Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.2m) is among the best alternatives to Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) for the captaincy in Gameweek 18 of Fantasy Premier League.
TV Info
Salah’s massive 73.6 per cent ownership means he will once again be the leading armband candidate as Liverpool visit Tottenham Hotspur.
However, Alexander-Arnold has outscored his Reds team-mate in six of their last seven matches.
The right-back has totalled 67 points from Gameweek 11 onwards, compared with the 56 points of Salah.
Yet he continues to be overlooked for the captaincy.
Whereas a record 5.13million gave Salah the armband in Gameweek 17, just 92,000 opted for Alexander-Arnold.
Manchester City’s trip to Newcastle United provides managers with a host of strong armband contenders.
Phil Foden (£8.0m) delivered 12 points in a 7-0 win over Leeds United in midweek, while Raheem Sterling (£10.6m) has three goals, an assist and 34 points in his last five outings.
Bernardo Silva (£7.7m) and Joao Cancelo (£6.8m) have been the most explosive on the road for Pep Guardiola’s side. Both have recorded three of their four double-figure hauls this season in away matches.
Chelsea duo to deliver again?
Chelsea pair Mason Mount (£7.6m) and Reece James (£6.3m) could also thrive at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Mount has scored in each of the last four Gameweeks, claiming 38 points. James has hauls of 21 and 12 points in his previous three on the road.
