Three of the five top-scoring players in 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League offer managers strong captaincy picks for Gameweek 30.

Erling Haaland (£12.0m) was sold by over 1.8million managers in the previous two Gameweeks, but has been declared fit and ready for Manchester City’s visit to Southampton.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford (£7.3m) and Tottenham Hotspur forward Harry Kane (£11.7m) are both at home, facing Everton and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively.
Last four matches
| Player | Points | Shots in box | Big chances | Goals |
| Kane | 28 | 11 | 4 | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Haaland | 22 | 11 | 6 | 2 |
| Rashford | 17 | 5 | 4 | 1 |
Kane has been the most prolific of the trio recently, scoring four goals in his last four matches and collecting 28 points.
Although Haaland has netted only twice, he has been supplied with six big chances, more than the four of both his armband rivals.
Rashford’s lowly five shots in the box can be partly explained by the Red Devils’ schedule, with matches at Liverpool and Newcastle United in his last four.
Form since GW17
| Player | Points | Goals | Assists | Blanks | Points per start |
| Rashford | 106 | 11 | 2 | 4 | 7.8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kane | 87 | 10 | 3 | 4 | 6.2 |
| Haaland | 80 | 10 | 3 | 4 | 6.2 |
Rashford, nonetheless, has been the top-scoring player in Fantasy since the season resumed, with 106 points.
He has blanked in just four of his 13 starts, averaging 7.8 points per match in those encounters.
Notably, all five of his double-figure scores in this period were recorded over his eight matches at Old Trafford.
Haaland and Kane are identical for a number of statistics from Gameweek 17 onwards.
Each has 10 goals, three assists and four blanks, averaging 6.2 points per start (pps).
Home/away form 2022/23
| Player | H/A | Points per start | Double-figures | Blanks |
| Rashford | H | 9.3 | 7 | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kane | H | 7.1 | 3 | 3 |
| Haaland | A | 6.1 | 3 | 5 |
Rashford’s displays at Old Trafford lend more weight to his appeal as the best captain pick.
His 10-point return in the 1-0 win over Brentford on Wednesday was his seventh double-figure haul at home in 2022/23 Fantasy.
At home, he has averaged a hefty 9.3 pps and has amassed 122 points, just two fewer than Haaland.
Although Kane has blanked in just three of his 14 home outings, his 7.1 pps in those matches trails some way behind Rashford.
Haaland, meanwhile, averages 6.1 pps away from home and has managed only three double-figure hauls on his travels.
While all three seem well-placed to deliver more attacking returns this weekend, Rashford’s post-FIFA World Cup 2022 form, combined with his home output, gives him the edge.
