In Gameweek 5 of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL), some managers opted for unconventional captain choices, reaping rewards as Mohamed Salah outscored Erling Haaland with ten points in an away match against Wolves.

As we approach Gameweek 6, let’s explore the top captain selections utilizing AI predictions.

Erling Haaland vs. Nottingham Forest (H) – 7.5 Predicted Points

Erling Haaland holds a significant advantage in AI-predicted points for his upcoming home game against Nottingham Forest. He currently leads the FPL scoring charts this season, boasting three goals in home matches, including a remarkable 20-point haul in his last appearance at the Etihad.

In his previous match against West Ham, Haaland demonstrated his goal-scoring prowess, despite only netting one goal. He had nine shots on goal, including six significant goal-scoring opportunities. Haaland consistently completes full 90-minute fixtures and is the designated spot-kick taker, leaving little doubt about his captaincy credentials.

Mohamed Salah vs. West Ham (H) – 7.0 Predicted Points

Mohamed Salah is undoubtedly a strong contender for captaincy, given his exceptional consistency this season. He stands alongside only one other player in delivering attacking returns in every gameweek thus far. Additionally, Salah is believed to retain penalty-taking duties.

Facing West Ham at Anfield, Salah has an impressive track record, having scored in both of his home games this season. Moreover, he boasts nine goals and three assists in 12 Premier League encounters against the Irons. Salah leads the league in both big chances created (six) and assists (four), solidifying his appeal as a captaincy option.

Bryan Mbeumo vs. Everton (H) – 5.4 Predicted Points

For those seeking a differential captain pick, Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford presents an enticing choice. Playing at home against Everton, Mbeumo benefits from his involvement in set pieces, which has contributed to his four goals this season, including two from the penalty spot.

Mbeumo’s underlying statistics are also encouraging, ranking third among players with six significant goal-scoring opportunities. He consistently completes full 90-minute matches. Everton’s defense has yet to secure a clean sheet, having conceded nine goals across the opening five gameweeks, further enhancing Mbeumo’s captaincy potential.
