Captain Poll

Vote in the Blank Gameweek 28 captain poll

Liverpool options dominate the captain poll once again as Blank Gameweek 28 rolls around.

You can now cast your vote below or on the sidebar of the website.

Fresh from scoring in the 3-2 win over West Ham, Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) has raced into another early lead, already earning the support of 44.6%.

Upcoming opponents Watford have let their guard down a little since the new-manager-bounce of Nigel Pearson wore off.

In their last four matches, the Hornets have conceded at least two goals on three occasions, while Liverpool and Salah are in the scoring mood.

The Egyptian has found the net four times since Gameweek 24, more than any of his colleagues.

However, Sadio Mané (£12.3m), who netted against West Ham and could have scored a double-figure haul were it not for VAR, is also in the armband discussion.

The Senegalese international has more away goals in the league than Salah this season and has registered back-to-back strikes since returning from injury in Gameweek 26.

That has earned Mané 12.1% backing in the captain poll, good enough for third place so far.

However, Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) is the man to take up second place so far, as Leicester prepare to face Norwich.

Admittedly, the centre-forward has now blanked in each of his last five matches, but his backers appear to be encouraged by the prospect of the Canaries’ defence.

Despite some recent improvements Daniel Farke’s men were brushed aside 3-0 by Wolves in Gameweek 27, suggesting they could be just as obliging against Leicester.

Interesting differentials at this point include Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m), who still hasn’t blanked in a league match he started since Gameweek 13, while Harvey Barnes (£6.0m), despite his Gameweek 27 benching, could be the most likely to score for Leicester at Carrow Road.

    Which one?

    A) Grealish > Barnes for free. Gives me 11, no subs.

    B) KDB & Lundstram > Bruno & Robbo (-4) gives me 11 + 1 sub.

    1. Jay Arell

    Hi all, will you sell alli for barnes or maddison ? Since lei has easier fixtures coming up

    Nt getting vardy cause i just dont wantto give up firmino. Good choice or meh?

    1. Hiddenpaw
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I might be in the minority but I thought Bobby was awful yesterday. Fluffed every shot. I’d get vardy in.

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Had a lot of big chances tho, could easily have scored a couple

  7. Joe_Carman
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan
    TAA, Robertson, Taylor, Kelly
    Mane, Traore, Bruno
    Vardy, DCL, Ings

    Button, Lundy, KDB, Saka

    With Lundstram, KDB and Saka without a game and Kelly unlikely to start, is it worth taking a 4-point hit to bring in either Soy or Boly for him? (I already used my FT to swap out Son for Bruno)

    Any helps appreciated!

  8. Pep Roulette

    Kun, Traore & Stevens to Vardy, Bruno & Boly for -4? Gives me this team!

    Walker 2 assists in 21 appearances
    Pereira 2 assists in 26 appearances
    AWB 2 assists in 24 appearances
    Aurier 6 assists in 22 appearances

    Total of 12 assists in 93 appearances

    ..step up TAA with 14 assists in 27 appearances

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      He is pure gold isn't he?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Giggs has a record of 162 assists. TAA needs 134 more in probably 14 years (up until 35 years old) to beat that record - which would be 9.5 assists a season here on in - that's assuming the season finished today!

        1. Stormbringer22
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Also assuming Trent stays in Pool for his career. I really hope he does - he will become a greater legend than Stevie G

          1. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            He'll already be a greater than Gerrard after this season since he's almost won a PL title. 😉

            1. Stormbringer22
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              4 more games! Then it is a fact 😉

              1. Rolls-Royce
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                See, it's not hard to better than Gerrard. Fat Anderson did that sitting on the bench. 😛

        2. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Giggs has 13 PL titles- stat that matter the most. It will take TAA's grandsons achieve that.

          1. XabiAlonso
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Going by that logic he will have to wait for 3 titles untill he is better than David May. You judge teams by titles not individual players

          2. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            TAA still gets on with his brother, Giggs never will!

            1. Rolls-Royce
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Lol. Clearly, bitter pool fans will argue at all costs. Hilarious.

              1. goriuanx
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Bitter? You're the one mentioning titles and Gerrard.. I merely mentioned what TAA needs to do to become the all time assist leader 🙂

                1. Rolls-Royce
                  • 10 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  If Barcelona/Real Madrid comes knocking for him, it will be difficult to keep him in PL for sure.

        3. Lazaretti
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Evolution of the game might affect how many assits he will get. Opponents need to react to stop him. Of course he still have set pieces corners

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's a stunning stat
      Were lucky to have him....nearly all our creativity comes from the wings

    3. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Incredible. He's gone past the point of being essential on FPL. Now you should delete your team if you don't own him.

      1. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 13 Years

        I sold him in GW3 then wildcarded immediately after to bring him back in lmao

        Or... buy him?

      Walker + Pereira + AWB = Aurier, got it

      • 10 Years

      Guy is next level, will prob finish season with another 3/4 assists could be near 20 lmao

  10. The Legend Squad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Auba to Vardy for the blank?

    Can’t see why not. If Vardy goes mad, with the fixtures ahead I will want to keep him. If Vardy blanks, it’s an easy transfer to reverse.

    Thoughts?

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Think I'm doing the same. Only worried that I haven't seen Leicester recently so don't know if vardy's form is real slump or more unlucky

          He should have buried it. He's lacking confidence but he'll never stop trying.

  14. Fit_to_drop

    This tempt anyone?

    Grealish Jiminez for Bruno Fernandes Jota

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep I can see the latter two combined scoring more points

    2. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would leave Jimenez but Bruno is a good move

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This but doubt he can afford Bruno without that move.

          Correct - thats how Im able to afford Bruno

    I’ve got 11 playing next week, I’ve thinking of 2 options
    A) Stevens to Doherty - means I would have 12 playing
    B) Mooy to Barnes - means I would have 11 and no bench.
    Thanks

    1. NotsoSpursy

      Barnes is a great shout. Depends on your team and if you think all will start

    2. What formation are you playing?

      2. will depend on signings

    3. Make Arrows Green Again

          Liverpool aside, which team has the momentum?

          I would say Arsenal irrespective of their troubled defence. Looks like Arteta has the players under control and ain't listening to excuses. They are definitely a different team under Arteta.

            Arsenal for sure. Wolves, and Man Utd to an extent as well.

            Everton.
            DCL & Richarlison are flying.

              yep. shame about the fixtures

              Apologies. Of course Everton!! They are probably the most impressive team after Pool at the moment

            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Arsenal, Wolves, Burnley, maybe Everton too,

            Ik thats 4 but couldn't decide on just 1

            I dont know how much relevant this stat is but they have done well in February in previous seasons when it comes to scoring goals.

            Nothing special in March.

          Auba at 99.9 on FPLStats despite a blank. Surely many ways of playing this game right?

            Can imagine there's a lot of casual free-hitters or people playing their wildcard looking to gain some value on him then sell

              • 5 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              No it shows that people are buying him in for this week

            Time to take the profit and run away? 😉

            It's annoying I've got just 0.1m to play with to get him after the blank, I'd like to wait to see if there is a DGW first but looks like I will be priced out by then

        5. Lazaretti

          Any news how badly Jonny got injured?

            It was just a nasty challenge not to similar to the Lo Celso one but there wasnt intent in it.

          Shame everyone is getting Barnes. I got him on WC in GW25 when he has 0.1% ownership

            It's points that counts not looking for somebody that no-one else has. If they get points everone jumps on them

            1. Coys96
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Yes but you need some good diffs too in order to climb the ranks. Its about getting players early just as they hit top form

          2. DAZZ
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Congratulations on that mate.

            He's 2.8% owned now. Still a huge differential.

              5.1% in top 10k too

          Why is Barnes so much more popular pick than Perez can I ask?

          Am I missing something?

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Cheaper, gets more minutes with better form and lower ownership

            do people already have plans for wc fh bb etc ?

            there seems to be more dgw and bgw this season and I find it hard to keep track even with ben crellin twitter account 🙂

            1. Coys96
              • 6 Years

              FH 31
              BB & TC during DGWs (probs 34&37)

              Used WC

            2. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Nope, will play normally till double fixtures are announced.

              As long as you have WC, don't overthink. Just target next 3-4 GWs.

            3. I Member

              Probably BB 37. Not sure when I'll use WC and FH.

            Plans, what plans?! 😀

              It will lessen the effectiveness since most people would do that I reckon.
