Paul Up next this busy Friday evening, we dive into the Opta data with our usual pre-Gameweek members’ article assessing the main captaincy candidates for the upcoming round of fixtures.
To get underway, we check in with the Captain Poll contenders, then examine the Opta numbers and Rate My Team rankings before highlighting a differential or two to help advise on your armband dilemma.
Pickford
Valencia Alonso Walker
Zaha Alli Siggy Tadic
Kane (c) Lukaku Ibra
G2G? Or who to make way for Holgate (he's on the bench)?
Changed my mind. (C)outinho.
His Brazilian buddy might be injured though
Don't mind. He's a dribbler. 😉
Love it
brummies on the beach u think?
They have been since GW26 barring the Arsenal game
yeah they have it seems, but can still get the blood up once in a while it seems
Aye.
I'm going safer with Dele at home with Bournemouth. Need to play it safe right now.
Early start. Long weekend ...
No Kane No Problem 🙂 Rom Rom Captain Locked 😀
We'll see if you'll have that outlook come 2 o clock tomorrow
Grant Hennesy
Holebas ALonso Nyom Chambers Davies
Alli Eriksen Sanchez King FLetcher
Kun Lukaku Origi
1 FT 0.2m in bank,
should i save FT?
King to Zaha?
NO
SA: PvA's trained this week, so he'll join up with us
Means he'll start?
Don't think fat Sam would change something that's working
Pickford/heaton
Bavies, Pieters, Valencia
Alli, Sanchez, zaha, Siggy, coutinho
Lukaku, Kane (c)
G2G? Which keeper?
Pickford only because you have lukaku
Just want the one who makes the most saves. Heaton might be tested more by Everton
Siggy -> Zaha?
I have 2FT and need to use 1.
Yess
I would.
Yes
Yep
no brainer
Anything worth a hit ? 1.3m itb. Main concern is Valencia game time
Pickford | Valdes
Alonso Alderweireld Valencia | Evans Amat
Hazard Alli Zaha King Sanchez
Kane Anichebe | Carroll
Well Valencia will start or he'll be out imho, so not a lot you can do about that. I'd be tempted to start Big Andy over Big Vic though?
Thanks Netley, otherwise does the team look alright
Yeah, not a bad side at all, gl.
Thanks Netley
Lukaku or Kane captain? Leaving the decision to the name that recieves the most comments below....
Kane
Safe bet is Lukaku high ownership but I'm going Kane
Lukaku
A. Ibra+Eriksen > Kane+Zaha
B. Ibra+Walker > Kane+Ward
B
but Neither imo..
Is having Alli, Son and Kane (c) too many eggs in one basket? It is easter after all?
3 spurs attackers means a 1v0 or 2v0 would be bad news as they can't all score points.
Is it safer to captain Lukaku over Kane given I have so many spurs attackers?
No. They can actually all score points.
The 'safe' logic isn't any good, _always_ captain the player you think has the best chance of a good score.
if two of them shares two goal (one goal and one assist each) and the one is captain and the also keep a CS that would be considered a success, wouldn´t it? 9,11, 3 without bonus and captains double.
Who's the better player, Hazard or Sanchez? It's Hazard for me.
Correct
Sánchez, imho.
Finisher - Sanchez
Everything else - Hazard
Always thought Sanchez is a pretty erratic finisher.
I think Hazard is an elite finisher, brilliant in that aspect imo.
On his day Sanchez is unplayable but Hazard is still class
I like this opinion.
Hazard can be but Sanchez is more consistently on it ... Chelsea are far better than Arsenal
Guess the points they would each have if Sanchez was playing for Chelsea and Hazard for Arsenal
I'd guess 240 Sanchez / 150 Hazard
Sanchez. He's got a bunch of clowns playing round him and he still does the business. Hazard is too on and off
love both, think sanchez just edges it for me
It was Sanchez until erm, Hazard took it up a few notches and Arsenal capitulated? If both were in top sides? Close, maybe Alexis would edge it.
Hazard
Not even close
Alexis is more consistent. Haz seems to be higher rated and plays in a much better team.
I would've thought Hazard is a lot more consistent. He's been brilliant in every game this season.
Love them both.
Sanchez
It's not even close.
He has done it in 3 leagues. He can play wide (Either side) or through the middle. He performs internationally, and takes hold of games in a way that Hazard does not. He didn't go missing for an entire season (or in so many international games).
Sanchez for me.
(Big Chelsea fan)
Let's look at some of the "skills" involved:
Leadership (cojones): Sanchez
Movement off the ball: Hazard
Runs his socks off: Sanchez
Assisting the assister: Hazard
Killer pass: Sanchez
Scores goals out of nowhere: Hazard (vs Arsenal!)
Ice-cold finishing. Hazard
So Hazard is just ahead for me.
Best max 4.4 def? Barragan with coming DGWks?
Fabio will return, Chambers too for DGW... both better.
Already done. Vardy and McAuley -> Kane and Barragan.
Good luck.
Who to start?
A Pickford
B De Gea
And
1 Valencia
2 Yoshida
A1
A1
Wow didn't these articles used to be available to everyone?
No
Members only
Oh, like this one: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2017/04/07/captain-sensible-gameweek-32-4/
?
A) McAuley + Siggy + Carroll ==> Holgate + Zaha + Benteke (-4)
OR
B) McAuley + Siggy ==> Holgate and Zaha (Pray Carroll Starts)
Firmino injured? Not flagged (yet).
Saw pictures of him from training. Was running around with a fitness coach. Rumours about a muscular injury, no confirmation though.
Pickford (Valdes)
Walker Valencia Holgate
Sanchez, Alli, Eriksson, King
Kaku (c) Benteke Kun
Subs Yoshida Stephens De Roon
A Stick and save FT
B Walker to Davies
C Valencia to Bailly
Spurs are quite effective when it comes to early kick offs on a Saturday it seems
Trouble is, I have 3 if you count Walker.
0-0 tomorrow just to break the mold
Harry Kane, at home, in a televised game, against a non-top 6 team. Those are his conditions to shine. Bring on Bournemouth!
Activated WC...Keep Valencia and Coutinho on WC or
1) Davies + Coutinho
2) Valencia + Eriksen
Cant have Davies + Eriksen as have Kane+Alli...Will Davies be nailed this season though?
2
which is better
1.cabaye
2.townsend (will he play)
Is this like the Aldi version of the Hazard v Sanchez debate above?
lidl
😆 😆 😆
Loooool
Townsend
G2g here?...ahead in minleague and rivals have lukaku but not kane....so i think it's safer for me to captain lukaku.....
Pickford (heaton)
Alonso walker pieters (brunt Robertson)
Alli siggy king zaha (snoddy)
Kun lukaku (c) Kane
Thanks
What are people thinking about Valencia and his playing time?
90' or 0', beautiful in its simplicity, arrange the bench well.
Unpredictable.
still cant believe noel fielding will be one of the new great british bakeoff presenters............gotta be one of the most random signings ever
might watch it now
Who is he?
no way?
His first show was the best stand up routine I ever saw, back in about 2002 on the uni circuit.
Anyone considering Van Aanholt for the DGW?
Yep just got him on WC
Bench:
A) Carroll
B) Origi
C) Sigurdsson
A
Cheers - I'm on A currently.
will townsend play?
I hope so
Valencia, PVA, Gibson, Stephens, Yoshi
King
Should I play AOA so King plays given defence fixtures this week?
Costa to Ibra or Kane?
Think you could do with updating your grav
I'm doing Costa to Kane myself
Haha.
Kane for sure.
A) Alli
B) Eriksen
Reasoning would be appreciated. Thanks!
Alli, because goals are worth more than assists.
I like both, if I could only have 1? Maybe Alli, on a massive upswing atm, whereas Eriksen has to work harder just to keep within distance. That's how it feels right now.
Cheers!
