The Captain Poll is now open for votes ahead of Gameweek 4 and you can watch our video on the best candidates for the armband below or on our YouTube channel.

The early favourite is Sergio Aguero (£11.2m) who faces an appealing home match-up against Newcastle, a side he is very fond of.

The Manchester City striker has scored 11 goals in his last five home meetings with the Magpies and has already netted a hat-trick in front of his own supporters this season.

With the champions set for the most attractive fixture of the week, options such as Benjamin Mendy (£6.3m) will get consideration as well as David Silva (£8.5m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.0m) if he can hold on to his place.

Also with an appealing match-up is Chelsea, who host the porous Bournemouth defence in Gameweek 4. The Cherries have only allowed two big chances so far in 2018/19, although that does include facing a goal shy Cardiff and they have still conceded three goals in as many matches.

Eden Hazard (£10.6m) is obviously the standout candidate with two assists and goal from just one start and two subsitute appearances in the first three Gameweeks of the season.

However, Pedro (£6.6m) is also an option for those unable to shoehorn the Belgian international into their sides.

As ever, Marcos Alonso (£6.7m) will form part of the conversation now that he has registered a minimum of 11 points in every match so far and has had more shots on goal than any other defender.

Of course Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) has to still be in the conversation as he’s joint-top for shots amongst all players and has created more chances than anyone else.

      Oh dam

    Bottomed

    Sterling > Hazard for a hit insane?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Not insane sterling was shocking against wolves can see him being benched

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        he wasnt shocking

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I bought him last week but my gut feeling now is I've made an 11m
      mistake. Think I would, as long as you have Kun.

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Not for a hit though, wait a week if no issues.

        1. Wheato182
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Got Kun

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 days ago

            Both teams have reasonable fix's, I'd hold 'till next week when Chelsk have Cardiff.

  3. Ted Bovis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    TC Kun anyone?

    1. GE
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Haha, just before me 😉
      I’m on 55 %

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Torn on this

    3. Mic
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Newcastle arent poor enough

    4. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Considering it yeah

    5. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Do it if you want, I'd be a bit wary of playing my chips in a single gameweek. I think the fact that they were somewhat disappointing last year during the DGWs is not enough reason to not play them in a DGW again - most of the time they'll work out better.

      1. moment
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        They worked out gangbusters the year before

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Exactly, and the year before that. The best percentage play is during a DGW and that hasn't changed - the only change is that people are more emboldened to play it in a SGW because they remember the most recent occasion, which happened to be a relative failure.

    6. barrybigyin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Not for me.

      Newcastle were quite solid against Chelsea last week. Benitez plays such a defensive style of containment against all the big clubs. They were only broken down by a penalty and a deflection in the last 15 minutes.

      I'd keep the TC for another day.

  4. GE
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    TC Aguero?

    1. Ted Bovis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      thinking about doing it, why not?

      1. GE
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Risk of bench?

        1. Ted Bovis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          He who dares Rodney, he who dares!

        2. Shatner's Bassoon
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Don't think Pep is going to bench Aguero for a home game tbh. Not worth the risk after minor slip up last weekend.

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      No wait for dgw

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      A little risky for me, Newcastle will park that bus nice and big. At the risk of being quite annoying Huddersfield was probably the best single Kun game option. That said, he looks sharp and is at least good for a goal or two.

      1. CL4PTRAP
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        This GW strangely lining up like the HUD game, main defenders are injured for Newcastle according to Rafa just as Zanka was for HUD in the GW against MCI. Not saying TC but C if nothing definite from Pep looks a solid gamble, as HUD was for many who gave him the armband, myself included. I did not drink from the Kool Aid tho, I did Salah (C) last GW.

  5. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    How's this looking?

    Hart (Hamer)
    Alonso Mendy Robertson Shaw Wan-Bissaka
    Salah Hazard Mane (Fraser, Guendouzi)
    Aguero Ings (Kamara)

    Anything to change?

    1. dan_247
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Very good team you have there

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Cheers mate!

    2. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I'd be concerned about Hart
      Rest looks good, not sure i'd go for that balance but can see it working

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah I'm looking to bring in Ederson, probably gonna do Mane>Mkhi and Hart>Ederson, and then Fraser>Richarlison later.

    3. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      The price of having 4 big hitters is having only 5 offensive players isn't it

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Got Fraser on the bench. And three offensive players at the back 🙂

    4. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Don't like Hart or Ings as a second striker

  6. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Bottoms up 🙂

    Keep Shaw or Cook long term (5-6 GWs)?
    Shaw - if Utd defence stabilise could be a good long term option
    Cook - always a possibility of conceding

    Want to get Alonso in my team
    Current defence

    TAA, Mendy, Cook, Shaw, AWB

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I'd keep Shaw.

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Keep shaw

    3. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      thanks folks, Cook it is!

  7. windowview
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    How is my WC team looking?

    Foster
    Robertson - Mendy - Alonso
    Salah - Mane - Walcott - Moura
    Aguero - Mitrovic - Zaha

    Bench: Hamer - WB - Bennett - Hud Odoi

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      The same as most.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Rubbish bench great starting 11

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      looks like you are chasing this weeks bandwagons

    4. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Fairly template...
      Mane, Moura, H-O wouldn't be in my WC team.
      Would probably go for a different keeper as well. Talk about Bennet losing his place.

    5. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      The bandwagon template. You nailed it.

    6. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Seems like the rest of the WC's I have seen. If on WC, did you plan this for the next 6-8 games or just following the group?

  8. Waltomade
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Mkhi or Walcott

  9. BON
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    FFS need to pull their finger out and lock comments on people who post RMTs. All day long every page has had 15 or more RMTs on them. It's getting ridiculous.

    Newcastle havent been battered yet they were unlucky against Chelsea.. Rafa has em fairly organised

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Sincerely hope they get relegated.

      1. Mic
        • 9 Years

        Ban

    2. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah I think TC is a bit nuts. But definitely captaining.

      A bit of an eye on Hazard vs BOU though

      1. MattysFantasyFooty
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Same Bournemouth are very leaky

        1. MattysFantasyFooty
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          But city are incredible at home

      2. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Hey Kun, you think Sterling likely to start next 2 ?
        Wont hold you to it 🙂
        Want to punt on WC , then Salah back

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          I don't think there's any guarantee that he does. But of all of the wingers he's got the most chance of minutes imo. I would never drop Salah for him

          1. Debauchy
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 6 days ago

            Enough for me 🙂 thanks only 2 games then Salah back
            This is maverick season for me hit or miss

    3. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      They haven't played City at the Etihad, though. First time for everything (see Kane in August @ Old Trafford for further reading).

    4. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      This will probably swing it for me. Plus the fact that I've really wasted my TC in previous seasons

  18. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Richarlison >>

    1. Pedro
    2. Walcott

    Thanks

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Walcott.
      Nailed, fixtures, form. Huds at home and Everton playing fairly attacking football - 2 goals per game even down a man for a combined 70 minutes. Theo has a high involvement in their goals.

      Pedro a good pick as well, but I just don't see him starting every match in coming GWs.

      1. Mic
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        He sucks though

        1. Mic
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          BAN

        2. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          That's a compelling counter-argument.

        3. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Saw an interesting stat. He's been involved in a goal every 135 minutes or so in the PL.

          I've been burnt by him previously as well, but this opportunity is just too good to miss out on

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 days ago

            I've got Walcott as well (and my comment just above wasn't sarcastic, just to put my move into perspective!). My outlook is that I'm expecting disappointment and got him just for two games in order to get an easy price rise. If he does anything it's going to be a welcome surprise.

            1. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 6 days ago

              That's fair. Honestly I would be disappointed if he failed to have any returns in 2 home games against 2 very porous defences.
              Time will tell I guess.

              1. Pierce34
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 6 days ago

                I hope you're right. Pereyra is the one I really want from that price range, but I couldn't justify bringing him in with those fixtures.

                1. Licious Lizard
                  • 13 Years
                  8 years, 6 days ago

                  Yeah Pereyra looks good, but those are 3/4 very tough fixtures. Especially as it's only a short term punt, I didn't go for him.
                  Had my eye on Sessegnon as well, but he's not nailed either.

      2. gergin
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        combined 110 minutes...

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Bournemouth also played a man down from the 61' minute, so 70 is more accurate I would say.

    2. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I think Pedro, everyone else will say Walcott.

      Pedro is in a different strata in terms of underlying stats, and playing in a better side against opposition which don't just sit back (this weekend anyway). I also think he's just a better footballer, which always helps!

      Walcott's advantage could be simply that he has longer on pitch.

      1. Mic
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Exactly. If both start you wouldnt be surprised if Walcott blanked

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          If Pedro was nailed, I would go for him. But best case he plays 60-70 mins every match

          Bookies has Everton to score 2 goals at least and I think Walcott will be involved in most goals with Rich out.

          1. gergin
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 6 days ago

            Sigurdsson more likely than Walcot

            1. Licious Lizard

              Siggy has been unlucky not to be in the goals, I agree. But I think he's more likely to get assists or a rare FK goal. Plus 1m more, which most people can't afford for the Rich replacement..

            Fair enough - I'm just thinking that specifically Huddersfield might be a bit of a toughie for Walcott as they won't push high and leave space - which is how he got that goal at B'mouth.

            Granted, the FK against Southampton was a nice finish so he can score in a different manner... I just think Pedro could do some damage vs B'mouth even in 70 mins given how open they are.

            Obviously Walcott has West Ham after that, but that's 3 weeks away, so got to focus more on the imminent fixture IMO.

              You could of course be right. Again, I also think Pedro could get some points if he starts.
              My big worry would just be that Willian gets to start a game, as I really can't understand if he stayed to be benched every match. But yes, it will probably be an open game.
              Huds could be trying to stay compact at the back, but I just don't rate them very highly tbh. Once Everton gets a goal, they will have to try and push back a more, which will be excellent for a playmaker lige Siggy to find those can-opening passes.

              We'll see, who comes out on top after the next 2 weeks - it will be very interesting.

                And to you! Obviously I'll end up being wrong here and Walcott will bang a hatty 🙂

                  Honestly between these two, it can go either way. You just have to place your bets and watch the roulette spin.

      Walcott.

      You've cost yourself dearly not acting sooner

      1. JamTart
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        I feel that way as well having held off. But if he gets injured tomorrow night then it's the right decision to hold off

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years

          Just FYI: Richardson MIGHT drop tonight.

  19. The Legend Squad

    Need some help on this...

    A. Mane, Eriksen, Neves, Shaw

    B. Mitro, D.Silva, Walcott, Moura

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      B

    2. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      A has a defender while B does not??

      1. Ha.
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Are you Shaw?

      2. The Legend Squad

        4-4-2 vs 3-4-3

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          B then

    3. Debauchy

      B

  20. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Which move?
    (A) PvA to Alonso (play Wan-Bissaka [and Ings] to cover Richarlison)
    (B) Richarlison to Moura (bench Wan-Bissaka [or Ings])

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      B , Moura hitting straps , at the price is a must for me.

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Would prefer Rich > Wally, but A out of those.
      Alonso will get the points back long term at least.
      Moura has two difficult fixtures and is a huge risk after that with Lamela + Son back.

  21. Ohh1454

    WC team . Thoughts ?
    Hennessy (hamer )
    Mendy robbo Alonso shaw (awb)
    Mane miki Walcott (neves biling )
    Kane aguero zaha

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years

      Different, interesting take on a heavy defence and attack, actually quite like it!

      1. zotter
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Very good. At least while pool fixtures tough until GW9

        1. MattysFantasyFooty
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          They do get tougher but they’re title contenders so should expect them to score in these tougher fixtures especially with how threatening there attack is

          1. zotter
            • 17 Years
            8 years, 6 days ago

            But Mane can cover to a large extent imo. Benefit being you get Kane over say Firmino. Or Alonso over a 4.0

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Why have Shaw in a wildcard team ?

    3. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Kane over Salah? Not sure about that one.

    4. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I'd prefer a two-man attack with Kun and Kane, with 4.5 bench fodder and the 2.5m spent to strengthen the midfield.

  22. Miguel Sanchez
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Has anyone ever captained or better triple captained a player at a game they went to? I captained a Morata blank in a 5-0 home win...

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years

      Being at a Crystal Palace game with Benteke in my team was enough of an 'experience'...

  23. Waltomade

    Sorry repost
    Mkhitaryan or Walcott??

    1. zotter
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Mkhi. Just

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I'd prefer Mkhi 🙂

    3. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Mkhi

    4. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I have both
      If I had to choose one it would be Mkhi

  24. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    For those with Mane and Salah, who have you settled on or still waiting it out?

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Had both since GW1 shipped Mane this week on wc for hazard, salah is too consistent to not have imo

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        same, agree on Salah but will they end on similar at the end of the season?
        This is my fear

        1. MattysFantasyFooty
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Salah will outscore him fpl wise imo Mane always seems to be hit with injury at some point in the season

    2. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Coming round to the idea of Salaxit

    3. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Was just about to ask something similar. I'm thinking of doing one of them to Hazard for free.

      Would appreciate anyone's thoughts

    4. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I'm definitely dropping one of them soon, most likely Mane. But if they show signs of keeping it up, why not keep both? Highly owned, does massive damage to rank if you don't have em

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Mane was only in my team to offer flexibility after first couple of GWs. The fact he has been on fire is a bonus 🙂

    5. I Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Keeping Salah. Mane will make way for Hazard.

  25. the sultan
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    put mane on bench on gameweek 4 sound carzy yet??

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Yes that’s just silly

    2. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      There isn't an FPL team on this earth that is good enough to be able to bench Mane

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      As a 7 seasoner you should not need to ask

    4. Super John McGinn-
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Grow up.

  26. St. Joseph
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Firmino >> Kane (-4)

    Good or bad idea

    1. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Bad

    2. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Good, very good

      1. yakirh
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Maybe next week for free though

  27. Four Hit Wonder
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    I'd be happy with a goal and a 0.1 price rise from Walcott in next two GWs.

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      He's risen +21 today alone, so I think he might rise again before deadline. He certainly will rise after if he get's a goal against Huds.

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        *25

  28. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    I'm on a WC. Should I get a 5.0 playing 5th mid ( Like Neves or Kante) over a 4.5 mid (who will only get a max of 2 pts) if I have 4 good defenders, 4 good midfielders and 3 good strikers? The extra 0.5 might come in handy later if I want to bring in Kane

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I would

    2. MattysFantasyFooty
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I’m personally going with a 4.5 mid consider this how often will you actually play them? If often then go for it but I’d rather have the extra funds unless someone priced 5M in the near future becomes essential

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      You should get a 4.4 mid , or a 4.3 if becomes available
      You would have him 3rd on bench every week

    4. Whitetiger14
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Keep the change

  29. Whitetiger14
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Why is stankovic close to rising? Seems strange.

    1. BIind Moth
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      People want a 4m defender enabler and don't realise he's not nailed. Standard.

    2. A.T
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Some people playing WB every week may want 2, 4.0 defs. Best non playing is Stankovic due to his close to rising status.

    3. CL4PTRAP
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      FPL table sorts defenders based on total score by default, people look for a 4.0 due to budget, see he's top of the pop charts and they go for him. They also see he's played 1 out of 3 and think "he gets the next one". Not everyone spends time on these sites or twitter feeding information to us all. We know Zanka is back and playing again, they don't know as yet perhaps.
