FPL managers would relish the one-week break between Gameweeks 14 and 15 after a hectic week. They will, however, look to get their transfers and captaincy decisions on point as we near the Blank Gameweek 18 and Double Gameweek 19.
FPL managers must now be well aware of the rotation risks after most popular captain Mohamed Salah was benched against Crystal Palace. The Egyptian, however, came on from the bench to produce a sensational performance that gave him a 16-point FPL haul.
He'll be among the top captaincy options in a Gameweek 15 that has some tricky fixtures in store. Manchester City's home fixture against Newcastle United is also one to watch out for.
So on that note, let's now take a look at the top five FPL captaincy choices for Gameweek 15.
Honorable Mentions: Patrick Bamford (LEE) (FWD) (£6.3 m), and Marcus Rashford (MUN) (MID) (£9.8 m), and Raheem Sterling (MCI) (MID) (£11.4 m)
#5 Jack Grealish (AVL) (MID) - £7.8 m (vs) CRY(H)
Aston Villa's Jack Grealish is a great FPL option to consider as your captain for Gameweek 15. Villa take on a Crystal Palace side that just conceded seven goals in Gameweek 14 against Liverpool. Grealish has returned three goals and five assists in six home games and should influence the game heavily given Villa's good form and Palace's indifferent run.
While he does blank frequently, he also tends to return huge FPL hauls and is a good FPL captaincy option.
#4 Bruno Fernandes (MUN) (MID) £11.0 m (vs) LEI(A)
The in-form Bruno Fernandes is a good FPL captaincy option for Gameweek 15. Manchester United take on Leicester in what promises to be a high-octane encounter. Leicester's defense wears a solid look, with the likes of Jonny Evans, Wilfred Ndidi, and Timothy Castagne making their return to the team.
However, both Fernandes and United have been prolific away from home, with the team winning all their away games and Fernandes scoring 58 FPL points. Given their good goalscoring run, you'd expect United to get some goals and Fernandes to be involved.
#3 Sadio Mane (LIV) (MID) - £11.9 m (vs) WBA(H)
The Liverpool winger was unlucky to get just the nine FPL points in Gameweek 14 after being taken off around the 60-minute mark. He did have a great game, though, and scored a goal and supplied an assist. Mane, who broke his goal drought in GW 14, will look to make a huge impact in this home game against West Brom.
His underlying stats have been decent, and with Liverpool in such good form, one would expect Mane to have a huge role to play against the Baggies.
#2 Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) (MID) - £11.9 m (vs) NEW(H)
Kevin De Bruyne is a great FPL option to consider handing your armband to for FPL Gameweek 15. De Bruyne should be in the thick of things when Manchester City take on Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium. The Belgian has one goal and three assists in his last three home games and it could be argued that he should've had more.
With some of their attackers returning to full fitness, Manchester City should play to their full potential in this game. De Bruyne's creativity is likely to be rewarded, which makes him a great FPL captaincy option to consider.
#1 Mohamed Salah (LIV) (MID) - £12.5 m (vs) WBA(H)
Given the form that he's in, Salah as captain is a no-brainer. The Egyptian is the top-scorer in the Premier League (13 goals) as well as in FPL(118 points). His latest 16-point FPL haul against Crystal Palace that he got after coming off the bench showcased his explosive potential, and FPL managers have rushed to sign him.
He has been equally prolific in both home and away games this season, and a fixture against a West Brom side that has just had a managerial change looks like a fixture with a lot of goals for Liverpool. His brilliant form, and his penalty duties make him the standout FPL captaincy option this Gameweek.
