It’s always crucial to have a strong start in Fantasy Premier League, and to have that, you must nail your captain in GW1. Here are my top 3 captains for the opening GW of the 2024/25 FPL season.

Alexander Isak (FWD, 8.5m)
Playing at home against a promoted side Southampton, I can see Newcastle going berserk. I see them as the highest scoring team in GW1, and if that’s the case, Isak should easily get double-digit returns.

Mohamed Salah (MID, 12.5m)
Another one playing against a promoted side, could have easily been No. 1 on this list, but playing away from home and for a new manager in Arne Slot means he is below Isak for me personally.

Erling Haaland (FWD, 15.0m)
On paper, Chelsea away should be a tough fixture, but their pre-season has been a disaster; they look shaky at the back and concede lots of chances. They already played City in one of the friendlies, and Haaland scored a hat-trick in that match. Definitely a captain option this week.
