There’s some doubt regarding Rashford’s fitness at the moment, & if he looks likely to miss the first game of the DGW that would obviously rule him out as a captaincy option. However, a fully fit Rashford would be…
…a standout captaincy pick this week, for a number of reasons. He’s got 10 goals in 12 PL games since the restart and the DGW consists of 2 games that you would expect Man Utd to win. Fitness issues aside, Rashford is both a solid and reliable option and a high upside pick.
Watkins might look like the standout option in the striker category, & it’s easy to understand why. He’s got 6 goals in his last 7 games, takes penalties & starts close to every game. His fixture in GW 28...
…is great and he then moves on to a DGW with games against Chelsea & Leicester, both away, which isn’t the easiest double, but still a DGW. An added bonus with Watkins is that his fixtures after GW 29 are good, NFO (H) in GW 30 and then a guaranteed game vs Brentford in BGW 32.
