FPL Salah provides his three best alternative captain picks to Mohamed Salah for Gameweek 26.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abdul Rehman (FPL Salah) continues with his SportsCasting<\/em><\/a> weekly Fantasy Football advice to provide you with another round of FPL tips for Gameweek 26<\/a> and beyond.<\/p>\n

Every week, FPL Salah will be providing you with FPL tips, insight and advice to gear you up, continuing with his Fantasy Premier League<\/a> fancies for this weekend\u2019s next set of fixtures.<\/p>\n

This is his 18th season playing FPL, and he\u2019s finished in the top 1,000 four times, with 14 finishes in the top 50,000. He also writes weekly FPL articles for The Athletic and Fantasy Football Hub.<\/p>\n

This week, FPL Salah will be presenting his FPL tips that include captaincy options outside of Mohamed Salah (\u00a313.7m).<\/p>\n

Liverpool play Manchester City (A) in Gameweek 26, and although this isn’t as tough a game as it looks on paper, it still does present us with an opportunity to bet against the Egyptian for the captain’s armband.<\/p>\n

Here we will look at the three best captaincy options not named Salah!<\/p>\n

FPL Captain Picks for Gameweek 26<\/h2>\n

Alexander Isak (\u00a39.5m) \u2013 Newcastle United<\/h3>\n

Fixture: Nottingham Forest (H)<\/h4>\n

Alexander Isak has had a great season thus far. The Swede has 17 goals and five assists with an xG (expected goals) of 14.1 and an xA (expected assists) of 3.1.<\/p>\n

He has blanked in the last two fixtures, but he is still no doubt one of the best options in the game.<\/p>\n

Newcastle United have a tough game on paper against Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 26, who have proven to be a resolute defence.<\/p>\n

However, Eddie Howe\u2019s team do have the home advantage and will be the favourites. They are the third favourites to score 2.5+ goals (31%).Isak is nailed to start on penalties and can score and assist.<\/p>\n
