to happen it is absolutely important that your CAPITAN provides you good returns, So lets look into some of the potential GW1 capitan picks you can consider!

POPULAR CAPITAN CHOICES:

MO SALAH 12.5 MIL NORWICH-HOME:

The Egyptian King! Ever since Mo Salah appeared on the scene for Liverpool, he has been a fan favorite. Mo Salah is the one and only player to break the 300 point barrier in a single season of FPL. He is arguably the best forward in the league at the moment. A back to back golden boot winner, Salah is owned by 38.8% of FPL manager already ahead of the new season. With James Milner set to play a more subdued role, it is Salah who is believed to be the first choice penalty taker.

RAHEEM STERLING 12 MIL WEST HAM- HOME:

Raheem Sterling has grown by leaps and bounds ever since Pep came into the club, and has scored an incredible 35 goals in the last two seasons in the league. He secured 234 points in FPL last season which was only bettered by Hazard(238) and Salah(259).

The Manchester City wide man has a fine record against his weekend hosts, West Ham United, He has produced one goal and seven assists in his last three visits to the Hammers.That includes a goal, two assists and 16 FPL points in the corresponding fixture last season. He also scored twice as a second-half substitute against the Hammers in last month’s Premier League Asia Trophy.
The appeal of both Salah and Sterling has been boosted by a lack of recent club action from their respective team-mates Sadio Mane (£11.5m) and Sergio Aguero (£12.0m),Neither Mane nor Aguero took part in pre-season as they both had busy summers on international duty.

HARRY KANE 11 MIL ASTON VILLA-HOME:

Harry Kane (£11.0m) can provide the main challenge to Salah and Sterling,The Tottenham Hotspur forward takes on promoted Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening, Kane has found form over the summer, scoring winners against Juventus and Real Madrid. Promoted teams have not done well in the opening GW in the past and with villa signing 13 players it is safe to say their performance as a unit together needs to be seen, this makes kane a striking alternative to salah and sterling

Perhaps a hat trick to begin with?

Want to try something different and looking for some differential picks?

Lets look into the lesser owned players who could well be your GW1 heroes

Jamie Vardy 9 MIL wolves-Home:

The Leicester City forward sits in only 10.6 per cent of squads for his home encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers.Yet his form under Brendan Rodgers last season suggests he could soon rise in popularity.In 10 appearances under Rodgers, the forward averaged 7.6 points per match (ppm).His nine goals during this period were more than any other player in FPL.Wolves, meanwhile, managed just two clean sheets away from home last season, better only than the one of Arsenal.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 11 mil NEWCASTLE-AWAY:

Meanwhile, Arsenal frontman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) visits Newcastle United in excellent form.The 30-year-old scored in three of the Gunners’ final four summer friendlies, while also supplying an assist over pre-season.Aubameyang was one of the most reliable scorers on the road in 2018/19.Only two players bettered his total of nine away goals.

CALLUM WILSON 8 MIL SHEFFIELD UNITED -HOME:

Callum Wilson (£8.0m) could also bring in a big haul at home against Sheffield United.AFC Bournemouth’s top scorer averaged 5.6 points per match last term, ranking fourth among forwards.When selected, Wilson was involved in 54 per cent of his side’s goals, more than any team-mate.

Other notable differentials worth picking are Ashley barnes/Chris wood who have been on fire during the course of the pre season, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial could worth the gamble coming up against a not so settled Chelsea Defense.

All the best for GW1 guys!
