The Scout's panel of experts give their verdicts on who managers should captain ahead of the Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 12 deadline of 11:00 GMT on Saturday 20 November.

For weeks my armband has been with Mohamed Salah (£13.0m). However, the Arsenal resurgence, combined with Liverpool's potential injury problems and nice fixtures for other teams, mean I am tempted to captain Harry Kane (£12.2m) at home to Leeds United on the back of his seven goals for England over the international break.

Liverpool against Arsenal usually promises goals and Salah is once again a great pick. Kane against Leeds is also a standout option in Antonio Conte's first home league match as Tottenham Hotspur head coach.

It's getting difficult to look past Salah each week, although Liverpool do have a number of possible key injuries coming out of the international break. Allied with Arsenal's uptick in form, perhaps this is a good week to try Kane at home to Leeds or Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m) against Watford. It's a brave FPL manager who bets against the “Egyptian King”, though!

Home match for Salah. I still haven't seen anything from the field to go elsewhere just yet.

I think I'll buy and captain Kane. I reckon Conte's first home league match could see Spurs score a few goals.

Paul Gee (@FPLPaulGee)

The safe bet is Salah, but if you want to make up some ground maybe go for Son Heung-min (£10.3m) or Kane.

It's a tough week for captaincy this time around, as the form players have tough fixtures. However, I'm still going to back form over fixtures and go with Salah.

Tom Cantle (@WGTA_FPL)

If the form was there, I'd be tempted by captaining Kane but it's simply not, currently. Therefore, Salah keeps my armband despite him playing my club Arsenal. It'll be a match I'll watch with mixed feelings, that's for sure!
