Captain Poll

Vote in the FPL Gameweek 30 captain poll

Liverpool options are expected to return to the forefront of the captaincy debate for Gameweek 30.

You can now vote in the latest poll either in the footer below or in the sidebar of our website.

The Reds travel to Everton, who have been producing some shaky defensive performances of late and, of course, Jurgen Klopp’s men are on the verge of clinching their first-ever Premier League title.

Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) and Sadio Mané (£12.4m) both scored in their last outings although the latter was the higher scorer with a goal and assist contributing to a 13-point score.

The Senegalese international has proved the slightly more reliable asset on the road this season, scoring five times and assisting another three goals.

However, Salah is not exactly far behind his colleague for overall goal involvement, registering seven attacking returns from two of his own goals and five assists.

Even Roberto Firmino (£9.6m) could find himself in the conversation considering that he remains Liverpool’s top-scoring player on the road this season.

Despite Everton’s poor results of late, there may be some Fantasy managers uneasy about the nature of a Merseyside derby, especially with a Premier League title on the line.

For those wondering if the Toffees will up their game to avoid Liverpool winning the league at Goodison Park, Bruno Fernandes (£8.5m) could be the answer.

Manchester United’s creative midfielder has now delivered for four matches in a row since blanking on his Premier League debut and faces a poor Spurs defence in Gameweek 30.

Jose Mourinho’s men have kept just one clean sheet at home since Gameweek 17, conceding at least twice in three of their last four.

That could also be good news for Anthony Martial (£7.9m) has three goals in that same period – which also benefits Fernandes as Manchester United’s architect.

Whether or not Pierre-Emerick Aunbameyang (£11.1m) features heavily in the Gameweek 30 captaincy debate will depend on how he gets on against Manchester City midweek.

The Arsenal man produced a hugely disappointing blank against West Ham at the weekend but will have another bite at the Double Gameweek 29 cherry before Fantasy managers have to make a decision about Gameweek 30.

That’s when Arsenal travel to Brighton, who stemmed the tide against relegation after closing out a hard-fought 0-0 draw at Wolves on Saturday.

Chelsea options might find themselves in the captaincy conversation this week as they prepare to visit Aston Villa.

Dean Smith’s men found new ways of defending poorly against Leicester on Monday night, suggesting another thrashing is in store.

However, pinning down a specific Chelsea asset both for security of starts and form might prove difficult.

Maybe Marcos Alonso (£6.1m) is the one to consider with Villa’s offensive capabilities dwindling and the left-back himself scoring three goals since Gameweek 27.

Manchester City assets may prove to be a similar conundrum. They host Burnley in Gameweek 30 but we won’t know too much about who might start until after they face Arsenal on Wednesday.

          Better ask Frank 🙂

  10. Oggle22

    Sickening if KDB doesn't play tomorrow after a Perez no show I have a bench of
    Mount 6 Holgate -1 Lundstarm 12

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pictured in full training looking fine so its likely he will get 60 mins I'd have thought but who knows

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Pep doesn't know if he will be ready, so very much doubt he gets risked with Madrid coming up

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Is he just chatting shite though

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Don't know what to make of it tbh , but the league is done so why take the chance?

            1. Bubz
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I wouldve thought he'd want KDB to get some minutes in vs Arsenal, then maybe a bench appearance vs Burnley in prep for Madrid

          2. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Of course. How can he not know.

  11. Steve McCroskey

    Help appreciated, trying to build up a team for bgw 31. Which of these do you prefer:

    A. Vardy > Jimenez
    B. Holgate & Barnes > Tanganga & Sarr (for free)

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Gotta keep Barnes and Vardy vs Watford this week surely

    2. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A out of them. But agree would keep both.

      1. Steve McCroskey
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Need to burn a transfer somewhere

        1. Bucket Man
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          A then for me but tight call.

  12. Holmes

    Obvious and logical captains aren't working for me, time to try someone out of box!

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good week to do it

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

        Yep

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I tried out of the box with Pepe -.-

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

        Worked well then, outscoring Aubameyang! 😎

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

          Out of the box you said ..
          😉

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'd love to captain a chelsea player. As it is, think I'll bore off with Salah

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

        C'mon, time to have some fun 😀

  13. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I’m tempted with Vardy or KDB captain.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All depends on KDB fitness

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

      Would be wary of captaining a City player when they have Madrid midweek

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Tire

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          True

  14. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Depending on KDB news, thoughts?

    KDB & Maddy > Mane & Barnes/another mid?

    Cap either S&M or Alonso/Bruno.........

    Pope

    Trent, Alonso, Boly
    Salah, Sarr, Bruno, KDB
    Jota, Jimenez, Vardy

    McCarthy, Maddison, Soy, Taylor

    1.8

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Think KDB will be ok but if not that looks a good move. Probably Sarr would be the Mane I’d get.

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

      Good moves

      Mate, good shout on Traore >> Mount. Does give a nasty benching headache though. Hmm

  16. Sike
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Guys..

    Adama+Ings TO Jota +Sarr?

    -4

    I do not have Free-hit

    1. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me. Ings has a good game.

      1. Sike
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Norwich improving though!

        They need to go all out

      2. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Norwich away? .... so are you recommending holding Auba for gw32 and Norwich home

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

    Would you prefer Triple Captain chip or Two Captains chip where we select two captain?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Two captain

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      double captain would be good - though we will still want to horde it for a dgw

  18. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Safe to get Giroud in?

    1. FPL ElasticO
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, if you are all set for GW 31 as Chelsea will blank....

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

      Yes but not sure about his points potential

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

        Could be good - has had a couple of goals disallowed - 1 goal last week, 1 assist the week before

        Feel he's been getting use to playing again, so he could be fully tuned up for Villa

  19. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth benching DCL for Sarr this week?? Or bench someone else from this lot??

    TAA/ Robbo/ Stevens/ Doherty

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

      Stevens might bench himself

  20. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What is the % chance that the Premier league season doesn’t get completed due to Corona Virus and thus Liverpool don’t win the league? (Ie season is declared incomplete and thus ‘no winner’).

    Has to be greater than 0% now given if they suspend like in Italy given the Euros in the summer there isn’t really anywhere to rearrange to. Yes Liverpool are miles ahead so could just declare them winners/ current table as final but that is hugely controversial for relegation and so can’t see it being possible to do this for one end of the table and not the other.

    Thoughts?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      see below about chips..
      i am thinking about using all my chips in next 3 GWs and take advantages due to uncertainties

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Are you honestly expecting the Euro’s to go ahead if the leagues are cancelled?

      Euro’s might get moved to 2021 given extra time to complete all competitions this season, if most are going to have to take a month or so off.

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

        No - But I’m saying that if there is football to be played over the summer it will likely be Euros not rearranged premier league games

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

          A multi-City hosted Euro’s, perfect time to play it.

        2. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Nope it could very well bd rearranged league games. It's just not the Premier league.

          It's sensible to postpone Euro for 2021.

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      BREAKING: Several European Federations have asked UEFA to postpone EURO 2020 by one year in order to complete their League championships.

      The idea is currently being considered by UEFA.

      Settle it in one mega GW on a completely isolate place. Perhaps Chedworth.

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do you realise what will happen if the EPL season is cancelled now?

      How many points do Liverpool need to win the League :-O

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

        I do indeed - hence the question of whether it is possible which no one has actually commented on yet.

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

          Of course it’s possible.

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

            You’re a Liverpool fan aren’t you 🙂

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

              Everything has a 50/50 possibility 🙂

              1. FOO FIGHTER
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Like KDB getting his 1 point tomorrow night.

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

                  1 > 0.

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          FA will not cancel the season.

          More chances of you catching the coronavirus.

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

            🙂 ... so he should really be asking will he survive to see the end of the season

  21. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If league is suspend.. how about chips??
    those who already used all chips has advantages right?

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

      Only if season is stopped and not completed

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

      Season null and void for us as well.

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If league is suspended wouldn't FPL be suspended too?

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Suspended I don't believe but with no spectators... quite possible. And that also change team dynamics

  22. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Webster > Saiss (already have Boly)

    Would mean I have 8 DGW players although I do have my free hit still available.

      Might be better off just getting a 4.5m or cheaper mid and reinvesting elsewhere if they’re the best options.

      Cantwell

        Saka?

      I'd go Barkley - great fixtures, on form etc.

    This week has been a disaster for me as I used my WC, dropped McCarthy and Vardy and gambled on Pepe Auba and Saka. Lesson learned now.
    Dropped from 20k to 35k.

    Need your help here guys as I have 9 gw31 players, and the plan was to save and get 2 more next week, but after that horror show I’m not sure what to do:
    1) Pepe-> Fernandes (will have 10players for gw31)
    2) Pepe-> Chelsea mid (10players for gw31)
    3) save as per the plan
    4) KdB Gomez -> mane Tanganga

    Krul
    Taa Doherty Cathcart
    Salah KdB Pepe Doucoure
    Auba Dcl Jota

    Pope. Saka, Taylor, Gomez

      Dropping from 25k to 35k is not the end of the world when you are probably +- 10 points from 10k.

      If KDB does not feature vs Burnley then start worrying.

    Traore and/or Firmino owners. What is your exit strategy? Any of you sticking?

    1. Sike

      I own Traoré

      Thinking Traoré and Ings to Sarr and Jota for a hit this week

      Sets up nicely for 31

    2. Holmes

      I'm not really sure. Is it better to take his possible one pt in 31 or change him to Doherty/Jota for a hit.

      not interested in how people who did so have actually done it?

      I got rid of Bobby first, in a swap with Son to Jimenez and Mane
      Traore then went for Sarr so that I could bring in Jota as my 3rd Wolves spot

    Ings > Jimenez
    or
    Madison > Sarr
    or both?

      Both if both are for free. Otherwise Maddison out first
