Who to captain in GW38? What the experts say

The prospect of Leeds United midfielder Raphinha (£5.5m) playing in front of fans at Elland Road for the first time against relegated West Bromwich Albion makes the Brazilian a tempting captaincy choice in Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 38.

That is the view of Fantasy expert Az Phillips, who says on the latest FPL Show: "I like the idea of Raphinha hitting his big haul this week, so I'm leaning towards him."

"I can see four goals for Leeds in this match. In front of the crowd. West Brom. [Sam] Allardyce leaving. I can't see anything other than a big Leeds win."

Fellow expert David Munday is also considering captaining a Leeds player, including Raphinha, although Liverpool star Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) is also a strong contender.

"Salah is who I instantly put the captaincy on when my team reloaded for the new Gameweek but the more I think about it, the more the Leeds assets are staring at me," Munday explains.

"A lot of people will go Salah. He's the safe pick. I just think there's great explosive potential [with the Leeds players], but it will go down to the wire."

Remember, the Gameweek 38 deadline is 14:30 BST on Sunday 23 May.
