Two excellent fixtures for the highly-owned Patrick Bamford (£6.9m) make the Leeds United striker the obvious captain pick for his Double Gameweek 25.

That is according to Fantasy expert David Munday, who says the forward's 56.5 per cent ownership makes it a risk to look elsewhere.

"Everyone is going to go to him because he's popular anyway," says Munday on the latest FPL Show.

"They'll see he's playing twice, two nice fixtures. If you don't captain him and he delivers, you're in big trouble."

Fellow expert Gianni Buttice also can't see past Bamford, although for those on the lookout for a differential pick, he believes Danny Ings (£8.5m) is worth considering against Chelsea and Leeds.

"Ings seems to be one of those players that always turns up against strong opponents," he says. "You wouldn't put it past him to get returns in both."
