Capoue has surprisingly emerged as the player with most FPL points this season

Midfielders

Nacer Chadli and Etienne Capoue have emerged as the most popular choice since their exploits for their respective teams in recent weeks. Capoue has the most points this FPL and will look to continue his rich vein of form against Burnley. Kevin de Bruyne is another player who is essential to have in mind with the player running riots in midfield and though he is priced at £10.8 million, the Belgian can be an able replacement for Eden Hazard who has tough fixtures for the Blues.

A duo of Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are another obvious choices. Nathan Redmond along with Robert Snodgrass are some of the smart choices that the managers can make at a lower price.

Sergio Aguero returns from suspension and is the obvious captain choice against Swansea

Diego Costa is the top scorer and can be a handful against Arsenal. Sergio Aguero returns after his suspension and may replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic in many teams around the world. Vincent Janssen is about to start for Spurs in Kane's absence and might be an inspired choice. The impact of Alvaro Negredo is fading and Troy Deeney should be taking his place in your time after the Watford captain scored two goals in his last two games.

Captain

Sergio Aguero is an obvious choice after his return as City face Swansea in what is expected to be a routine victory for Pep Guardiola. Roberto Firmino will be up against Hull defence and might pose many problems for the newcomers. Riyadh Mahrez is another shrewd choice as the Algerian will be up against Marcos Rojo as Luke Shaw is out with an injury.
