Sometimes it’s a blank and all is lost. One rule I have always stuck by in who I shall pick is FORM. No matter how hard a fixture is, if that player is in form you should pick them. A few times last season Mo Salah was on a bit of a dip with 1 goal in 8. In most of them game weeks he still was the most captained player and a lot of managers were plummeting in ranks.

For example a player in fine form right now is Raheem Sterling. Has had a stellar season too and will be playing up top with Jesus and Aguero not being fit for the season. You can’t necessary base form for the start of the season but if Sterling scores 3 goals in his first 4 and comes up against Chelsea for example. I would still bank on him scoring. No player is better than an in form FPL heavyweight in my opinion

He will be leading the line for Manchester City at the start of the season with both Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero having a break at the start of the season after coming back from the Copa America.

This would definitely mean that Raheem Sterling is definitely a captain option at the start of the season. His price may create quite a few questions when it comes to if you are to consider picking him for your FPL side at the start of the season.

Last season, Raheem Sterling scored 234 points for Fantasy managers. He scored 17 goals and 15 assists leading to 25 bonus points for Fantasy managers that owned him throughout the season.
