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 is, without a shadow of a doubt, the first-choice captain pick in Gameweek 24 of the Fantasy Premier League. While he is in fantastic form this season, having scored 19 goals and provided 13 assists already, the main reason why he is overwhelmingly the first choice for captaincy this week is that Liverpool have a double Gameweek. Liverpool will face Bournemouth and Everton in Gameweek 24, which means Salah will have two chances to score points.
Alexander Isak consistently keeps making our list of top captaincy picks. This is due to his consistent form this season. Isak has scored 13 goals and provided three assists in his last 10 Premier League games. This is a ridiculous statistic, and it is likely that he will keep up his goalscoring run when he faces Fulham over the weekend. Most of Newcastle United’s attacks go through Isak, and it will not be surprising if his name ends up being on the score sheet multiple times when he faces Fulham in the Premier League this weekend.

Cole Palmer has blanked in the last two Premier League games for Chelsea, but the fact is he has managed to get 21 goal involvements (14 goals and seven assists) in 23 Premier League games this season. While he has not scored or assisted in his last two games, Palmer will not remain quiet for long. He faces West Ham United in Gameweek 24 of the Fantasy Premier League, and this can be the perfect opportunity for Cole Palmer to get back in form by scoring goals and providing assists.
Chris Wood has scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season already and will probably score a lot more before the end of the current season. Wood and Nottingham Forest face Brighton in Gameweek 24, and it will not be surprising if Chris Wood ends up getting his name on the score sheet. Wood scored four goals and provided two assists in his last five games, and this is why he is on our list for one of the top captaincy candidates for this week. Chris Wood is in the best form of his life, and he will hope to capitalise on this form and continue scoring for however long he can.

Bruno Fernandes has not been in the best of forms in the Premier League this season, but he finally seems to fit into Ruben Amorim’s system. He has been playing brilliantly for the club, and Manchester United’s fortunes seem to be turning around. They face Crystal Palace in Gameweek 24 of the Premier League, and it will not be surprising if Bruno Fernandes ends up hauling against them.

Dominik Szoboszlai scored a goal and provided an assist when he faced Ipswich Town in the Premier League last week. He has a double Gameweek and will face Bournemouth and Everton in Gameweek 24 of the Fantasy Premier League. Despite his performance last week, Szoboszlai is owned by just 2.4% of FPL managers, which makes him a fantastic differential pick for this weekend.
Phil Foden has been in ridiculous form in recent games in the Premier League. In fact, he scored six goals and provided two assists in his last Premier League games. Despite his performance, he is still owned by just 8.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers, which makes him a brilliant differential pick. While Foden has a tough game against Arsenal coming up, it will not be surprising if he continues his form and scores or assists against the Gunners.

Bruno Guimaraes is owned by just 2.4% of Fantasy Premier League owners, which means he could end up being a brilliant differential pick this weekend. Guimaraes has scored one goal and two assists in his last four Premier League games. He faces Fulham over the weekend, and it will not be shocking if he ends up scoring or assisting against them. The Brazilian star is the heart of Newcastle United’s midfield, and most moves go through him, which is why Bruno Guimaraes is likely to score or assist when Newcastle United face Fulham in Gameweek 24 of the Premier League.

Dango Ouattara scored a hattrick for Bournemouth against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League last week. He ended up hauling 21 points in a single week after this performance. Despite this, he is owned by just 1% of Fantasy Premier League managers, and if he ends up putting in another such performance, the people who own him will make up a lot of ground. While he has a tough game against Liverpool coming up, Nottingham Forest will surely put up a fight, and Ouattara may get involved even more.

Kaoru Mitoma plays as a winger for Brighton and has scored two goals and provided one assist in his last three Premier League games. Mitoma is owned by just 5.5% of Fantasy Premier League players and can end up being a fantastic differential in Gameweek 24. He faces Nottingham Forest, who will be recovering from a recent 5-0 loss, and Brighton will look to cause even more misery to Nottingham Forest this week.
