Captain Sensible

Who is the best captain for FPL Gameweek 6?

Let’s be honest: many of you are going to make Erling Haaland (£14.3m) your captain in Gameweek 6!

But in Captain Sensible, we wouldn’t be doing due diligence without asking if there was a case to look beyond the Norwegian, who hosts Burnley on Saturday, in favour of a differential option.

First, we will assess the on-site captaincy poll. We will then analyse player and team statistics, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11am BST deadline.

Captaincy Poll

Among Fantasy Football Scout site users, Haaland is the runaway leader in the captaincy poll, currently sitting on a whopping 67% of the vote. That figure likely would have been greater (it was over 80% at one point) if he wasn’t flagged for half of the week.

Mohamed Salah (£14.5m) sits in a distant second place, almost 60% further back, ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Crystal Palace. Bruno Fernandes (£9.0m) takes third spot with around 6.5% of the vote. The Portuguese notched his second double-digit haul of the season in Gameweek 5. 

Antoine Semenyo (£7.7m) and Joao Pedro (£7.8m) are the only other players with over 2% of the vote.

        To be honest I might just go with a 4.0 def in Gundmundsson as it’s my 5th defender. I have 0.8 ITB so thought about spending it but maybe better to save the money.

    Jackson had a 1 on 1 today & slipped while shooting. Now I know what Chelsea fans were coping with. Harry Kane, on the other hand, with another great performance. Balon d'or looming.

        Can't really, not this week anyway. Only way I could do that would be to bring Semenyo in next week for MGW. Or it would be Semenyo in for MGW for -4, which I dont like. You'd go either of those over Saka/Eze against WHU next week?
