Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) rewarded FPL managers who gave him the armband with two goals and two assists and full bonus points in Liverpool’s 7-0 triumph against Manchester United, totalling 21 points.
The Liverpool star, who was the third-most captained player, also benefited from his two main rivals, Haaland and Saka, failing to score on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Erling Haaland (£12.2m) increased his 2022/23 Fantasy attacking returns total to 33, nine more than any other player. However, he failed to register a goal for the sixth time in his last 10 games.
About five million managers who gave the Manchester City striker their armband would have been disappointed when a yellow card brought his total to four points.
Even so, his backers would have exhaled a sigh of relief as Arsenal’s thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over AFC Bournemouth saw captaincy rival Bukayo Saka (£8.5m) blank for just the second time in nine home matches.
After Saka scored 15 points in Double Gameweek 25, expectations were high, and 56 of the top 100 players gave him the captain’s band.
Elesewhere, Brentford kept their long unbeaten run going thanks to a 3-2 derby victory over Fulham, with Ivan Toney (£7.7m) on the scoresheet.
The Gameweek 27 deadline is set for Saturday, 11th March at 12:00pm WAT.
