The Fantasy Premier League is back after the international break. Fans had to wait for a while for Gameweek 30 of the Premier League due to international games, but the Premier League is now set to return with a blast this weekend. Two of the title contenders, Manchester City and Arsenal, will go against each other in Gameweek 30. While this means a blockbuster game, it troubles Fantasy Premier League players as to who to captain, as obvious picks like Erling Haaland and Bukayo Saka have a tough game this week. This article discovers some of the best captain and differential picks for Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 30.

Mohamed Salah had been struggling with an injury, making his full return in the FA Cup tie against Manchester United just before the international break. He looks to have recovered completely now and will be raring to get going in the Premier League once again. He is Liverpool’s marquee man and will be extremely involved in the game against Brighton. This makes him the best captain pick for Gameweek 30.

Son Heung-min has been in good form ever since he returned from injury. He plays Luton Town in Gameweek 30, which is a very favourable fixture for Son. While Luton has played well this season and showed that they are determined to fight for a place in the Premier League next season, their defence has been abysmal. Son can easily take advantage of their loose defence and provide a massive return in Gameweek 30.

Ollie Watkins has blanked in his last two Premier League games. However, this certainly does not mean that you should stop trusting him. Despite his apparent lack of form, the striker boasts 16 goals and 15 assists in the current Fantasy Premier League season. He is the highest-scoring player in FPL this season and will surely regain his form sooner or later. With people being sceptical about Watkins going into Gameweek 30, this might be the perfect opportunity to captain him. This can help you move up the ranks if he does end up regaining form this week.

Cole Palmer has two goals and four assists in his last five Premier League games. He is one of the most in-form players in the Premier League this season. The English star has 20 goal involvements in the Fantasy Premier League this season. He has been phenomenal for Chelsea. Palmer will play against 19th-position Burnley on the weekend, and this might end up being the perfect game for Cole Palmer to prove his worth once again. He is one of the top captain picks for Gameweek 30.

Although Erling Haaland has a very tough game coming up this week, he is still Erling Haaland. He has shown in the past that he is nothing short of a machine, and it will not come as a surprise if he takes apart Arsenal’s defence in Gameweek 30. The two teams are both title contenders, and both Erling Haaland and Manchester City will be determined to beat them by a comfortable margin and go above them in the table.

Rodrigo Muniz has seven goals and one assist in his last seven games for Fulham. It is shocking that only 5% of Fantasy Premier League players own him. Given Muniz’s current form, this differential can help FPL owners gain a lot of points and fly up the ranks. Muniz plays bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United in Gameweek 30, and it will not be surprising if he ends up hauling against them. Rodrigo Muniz is one of the best differential players going into Gameweek 30.
Trust in Nicolas Jackson, this guy is a hidden gem pic.twitter.com/fc2c91nVAF

Nicolas Jackson was one of the biggest letdowns in the Premier League this season. He impressed everyone while playing for Chelsea in the pre-season, and everyone expected him to have a stellar season with the club. However, once the season started, he did not live up to the expectations. Questions regarding his finishing were raised, but now the striker has started to find form again. He has two goals and an assist in his last three Premier League appearances and can turn out to be a very good differential, considering that he is owned by just 4.7% of Fantasy Premier League players.

Marcus Rashford had a stellar season last year but has struggled to match his form from last season this year out. However, he seems to be finding his form again. He has scored three goals in as many games in all competitions, two of them coming against Manchester City and Liverpool. If he can continue this form going into Gameweek 30 he can end up returning massively against Brentford in Gameweek 30.

Antonee Robinson plays against bottom of the table Sheffield United in Gameweek 30. He has returned 25 points in his last five Fantasy Premier League games, which is a very respectable return for a defender. Robinson is expected to add to his points this weekend against Sheffield United. Not only is he one of the best candidates to keep a clean sheet this week, but his attacking prowess can see him give additional returns to those who own him for Gameweek 30.

Antoine Semenyo has scored five goals in his last five Premier League games for Bournemouth. While Dominic Solanke has been getting most of the attention for the Cherries this season, Semenyo has started to shine in recent weeks. He has gone under the radar and is owned by just 2.8% of Fantasy Premier League players, but he can be an amazing differential for managers looking to climb up the ranks in Gameweek 30.
