Fantasy Premier League's Gameweek 15 is fast approaching - but who should you choose as captain? Mohamed Salah, Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne are among the leading candidates.
Fantasy Premier League: How reclassifications will affect points
The highest points in FPL last week came from Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay, who bagged two goals and an assist in the 6-2 win against Leeds. Some of the big-hitters were also in fine form, including McTominay's team-mate Bruno Fernandes and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah. There are plenty more eye-catching fixtures coming up in Gameweek 15, with several players to consider for the captaincy.
Here, Express Sport takes a look the top captain picks and differential options ahead GW15's 11am GMT deadline on Saturday (December 26).
Fantasy Premier League captain tips
Mohamed Salah (LIV) vs West Brom
FPL managers who captained Salah in GW14 were given a scare when he was named on the bench against Palace.
With Liverpool dominating the game, Jurgen Klopp was well within his rights to give the Egyptian a full rest.

But he was introduced in the second half and went on to deliver two goals and an assist, much to the relief of those who gave him the armband.
He is likely to back in the starting line-up against West Brom, but managers can also comfort in the fact that Salah could still return big points coming off the bench.
Bruno Fernandes (MUN) vs Leicester
Fernandes is proving to be a popular captaincy this season.
He was back to his best against Leeds at the weekend, scoring twice and registering an assist.
Much of his good form this term has also come away from home, with a trip to Leicester coming up.
Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) vs Newcastle
After two successive blanks, De Bruyne responded with an assist against Southampton.
He now has seven for the season, plus two goals.
City have been strong at home in recent weeks and De Bruyne could be the creative spark once again when Newcastle visit the Etihad Stadium.

Fantasy Premier League captain differentials
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (EVE) vs Sheffield Utd
Calvert-Lewin mightn't seem like much of differential given that he has scored 11 goals this season.
But it's easy to overlook him when the likes of Salah and Fernandes are in such brilliant form.
But the Everton star has the potential to return big points against Sheffield United, who are yet to win this season and have conceded 25 goals.
Patrick Bamford (LEE) vs Burnley
Bamford may have blanked against United but he still had a few clear-cut chances that on another day he could have easily converted.
Leeds remain among the top-scoring teams in the league, with Bamford scoring nine this season already.
He could very well extend that tally against Burnley if the chances keep coming.
