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

  4. Bobadoba
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Aguero to Kane?

    Already have Eriksen and Ali.

    I think will probably go for it as think Kane too risky not to own looking at his record.

      If Kne scores well to orow it could be painful for you

  5. vardys party
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Who to play:
    A. Gabbi
    B. Yoshida
    C. Gibson

    Gabbi would mean AOA

    1. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years

      C

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is it possible to start a jihad on Kelvin Mckenzie?
    It's surely not a bad thing, is it?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      You know he is doing it on purpose. To wind up Liverpool (i.e. the city). What a scumbag.

  7. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years

    GTG?

    Pickford | Valdes
    Alonso Alderweireld Valencia | Evans Amat

  8. Dream Killers 2.0
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Still can't decide who have way to go. What do you think?

    A) Erikson, Alonso and Carroll for Zaha, Davies and Kane -8
    B) Erikson, Alonso and Llorente for Zaha, Davies and Kane -8
    C) Sanchez and Carroll for Zaha and Kane (Leaves 1.5m in bank)-4
    D) Sanchez and Llorente for Zaha and Kane (Leaves 1.5m in bank)-4

    Heaton (Foster)

    Alonso McAuley Valencia (Friend) (Amat)

    Sanchez Sigurdson Ali Erikson (Capoue)

    ➡️Who are you captaining and why?⬅️
    I'm currently on Kane.
    BOU ship more goals and I've never seen Spurs play so well.

      The focal point of the best attacking team in the league right now

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie

        Benteke? Bold choice...

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

    Play a or b?

    a. Heaton (eve)
    b. Grant (HUL)

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

      B all day. Hull are the second worst team away from home (behind Burnley) and have scored the fewest goals away from home (8 in 16 games)

    2. abaalan

  14. Aladdin Sané

    Hennessey or Pickford for this GW?

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

      Hennessey

    2. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Henny is the way to go (til 36 at least)

  15. drughi

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No matter what, I'm going back to slow & steady next year. It works so much better for your OR.

      No transfer hits, no kneejerks, no fixation on TV, wait until Saturday morning to do transfers etc. etc.

      1. Whazza

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years

      swansea are dire, good chance

    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Got it down to 2 options:

    A. Ibra+Eriksen > Kane+Zaha (then buy Ibra back next GW)

    B. Valencia > Bailly (save 1FT and assess next GW)

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years

  18. TSN

    Ibra to Kane for -4 now? or transfer him after GW34?

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

      After gw 34

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      After! Not with a hit

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

    GW33 3-4-3 (Valencia doubt, Barnes up front and might not start - horror bench)
    Pickford (WHU)
    Alonso (mun) Valencia (CHE) Bavies (BOU)
    Alli (BOU) Eriksen (BOU) Alexis (mid) Siggy (wat)
    Lukaku (BUR) Aguero (sou) Barnes (eve)
    Subs: Heaton (eve) Friend (ARS) Yoshida (MCI) Fletcher(LIV)

    Will walker start or should I transfer him out to Davies ?

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He will start imo mate

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Play your sub if he doesn't. Not worth a transfer.

  23. Zizou
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    is it worth bringing in valdes for the double or stick with heaton (H) to utd

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

      Dude bring in Hennessey right now

  24. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Play lanzini or negredo?

    1. JRO093
      • 9 Years

  25. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Walker Alonso Valencia Gibson Amat.
    Will 3 of them play?

  26. George James
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Dele Alli's stats really are incredible

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      yes

    2. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      So young as well.. think he'll go to Real Madrid?

    3. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Just can't believe his age, so rare for a player that young to not just have potential but actually produce. Scary.

      Yes I actually can see him going to Real Madrid in the next 3/5 years

  27. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    What is your stance on triple captain this week?

    Took -8 this week, so considering triple capping Luk or Kane to keep my ML lead...I have both bench boost, triple cap and my second WC available.

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I say no. WC 35 TC 36 BB 37

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

        I think Lukaku or Kane this week should outscore Sanchez despite DGW in 36.

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Definitely possible. But also possible Kane plays 70 minutes and blanks. I'd go for the (basically) guaranteed extra game playing points from Sanchez and then take a chance on a huge score. Two chances at bonus etc.

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

            Ok, maybe you're right. To keep a ML lead, play conservative and TC the DGWer.

        2. Gangster Panda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          On current form, I completely agree, but Sanchez could turn it on & prob just worth the gamble in waiting imo.

    2. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I don't think I could ever bring myself to use TC on a single game week player

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

        Cheers! Thanks for providing some perspective. Got rid of Sanchez this week for Kane and Zaha, will probably get him back for DGW tho (WC)

  28. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I need a hand. Which would you prefer to play this week?

    1. Sanchez, Barnes (means I can get Zaha next week)
    2. Aguero, Townsend (means I will play Siggy next week)

    Thanks in advance.

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

      Do you need my lefty or righty? This week 2

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

        Either is appreciated. Much thanks.

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Tough Eddie. Why Townsend not Zaha in 2?

      I think it's a coin toss honestly

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

        .1 off bring Zaha straight in for Sanchez without a hit. Don't really want Townsend.

        Might lose Heaton for Valdes for a hit and bring in Zaha.

    3. My Name Is Prince

      I'm into women, sorry....

      Possible But then so are red cards for each of them.

      You have the Kane & Lukaku spellings down but misspelled Origi 😉

  30. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Captain?:

    A) Kane (will he play 90?)
    B) Alli (midfield)
    C) Lukaku (Burnley can defend on their day?)

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Kane for me, how many times will you have the opportunity to captain a differential Kane at home to Bournemouth? Pros outweigh the cons
