Ilkay Gundogan is the go-to captain for Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 21 as he heads into a home match against bottom-club Sheffield United in the best goalscoring form of his career.

The Manchester City midfielder has scored seven goals in the last eight Gameweeks and is the most transferred-in player ahead of Saturday's 11:00 GMT deadline.

"Forget the price point," says Gianni Buttice in the latest FPL Show. "We often don't like captaining players that are sub-£6.0m.

"If he was £10.0m, and he's performing like a £10.0m player at the moment and he's on penalties, then you would go for Gundogan without even thinking about it.

"I'm looking at the fixture, I'm looking at the form, and all things point towards Gundogan."

Fellow Fantasy expert Lee Bonfield, meanwhile, says he also favours Gundogan after an injury to Harry Kane (£11.3m).

"I currently have it on Son, but the news with Kane changes my opinion," he adds.

"Kane is so important with the link-up he has with Son, so that puts me off Son captaincy."
