Captain Poll

Vote in the FPL Gameweek 30 captain poll

Fantasy Football Scout users can now vote in the captain poll for Gameweek 30, either in the side-bar or at the footer of this article.

The upcoming armband debate is expected to be another interesting one with a number of fixtures available to target.

Harry Kane (£11.6m) and Spurs will certainly fancy their chances of finding the net at Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.

The Magpies conceded three times in a morale-damaging defeat to Brighton last time out while Jose Mourinho’s men were 2-0 winners at Aston Villa.

Still, will Spurs’ problems on the road this season cause a problem again? After netting 11 goals in their first two away matches this season, they have scored 13 times in the subsequent 13, one per match.

Liverpool and Manchester City assets have been regular fixtures on the captaincy radar over the last few seasons but Gameweek 30 is unlikely to see many of their representatives vying for the armband.

The Reds face a trip to Arsenal, while Manchester City visit a third-placed Leicester City, who could have some of their key men back in the fold by then.

Accordingly, some Fantasy managers may turn to Chelsea as they host relegation-threatened West Bromwich Albion.

That said, the fixture is perhaps less appealing in reality as it appears on paper.

Chelsea have scored three goals across their last four matches, including blanks against Manchester United and Leeds.

Meanwhile, the Baggies have tightened things up at the back. Three of their five clean sheets this season have come in the last five matches, in which West Brom have conceded just two goals.

Elsewhere, Manchester United host a Brighton side with a point to prove about their expected goals, West Ham’s in-form attackers go to Wolves and Leeds host Sheffield United.

Make sure you cast your vote in the latest poll below. Our full data analysis on the Gameweek 30 captaincy, the Captain Sensible article, will be published later this week.

    Assuming the cup final does indeed create another DGW and nothing else throws things out there are only 8 teams that can't get a DGW here on in

    Brighton
    Burnley
    Leeds
    Liverpool
    SHU
    WBA
    West Ham
    Wolves

    Reply fail to no one but thought it was interesting anyway 🙂

      Any matches that clash with the Cup Final can be moved to midweek and remain in GW37.

        Gah miscalculated - had thought GW36 was cup final day so my list wouldn't work anyway.

        Does the midweek following 37 still fall in 37? GW36 is the Tuesday Wednesday immediately preceding it so that date isn't vacant.

          It's before the GW38 deadline.

            Ah - that makes sense. Ty

            (Had been vaguely wondering about the worth of holding Martinez for a DGW when any number of teams could get a DGW in the same week - 35)

    Sell any two:
    A. Digne (Unreliable for Cs)
    B. Cancelo (Rotation risk)
    C. White (Poor fixtures)

    Buy any two:
    1. Alonso(High ceiling but rotation risk)
    2. Azpi (Most nailed on + Bonus magnet)
    3. Rudiger(Great value + 90% nailed)

    Martinez 3.9
    Cancelo Dias Digne White Struijk
    Salah Bruno Lingard Gundo Raphinha
    Kane Antonio Watkins

      White and Digne for Azpi and Rudiger

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Although I'm really not a fan of removing Digne before Palace (H), inconsistent as Everton are.

          I’ve got Digne and thinking of moving to Rudgier this week!! Palace at home on paper looks great but I had him for the home games against Newcastle, Fulham and Burnley which looked equally fantastic but Everton lost all 3 games and conceded 2 in each game aswell!!!

            I've played him for three matches - Southampton (H) West Brom (A) Burnley (H) and got two cleans out of three so my memories may be happier than yours!

            You get Digne for 2 reasons so Maybe keep. Depends if you WC 31

  3. SpaceCadet

    When’s a better time to play the BB chip? This gw with a bench full of West Ham players or wait for the dgws?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      When all your players are likely to play. Arsenal and citeh make sure there is a 5 day rest

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years

        Cheers mate. Would you BB this or wait for the dgws?

      No

  8. JJeyy

    Who scores more from now until end of Season, Shaw or Azpi?

    Those who still have their FH, when are you planning on playing it?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Maybe

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Blank 33, DGW or GW38 are probably the most popular.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Thanks for this. Didn't even know there were blanks in 33.

  10. La Roja
    • 12 Years

    Ozan scores.

    Turkey 1 - 0 Norway

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Not Kabak, just to mention

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Yeah, Kabak benched as he was ill for couple of days

  11. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Do you think Jota will be in XI with Firmino back? They played quite good with Firmino behind Salah and Mane/Jota on flanks.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Yes

    If you could have only one Chelsea player for gw30, who would that be?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Alonso

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Azpi

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Alonso

  15. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Picking Alonso over Azpi for my GW25 wildcard has been costly so far but I'm hoping he might pull back some points for me this weekend. I'm also looking at a Havertz punt.

    1. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Do you think he will start ahead of Chilwell?

      Could be fantastic if he does.

      1. Jimmy Boy
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Seems that Chelsea fans and most on here think Alonso will start this game, I'll be disappointed but not surprised if he doesn't.

    Evening all, hope your enjoying the break

    I’m set on bringing raphinia into my team this week.. great fixture and with no wc I’m looking to bring in players who I’m happy to keep until seasons end

    Question is who would you lose first

    A. Bale
    B. Souceck

    I just have a feeling bale might start against Newcastle and have a point to prove, either that or he flops and is removed next week for jota

    What do you think?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Don't overthink it. Get rid of Bale! I just did.
