Captain Sensible – Aguero the runaway poll leader in Gameweek 9

2,053 Comments

It’s a welcome return for our Captain Sensible article as the return of Fantasy Premier League action is now very close.

The second international break of the season has given us plenty of time to weigh up our skipper decisions for Gameweek 9.

As per usual, Sergio Aguero, Eden Hazard and Mohamed Salah all figure in the debate. We’ll be looking at the results of our poll as well as the underlying data behind the options themselves, their teams and their respective Gameweek 9 opposition.

Captain Poll

Not for the first time this season, Sergio Aguero (£11.3m) is the runaway leader of the captain poll. At the time of writing, the Manchester City striker boasts a 44.69% share of the vote and was considerably clear of second-placed Eden Hazard (£11.3m).

The Chelsea man has just under 13% backing thus far. Both he and Aguero may have been boosted by the fact that Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) is an injury doubt for Gameweek 9 when it came to the voting process.

Hazard especially has also been more reliable than the Egyptian this season and leads his rival on goal involvements by a score of ten to five. That is why the easier fixture for Salah is not so enticing, even if Hazard is facing Manchester United.

Interestingly, Raheem Sterling (£11.2m) is still yet to trouble this season’s big three. He sits fourth in the vote with a little under 7% of the votes in our poll, despite blanking in just one of his Premier League appearances in 2018/19 and outscoring Aguero in every home match. That could indicate that many of those who participated in the poll are struggling to fit him into their squads given their current structure and are looking elsewhere for the captaincy.

Alexandre Lacazette‘s (£9.7m) recent form has him hot on Sterling’s trail in the captain poll. He currently edges Harry Kane‘s (£12.5m) 4.55% share of the vote with a backing of 4.63% at the time of writing.

Surprisingly, up next is Marcos Alonso (£7.0m) whose 2.48% score is nearly more than double that of Alexandar Mitrovic (£6.9m), Callum Wilson (£6.4m) and Richarlison (£6.8m).

    Fraser (when is the presser?) & Ings > Højbjerg, Mitro
    Both Fraser and Ings good pics IMO, so could backfire. The latter is SOT's "main man" and on pens. Less bench headache though.
    Good moves if Fraser is out? Other suggestions, please? Cheers.

    Tinkering with possible wild card team to get in on Salah and City hauls (hopefully). Big guestion is whether to go with Sterling or Agüero - kiind of scared gping without Kun afte reading the Captain Sensible article.... But then I kind of like my team with Sterling in, so which would you prefer:

    The Aguero team:

    Patricio Hamer
    Robertson TAA Alsonso Doherty WBA
    Salah Hazard Maddison Richarlison Stephens
    Agüero Mitro Ings

    or the Sterling team:

    Patricio Hamer
    Robertson TAA Lascelles Doherty WBA
    Salah Hazard Sterling (Rich/Maddi) Stephens
    Vardy Mitro Ings

    possibly changing Rich/Maddi + Lascelles -> Mendy + Fraser/Knockaert

    I guess its not much to choose between Sterling and Kun, so really depends whether Vardy will deliver. And with the Agüero team, it's easier to switch another in form striker.

    Cheers!

      I've gone off Kun, Pep really really likes taking him off after 60 mins, and that severely dents his captain potential, also considering he's an 11+m player he should be playing 90 for me

        If that trend contiinues, I tend to agree. But two weeks rest now, and Sterling might be rested after playing 180 minutes in IB. So for this GW only, I'd lean towards Kun, but on a wild card one has to look at the longer term.

        Vardy in for the fixtures, and he has been quite consistent so far this season. Robertson couild also become Mendy, but I see a string of cs's for Liverpool for their easy run, and TAA such good value.

    I'm torn here - have two options:

    I want to make Kane and Fraser out for free to:

    A) Salah and Wilson: (c) Salah in 9&10, Kun in 11

    B) Sterling and Wilson: (c) Kun in 9&11, Hazard in 10

    Sterling would mean no Pool attackers but also mean that I can easily upgrade Trippier to Robo/Mendy or Wilson to Arnautovic in following weeks (Want Wilson for next 2/3 games)

    ?

      Play the slightly longer game. Sterling is on fire and gives you infinitely more options across your team. If Salah was a clear captain choice then he might be worth entertaining, but he's not. Which makes him a 12.7m brick

          Salah will probably return points, you have to accept this. But it is likely sterling will return anywhere + or - 50% of Salah returns. Salah owners will be struggling to take advantage of emerging properties precisely at a time when certain teams have big up or downturns in their fixtures.

          I'm going to buy the bullet and accept I won't get his returns because I think it's best for my team over 3-5 weeks

            We will see who is right! We've had 2 weeks to debate this. I'm hopping on the Salah train once we have the expected confirmation that he's fit from Klopp.

              I think it'll be very difficult to actually measure who is right unless there is a stupendous range (e.g Salah hits a hatrick, Sterling blanks and Kun disappoints as captain). I think it's more likely the margins will be finer and it'll be trickier to tease out the overall benefit of with /without

    I have a question 🙂

    When people answer on this great site, do they often (subconsciously perhaps) answer based on their own team trying to convince themselves that they have made the right choice?

    I understand that their team is players they often like but I also think when it’s a close call people just say their own players even if they are not fully convinced themselves. I think the same happens with Captain picks

      No. Most of the time my team isn’t set up how I’d like it 100%. I try to think of others choices as if they were my own. E.g would I want to make that transfer, would I prefer to have A or B if you see what I’m saying.

      Great question, no doubt human nature will want to give an answer that re-confirms your decisions, however if I see something that I feel is either wrong or needs debating I will often answer a question with the hope to provoke a discussion.

      It's a good question...you see it more in pre-season when people are posting RMTs, you'll see someone reply to a RMT and say something like 'change these two players to these two players' and then when they post their RMT below, it's basically the same team.

      But at this stage of the season I think the regular posters are knowledgeably enough to give impartial advice.

      Sorry but, you simply cannot win with the 2 default negative categories round here:
      I see the "old guard" complaining that shots/shots on target/big chances are meaningless metrics if (by definition, in contradiction) players aren't converting enough to be classified as "unsustainably overperforming".

      Seems to me we only like to classify players as "poor finishers" or "overperforming".

      Examples of two (imo myths) circulating this week:
      -Jiminez has stats to die for but gets slated as "will never explode" for being a poor finisher but, if a player doesn't have the stats and scores, he's "overperforming".
      -Hazard "is bound to regress as he's outperforming xG" but (for me) this isn't overperforming simply, he is making the most of being redeployed in a team which now only aims to create big chances and, 1 on 1 finishing there aren't many better midfielders.

      tl;dr: Stop being A) so negative about player underperformance, as you wouldn't buy a player without stats and B) so negative about overperformance of some of the worlds best players, purple seasons happen - Look at Salah 17/18.

          Yeah long term it’s obviously a great transfer but in order to break even TAA needs to keep a clean sheet (which I think he will) it’s just whether he or WB does anything else which is the risk

        HAve him in my wc tram atm, and am a bit worried. Think he edges Kun in the long term though, just perhaps not this GW.

        I agree. Still have him on my WC though. He's a long-term buy for me and I have Maddison on the bench so not too worried.

        Interestingly, Man City had Burnley in this exact GW9 last year. Sterling was benched!
