Mohamed Salah has scored 18 goals and provided 13 assists in the Premier League this season already. He has blanked in just four weeks this season, with two of them being against Nottingham Forest and Brentford in the last two weeks. However, it is likely that he will bounce back brilliantly when he faces Ipswich Town this weekend. This makes Salah one of the best captain candidates for Gameweek 23 of the Fantasy Premier League.
Aleksander Isak is one of the most in-form players in the Premier League as of now. The Swedish striker has scored 11goals and provided three assists in his last nine Premier League games. Newcastle United will face bottom of the table Southampton in Gameweek 23 of the Fantasy Premier League, and it is quite likely that Isak will haul once again, returning a massive number of points to the people who captain him.
Chris Wood is in the form of his life this season and has helped Nottingham Forest achieve some incredible results. Wood scored four goals and provided two assists in his last four Premier League games. He faces Bournemouth in the Premier League in Gameweek 23, and it will not be surprising if Wood ends up putting in another masterclass against and hauls points for the people who decide to captain him this week.
Bruno Fernandes was absolutely phenomenal for Manchester United against Rangers in the UEFA Europa League, scoring the winner in added time. He will be high on confidence after doing so and will be raring to go when he faces Fulham in Gameweek 23. Both the Portuguese star and Manchester United will want to make a statement when in the Premier League this weekend and he can be a good differential captain pick.
Son Heung-min has not been in the best of form this season but with Dominik Solanke being ruled out, he may adopt a more central role. Tottenham face Leicester City in Gameweek 23 of the Fantasy Premier League and this may be the perfect opportunity for Son to get his season back on track. Leicester City’s defense has been full of holes this season and Tottenham may be able to exploit the leaks in their backline perfectly.

Cody Gakpo has finally found his footing at Liverpool after an underwhelming start to his Premier League career. While he has not scored in the last two weeks, he has been a regular starter and has been playing fantastic football. Liverpool faces Ipswich Town in Gameweek 23 of the Fantasy Premier League and the fact that Gakpo is owned by just 10.4% of players makes him a very valuable differential.
Kai Havertz has not been unbelievably good, but with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus’ injuries, he will be one of the players Arsenal looks towards. He scored last week against Aston Villa and will face Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 23 of the Fantasy Premier League. The German star is owned by just 7.9% of Fantasy Premier League players and this may end up being the perfect time for the German star to step up for his club.
Anthony Elanga is on a red-hot streak and has either scored or assisted in six of his last seven Premier League games. He scored three goals and provided three assists in his last seven games for the club. Elanga faces Bournemouth in Gameweek 23of the Fantasy Premier League. He is owned by just 6.4% of FPL owners and can end up being a fantastic differential for this weekend as Nottingham Forest travel away to Bournemouth.
Justin Kluivert is owned by just 4.2% of Fantasy Premier League players, which means he can be a fantastic differential when he plays Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 23 of the FPL. Kluivert has scored four goals and provided one assist in his last two Premier League games including a hattrick against Newcastle United last week. The Dutch star will hope that his goal-scoring run continues when he faces Nottingham Forest over the weekend.
Phil Foden was the Premier League player of the season last year, but he has fallen to the sidelines this season. Foden only managed one goal and one assist this season by Gameweek 18. He was not even a regular starter. However, it has all started turning around and the star player has scored five goals and provided two assists in his last four league games. He is yet owned by just 7.9% of Fantasy Premier League players and can turn out to be a brilliant differential pick.
