Hugo Ekitike (9.1M)
Hugo Ekitike (9.1M) continues to establish himself as one of the standout Fantasy assets this season. He has already racked up 90 fantasy points and scored nine goals for Liverpool, cementing his status as the second-most influential striker in the Premier League behind Erling Haaland.
In Gameweek 20, Liverpool face Fulham—a side known for its attacking threat but vulnerable at the back—giving Ekitike an excellent opportunity to return one or more goals. With his consistent form and proven ability to deliver attacking returns, backing him as your captain is a smart move if you’re aiming to maximize points this week.
Erling Haaland (15.1M)
Erling Haaland (15.1M) continues to dominate Fantasy Premier League this season, reaching 140 fantasy points after scoring 20 goals. He has firmly established himself as the most powerful attacking option in the game, leading the Premier League scoring charts thanks to his elite finishing inside the box and relentless goal-scoring rate. As a result, he remains a cornerstone of any competitive FPL squad.
In Gameweek 20, Manchester City take on Chelsea, a side going through a period of tactical instability following the departure of manager Enzo Maresca. This fixture presents an ideal opportunity for Haaland to add to his goal tally and deliver another haul. With his consistency and explosive attacking potential, Haaland stands out as the standout captain pick this week and a reliable source of fantasy points.
Watkins (8.5M)
Believe me, I was ready to drop Watkins as a captain pick before the last few Gameweeks. But after scoring in his last three matches and with Aston Villa set to face Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 20, he earns a strong recommendation for your squad. Riding a rich vein of form, Watkins has already amassed 72 fantasy points this season. Picking him as captain—especially with an ownership rate under 10%—could give your team a significant boost!
Alexander Volltmade (7.4M)
Alexander Volltmade (7.4M) continues to shine for Newcastle this season, having accumulated 72 fantasy points and scored seven goals, solidifying his role as a key attacking contributor. With an ownership rate below 20%, Volltmade represents an excellent differential pick for managers seeking high-point potential with a calculated risk.
In Gameweek 20, Newcastle face Crystal Palace—a fixture that gives him a good chance to add more goals and boost his points tally. His consistent form and ability to make a decisive impact make him an appealing option for captaincy or to strengthen your attacking lineup.
