The unstoppable form and huge ownership of Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) in Fantasy Premier League means he will again be the most-selected captain for Gameweek 10.

Found in 69.5 per cent of squads, Liverpool’s Egyptian has averaged 11.9 points per match ahead of a home encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion.

There are, however, a number of in-form alternatives for those willing to overlook Salah.

Explosive Son

Son Heung-min (£10.2m) has recorded double-figure scores in three of his four home matches this season.

The Tottenham Hotspur star returned 25 points across his two meetings with Gameweek 10 opponents Manchester United last term.

Manchester City midfield duo Phil Foden (£8.2m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m) can also deliver hefty hauls at home to Crystal Palace.

Foden has thrived in an advanced central role, producing three goals, two assists and 34 points in the last four Gameweeks.

De Bruyne, meanwhile, has delivered double-figure hauls in each of his last three home starts.

Jamie Vardy (£10.8m) and Michail Antonio (£8.2m) are the joint highest-scoring forwards on 57 points apiece.

Leicester City’s Vardy has scored five of his seven goals for the season in the last five Gameweeks.

He has blanked only once in four home appearances ahead of a meeting with Arsenal at King Power Stadium. 

West Ham United's Antonio visits an Aston Villa side who have conceded three goals in back-to-back Gameweeks.

Antonio has three double-figure hauls in 2021/22, blanking in only three of his eight appearances.

Back in-form Chelsea options?

Chelsea’s trip to Newcastle United also offers the chance for explosive hauls.

Five Blues players produced double-figure scores in Gameweek 9 against Norwich City, with Mason Mount (£7.5m) recording a career-high 24 points.

Wing-back Ben Chilwell (£5.9m) is another form pick, with three goals, two clean sheets and 35 points in the last three Gameweeks.
