A rested Kevin De Bruyne (£12.5m) can offer managers a strong alternative to Erling Haaland (£12.1m) for the captaincy in Gameweek 15 of Fantasy Premier League.
The Belgian was an unused substitute in Manchester City‘s 3-1 win over Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening.
That boosts De Bruyne’s prospects of returning to the starting XI against Fulham this weekend.
He has climbed to the top of the midfield standings on the back of successive goals in the last two Gameweeks.
Fulham, meanwhile, have struggled in defence on their travels this term, conceding at least twice in each of their last five road trips.
If Haaland is passed fit, though, he will again be the runaway armband favourite.
The Norwegian is owned by a huge 80 per cent of managers and has averaged 13.5 points per appearance at the Etihad Stadium.
Joao Cancelo (£7.4m) and Phil Foden (£8.5m) provide further options for Pep Guardiola‘s side.
Full-back Cancelo has delivered three sets of double-figure hauls in his six home starts, while Foden has 30 points in his previous two outings at the Etihad.
Elsewhere, Brighton & Hove Albion‘s Leandro Trossard (£6.9m) and Newcastle United‘s Callum Wilson (£7.5m) are among the standout mid-price picks for the captaincy.
Trossard visits Wolverhampton Wanderers on the back of goals against Manchester City and Chelsea in the last two Gameweeks.
Wilson faces Southampton having delivered his career-high 19 points in the previous Gameweek.
Finally, big-hitters Harry Kane (£11.6m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) are both in form for their head-to-head on Sunday afternoon.
Tottenham Hotspur‘s Kane has scored in each of his last five home matches, totalling 42 points.
Salah has seven goals and an assist in his last seven appearances in all competitions for Liverpool.
