The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts give their thoughts on who to captain in Gameweek 22 ahead of the deadline at 18:00 GMT on Tuesday 30 January.
What the experts say
Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily)
There will be a lot of different choices as there isn't a standout pick. Manchester City are the most logical place to look and even though Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) is at risk of not starting, he will come in and wear the armband. James Maddison (£7.8m) could be a great differential for the eight per cent of managers who still own him. He picked up two assists against Brentford in the reverse fixture in Gameweek 1.

I've enjoyed having captains against Burnley this season. I'll likely be captaining Phil Foden (£8.0m) as he's looked very dangerous in central positions.
Ben Crabtree (@FC_CrabDogg)
De Bruyne is very tempting but he's likely to only play an hour. The match could get away from Burnley and mean there's a number of goals after this, therefore I'm going for Foden.

I'm looking at De Bruyne as an option this week. Man City have the optimal fixture at home to Burnley and I can see him hauling against them, even if his minutes are managed.
Gianni Buttice (@GianniButtice)
Man City clearly have the highest upside and for that reason I will be captaining Foden, who is arguably playing the best football we have seen from him.

There is no perfect captain this week. All the Man City guys come with a slight minutes or positional risk. I am therefore leaning towards Richarlison (£7.0m). Playing up top, likely on penalties, at home. It feels like as good a choice as any.
Harry Daniels (@FPL_Harry)
Currently the armband is on Julian Alvarez (£7.0m). With it looking unlikely that Erling Haaland (£13.9m) will start against Burnley, I will favour the Argentinian instead.
