As the whistle blows for Gameweek 6 of the Premier League, the excitement in the fantasy world is reaching its peak. Every team manager faces the crucial decision: who will be the captain? The right choice can give you a major leap in the rankings, while a small mistake could cost you dearly. At Fantasy 24 Club, we present the top captain candidates, along with a detailed analysis of their chances and tips to help you maximize your points.
Erling Haaland has proven he knows only one way: the back of the net. After five gameweeks, he has already racked up a full 50 points, remaining the standout name in attack. Gameweek 6 sees him face Burnley, an opponent that looks manageable, making the Norwegian a golden choice—not just as captain, but also as a tempting option for the Triple Captain chip to surge toward the top of the rankings.
The New Zealander knows exactly how to make his mark. In the first five gameweeks of the current season, he has already accumulated 25 points, proving he remains a reliable attacking option. Despite an ownership rate of just 22%, his upcoming match against Sunderland gives him an advantage that could boost his goal tally. Choosing Wood as your captain for Gameweek 6 could be a surprise that shakes up your rankings.
Mohamed Kadous has been one of West Ham’s standout stars this season, providing 4 assists in five matches and earning 25 Fantasy points. His biggest strength is being a regular starter, making him a golden choice for your Gameweek 6 squad. Facing a defensively weak Wolverhampton this season, Kadous could be a surprise captain pick, giving you extra points and a chance to leap ahead of your rivals.
Gameweek 6 offers multiple exciting captain options. Between the reliability of Haaland and Salah, the boldness of Siminio or Kadous, and even the surprise potential of Chris Wood… the choice is yours. Remember, the captain isn’t just about doubling points—it’s a strategy that could shape your season.
So, who will be your captain this week?
