The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts reveal who they are planning to captain in Gameweek 30 (GW30) ahead of the deadline at 18:15 GMT on Tuesday 1 April.

How brave do you feel this week FPL managers? Do you stick with the tired and tested option of Mohamed Salah (£13.7m)? Or target those clubs facing relegation, particularly Manchester City's Omar Marmoush (£7.4m) playing Leicester, AFC Bournemouth players against Ipswich or Palace's main man Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.6m) against lowly Southampton.

Personally, I'm thinking of playing it safe with Salah, but both Mateta and Marmoush are very tempting!

With Erling Haaland (£14.8m) likely out, I will probably be rolling the dice on Marmoush who plays a Leicester team that has been a fruitful team to target. I do still own Cole Palmer (£10.8m) and Salah both of whom are in my consideration.

With Haaland possibly unavailable, Marmoush should be nailed to start in the centre-forward role for Man City and take penalties as well. Everton have tightened up under Moyes and I think it's a good week to back Salah. I will likely be going with the Egyptian instead of the midfielder.

It's between Salah and Marmoush for me. Leicester are so incredibly poor at the moment I think this is a good opportunity to back the lesser-owned Egyptian.

Someone from Man City is a definite, given Leicester at home is their next fixture. Haaland was number one choice but if injured, Marmoush will probably get the armband.

This week it feels like their is a range of good captaincy options. Salah remains a potential perma-captain, however this could be the week of the differential captain with Mateta and Marmoush great options ahead of matches against Southampton and Leicester respectively.

I am tempted to go for the Palace forward who was in fantastic form prior to his injury. Managers who are Wildcarding could also go for Bukayo Saka (£10.2m) who has just been ruled fit to start against Fulham.

I'm bringing in Marmoush to captain him. The No 9 at home to Leicester is too good an opportunity to pass up.
