Always Mo
Many managers who have a strong overall rank have come up with a strategy of their own: give Mo Salah the armband every week!

However, in the Fantasy YIRMA preview, Fantaay Gaffer suggests that we look elsewhere.

FPL Viper has dug deeper into his captaincy selections for the season. More faith in Salah would have meant a drastic increase in points.
I just did some #FPL digging on my season and as expected, captaining Kane over Salah has been a huge deal breaker for me:
Kane (Captained 11 times – 130 points at an average of 11.8 PPW)
Salah (Captained 3 times – 62 points at an average of 20.7 PPW)Damning Evidence.
