Are you undecided about who to captain this week or interested in what some FPL content creators have to say about GW 4 captaincy? See the picks from the captaincy panel.
@FPLNima will keep scores and when the season ends, we’ll see who got the best captaincy recommendation score in the panel. This week, we’re guested by @FPLGOAT7
Many will go with Ronaldo but I feel Lukaku will run riot against a Villa side that may be without Martinez. This Chelsea team will feed the big Belgian and he’ll gladly convert.
Am I letting the emotional side of my brain outweigh the logical? I don't know; but I do think Ronaldo starts in what should hopefully be a comfortable home win.
I really can't recommend anyone else this week. When picking my captain, I’m looking for someone with a very high ceiling - Ronaldo has exactly that. It largely depends whether Ole confirms anything in the presser so wait for that before deciding
Captaincy this GW is pretty straightforward for me Cristiano Ronaldo at old Trafford, Not just because of the hype but also him being a legendary goalscorer wherever whichever league he has played in against one of the worst defences in the league.
Summary:
Ronaldo x7
Lukaku x2
Fernandes x1
Salah x1
This was all from the panel for this week, we hope you found it interesting. We will be back with a new thread next week covering GW 5 captaincy.

Liverpool go up against Norwich in GW 1, which is a very clear fixture to target. This should end with a big win for Liverpool which makes Salah, Mané, Trent and possibly even Tsimikas being great FPL picks.
GW 1 Player recommendation:
Riyad Mahrez is always a superb FPL option when he plays, the issue is of course Pep’s tendency to rotate the winger. However, with multiple injuries in the squad and players that haven’t got a full pre season, Mahrez could see a lot more...
The world number 1, Michael Coone, has had an amazing season and overtook the lead this week, but if we dig deeper into it, how has he played this season to get where he is?
Michael Coone started the season very well with a GW 1 rank of 43k, which is actually the lowest OR he has had this entire season. He kept up the green arrows and after an outstanding GW 6 he jumped from 18k to 2k and since then he hasn’t left top 3k once.
His next big jump came in GW 11 when he got from 2.3k to OR 618 which indicated in which direction his season was going. He then played his first WC in GW 15 setting him up for a 136 points Bench Boost in GW 19, taking him to OR 21st.
