Fantasy Premier League captain tips

Liverpool head to Fulham this weekend with Salah a prime pick for captaincy against a side that has conceded the second-most goals this season.
Harry Kane (TOT) vs Crystal Palace
Choosing between Kane and team-mate Heung-min Son can be a tricky decision, but the England international has performed slightly better of the two over the last five gameweeks.
Kane has scored three goals and provided two assists over that period, which are good returns for a captain.
He's on penalty duties which gives him another edge as Spurs head to Crystal Palace this week.
Jamie Vardy (LEI) vs Brighton
Vardy was back among the goals in GW11 after two games without scoring.
The Leicester striker has been a popular captaincy pick over the years and there is the potential for a huge haul this weekend.
The Foxes have been awarded more penalties than any other side this season, while Brighton have conceded the most.
This will be music to the ears of Vardy, who has converted five times from the spot this term.

The Blades are bottom of the table and are yet to win a game this season.
