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

    2 captain chip would be a useful chip to replace AOA!

    Valdes
    Bertrand/McAuley/Mawson
    Siggy/Alli/Erikssen/King/Zaha
    Kane(C)/Lukaku

    C)Bring in PVA for Bertrand/McAuley/Brunt for another -4 hit
    but ready for next wk doubles
    D)Drop Siggy to bench & play 4-3-3 with Origi upfront too

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A

  4. Flynny

    8 years, 9 months ago

    Are those purchasing Ibra for the dgw going to do it after the Chelsea match or wait until after Europe when price will have no doubt increased?

    Burying him early and maybe making 0.1 will help me I think afford the dgw37 I'm going to want (don't think I'll have Ibra in that team)

    Thanks

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

      I will wait until the day before gamweeks start from now until the beginning of the season

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      after Chelsea match, because i will be using wildcard.
      But for the team you want in dgw37, you are assuming no one else will rise until there.

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

        No I have some leeway...0.3 or so I think for the dgw37 I have composed ....i just need to be mindful of price changes....

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

          Burying him early....? I think you should go for Kane rather than the Undertaker 😉

    3. Kalou
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      You better watch you dont get arrested for that 🙂

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

    Bench one:

    1. Holebas
    2. Siggy
    3. Zaha
    4. A. Carroll

    Cheers in advance

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Holebas

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      has to be the watford defender who gets booked for a pastime

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

        Zaha in for free and AOA. Maybe I just do it

  6. Razmataz
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Is zaha worth a 4pt hit if you play him this week and next week?

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Depends who you are shipping

      1. Razmataz
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Would have to play a Man Utd defender this week if I don't...

    2. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He plays an extra match than anyone else bar United and Boro players. Therefore you'll lose 2 if both blank.

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

    Somehow I have ended up with triple Palace! Feels good tho!

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Let me guess...

      Henny, zaha, tekkers??

  8. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Who to bench out of Origi, Lanzini & Ziggy?
    Or would you go AOA?

    Jak
    Valencia, Walker, Mawson
    Ali, Siggy, Zaha, Eriksen
    Lukaku, Aguero, Origi
    Heaton, Lanzini, Smith, McAuley

  9. HavertzHero
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Grant
    Alonso Davies Valencia
    Sane Sanchez Coutinho Ali
    Benteke Lukaku Kane (c)
    Subs
    Mawson Ollson Carroll

    Gtg?

  10. JimmyCoop
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Front 8
    Siggy, Eriksen, Alli, King, Stanislas
    Aguero, Lukaku, Origi

    Aguero & Stanislas > Kane & Zaha (-4)

    Worth it?

  11. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Who's the safest Palace defender to bring in? Ward?

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      think i'd prefer pva but he doesn't seem to be an option this week

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        so yeah ward this week

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I want PVA too as he's more exciting but the vibe on here is he's not nailed

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

      yup

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

    Start one:

    A- Origi
    B- Pedro

    1. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Pedro

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

      A. Doesn't need 90

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Didn't score in 30 last week though

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          He rattled the crossbar and just missed getting his head on a great cross.

          1. bring_on _the_fantasy
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            So didn't score then?

            1. Fitzy.
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Well, it wasn't because he only played 30 minutes was it?

        2. Konig Luther
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          no... better avoid this weekend

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

    hennessey or valdes with the double in mind

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

      Neither.

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

      Hennessey easily

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

        even with liv(a) and spurs (H)

        compared to valdes - bou(a) SUN(H)

    3. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      valdes

  15. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I've narrowed down to two options.

    My team is:
    Jaku, Pickford
    Baines, Valencia, Smith, Amat, Mawson
    Sanchez, Siggy, King, Eriksen, Fletcher
    Aguero, Vardy, Lukaku

    I have two free transfers.

    A: Vardy and Siggy to Kane and Zaha
    B: Vardy and Valencia to Kane and Holgate

    I'd rather have Zaha, but I'm afraid of losing Siggy. Should I just bite the bullet and do it?

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

      Easily A for me

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

    Siggy to Zaha for free?

    Or save and do next week?

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

      Might as well now for home game and prices

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

    Foster Jak
    Alonso Walker Valencia Gibson Amat
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Sigurdsson King
    Lukaku Ibra Diomande
    Save or?

  18. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    How is she looking? G2G?

    Grant
    Valencia Alonso BDavies
    Sanchez Alli King Zaha
    Kane (c) Lukaku Kun

    Foster Clayton Robertson Lescott

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

      CLAYTON AND LESCOTT

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

        Enablers!

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

      Looking good! Very good, in fact.

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

        Cheers! Fingers crossed!

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

      Tremendous

  19. Liastro ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Aguero -> Kane for free, or save FT?

    Heaton Pickford
    Williams Davies Francis Olsson Pieters
    Alli Firmino Siggy Tadic Fletcher
    Aguero Costa Lukaku

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

      I did it

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

      I'd do Costa > Kane.

      I did Costa > Kane **

    3. super zlatan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I did it myself

  20. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Kane, Aguero or Lukaku. Who shall I cap?

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

      Kane

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

      That's my front 3 and I've gone for Kane

  21. Kalou
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Is it stupid to put kane in on wc and remove next week for ibra?
    A.just go for ibra
    B.kane all the way

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

      B. Plus Ibra. Can't you get both?

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

        I could but means no lukaku

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

          Lukaku > Ibra next week for me

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

            Ide need to do a hit for that next week

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

    So TM after those posts what did you decide?

    Aguero Davies > Kane Gibson?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, wish I sold Eriksen/Llorente tbh. Hopefully it works out.

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

        I think you made the right call

        Eriksen will get a point for the CS too and will likely get some returns. Gibson looks a great option next week too

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Losing Aguero equals losing Lukaku probably.

  23. New Post
  24. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    The more I think about it, i just wanna say "F it" and TC someone this week

  25. MMN
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    2 FT, 0.4m ITB.

    Pickford (Valdes)
    Valencia, Davies, Huth, (Stephens, Chambers)
    Sanchez, Firmino, Alli, Coutinho, Walcott
    Ibra, Lukaku (Anichebe)

    Thoughts appreciated!!

  26. jurgenklopp.8
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    would you start holebas (SWA) or yoshida (MCI)???

  27. #Swish41
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Is it just Palace, Man U and Boro with a double next week?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      yes

      1. #Swish41
        • 15 Years

        Cheers TM

  28. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Who's the next best option in the Boro defense after Gibson?

  29. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Best borough defender for DGW (will have to bring in on w/c tonight).
    A. Chambers
    B. Barragan
    C. Fabio
    D. Friend

    Cannot afford Gibson.

  30. Red or Dead
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Start Valencia or Alonso??

    1. #Swish41
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Alonso every time in this fixture for me
