Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 7?

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are looking to Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham United for the Gameweek 7 captaincy, and as per usual, the Captain Sensible article is here to highlight which assets have the best chance of hauling.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 7 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

Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m) leads the captain poll so far, having gained just under half of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Second-placed Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) has received 24.01% of votes ahead of his home match against Everton.

Michail Antonio (£8.0m) occupies third-place with 7.49%, with the top-five list completed by Mohamad Salah (£12.6m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m), with 3.26% and 3.14% respectively.

    Any Bachmann news? Still a bit early so not sure Watford have had their presser

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Recycling a joke but:

      No one knows what it's like
      To be the Bachmann
      To be the sad man
      Behind blue eyes

  9. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ducoure or saka?

    1. dshv
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka

    2. Fpl_Ludwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka in my opinion

    3. GROBARI
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka

    4. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka

    5. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka but it's close

    6. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      for the moment I'd be waiting on Saka to make sure he's nailed down that RW spot

    7. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Doucoure. He is playing an attacking role this season.

    8. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Doucoure short term(next 3) Saka for the season run in

  10. Fpl_Ludwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts?
    I can take a -4 to get TAA out for Azpi/City def and get him back gw 11

    Sanchez
    Duffy - Marcal - Rudiger
    Raph - Gilmour - Gray - Salah
    Ron - Rom - Antonio

    Bench: Foster - TAA - Ayling - Mendy (4.4 mid)

    So if gilmour or marcal doesn´t play either, i´m pretty much in the mud
    (I´ve used my WC)

  11. Threat Level Midnight
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Think Mount will be a good option for Chelsea's good patch....Sarr>Mount on the cards next week for sure.

  12. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Shaw to Rudiger or save transfer? If Shaw is out, Livramento come in

    Thanks

    1. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit, for free yes.

      1. zes
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Probably worth it even for a hit if shaw is out

  13. Mozumbus
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    2FT, 0ITB, WC planned in GW8

    Sanchez Foster
    TAA Coufal Semedo Dier Veltman
    Salah Bruno Greenwood Raphinha Allan
    Ings Antonio Toney

    What moves would you suggest?

    Thanks

  14. F4L

    Does the Reece James injury news sound like he'll be back for GW8?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      In the pool so therefore not running yet so therefore still more than a couple of weeks is my guess

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years

        Tuchel said one week in Tuesday

      Something we should see is Azpi's minutes with Spain.

    4. F4L

      cheers all

    5. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      None knows but I believe 15 days are enough for his injury to be ready

  15. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Best pick up to 5.6 to replace Tsimikas?
    a)Christensen
    b)Walker

  16. Nolberto Solano
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Taking a hit before wilcarding in GW8 to make sure I field 11 this week. Which option?

    A) Marcal & Lukaku
    B) Chelsea DEF & Jimenez
    C) Chelsea DEF & Raphinha

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

    2. Tempestic

      B

    3. Krafty Werks

  17. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Has Raphinha taken both the shots??

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nobody knows

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Off target as usual despite being big chances

  18. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    GW8 Greenwood to Saka
    GW9 Ronaldo to Kaku

    Will have lots ITB - would consider any changes for a hit during these weeks??

    Sanchez
    Rudi/Cancelo/Duffy
    Salah/Greenwood/Benrahma/Raph/Sarr
    Ronaldo(c)/Antonio

    Steele/TAA/Tsim/Scarlet

    I’m a bit surprised to see nearly 100% consensus with Livra as the budget defender on WC’s. I still see Duffy as a *potential* 15 pointer each week, although I’ll admit Livra’s fixtures and security of starts seem hard to ignore

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Duffy has others coming back lurking.

      Livra is nailed.

      Having said that I intend to keep both for as long as I can.

  20. kysersosa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Should I WC this team?? Already taken -4.

    Sanchez
    Rudiger, Alonso, White,
    Traore, Salah, Raphina, Barnes
    Antonio, Ronaldo (C), ASM

    Steele, TAA, Gilmour, Tsmikas

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No but you might not field 11 this weekend

  21. farmerfat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone reckon Traore starts this week?

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think he will start.

    2. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes I do, watched the whole games last week and both Podence and Hwang on the wings were average, Traore will start imo in the expence of one or the other

  22. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    2 best defenders to own this GW? Any price...GO!!

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rudiger & Azpi

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mee Tark

    3. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Alonso and Cresswell.

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Alonso & Cresswell over Alonso & Rudiger do you think? Fancy a punt actually as will be WC'ing GW8.

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          It's tough.Toney is on form but Cresswell is class.Lowton for 1 gw could be nice.

    4. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tarkoswki Semedo Rudiger, maybe gamble on Alonso?

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Duffy, Cash or Cresswell.

  23. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    R.James to Christensen worth?

  24. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On WC:

    A) Sarr
    B) Saka

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      b

    2. sovietrockettes
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sarr and get Saka next week

  25. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hi all: need your help - I wildcarded a couple of weeks ago but the structure hasn't worked out in the last 2 GWs. Anything for a hit?

    Sanchez
    TAA Rudiger Cancelo Marcal (Livramento)
    Salah Sarr Saka Gray (Mendy)
    Lukaku Ronaldo (Perica)

    No Antonio is the obvious issue. No easy way to get there

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      TAA out and try to get Antonio instead of perica

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not this week. 2FT handy to make changes

  26. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    GTG ? Any Thoughts ?
    Sanchez
    Coady White Rüdiger ( Livra Willimas)
    Salah Sarr Traoré Benrahma (Allan)
    Ronaldo Vardy Antonio ©
    No FT & 2.9 M itb

  27. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone see any issues with this WC?
    Guaita (Foster)
    Rudiger White Semedo* (Cancelo Livramento)
    Salah Son Raphinha Mbuemo (Luiz)
    Lukaku(c) Antonio Jimenez

    *0.8ITB potentially for Semedo > James after IB. Or should I get James in now and play Cancelo?
    TAA will come back in after United by either a son downgrade (after newcastle and westham), or Antonio for his tough run

    Thoughts?

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not a fan of a planned transfer after WC. Especially over an IB.

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        The good thing about it is I dont have to do. Semedo is perfectly playable next week also. Just my idea rn

      2. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I've got a bench next week also

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Looks decent on paper. Hard to plan those moves a few weeks out. As long as you have a playing bench then should be g2g

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers mate. Should i get Reece in now u reckon? Just worried he still might not be fit after IB

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Anything can happen on IB, would hold fire til you have more info. I’ve been tempted all week to ditch Reece but expecting rotation so figure I’ll just play Livra and have 2 freebies in 8.
          Also wouldn’t feel comfortable benching Cancelo even though I think they’ll concede. Would play ahead of mbuemo personally

  28. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A or B?

    A) WC
    B) -4 for 2 chelsea defenders

    Sanchez
    TAA* Shaw* White Ayling* Tsimikas
    Salah Sarr Greenwood Benrahma 4.5
    Ronaldo Antonio Jimenez

  29. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like at most 11 players if Shaw plays but it looks unlikely, will WC next week.
    Just hope for the best or get Alonso/Azpi for a hit?

  30. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    How will TAA's red flag work?

    Will it revert to orange/yellow on Sunday once the LIV/MCI game is over and therefore price lock him at 7.5?
