FPL Gameweek 37: The Best Captain Choices

Mohamed Salah (bha) - Highest Projected Point Scorer


Despite scoring just one goal over the last six Gameweeks, Salah's underlying numbers have remained strong.

Barnes (15) and Trossard (14) are the only midfielders to have attempted more shots in the box than the Egyptian international (13) over the last six Gameweeks and he is joint-top for 'big chances' (six).

Meanwhile, he is also top for 'big chances' created (five), while Enzo (18) is the only midfielder to have attempted more assists than his 16.

Liverpool have scored 42 goals in away matches this season, more than any other side. The Merseyside outfit are top for shots on target (114), 'big chances' (84) and 'Expected Goals' (xG) (46.94) on their travels.

Their hosts Brighton have conceded 24 goals in home matches (10th) and have kept just three clean sheets. The Seagulls are ranked 10th for shots in the box conceded (143) and 10th for 'Expected Goals Conceded' (xGC) (24.29) in home games.
