The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts give their thoughts on who to captain in Gameweek 14 ahead of the deadline at 18:00 GMT on Tuesday 3 December.

With double-digit hauls in five of his last six away matches, I'm struggling to find a good reason to go against Mohamed Salah (£13.2m). Cole Palmer (£11.0m) has a great fixture against an error-prone Southampton, so it'll be one of those two, with Salah currently in pole position.

Brentford's defence is one to target, which makes Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) very tempting. But form suggests Palmer is a safe pick against a Southampton team who play some risky football at the back.

I'll be playing the fixture this Gameweek and backing Chelsea's Palmer against a struggling Southampton. The defensive absentees are mounting up for Saints, with Taylor Harwood-Bellis (£4.1m) suspended for this match, while Chelsea and Palmer are coming into this one in a good run of form!
Nick Harris (@WGTA_Nick)
I'll be keeping the armband on Palmer. Southampton are rooted to the bottom of the table and Chelsea are in good form so I am expecting Palmer to return in this game.

Gameweek 13 was a close call between Salah and Palmer, and Gameweek 14 is no different. I went with Palmer last time out and as things stand, I'm more likely to back the Englishman again knowing it's the best fixture match-up. Newcastle United's defensive performances of late are a cause for concern however, so it's a close call and I'm also expecting Salah to have some joy at St James' Park.

Palmer is the standout option if you have him in your team, especially as he faces a Southampton side who have conceded the third-most goals in the league and will be without Flynn Downes (£4.8m), Tyler Dibling (£4.5m) and Harwood-Bellis. Both Nicolas Jackson (£8.1m) and Enzo Fernandez (£4.8m) are great differential picks from Chelsea too, but don't rule out Salah, who now has the same amount of double-digit hauls already as he got in the whole of last season.

The armband for me is between Salah and Palmer. I do have Jackson in my team currently so I favour Salah, given I have a double-up on the Chelsea attack but only one Liverpool attacker and both are very even.
Mark McGettigan (@FPLGeneral)
It's an easy decision this week with Palmer playing Southampton. Saints have the worst Expected Goals Conceded (xGC) number in the league this season, with 27.84.
Az Phillips (@FPLBlackBox_Az)
Quite an easy decision if you own Palmer. He plays the team bottom of the league and with key personnel in Aaron Ramsdale (£4.4m), Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek (£4.0m), Downes and Dibling all missing through injury or suspension.
