<h2><strong>Best FPL captain for Gameweek 30: The candidates</strong></h2>
<p>Last week feels an age away, and both <strong>Ollie Watkins (£9.0m)</strong> and <strong>Son Heung-min (£10.1m)</strong> let us down.</p>
<p>This week we have some very strong candidates, but who should you trust with the armband?</p>
<p>These are the main candidates:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) </strong>v Brighton (H)</li>
<li><strong>Cole Palmer (£5.7m) </strong>v Burnley (H)</li>
<li><strong>Son Heung-min (£10.1m) </strong>v Luton (H)</li>
<li><strong>Alexander Isak (£7.5m) </strong>v West Ham (H)</li>
<li><strong>Ollie Watkins (£9.0m)</strong> v Wolves (H)</li>
</ul>
