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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Anyone else wildcarding in gw 35 prior to Sanchez TC?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Classic tactic:

      35: WC
      36: TC
      37: BB
      38: AOA

    2. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Me.
      35: WC
      36: TC/BB
      37: BB/TC

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yep

  2. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Start 1:
    A) Stones (sou)
    B) Alonso (mun)

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Alonso

  3. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Pedro to zaha for free?

    Have no Utd or city

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No.Keep him for one more week.He loves scoring against United 😉

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Indeed

        That's what's bothering me

  4. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Is Barragan a good option?

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No.

      1. CrouchDown
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Why so?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Fabio and Chambers can both cover RB, Friend/Fabio LB. Barragan is meh and a drop waiting to happen when they're all back.

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Is Fabio back this week?

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Yep, concussion 'period' over.

  5. Astronautovic
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Siggy to coutinho/firmino a good transfer? Or stick?

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I am. He'll fire this week

      1. Astronautovic
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks

    2. TheRealDog
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'm keeping Sigurdsson for Watford. If he delivers he'll stay for Stoke the week after.

  6. BT31 - WE ARE ALL TINKERMEN…
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah!

  7. Konstaapeli
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Siggy + Kun > Zaha + Kane for free?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      My moves this week exactly

  8. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Gonna try to guess the differentials for tomorrow:

    1) Townsend
    2) Arnautovic
    3) Grosicki

  9. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    REPOST
    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

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A

      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A for me Jinswick

  10. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Can I survive this week with this defense?
    Walker Alonso Valencia Gibson Amat ? Only 2 of them played læst game.

  11. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Im tempted to TC Kane this GW, dont fancy Sanchez during his DGW

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Ibra 34 or Sanchez 36

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        neither of them are great

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      If I still had TC I would be tempted too

  12. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Benching both Holebas and Valencia - who is the best first sub?

  13. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Good to go lads on WC

    Pickford / Hennessey
    Alonso Bailly Jagielka Yoshida Holgate
    Hazard alli Eriksen Zaha King
    Kane Lukaku Ibrahimovic

    Wish I was able to fit Sanchez but will have to sort out a plan for GW36

    Evening all, i asked about this earlier but thought I'd sound it out one more time before making a decision....

    A. Play A.Carroll
    B. A.Carroll > Benteke for a hit

    1. TheRealDog
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'm doing B. I think Bilic said Carroll and some other striker will share the minutes

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Did he ! Where did you read/hear that ?

        1. TheRealDog
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          West Ham twitter:
          BILIC: "We're likely going to need both Andy and Jonathan on Saturday and they'll share the minutes on the pitch."

          Assuming he doesn't mean they'll play together.

            That is really helpful i missed that, cheers !

      I have my hands full with you in the FP Cup VS10_ your team looks solid looking forward to the battle 😉

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

      2. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        You should have seen my face when I saw your rank. 😆 I hope you win the whole thing, but leave this competition for me haha. Should be a good one.

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          OR rank dont mean squat in a cup game
          I would take that trade off for sure 🙂

        What move you make this week OGIE?

  16. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Strange week, either going to save transfer or wildcard!

  17. ZAWAd25
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Play one:

    Pedro or Origi?

  18. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Not so happy about my team but you never know,

    I just am not sure I have the right players on the bench, any thoughts? You guys usually know best! My team, already -4 and WC still in pocket:

    Schmeichel

    Valencia - Alonso - Baines

    King - Son - Alli - Lanzini

    Deeney - Kane - Lukaku (c)

    Bench: Pieters - Yoshida - de Roon - (and Ziehler why do I still have this guy lol)

    Thank you!

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years

    A) Fuchs
    B) Stephens

    1. 7Hells
      • 11 Years

      Fuchs might not play with midweek fix

  20. joinho

    Bottomed:
    G2G for this week? Would appreciate some wise advice from FFSers

    Have I got the bench right or should I start king ahead of Valencia? And jaku over Pickford?

    Pickford (Jaku)
    Alonso, Valencia, Holgate (Maguire, Evans)
    Zaha, Alli, Eriksen, Siggy (King)
    Ibra, Kaku, Kane

  24. Aladdin Sané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Will Chambers play next week?

  25. Champione
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Siggy > Coutinho -4?

    1. 7Hells
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Not for me

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Siggy has two decent fixtures

  26. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Sounds weird but got a funny feeling Benteke is going to score quite a few over the next 2 GWs. Wouldn't be surprised if he got more points than Kane who everyone is clambering over to get in at double the price!

  27. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Pickford
    Brunt , Holgate , Lovren
    Alli , Siggy , Sanchez , Cout
    Kaku , Kane , Origi
    Foster , Carroll , Cedric , Kaboul
    Anything worth a - 4 ?

  28. Diva
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    What to make of this team?

    Heaton
    Azpilicueta, Trippier, Alonso
    Sanchez, Alli, Pedro, Eriksen, Firmino
    Ibrahimovic, Lukaku

    Robinson, Pieters, Ward, Ulloa

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Careful, Walker gets a knock and yer stranded looking at Pieters' 9 @B1 mate.

  29. Hardly Athletic
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Llorente > Kane/Ibra
    Gabbiadini > Benteke
    Sanchez > Zaha

    Worth a 4 point hit?

    1. Kevinw82
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Llorente to Kane this week, Ibra if planning for next week

  30. Kevinw82
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Play King or Llorente this week? King has done so well for me lately I don't want to bench him even with his tough fixture
