For a lot of Fantasy Premier League managers, giving the captain's armband to a striker is their preferred way of try to rack up the points on any given Gameweek.

But for the 2017/18 FPL champion, Yusuf Sheikh, putting trust in the players further back from early into the campaign helped him to claim the title.

"Captaining midfielders was something I learnt this season," Yusuf revealed on the final FPL Show of the season.

"Midfielders get one more point for scoring a goal and an extra point for clean sheets. I captained them after Gameweek 14 and I think that really worked."
