Ollie Watkins’ Return: Impact on Captaincy and Booster Strategies for Gameweek 22

Introduction to the article
The upcoming Gameweek 22 of the Premier League features a full round of fixtures, along with two relevant FA Cup replays. This presents an opportunity for Dream Team managers to target players with two fixtures at their disposal, making potential captain choices all the more important.

Ollie Watkins: A Strong Captaincy Option

Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins is set to be a key player in Gameweek 22, having secured a 0-0 draw with Chelsea in the FA Cup. This means Watkins is among the slim minority of players with the opportunity for double duty, facing Sheffield United and then Chelsea, who have both struggled defensively. With his recent goal-scoring form and a midweek fixture, Watkins is a strong captaincy option for the upcoming gameweek.

Cole Palmer: Chelsea’s Top Performer

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer has been their top performer, with an impressive 171 points and a solid points-per-game average. With a double header against Wolves and Aston Villa, Palmer may not have as favorable fixtures as Watkins, but his consistent scoring and potential as the team’s penalty taker make him a viable captaincy option for Gameweek 22.

Erling Haaland: A Captainscy Contender for Manchester City

The potential for Erling Haaland to start in Manchester City’s upcoming fixtures may make him a strong captaincy contender, as he has been a prolific goal scorer for the team. However, his playing time may be uncertain, so managers with him in their XI should consider activating their Max Captain Booster if possible, to capitalize on his potential impact.
