FPL managers will approach Gameweek 28 with the same amount of anticipation and excitement as the previous four Double Gameweeks, with the PL season shaping up for a phenomenal climax.
Premium FPL options like Jamie Vardy and Mohamed Salah are losing their FPL owners after a prolonged period of blanks, and it'll be interesting to see how they fare at the business end of the season.
These transfers also play a huge role in who a lot of FPL managers make captain, with the likes of Harry Kane, Ilkay Gundogan, Son Heung-Min, and of course, Bruno Fernandes, benefitting from sales to Salah or Vardy.
Gameweek 28 could, in fact, be a potential comeback period for Salah and Vardy, who both scored in the reverse fixture against their respective opponents earlier in the season. They'll be up against the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Harry Kane, and Son Heung-Min.
All in all, the captaincy choices of FPL managers will play an even more crucial role from now up till the end of the season. On On that note, let's take a look at the top five FPL captaincy picks for Gameweek 28.
Honorable Mentions:
Jamie Vardy (LEI) (FWD) (£10.2 m) and Timo Werner (CHE) (FWD) (£9.2 m), Raheem Sterling (MCI) (MID) (£11.6 m), Gareth Bale (TOT) (MID) (£9.4 m).
#5 Mohamed Salah (LIV) (MID) - £12.5 m (vs) WOL(A)
The odds seem to be stacked up against Liverpool and Mo Salah with the Egyptian suffering another blank when the Reds succumbed to a sixth straight home defeat in Gameweek 27. Despite being the top-scorer in the Premier League(17 goals), Salah is the most sold FPL asset heading into Gameweek 28, most likely due to 11 blanks in his last fourteen Gameweeks.
Against a Wolves side that seems determined to rise above mid-table obscurity, Liverpool will have their task cut out and their frontline will look to get back to their old clinical self. One positive sign is that Liverpool have created chances but failed to convert them. Salah is still number one on the Threat index, and if he regains his sharpeness, he could certainly get back among the goals again.
Having registered a goal and an assist in the reverse fixture, Liverpool, as well as FPL managers, will hope that Salah reverts to goalscoring mode, and he certainly has what it takes to do just that.
#4 Son Heung-Min (TOT) (MID) - £9.6 m (vs) ARS (A)
A revitalized Spurs side will take on Arsenal in the North London derby in FPL Gameweek 28, and Son will look to get on the scoresheet in this game. Son hasn't been able to replicate his success from earlier in the season, and has had just four attacking returns in the last eleven Gameweeks.
Part of the reason would be that he's no longer playing ahead of Kane, with the Englishman moving to a more advanced position, and Son and Bale playing on the flanks behind him. This, however, doesn't lessen Son's FPL potential too much, with him creating a lot of goalscoring chances while still getting some of his own.
He can trouble the constantly changing Arsenal defense with his runs in behind and can repeat his heroics from the reverse fixture earlier this season.
#3 Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) (MID)- £11.8 m vs FUL (A)
Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne is a great FPL captaincy option for Gameweek 28. The Belgian boasts much better attacking stats than teammate Ilkay Gundogan and has been unlucky not to register more FPL returns. De Bruyne has thirteen shots and fourteen key passes in comparison to Gundogan's seven and three.
He is doing great in the advanced position that he took up earlier this season, and sooner or later, the FPL returns should start coming for him. He has also been a bit wasteful in front of goal, and he'll look to sharpen his finishing ahead of this game against Fulham.
The Cottagers have been defending really well, but if anyone can breach their defense, it's De Bruyne.
#2 Bruno Fernandes (MUN) (MID) - £11.5 m (vs) WHU(H)
Bruno Fernandes punished his sellers by netting a penalty in a 2-0 derby victory over Manchester City in Gameweek 27. He can carry on that form against West Ham in Gameweek 28 and remains a great FPL captaincy option.
While West Ham have defended pretty well this season, one will certainly remember how Fernandes' 45-minute cameo turned the game around for United when these sides met earlier this season. With sixteen goals and twelve FPL assists, Fernandes is the first player to cross 200 FPL points this season.
He seems very likely to add to that tally and is a very bankable FPL captaincy option in Gameweek 28.
#1 Harry Kane (TOT) (FWD) - £11.3 m (vs) ARS(A)
An in-form Harry Kane against Arsenal in the North London derby looks like the perfect recipe for a great FPL haul. Kane produced a stunning 19-point FPL tally in Gameweek 27 against Crystal Palace and will look to carry on that form to this crucial fixture.
Gareth Bale has combined extremely well with Kane, Son, and Moura, to make a fearsome attacking quartet, and a tweak in the formation means that Kane finds himself in a more attacking position than earlier in the season. Kane has a great record against Arsenal and played a pivotal role in Spurs' 2-0 win over them earlier this season.
He's likely to carry on his strong form and find the net again.
