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, the most in-form player in the Premier League this season, is once again the top pick to be the captain in Gameweek 30 of the Fantasy Premier League. Salah has a ridiculous 27 goals and 17 assists in 29 Premier League games. He will undoubtedly add to this tally when he faces Liverpool’s bitter rival, Everton, in the Premier League this weekend. Mohamed Salah has been involved in goals in each of his last eight games, which is why he is the favourite pick to be handed the armband this week.

Erling Haaland has been nowhere near his goal-scoring form this season and has clearly dropped as compared to previous seasons. However, even his points tally after dropping off is incredible. He has scored 21 goals and provided three assists in the Premier League so far. Haaland has scored five goals and provided two assists in his last eight appearances and seems to have regained a bit of his form. Manchester City face one of the relegation-threatened teams, Leicester City, in Gameweek 30 of the Fantasy Premier League, and Erling Haaland will almost definitely end up hauling against them, which is why he is one of the best captain picks.

Bruno Fernandes is arguably the most in-form player in the league as of now, and the only reason he is third on this list is because he faces Nottingham Forest, a tough opponent, in Gameweek 30 of the Fantasy Premier League. Fernandes has been incredible for Manchester United recently and has scored three goals and provided four assists in Manchester United’s last four Premier League games. Bruno Fernandes has returned 46 points in United’s last four games and hopes to keep doing so when he faces Nottingham Forest this week. His form in the league is why Bruno Fernades is one of the top captain picks for Gameweek 30.
Alexander Isak has been a spectacular striker in the Premier League this season, arguably one of the best. While the Swedish striker missed the game against Liverpool and blanked against West Ham United, Isak ended up playing a blinder against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final to help Newcastle United win the title. Isak hopes to continue this form and haul against Brentford when he faces them in Gameweek 30 of the Fantasy Premier League. Given how Newcastle United have been playing recently, they will surely look to dominate Brentford, and Isak can end up providing multiple goals and assists against them.

Ollie Watkins is a differential captain who Fantasy Premier League players can opt for instead in Gameweek 30. Aston Villa will face Brighton this weekend, and Watkins can end up being one of Aston Villa’s most important players. The striker scored three goals and provided one assist in Villa’s last five Premier League games and hopes to do a lot more against Brighton this weekend. The English striker has been playing quite well for Villa recently, and it will not be surprising if the Aston Villa striker ends up being hauled against Brighton. Most Villa attacks go through Watkins, which is why Ollie Watkins is one of the best captain picks.

Ismaila Sarr is a Crystal Palace forward who is owned by just 4.6% of Fantasy Premier League players. Sarr has scored three goals in his last two Premier League games and is one of the most in-form players in the league as of now. Crystal Palace faced Southampton this weekend, the team sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table. Palace is the clear favourite to win this game, and given how Sarr performed before the international break, it will not be too surprising if he ends up returning a lot of points this weekend.

Darwin Nunez has been playing quite well for Liverpool recently and managed to score a goal and provide an assist in Liverpool’s latest Premier League game. However, despite his recent performances, he is owned by just 2% of the Fantasy Premier League players, which makes him an incredible differential to have in your team. Liverpool faces their arch-rivals, Everton, in Gameweek 30 of the Premier League, and it will not be surprising if Nunez ends up hauling against them this weekend.
After an excellent March, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde has been nominated for @premierleague Player of the Month.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde has been phenomenal for Wolverhampton Wanderers as of late. The talented midfielder has provided three assists in Wolves’ last two games and hopes to continue doing so now that the international break is over. Wolverhampton Wanderers will face West Ham United in Gameweek 30 of the Premier League, and Bellegarde will hope that he can continue to perform for the Wolves. The talented star is owned by just 0.4% of Fantasy Premier League players, which makes him an incredible differential pick.
Anthony Elanga faces his former team, Manchester United, in Gameweek 30 of the Premier League, and he will surely want to impress against them. Elanga scored two goals against Ipswich Town in the Premier League last Gameweek and hopes to help Nottingham Forest with such a contribution in Gameweek 30 as well. The Swedish winger is owned by just 6.7% of Fantasy Premier League players, which is why he is one of the top differential picks to have in your team for Gameweek 30.

Marcus Tavernier has not been returning a lot of points recently, but we feel he can end up being a brilliant differential to have in your team for Gameweek 30 of the Fantasy Premier League. He is owned by just 0.4% of Fantasy Premier League players, and if he ends up returning, he can be incredibly helpful in helping low-ranked players jump up the ranks. Bournemouth faces Ipswich Town in the Premier League, and it will not be surprising if they end up dominating against them. Marcus Tavernier can end up being one of the highest points scorers in Gameweek 30.
