FPL 2020-21: 5 best captain choices for Gameweek 21 | FPL Tips

#3 Son Heung-Min (TOT) (MID) - £9.7 m (vs) BHA(A)

Son Heung-Min.

Son Heung-Min continues to be a reliable armband pick as he has been since the start of the season. With just three attacking returns in the last five Gameweeks (before the LIV game), Son's season has slowed down from the whirlwind start. However, a recent formation change has allowed him to offer more of a goal threat, and his set-piece duties also add to his attacking potential.

While he doesn't have such a great record against Brighton, Son certainly has what it takes to produce a decent FPL haul in Gameweek 21.

#2 Mohamed Salah (LIV) (MID) - £12.5 m (vs) WHU(A)

FPL managers will want Salah to be as clinical as this in front of the goal.

Mohamed Salah got back on the scoresheet, albeit for a losing cause in an FA Cup tie against Manchester United. With the title race thrown wide open, defending champions Liverpool will look to bounce back from their dry spell in the league. Mohamed Salah will be fully fired up for this game, and he'll look to find the net once more.

While West Ham has defended well against the big teams, Liverpool has managed to find a way past the Hammers on most occasions. That, coupled with his good record against the team, makes Salah a decent FPL captaincy option.

#1 Raheem Sterling (MCI) (MID) - £11.5 m (vs) SHU(H)

Raheem Sterling. Ha

Raheem Sterling produced a decent 11-point FPL haul for those managers who invested in him, with a goal and an assist in Gameweek 20. He also wore the captain's armband for the game, and that should reassure his FPL owners that he isn't likely to be benched.

While he hasn't thrived against the big oppositions, he has done admirably well against teams in the bottom half of the table. In fact, ten of his twelve attacking returns for the season have come from teams at the bottom of the table. Despite Sheffield United's resurgence, they're likely to be no match for an in-form City side, and Sterling's likely to get in on the FPL points in this game.
