Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers have three main captain candidates for Gameweek 6, with Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m), Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and Michail Antonio (£7.9m) all in the conversation.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 6 captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 BST deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

Ronaldo dominates the vote so far.

The Portuguese forward, who has produced four goals in three starts since re-signing for Manchester United, has gained 47.57% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Meanwhile, second-placed Salah has received 27.72% of votes ahead of his away match against Brentford.

Antonio occupies third place with 7.98%, with the top-five list completed by Romelu Lukaku (£11.6m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m), with 3.52% and 2.35% respectively.

MOHAMED SALAH AND SADIO MANE

HOW HAS CAPTAIN SENSIBLE PERFORMED SO FAR THIS SEASON?

    best midfielder for 6.1?

    1. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Sarr (not my personal choice, but popular) I would definitely have Gray!

  2. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Madness to consider Bamford > Antonio for a hit and give him the (c) or just stick with what I have and let Christensen cover?

    Sanchez

    TAA, Coady, Duffy

    Salah, Jota, Sarr, Traore

    Ronaldo, Jimenez, Bamford

    Subs: Christensen, Dier, Mendy

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Stick

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Stick and captain CR7

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      But play Christensen over Coady

    4. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Ta lads.

    5. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't mind the hit as a long term move, but would still cap Ron.

    6. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Why roll blank dice when you need a 5?

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I like the odd punt.

    TAA Shaw Christensen Ayling Amartey
    Salah Greenwood* Jota Benrahma Brownhill

  4. C_G

    Sanchez Steele

    Shaw TAA White Williams Marcal

    Salah Jota Benny Raph Allan

    i'm getting rid of bruno and obafemi to bring in ronaldo + 6.1m midfielder.

    whats the best 6.1 midfielder? Sarr?

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yes Sarr, Gray, Gallagher. In that order IMO

  6. Chilli Heatwave
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    How do you feel about captaining a player playing your own team? Do you see it as damage limitation I.e. if you lose you get points, or do you consider a no go area.

    Personally struggle with the idea, hence not captaining Ronaldo, probably, this week.

    1. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      come again?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 9 months ago

        The team he supports in real life I'm assuming

      2. Chilli Heatwave
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        United play villa, as a fan I don’t want to captain him (Ronaldo) as betting against us. Just wondering people’s general thoughts on that matter.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          You're just complicating things. The Pro Pundits here have their own teams (Az Brighton, Seb Leeds, Sam and her hubby rival teams etc).

        2. 2001: A Space Origi
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          I see, you have to play with your head, not your heart in these matters. If you captain him and scores 3, woo hoo...
          If he blanks and Villa win, Woo hoo.... it's a win/win situation..

        3. Hint
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          As a Villa fan I got over that pretty quickly when we were absolute dogturd for several seasons before relegation.

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Got to play this game without emotions and do it.

  7. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Do we know if Foster will start?

  8. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Do you think Pickford starts given Rafa's comments?

    1. dansully3
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

  9. Spurrsy
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Raphina & Jimenez out for Sarr and Antonio for -4 (won't  be able to do this next week with Sarr price rise) or just roll 2FT into week 7

    1. dansully3
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely

  10. Johnny too hotty
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    anyone on a WC this week and want to share their team with me?

    sanchez
    trent livramento alonso dufft

    steele white gilmour scarleet

  11. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Play Semedo or Bamford to Antonio (-4)?

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Exact same situation. Might do the transfer.

  12. Boxwoods
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Interesting that Cancelo was close to a price rise on fplstats most of the week, and now showing halfway to a drop.

  13. Philip Jones's Diary
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Does anyone know when Leeds train? And if so, is it likely anyone will be able to give us info on whether Raphina trains or not?

  14. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    My friend has 2 FTs and is playing BB!

    Raya Begovic
    TAA Dias Shaw Coady Livramento
    Bruno Jota Gray Benrahma Allan
    Ronaldo(C) Antonio Toney

    A. Play Begovic
    B. Begovic to Foster

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      B

  15. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Bamford > Antonio for free?

    1. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      errr... YES, now!

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Did it!

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      The easiest transfer you'll make all season imo.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Don’t know why I even asked tbh

    3. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      What are you waiting for!?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Haha

        1. MagicMessi
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Haha we both know youll do it sooner or later i did it for and iam happy -4 😀

    4. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

  16. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    If playing WC in week 8 would you just switch Raphinha to Sarr on free for next 2 to avoid the “ will he or won’t he play” or with Semedo first on bench would you be relaxed about it?

    A Make move
    B Chill

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A

  17. Miguel Sanchez

    Anyone got any petrol?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Your team isn't burning? I have some, but I'm in the middle of nowhere.

  18. C_G
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    i have Raphina and Bam.

    Should I do Allan + Bam ---> Sarr + 6.7 fwd? (-4)

  19. Zaruto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Lukaku > Vardy, only this week -4 ?

    1. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Lukaku will score

  20. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Did Benitez say anything about Pickford? I'm just looking on Liverpool Echo and I see mentions of DCL / Richarlison & Coleman injuries but nothing on Pickford. Just wondering whether I should start Begovic or not.

  22. tokara

    Will u do Vardy to Antonio?

    1. Ricky Bobby 14
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Nah, Vardy could smash Burnley bro

  23. Puntillimon
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    On wildcard. Would you do Jota or greenwood?

    1. Ricky Bobby 14
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Neither

      1. Puntillimon
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Who would you recommend in that price bracket?

        1. Ricky Bobby 14
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          Grealish/Torres from GW8 will be delightful. Would prefer Sarr over the others

          1. Puntillimon
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            I can certainly do that in gw8 onwards

            1. Ricky Bobby 14
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 9 months ago

              Jota is great this GW, however, I see Bobby starting GW7 against City.

  24. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 9 months ago

    Any ideas please gents?

    Sanchez
    Trent | Alonso | Shaw
    Bruno | Greenwood | Jota | Raphinha* | Sarr
    Kane | Bamford**

    Steele | Livramento | Williams | Scarlett

    1FT, 0.4ITB

    Thanks

    1. Ricky Bobby 14
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno needs to vacate the building ASAP. Salah please

    2. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      A healthy idea would be to delete the team and move on. Other than that i would get Antonio

      1. Puntillimon
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Really not that bad. Kane should score against Arsenal this week

    3. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      Bamford to antonio would be a common shout

  25. unclesbasement

    GTG?
    Sanchez(Steele)
    Rudiger,TAA,White,Coufal(Amartey)
    Salah,Gray,Sarr
    Ronaldo,Lukaku,Antonio(C)

    1. Ricky Bobby 14
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      That structure makes me cringe, please rectify soon. GTG for this GW but captain CR7

      1. unclesbasement
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        what do you mean. Also i think antonio is too good to resist when you look at the amount of injuries leeds have and how poor they are defensively

      2. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        I recommend a full personality overhaul.

      3. Harry the Hack
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        what are you talking about? 433 is good with the lack of mid options. its a standard good looking team

      4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Your account is only 18 minutes old & already choc full of absolute horseshite

        That's almost impressive, in a way

        1. 2001: A Space Origi
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          I thought exactly the same thing.

        2. unclesbasement
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 9 months ago

          what do you think maximus...surely i can get better advice then "the structure is cringe please rectify"

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 9 months ago

            Looks decent to me - wouldn't be a *massive* fan of starting White & Coufal mind you, but I don't hate them either (I've White first sub waiting to come in if TAA or Raphinha miss out & owned Coufal from GW8 - GW38 last season so well aware of what he can do)

    2. Harry the Hack
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 9 months ago

      move amartey to livra if you have a spare transfer doing nothing

      1. unclesbasement
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 9 months ago

        Sadly i dont but thanks anyway

    Start Toney VS Liv. Guess no goals here tbh..

    Or start Livramento VS Wol.?

    Play Allan or Marcal. Already have SA and Gray playing. Was going to play Marcal but can see Saints scoring but also can see Allan with a 2/3 pointer
