A change in role for Manchester City makes Kevin De Bruyne (£10.4m) a standout choice for the captaincy in Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 19. 

FPL expert Lee Bonfield says the game's top-scoring midfielder is playing further advanced and backs him to score big despite a tough fixture.

"He's just the form pick, isn't he?" Bonfield says on the latest episode of the FPL Show. "He seems to have had a change of position in the last few Gameweeks.

"Every time I see this guy he's probably the best, if not one of the best in the Premier League right now."

De Bruyne was the third most-popular captain at the weekend but disappointed 710,000 managers as he scored only four points against Leicester City.

But Bonfield says the Belgian deserved more and that we should not forget his explosive double-digit potential.

"[He got] four points but he probably should have had more," adds Bonfield.

"He's capable of 15+ points on his day. Wolves away is a tricky game but he's the form pick for sure."
