Liverpool assets return to forefront of captaincy debate

Liverpool assets are expected to return to the forefront of the Fantasy Premier League captaincy debate for Blank Gameweek 33.

You can now vote in the latest poll embedded in the article below or in the sidebar of our website.

After being shelved by many for their solitary fixture in Double Gameweek 32, a trip to Southampton on Friday night is a lot more appealing for Jurgen Klopp’s men.

The Saints have just one clean sheet at home since Gameweek 11 which should help interest in the Reds’ attacking assets, even if they have just two goals in their last three away matches and have netted more than one in just one of their last six road trips.

It will be interesting to see what backing Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) can achieve in the poll as he has mustered just two assists since Gameweek 27.

Sadio Mané (£10.0m) remains in much better form than the Egyptian over recent weeks, with three double-figure hauls in his last six outings, but he is still owned by fewer managers, which could affect the vote.

Outside of Liverpool, Chelsea options probably look the most appealing.

Eden Hazard (£11.0m) secured a 15-point haul in Double Gameweek 32 ahead of West Ham’s visit to Stamford Bridge.

The Hammers are in a very poor run of form with injuries plaguing every area of the team too.

Particularly struggling to trouble opposition defences right now, Manuel Pellegrini’s men might even inspire some differential captain interest in the likes of David Luiz (£6.0m) or Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.3m).

However, with both Liverpool and Chelsea showing some patchy form of late, this could be an opportunity for Fantasy managers chasing leads to look elsewhere.

Reinvigorated Leicester City travel to already relegated Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon with Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.1m) the form options.

Bournemouth also have an appealing fixture against Burnley at the Vitality Stadium, where Ryan Fraser (£6.2m), Josh King (£6.5m) and Callum Wilson (£6.5m) have all recorded the majority of their attacking returns this season.

    I currently have 10 players for the BGW, no playing GK. What should i do with my 1 FT?

    A) Get Kepa to field a full squad
    B) Fanderson to Maddison/Tielemans
    C) Higuain to Laca
    D) Do a combination of the above (-4)

      As a Fanderson owner also I I'm transferring out this week for maddison/tielmans, watching his and west hams performances of late doesn't instill any confidence whatsoever that he will return points away to Chelsea!

    Hello guys,
    Need to get some opinions.
    As we've seen Defender's tend to get more points in dgw's. I'm thinking about spending a bit on defense on WC & it does not affect me my wished Attacking player's.

    So is it too much to have this defense for the last 6 gw's ??

    Robbo Taa Laporte Duffy Kolasinac

    Can downgrade Duffy to Valery after gw 35.

      The more I think of it I think I will go hazard it is very close between him and Mane now.
      It all depends on Sarri does he realise he has played the proper team with the energy of RLC and CHO?
      They look a different team with those two in it.

    Ryan-Fraser
    Bennett-Valery-Kolasinac-Duffy-Dunk
    Sterling-Son-Eriksen-Doucoure-Mane
    Aguero-Jimenez-Lacazette

    Doucoure can be changed to Deulofeu if I need to make changes elsewhere.
    I am not too keen on any of the man united options as they seem a bit in flux now.
    Very dependent on Brighton nicking a cleanie - or attacking threat/save/points

    Worth it to transfer King out for GW 35 and bring in Laca (no WC)? King has some form at home and Fulham is about as good as it gets for a fixture, although Laca has a DGW. Not sure he will play both though. Any thoughts? The two other strikers for GW 35 in my team will be Kane and Jimenez.
