The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts give their thoughts on who to captain in Gameweek 36 ahead of the deadline at 18:30 BST on Friday 3 May.

Manchester City at home are a force to be reckoned with and all three of Phil Foden (£8.4m), Kevin De Bruyne (£10.5m) and Erling Haaland (£14.1m) are excellent options. If I was chasing rank, Alexander Isak (£8.3m) away to Burnley could be fun - he's in red hot form and Newcastle United are scoring goals galore. It should be noted however that Newcastle have struggled on the road of late.

Haaland and Foden look like good options against Wolverhampton Wanderers at home. I particularly like Cole Palmer's (£6.2m) fixture at home to West Ham United, but having watched the Chelsea midfielder's performance against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, I'm leaning slightly more in favour of backing a Man City player.

Haaland should have a full week of training under his belt when Man City take on Wolves this weekend. City might be looking to increase their goal difference, so he's the standout captain option this week.

I expect Haaland to start against Wolves and he'll be determined to get ahead in the Castrol Golden Boot race. At least one goal seems likely.

I am chasing rank, after his assist in midweek, Palmer could be the one I back over Haaland. I own three players from Man City's attack, which should protect my rank if they perform well against Wolves.

I have been considering keeping the captaincy on Palmer, but I may be tempted to switch the armband to Haaland, who will likely be the most popular captain pick this week.

With Haaland back in the squad and scoring from the bench last week against Nottingham Forest, I cannot look past him at home to Wolves. Palmer at home to West Ham could be an interesting differential, but a short turnaround from Thursday to Sunday could cause some fatigue.

Haaland is an option this week now that he has returned from injury, although after missing Gameweek 35 through illness, there is a chance that Foden is the better pick. Despite starting only three of the last six Gameweeks, Foden is the third-highest goalscoring midfielder over that period, with five goals. I also like the idea of Palmer at home to West Ham, who have conceded 15 goals since Gameweek 30 and have failed to keep a clean sheet in that spell.
