Fantasy Premier League: GW26 Top Captain Picks
By Vibudh Dixit
4. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (SOU, WBA): I don’t think there should be any debate about the fact that Calvert-Lewin has the best fixtures this week on paper.
Southampton and West Brom both leaking goals at the moment and looking like teams to target for captaincy.
The only problem here is the unpredictability of Everton which seems to be a big question mark. They seem to turn up in big games and get results while disappointing in some of these games where they should be winning, as pointed out in the tweet below.
This is the only thing that is putting me off from captaining DCL at the moment. If Everton does turn up, DCL is capable of hauling in either game so the upside is clearly there.
Everton are so unpredictable.

They’ve only kept 5 CS all season and 4 of them were in wins against Tot (a), Lei (a), Che (h), Liv (a).
They’ve only failed to score in 5 games which were Lee (h), Whu (h), New (h), Ful (h), Sou (a).
One thing worth pointing out is that in the reverse fixture of the West Brom game, Calvert-Lewin grabbed a hattrick in a 5-2 Everton win.
Although, I personally prefer not to read too much into that as there have been managerial changes at West Brom since then and they are a completely different side under Sam Allardyce.
