Despite not playing for one of the four clubs with two Double Gameweek 24 matches, Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m) is still the leading Fantasy Premier League captain pick.

That is according to Fantasy expert Az Phillips, who says Manchester United's trip to West Bromwich Albion is an enticing one for FPL's highest points scorer.

"Pogba is out, which means Fernandes plays further forward," he says on the latest FPL Show. "I'd be very, very surprised if Fernandes didn't get a big haul. It's between [Ilkay] Gundogan and Fernandes. I'm leaning towards Fernandes."

But fellow expert Sam Bonfield instead favours Manchester City midfielder Gundogan (£6.0m).

"His form is really good," she says. "I prefer to captain a midfielder than I would a defender. It'll probably be Gundogan."

Remember, the Gameweek 24 deadline is at 11:00 GMT on Saturday 13 February.
