Fantasy Premier League: Saka and Watkins Challenge Haaland for Captains Armband in BGW26
In the upcoming Blank Gameweek 26 of Fantasy Premier League, the usual go-to captain, Erling Haaland, faces strong competition from Bukayo Saka and Ollie Watkins, both in fine form and with favourable fixtures.
Recent form shows Saka and Watkins outscoring Haaland significantly in the last four Gameweeks, with impressive goal involvements and bonus points to their name.
While Haaland boasts impressive shot numbers, his conversion rate has dipped, giving Saka and Watkins an edge in terms of finishing skills and big chance involvement.
Analysing the opponents, Newcastle‘s defence looks vulnerable, which could benefit Saka owners; meanwhile, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth present mixed figures that could influence Haaland’s appeal.
Overall, Haaland’s exceptional away form in terms of big chance involvement and goal conversion rates could give him the advantage over Saka and Watkins.
As Fantasy managers ponder their captaincy choices, the battle for the armband intensifies in BGW26.
