<h2><strong>Best FPL captain for Gameweek 30: The candidates</strong></h2>
<p>Last week, <strong>Erling Haaland </strong>topped the metrics and delivered some points, though it wasn't quite the haul we were hoping for.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, our punt option <strong>Bruno Fernandes</strong> really came up with the goods.</p>
<p>These are the main candidates this week:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Alexander Isak</strong> v Brentford (H)</li>
<li><strong>Jean-Philippe Mateta</strong> v Southampton (A)</li>
<li><strong>Mohamed Salah</strong> v Everton (H)</li>
<li><strong>Erling Haaland</strong> v Leicester (H) - subject to fitness</li>
<li><strong>Justin Kluivert</strong> v Ipswich (H)</li>
</ul>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL captain for Gameweek 30: The reverse fixtures</h2>
<p>The majority of these fixtures took place in Gameweek 15 and 19.</p>
<p><strong>Cole Palmer</strong> has trolled us for three weeks in a row now but he did have a lot of success against Spurs last time around.</p>
<p><strong>Jarrod Bowen</strong> and <strong>Bryan Mbeumo</strong> also had a good week in their reverse fixtures.</p>
<p><strong>Savinho</strong> hauled against Leicester but who will get the points this time?</p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL captain for Gameweek 30: Poll</h2>
<p>Haaland edges it but it highlights the likely ownership of both is divided - many will stick with Salah.</p>
<p>Since this poll was created, the Norwegian went off injured in the FA Cup against Bournemouth. Expect Salah's actual captaincy share to soar now.</p>
