Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 3?

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers have plenty of choice for the Gameweek 3 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 3 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 the closest captain poll of the season so far, Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) is the current leader, with 32.5% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Just behind in second is Gabriel Jesus (£8.1m), who is backed by a mite under 30%, ahead of his away tie against Bournemouth.

Erling Haaland (£11.7m) occupies third place with just over 12%, followed by Tottenham Hotspur duo Harry Kane (£11.4m) and Son Heung-min (£12.0m), with a little further back.

THE CANDIDATES

MOHAMED SALAH

Mohamed Salah endured a frustrating night against Crystal Palace and produced a below-par performance short of the expected gold standard. Liverpool’s Premier League challenge has stuttered with two consecutive draws and a lack of fluency in attack as the Reds adjust their playstyle to accommodate Darwin Nunez (£9.0m).

The Uruguayan, dismissed for violent conduct, will serve a three-match Premier League ban which ironically could strengthen Salah’s captaincy credentials for Gameweek 3. Across the opening two rounds, Nunez ranks best among all outfield players in the division for goal attempts (nine) and big chances total (five) despite playing just 96 minutes. 

The underlying data suggests that Salah has turned provider, ranking second among all outfield players for chances created (nine) after two Gameweeks. Roberto Firmino (£8.0m) should help rather than hinder Salah’s output if he recovers from a knock to deputise for Nunez.

Liverpool travel to face Manchester United in Gameweek 3 who have endured a chaotic start to the season with consecutive defeats to Brighton and Brentford, respectively. The Red Devils rank joint-worst for goals conceded (six), clean sheets (zero), and lead the division for defensive errors (three) over the first two matches. 

Erik ten Hag’s intention to play out from the back has suffered early setbacks and Liverpool’s high press will provide an unwelcome acid test. Furthermore, Salah boasts a strong recent record against Manchester United notching five goals in last season’s Premier League matches.

      I think the update is really nice, however it is quite bright, I agree.

      Annoyingly, FFS, FPL and more websites don't seem to understand the need for a "night" / "dark" mode anymore.

      I think he's a fantastic differential, especially if you can't stretch to Foden. I have a team below where I can get him in, but it means Sanchez over Ederson or Mendy which is triple CHE defence.

    So pulled the trigger on my wildcard, hoped to catch some price rise & fall profit. So far, no joy. I have a few options, curious to everyone's thoughts please;

    XXX, Ward
    Trent, Robbo, Cancelo, James, Cucu
    Diaz, Martinelli, Andreas, XXX, XXX
    Haaland, Jesus, XXX

    A) Ederson | Kulu | 4.8 | Toney = 1st Sub Strong, 2nd/3rd subs
    B) Ederson | Kulu | Zaha | 4.8 = 1st Sub Strong, 2nd/3rd subs
    C) Ederson | Kulu | 4.5 | 4.5 = 2.8 ITB sets up for easy rotation, all bench less than 4.5M
    D) Sanchez | KDB | 4.4 | 4.5 = All bench less than 4.5M
    E) Sanchez | Son | 4.5 | 4.5 = All bench less than 4.5M
    F) Sanchez | Foden | Kulu | 4.5 = 1st Sub Strong, 2nd/3rd subs less than 4.5M
    G) Mendy | Gundo | Kulu | 4.5 = 1st Sub Strong, 2nd/3rd subs less than 4.5M (3x CHE defence)

    As you can tell, I'm pretty set on big at the back, so it's just whether I go 5-3-2 or 5-2-3 right now. Open to conversations about ideas. REALLY REALLY not on the Salah band wagon so if that's all you're going to comment on, move along.

    I'm leaning towards A the most, then C, then G, but curious your thoughts. Happy to go with a bit more risk this season too hence no Salah and just think it's mental my entire starting XI is a team full of players from last seasons top 5 (could've been top 4 if I went Saka over Kulu, lol!)

        Funny enough Son is one of the reasons I wildcarded. Captained GW1, blanked GW2. However, I will have made a touch of profit on him if I do go back to him (KDB placeholder right now, given he rose and Son was due a drop).

        D is big on City, KDB & Haaland gotta be 20/21 & 21/22 Son & Kane for me.

            I already have/had Robertson, I'm hoping he drops.

            So you'd start Foden/Kulu/Robbo over Cucurella. OK OK

      D. I find it a relatively simple decision out of those options tbh. E if you prefer Son.

      The risk of only having one good sub is the price you have to pay to make 5x 5.0 defenders work imo. Otherwise, get Neco or an excellent 4.5 def (if one exists) and go for F, benching th 4.5-4.0 option (that's probably what I'd do to alter your team a little)

        I'm so used to wanting and having playing players who are half decent on my bench (from previous seasons) but I do think the 5 sub rule is going to ruin that.

        A is where I'm at, I think it's just Sanchez putting me off of D, but if City romp the league like I think they will it just makes the most sense to go with D like you said, right?

      A looks strong but who will you bench? I can see merits though as once the champs league starts I can see players getting total rests in some games more so Chelsea WBs Haaland, Robbo. Arsenal boys will be safe as will play total different 11 in Europa group stages.

      Also like D for KDB

        That is why I don't like A, the benching headache. Thing is with the five sub rule I'd need a player to completely miss a game for the bench rule to benefit me. Hence liking D/E but do I trust Sanchez in goal?

      I’ve never been a fan of a strong first sub since it often just resulted in points missed on my bench so D or E from those choices. The other advantage is it makes it easier to get Salah if you change your mind!

        Concerns;
        - Ramsdale: Still unsure on Arsenals defensive stature, guess I could play Ward in 9/10/12
        - Mount: Performance reasons (will he get points, I don't think so)

      A risk with wildcarding so early is we don't know if Bilva stays or not. If you think he will, that should deter getting in the gundog.

      I'd love to say Gundo & Kane because I think Gundo could be a huge differential and Toney trolled me too much last year, but think KDB & Toney is the safer option.

          Raya over Sanchez, I respect it.

          If you want the Spurs coverage and think they will perform well this season Kane, but I'd go KDB/Toney with that. Alternatively make Toney a 4.5 upgrade Da Silva to Zaha/GroB/Benrahma.

    To get in James I have to get rid of Trent to afford my front three in 5 GW's from now.

    So, have enough time to decide whether the double up will be worth while less Trent. Will have Cancelo the game changer at the back.

              Oh it sounded lke you had 3 players in mind. But actually you have 2 now, I guess, and want to (afford to) add one more. Understood, I guess!

              But I don't see how a defender makes a difference for a forward slot vs midfield. Sounds all very complicated to me.

                If Nunez did not get a red card, I would have been in a very good spot. Well, that is my view because I knew after GW1 that Kane > Haaland was going to happen.

                I have explained my plan on many occssions on here.

      When Firmino was relatively nailed, he went through patches where 80% of the time he wasn't worth his relatively meager price tag (believe me I suffered from sticking with him for long periods in a couple of seasons when everyone else was avoiding him). I don't think this has changed, and now with Jota and Darwin around, he's only really an option if you WC in GW6 at the latest imo

          Yeah, not worth 2FTs (or potentially -8 effectively) imo

              Hope you feel better about Toney now 🙂

              I took a -8 to restructure and get Foden & James instead of the simple free swap for Toney. Could live to regret that
