Bruno Fernandes, Joao Pedro and Hugo Ekitike look like the standout captain options for Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 30, with all three offering stronger recent form and better fixtures than Erling Haaland.
Joao Pedro has been the most explosive of the trio, returning in seven of the last eight Gameweeks and posting the best underlying numbers. He has recorded 14 big chances and 25 shots in the box during that run, making him one of the most dangerous attackers in the game right now.
Bruno Fernandes brings the safest all-round captain profile. Manchester United’s playmaker has been in strong form and continues to deliver both goals and assists. His home record is especially impressive, with seven double-digit hauls at Old Trafford this season.
Hugo Ekitike is another excellent option. Liverpool’s home match against Tottenham is one of the most attractive attacking fixtures of the Gameweek, and Spurs have recently given up plenty of goals and big chances. That gives Ekitike real upside, although he is slightly less reliable than Fernandes or Joao Pedro.
