With the top-scoring duo in Fantasy Premier League preparing to face a side lying in the bottom three, FPL expert David Munday believes there is little point in overthinking the captain decision in Gameweek 8.

While he likes the look of Chelsea’s fixture against Sheffield United, Munday says he isn't seriously considering anyone other than Tottenham Hotspur pair Harry Kane (£11.0m) and Son Heung-min (£9.6m) ahead of their trip to West Bromwich Albion.

“Everyone’s going to captain these guys,” predicts Munday in the latest FPL Show.  

“I think Kane’s going to be the more popular of the two, because I think he’s the better option anyway.

“Sometimes it’s easy to just have a look at your team and say, ‘Everybody’s going to captain him, I think he’ll do well as well.' Stick it on him and then go and think about other things.”

While Son has matched Kane’s total of 71 points so far this season, Munday’s fellow expert Holly Shand is also backing the forward, who scored a penalty against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.

“In terms of Fantasy points, he’s only blanked in Gameweek 1 so far this season," she says. "So please, Harry Kane, we need some more attacking returns in this game."

Don't get caught out. The Gameweek 8 deadline is at 16:00 GMT on Friday 6 November.
