Community XI: Best GW28 FPL captain?

The Gameweek deadline is near but there is still much community debate regarding the FPL captain. So here is some content to help you decide.

FPL captain

Even though time is running out to submit your Gameweek 28 teams, the FPL community is still split over captaincy. The eight teams to play twice provide a stream of decent options that don’t provide total confidence – names like Philippe Coutinho, Raphinha and Raul Jimenez – while the main FPL stars like Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane only place once.

With this in mind, here is a summary of the best FPL captain content that’s out there.

V – FPL Architect

This thread by FPL Architect looks at, in his opinion, the best few options for the GW28 armband.

GW 28 Captaincy

1) Antonio Rüdiger – ?6.1
Fixtures: BUR (A), NOR (H)

In a GW without a standout captain, Chelsea’s fixtures actually make Rudiger a great captaincy pick. Not great attacking threat but he has potential for bonus points and most importantly, clean sheets. pic.twitter.com/E0VtegKe0G
