Welcome back to another Fantasy Premier League Captain Tips for Gameweek 28 article. This week, we have a joint effort from jamieFPL and NaturalFootyFan as they analyse the best candidates for your captain's armband. This article will analyse the players with the most votes on the /r/FantasyPL captaincy poll to reveal how they've performed over the last three game weeks. We are going to look at recent points, fixture difficulty, goal scoring form and creativity to reach a verdict on who the most rounded captaincy choice in for Gameweek 28.

Recent Form

 

#	Player	Mins	Mins Per Pt	Total Pts
1	Ozil	270	9.3	29
2	Costa	239	10.9	22
3	Mahrez	223	12.4	18
4	Arnautovic	163	9.6	17
5	Rashford	79	4.9	16
6	Vardy	270	19.3	14
7	Lukaku	165	15.0	11
8	Kane	261	26.1	10
9	Aguero	180	22.5	8

  Mesut Ozil has been in superb form, contributing with a couple of goals and assists in the last three gameweeks - he's The Gunners most advanced midfielder nowadays. Marcus Rashford has gone from academy graduate to first team starter in an eventful week. He boasts the best minutes per point ratio having scored a brace in his single Premier League appearance. Marko Arnautovic also triumphs in the minutes per point category, having recently recovered from illness (GW28) to hit two goals past Aston Villa the following week.

Opposition Difficulty

 

#	Player	Vs	Big Chances Conceded	Goals Conceded
1	Lukaku	avl	7	8
2	Costa	nor	4	5
3	Arnautovic	NEW	3	5
4	Ozil	SWA	7	4
5	Vardy	WBA	6	3
5	Mahrez	WBA	6	3
7	Kane	whu	3	3
8	Rashford	WAT	4	2
9	Aguero	liv	1	2

  Romelu Lukaku face a Villa side who are planted at the root of the table and will be encouraged to attack on Tuesday - gaps will appear, left, right and centre for the big Belgian striker. Diego Costa and Marko Arnautovic also have very attractive fixtures, as they face a 17th and 18th placed club respectively. Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Sergio Aguero all have tough fixtures, however, you would expect each of their teams to score during the fixtures in question.

Goalscoring Form

 

#	Player	Big Chances	SoT	Goals
1	Costa	3	3	2
2	Arnautovic	2	3	2
3	Rashford	2	2	2
4	Ozil	1	2	2
5	Vardy	5	5	1
6	Kane	2	5	1
7	Aguero	3	3	1
8	Lukaku	2	3	1
9	Mahrez	0	1	1

  Diego Costa tops the chart, with some well-rounded performances during the last three gameweeks. He's been presented the chances, taken the shots and scored the goals. It's very impressive that Marko Arnautovic and Marcus Rashford rank so high in this table, having played a limited amount of minutes compared to their competition. Mesut Ozil is perhaps the most consistent midfielder in the Premier League which is why he features in this analysis largely dominated by strikers.

Creativity

 

#	Player	Chances Created	Assists
1	Ozil	14	2
2	Costa	4	2
3	Vardy	6	1
4	Mahrez	2	1
5	Rashford	1	1
6	Lukaku	8	0
7	Arnautovic	3	0
8	Kane	2	0
9	Aguero	0	0

  It's plain and simple - Mesut Ozil is a creative goddess. The German International has 18 assists this season and embarrasses his competition in this area. It's clear to see that Diego Costa, Jamie Vardy and Romelu Lukaku have been providing for their teammates - something worth noting for assist potential. Although surrounded by high quality players, Sergio Aguero clearly rates his own expertise above theirs with a big fat zero in chances created and assists.
