The Scout's panel of experts give their verdicts on which players managers should captain ahead of the Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 33 deadline of 11:00 BST on Saturday 16 April.

Geoff Dance (@GeoffreyDance)

James Maddison (£7.0m) has two goals and two assists in the last five games he's played in, and despite being the most transferred-in player in the Gameweek, he still has only 15 per cent ownership. Leicester City have a strong Double Gameweek 33 against Newcastle United and Everton.

The greatest goalscorer of all time up against Norwich City, one of the leakiest teams in the division, I'll have some of that. Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.2m) is who I'd prefer.

Tom Cantle (@WGTA_FPL)

I'll probably be leaving my armband on Harry Kane (£12.6m) given the lack of a standout captaincy option from the DGW teams.

Lee Bonfield (@FPLFamily)

I'm expecting a high-variance Gameweek with lots of captaincy options in the mix. I can't remember too many occasions where I've captained a single Gameweek player in a DGW but this may be one of them. I'm backing Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) to come good on his underlying statistics, put Manchester United to the sword and keep Liverpool's title hopes alive.

Leicester players are not an option after their European exertions so out of the Double Gameweek players I like Chris Wood (£6.7m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m), who are nailed-on to play both games. From the single Gameweek options, Kane and Salah are also good picks.

Ben Crabtree (@FC_CrabDogg)

Going Son Heung-min (£11.1m) as captain again is tempting but I'll go for Fernandes, with the best fixture and a bonus one.

Paul Gee (@FPLPaulGee)

Maddison is a good option. There are doubts over his minutes but I think he starts both games.

Holly Shand (@HollyShand)

I'll be ignoring the Double Gameweek assets once again and going with a Spurs attacker. It's on Kane at the moment, but there's a good chance I'll bring in Son and captain him instead.

Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily)

I'm torn. If I owned Maddison I would captain him. As a non-owner I'll likely stick with a form team and captain Kane.
