Gameweek 15 is fast approaching, and selecting the right captain could make all the difference in climbing the ranks.
While many managers tend to rely on the same popular choices each week, this round offers
a mix of premium, mid-priced, and differential options—each with strong potential to deliver big returns.
Below are some of the best captaincy candidates to consider as you prepare for another decisive game week.
Bruno Fernandes (9.0m)
Manchester United may not be at their best, but dismissing Bruno would be a mistake. United travel to face Wolves, currently the poorest-performing team in the Premier League.
With set-piece duties and the ability to produce both attacking and defensive returns, Bruno stands out as a strong captaincy option.
His all-round involvement makes him a reliable pick for managers seeking consistency.
Phil Foden (8.3m)
Foden enters Gameweek 15 in excellent form as Manchester City host a resilient but defensively fragile Sunderland.
Despite their stubborn style, Sunderland have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches.
At the Etihad, Foden’s creativity, goal threat, and home form position him as an exciting captain pick with high upside.
Harvey Barnes (6.4m)
Barnes offers great value just under £6.5m and has a favorable fixture at home to Burnley.
The struggling Clarets have neither won nor kept a clean sheet in their last five outings, making Newcastle’s winger a prime candidate for attacking returns.
His pace, direct play, and eye for goal make him one of the top differential captain options this week.
Erling Haaland (15.0m)
No captaincy discussion is complete without Erling Haaland. Fresh off producing a goal and two assists in GW14, the Norwegian remains one of the most dependable options in all of FPL.
With Manchester City facing Sunderland—a team vulnerable against elite attackers—Haaland once again stands as a leading favorite for the captain’s armband.
His consistency and explosive potential make him a near-automatic choice.
Daniel Muñoz (6.1m)
Listed as a defender but often operating higher up the pitch, Muñoz continues to be an FPL goldmine. With two goal involvements, multiple clean sheets, and 29 points in his last three games, he cannot be ignored.
Facing a Fulham side that conceded five goals in GW14, Palace’s dynamic wing-back becomes a bold yet rewarding captaincy shout.
His dual potential for attacking and defensive returns gives managers a unique edge.
