Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is an online game where players from around the world build a team consisting of 15 players. You get to field a team of 11 players each week and choose a captain. You can make transfers every week to bring in new players who seem to be in form. Your players give you points depending on their performance in the game and how crucial they were in helping their team get the result. This article talks about the captaincy picks and the best differential transfers you can do this week to finish at the top.
Mohamed Salah, like almost every other week, is the top captain pick in Gameweek 28 of the Fantasy Premier League. He has been having an absolutely ridiculous season and has managed to score 25 goals and provide 17 assists in 28 Premier League games this season. Liverpool faces Southampton in Gameweek 28, the team sitting at the bottom of the table. It will not be surprising if Salah ends up hauling against Southampton this weekend.

Erling Haaland was in incredible form last season, and while he has been unable to replicate this form, he is starting to look more like his former self. He scored seven goals and provided two assists in his last nine games and hopes to continue his form when he faces Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 28. This makes him one of the top captain picks this weekend, and he can be a very good option to serve as an alternative captain pick for Mohamed Salah.

Alexander Isak was absent from Newcastle United’s game against Liverpool, and while his incredible form has now been reduced and somewhat inconsistent, he is still one of the most in-form strikers in the league. Alexander Isak will go up against West Ham United in Gameweek 28 of the Fantasy Premier League. Newcastle United have not been in the best of forms recently and have lost three of their last four Premier League games. They will hope to make a comeback and gain back some form with a win against Newcastle United, a game for which Alexander Isak will be a very crucial player.
Cole Palmer seems to be struggling in the Premier League this season and has only managed to provide one assist in his last six games. Managers have now started getting frustrated and selling the Chelsea star, which makes this a good opportunity to use Palmer as a differential captain. The English forward faces Leicester City in Gameweek 28 of the Fantasy Premier League, and this can end up being the perfect opportunity for Palmer to get both his and his team’s seasons back on track.

Bryan Mbeumo scored one goal and provided two assists in his last two games. He can end up being an incredible pick for Gameweek 28 of the Fantasy Premier League. Mbeumo faces Aston Villa over the weekend, and while they have shown incredible attacking prowess, they seem to have certain holes in their defence. Mbeumo has been in very good form and can end up taking advantage of these gaps in their defence. This makes Bryan Mbeumo a very good differential captain pick for this weekend.

Ismaila Sarr scored two goals against Aston Villa in the last Gameweek, and he may now become an even more important player for Crystal Palace. Their star striker, Jean-Philippe Mateta, was seriously injured in their FA Cup tie and will miss the game against Ipswich Town in Gameweek 28 of the Fantasy Premier League. Palace will look towards Sarr in Mateta’s absence, and he can end up being their star player. Ismaila Sarr is owned by just 2.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers, and he can end up being an incredible addition to your team this weekend.

Pedro Neto scored one goal and provided two assists in his last two games for Chelsea. He has picked up form for the club and is starting to show why Chelsea decided to sign the talented winger. While the Portuguese star has been quite impressive recently, he is still owned by just 2.1% of Fantasy Premier League managers. This makes him an incredible differential pick for your team. Chelsea faces Leicester City in Gameweek 28, and it will not be surprising if Pedro Neto ends up hauling against them.
Beto is another Premier League star who has been in incredible form recently. Ever since David Moyes took over as the manager of Everton, they have shown incredible development, especially Beto. Beto has scored five goals in his last five games and hopes to continue this form when he faces Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 28 of the Fantasy Premier League. He is owned by just 6.3% of FPL managers, and given his recent form, this makes him an incredible differential pick to have in your team for the weekend.

Marcus Rashford has been shining for Aston Villa ever since he joined them on loan from Manchester United. The English star is looking like his former self and has been eccentric for Villa on the wing. He has provided three assists for Villa already despite not being a regular starter for them. Rashford has probably gained enough credit to start for the club now, and it will be very interesting to see what he can do if he gets to play for the full 90 minutes. Villa plays Brentford in Gameweek 28 of the Fantasy Premier League, and given that Rashford is owned by just 5.8% of FPL managers, he can end up being an incredible differential pick.

Joao Pedro scored two goals and provided one assist in his last two games. He seems to be in very good form for Brighton right now. Pedro faces Fulham in Gameweek 28 of the Fantasy Premier League, and he hopes to continue his current form and score or assist against them. Joao Pedro is owned by just 12.4% of Fantasy Premier League players, which makes him a very interesting pick to have in your team this weekend.
