Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 10?

The Gameweek 10 captaincy debate, if we can call it that, has only been about one Fantasy Premier League (FPL) name so far: Mohamed Salah (£12.9m).

There are some appealing matches elsewhere, however, with free-scoring Manchester City up against Crystal Palace at the Etihad, and Chelsea taking on a Newcastle United side still without a clean sheet.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 10 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

In a predictably one-sided captain poll, Mohamed Salah is the clear leader, having gained a whopping 76.3% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Jamie Vardy (£10.8m) sits in second, and is backed by 3.57% of FPL managers ahead of his home tie against Arsenal.

Phil Foden (£8.2m) occupies third-place with 2.86%, with the top-five list completed by Kai Havertz (£8.1m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m), with 1.93% and 1.47% respectively.

      Do we know if he's fit? Arteta presser?

        Seems all those folks proclaiming 100% for Ben White didn't check Arteta's presser. Didn't train all week. That's not a good sign.

        I'll downgrade him to 30% to start.

        1. fantasyfog
          • 8 Years

          Yes just seen this myself, agreed, downgraded

        2. Ginkapo FPL

          Ben White doesnt need to train

    Good morning everyone!!! Am I good to go?? Need a bit of luck with Raphinha and Mbeumo hopefully at least one stars, have I got my Bench order correct? Or should I put Livramento ahead of Townsend???? I did Alonso and Greenwood to Chilwell and Foden with my transfers, team is…

    Foster
    TAA Rudger Chilwell
    Salah Foden Raphinha Mbeumo
    Ronaldo Antonio Toney
    Subs Bachmann Townsend Livramento White

    Cheers everyone!!!

    1. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Transfers look good, although chasing points from previous game weeks, Livramento 1st sub for me.

      Toney hasn't tempted me yet but I'm on the lookout for a 3rd striker, hoping Dom is back soon.

      Good luck

        Yeah my initial plan was to do Alonso to Cancelo but the I wanted to get rid of Greenwood to Foden to so couldn’t afford Cancelo, will get him in two weeks now, will be downgrading Ronaldo next week so that can free up funds to get DCL,cheers mate!! Best of luck to you!!

  3. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku to Vardy for -4??

    1. DaddyPig
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      With the Vardy injury concerns, would you not look for a cheaper alternative?

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wait a week to see how injured Vardy is, may have minutes managed

  4. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bench 1

    Sarr ( Southampton home)
    Jimenez (Everton home)
    Christensen (Newcastle away)
    Raphinha (Norwich away)

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      the Chelsea lad

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone but Raphinha

      I'd say Christensen too

  5. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Does this need my wildcard? 2FT 0.9 ITB and not too sure what to do… do I sell CR7 before Spurs?

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Cancelo Rudiger Semedo (Tierney* Livramento)
    Salah(c) Gray Sarr Raphinha* (Benrahma)
    Ronaldo Jimenez Antonio

    Could ditch Ronaldo (scary, even now) and Benrahma/Sarr for Vardy and Foden/Mount?

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      WC? Definitely not.

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It's not terrible is it, at least 7 who I'd want in a wildcard team, manage with 2 ft's, but, any of that squad can get you points, look at fixtures, then decide

    3. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo, Sarr to Vardy, Foden would be my moves.
      And play Livramento

  6. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start Livramento(wat) or Semedo(EVE)

    1. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      liv

    2. HaffNanner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livramento

  7. Westfield Irons ⭐️
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I've got 10.5M and need to buy a MID and FWD.
    Who would you get?
    They will be bench fodder alongside Livramento on WC.

    1. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Broja mbeumo?

      1. WWW.
        • 10 Years

        Broja, ESR

        1. Westfield Irons ⭐️
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I'm on Broja and ESR now. Hoping Broja gets fit quickly.
          Would you prefered Broja and ESR, rather than ESR and 4.5 - saving money ITB but with a total dud on the bench?

      2. Westfield Irons ⭐️
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        0.1 short - this is my preference. thanks

  8. DaddyPig
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hey guys, a little advice please.

    Is Kane to Toney and Duffy to Chilwell worth a -4?

    It gives me 4.6m itb for another week.

    Thank you!

    1. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No need, chilwells great but can he get another double digit score, odds say likely not, and Kane could fire any time.

      No to -4

  9. HaffNanner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A. Azpi to Chilwell
    B. Leave it

    1FT 1.0ITB
    Foster (Ramsdale)
    TAA Cancelo Dias Azpi (Livramento)
    Salah Mount Raphinha (Mbeumo Brownhill)
    Vardy Antonio Toney

    1. DaddyPig
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      For free I think it’s worth it. Especially as the rest look good.

      1. HaffNanner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks

    2. HaffNanner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or C, just bench Azpi and start Mbeumo

  10. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Was going to bring in Mbuemo for Gray for Brentfords good fixture run. Seems like he could be a doubt.

    Reckon its worth the gamble? I've got Semedo as first sub.

  11. mattyrobinson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Havertz or Foden?

    Can only afford one.

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Foden

      Foden on form

  12. Kryptonite666

    What should be the next moves here ? 0.7 ITB

    Vardy Toney (Perica)

    2. WWW.

      Great team, what's your rank

    4. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Dam I somehow want the exact team in about 2 gws or so

  13. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sell greenwood or Jota to get foden?

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood hands down

    2. WWW.
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood imo

    3. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      On current form it's a no brainer

    4. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Only issue being my bench being too thin, I was thinking Jota since both him and Foden are prone to benchings

      1. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Utds form and confidence won't be great, but I don't see greenwood being benched so fair point, I'd only want one of Foden, Jota and Greenwood myself

  14. WWW.

        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This was what I was considering, have been putting it off to see if Azpi is fit and have missed out on 2 price rises.
        Azpi looks like he will play, not sure if it is still worth it?

    From week 12, what are your thoughts on Kane & Son with fixtures of LEE, bur, BRE, NOR, bha?

    A. Kane only
    B. Son only
    C. Kane & Son
    D. Neither

    1. Riders of Yohan

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Same. Playing wildcard and trying to leave open route to Kane.

    2. Boly Would

      B I reckon

  18. CheesyZoot

    1. CheesyZoot

      Start Livra over Semedo

      1. Riders of Yohan
        • 5 Years

        Thanks, think Semedo could do well against Eve though

  20. vova

    start Saka on Benrahma?

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Saka, reckon he'd due

  21. fantasyfog
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Salah perma captain form

  22. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    With Salah the undisputed captain this week you know he will blank

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That is fine. It isn't going to massively hurt the OR with the EO he will have.

    2. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That's fine as everyone else will blank too, but if he hauls, again, you lose ground real quick

    3. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or bang another hatty

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

      Plenty said similar last week. Personally I think he'll haul again. He looks double figure bound every GW

    5. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why don't you go ahead and captain someone else then?

    1 FT, 0.2 ITB

    Mendy
    TAA Cancelo James
    Salah(C) Foden(VC) Havertz Raphinha
    Jesus Antonio Toney

    Foster; Livramento Duffy Brownhill

    Little worried about the likes of James, Cancelo, Foden, Raphinha, Havertz and Jesus being rested.

  25. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What do you reckon is the best move here? I can't get to Foden without a hit so I'm thinking roll a transfer

    Ramsdale
    Dias, Azpi, Cancelo, TAA,
    Salah, Raph, ESR
    Jiminez, Kane, Antonio

    Bench: Foster, Livra, Gallagher, Brownhill

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would roll here

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Similar team to yours I have Foden+ Brownhill + Christensen instead of Esr + Galla + Azpi.

      Save this week .. probably get in Toney for one of the forwards , Esr/Galla to Foden

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Brownhill is actually Luiz

  26. Bounce
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking to bring in Mbueno with my FT this week. Either Sarr or Gray to make way. Sensible transfer or just roll instead? 0.3 ITB. Thanks guys.

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Chilwell
    Salah Son Raphinha Sarr Gray
