<h2><strong>Best FPL captain for Gameweek 27: The candidates</strong></h2>
<p>Last week our selection of <strong>Bukayo Saka (£9.2m)</strong> provided a nice boost against the popular pick. This week it’s very close, and the wrong decision could be costly. Who should you back?</p>
<p>These are the main candidates:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ollie Watkins (£8.8m) </strong>v Luton (A)</li>
<li><strong>Erling Haaland (£14.4m)</strong> v Manchester United (H)</li>
<li><strong>Bukayo Saka (£9.2m)</strong> v Sheffield United (A)</li>
<li><strong>Son Heung-min (£9.6m)</strong> v Crystal Palace (H)</li>
<li><strong>Dominic Solanke (£7.1m)</strong> v Burnley (A)</li>
</ul>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL captain for Gameweek 27: Players' records</h2>
<p><strong>Haaland - </strong>loves playing against United. He bagged five returns in his last home game against them, and three in the reverse fixture.</p>
<p><strong>Saka - </strong>picked up an assist in the reverse fixture, but was relatively quiet.</p>
<p><strong>Son - </strong>has only blanked once in the last six against Crystal Palace, although it was at home.</p>
<p><strong>Watkins - </strong>blanked the reverse fixture, but his xGI was 1.40 which suggests he was unlucky.</p>
<p><strong>Solanke - </strong>blanked in the reverse fixture, and his stats weren't great either, but Bournemouth did not start the season well.</p>
