Up next this busy Friday evening, we dive into the Opta data with our usual pre-Gameweek members’ article assessing the main captaincy candidates for the upcoming round of fixtures.

To get underway, we check in with the Captain Poll contenders, then examine the Opta numbers and Rate My Team rankings before highlighting a differential or two to help advise on your armband dilemma.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Wow. Wasn't expecting that to be honest. He could be a big differential

    1. NOMONEY
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      yea might captain him

  3. Netley Lucas
    • 10 Years

    Mental. Triple captain worthy.

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Are you going for it, T.C.?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I want to. But I'm not brave enough.

    • 16 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    I've got 2 ft and 0.6 itb. Thinking of doing:

    Jones > Holgate then bringing in a Middlesbrough defender and Benteke next week.

    Any better moves? Team currently is:

    Heaton - Grant
    Azpi - Valencia - Brunt - Jones - Maguire
    Sanchez - Alli - Siggy - Son - King
    Lukaku - Llorente - Gabbiadini

  7. United10

    9 years, 12 days ago

    Should I WC to this? I think its set up well for remainder of the season, yes/no?
    Current team
    Valdes, Jaku
    Valencia, Brunt, Pieters, Pennington, Kingsley
    Sanchez, Alli, Lanzini, King, Carroll
    Kane, Ibra, Lukaku

    WC Team
    Valdes, Jaku
    Rojo, Davies, Bernardo, Holgate, Stephens
    Sanchez, Alli, Sterling, Zaha, De Roon

  9. PMz
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Played my wildcard last week and already regretting a few decisions. Mainly Walcott and Origi. I have 0.6 ITB. Is Kun + Origi > Ibra + Benteke (-4) the right move?

    Pickford (Valdes)

    Holgate Valencia Davies

    Allí Eriksen Haz Walcott

    Origi Kun Lukaku

    Subs: De Roon Stephens Friend

    1. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Maybe with the doubles next week but how well will Ibra score vs Chelsea, Burnley and City?

      I'm worried Kane will score better in 2 matches than Ibra in 3, assuming he plays them all.

      1. PMz
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I have 3 spurs already which is annoying.

  10. THFC4LIFE

    (K)ane!!!!!!!

  11. Loðbrók
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Kane!

    1. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      'C'ane!

  12. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Captain Kane for me!

  13. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Are you guys saving a spot and money for Gabriel Jesus?

    Have Ibra and Kane and not sure to save money to do Diomande -> Gabbiadini and leave some money in the bank to afford Gabriel Jesus if he returns soon.

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      No, huge rotation risk

      1. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        +1

  14. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Why is Sanchez up front and not at left back in Arsenals team news formation
    Someone is in denial

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Giroud will probably come in for Welbeck, who has been as useless as usual

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Agreed particularly with Wenger's comments, seems a bit strange

  15. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Anyone think the chances of Ibra starting both matches in 34 are slim or Utd to useless without him?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Was hardly busting a gut yesterday, particularly 2nd half. Not being funny but the guy gets his rest during games 😆

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        This. He's fantasy gold.

  16. borat
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    How are these moves for next gw
    aguero to kane
    sterling to zaha (-4)

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Not good. I would save Sterling (see City's fixture from GW 35)

      1. borat
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I will wc Gw 35 So can bring Sterling or sane

  17. Numb
    • 11 Years

    Foster - Pickford
    Davies - Valencia - Walker - Pieters - Amat
    Alli - Sanchez - Siggy - Lanzini - Fletcher
    Aguero - Origi - Lukaku

    2FT and 0 in the bank.. Gonna need a master plan Before using the WC to hopefully catch my rivals..Any thoughts for this week??

    A. Walker, Fletcher, Aguero --> Ward, Zaha, Kane (-4)
    B. Walker, Sanchez, Origi --> Ward, Zaha, Kane (-4)
    C. Other.

  20. ratski
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Is costa to Kane worth a -4????

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Yes

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Yes

    3. T444
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I'm expecting a big haul from kane

      1. ratski
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Means baines out to a 5.0 or less def?

  21. T444
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    My WC is down to one decision.

    I can't have kun and sanchez
    Please give me your opinion on which one to keep.

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Sanchez

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Kun

    3. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      would keep Sanchez

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      neither

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Sanchez due to doubles and Arsenal cannot continue in such poor form and he will get some good hauls even if to impress future employers. Kun could be benched for Jesus sooner than we expect.

    6. FrankieTheGent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Sanchez

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Kaku gonna blank......

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Congrats on the win! 10 men. Well done

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        cheers! Was always gonna be tough, but was a massive result; sadly Wednesday didn't slip up, could do with a Toon win now as well

  23. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    G2G? Not sure about De gea/Pickford and Valencia

    Pickford
    Valencia Alonso Vertonghen
    Eriksen Sanchez Siggy Zaha
    Kane(c) Ibra Origi

    De gea Yoshida DeRoon Kone

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Seems decent, i guess only playing one of ddg or Valencia is the right away to go.

    2. Razmataz
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Pickford will probably concede. Chelsea will be happy with a draw (0v0...)

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Start De gea and Valencia then?

        1. Razmataz
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Pickford will get more bonus but less likely to keep a clean sheet in my opinion.

  24. Razmataz
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Good to go?

    Valdez

    Valencia Bally Peiters Williams

    Sanchez son Alli

    Kane (c) Lukaku benteke

    Subs: Pickford Evans Fletcher Antonio

    Still got wc. Could do Antonio -> zaha 4pt hit and drop someone to the bench?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Looks good matey

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Have a look at mine above

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Yeah, do it, Ant's out for the season and Fletch is usually 2.

  25. Optic1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Best 5.4 option in defence to replace Davies? (make room for Kane).

    I'm on Bailly at the minute.

  26. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    If I'm ahead in my mini league and all my rivals have lukaku and not Kane, am I best to captain lukaku?

    I have both...

    Ta

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      captain whoever will score more, *Kane cough cough Kane*

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Yep captain Kaku

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Yes Kane will be sufficient as differential from them

  27. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Flight at 11am tomorrow so need to decide tonight whom to captain

    Son
    Eriksen
    Sanchez
    Lukaku
    Walker

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Of them i guess the safe option is kaku

    2. Dazzler365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Lukaku if you don't own kane

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      after last week, you have to trust your boy Son

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Lukaku the obvious one but I'd be going one of the spurs.
      Alli or bent eke for me btw.

    5. FrankieTheGent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Lukaku

    6. makaveli123

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Yes nothing exciting believe me just Ireland, Scotland & England. Going to Canterbury to see family over Easter tomorrow

    7. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Kaku for safety

  28. Dazzler365
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Pickford/heaton
    Bavies, Pieters, Valencia
    Alli, Sanchez, zaha, Siggy, coutinho
    Lukaku, Kane (c)
    G2G? Which keeper?

  29. Cruz88
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    I submitted a stat based captain focused article for consideration last night, should I assume that it won't be posted? (not submitted one before so not sure about how long these things normally take, though I know not all are posted) - if not I'll post my findings as a comment as I did last week so it wasn't all for nothing :). Maybe I should wait until the morning?

    1. makaveli123
