In a blink of eyes, FPL game week 10 is back and back with many dilemmas. And the most obvious dilemma is the captain pick. The pick is around the big gun once again and this time Salah is ahead of all.

Before starting, here are top any time goal scoring odds in game week9 for the players from William hills:

Salah - 1.50
Firmino -1.80
Aguero - 1.85
Lacazette, Hazard -1.95
Mane -2.00
Aubameyang -2.05
Kane -2.20
Lukaku - 2.25

Salah/ Mane/ Firmino vs Cardiff (HOME):

The favorite pick for this game week should be Salah and he is the leader in many polls across the different website. Liverpool and Salah will play Cardiff City and Salah has picked his form back in the right time. He got winning goal against Huddersfield after back to back blanks. Not only Huddersfield, but he also got 2 goals against Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League fixtures in the mid-week which have increased his appeal. He is also the penalty taker for Liverpool.

But I assume most of the active manager might not own him given his price and the form he has been through. From 55%, his ownership is down to 32% and this should include most of the dead teams. Thus, if you don't own Salah, Mane and Firmino are always favorite to take the captaincy. Both Firmino and Mane got a goal each against Red Star Belgrade in the midweek.

Also, Cardiff hasn't done well against the big teams. Having already played 4 of the big 6, they conceded 13 goals in these 4 matches. They conceded 5 against ManCity, 4 against Chelsea and 3 against Arsenal. Liverpool might run rampage against the defense of Cardiff City which makes the Liverpool trio the favorite going into this game week.

Others

There shouldn't be a second thought about captaining anyone other than Liverpool trios. But if you still change your mind, Hazard alternative to Liverpool trios if he starts. He is in doubt because of the back injury. Aguero had been in great form this season and Spurs is his favorite opponents. Despite tricky fixture, he is certainly another candidate to consider. Andrew Robertson is another best option to go with return guaranteed on both sides of the ground. Arsenal visits Palace and Lacazette or Aubameyang are also in the peck as both of them are in great form recently,

Since I don't have Salah, I am going with Mane this time.
