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.

    Any thoughts on siggy out for zaha?

    1. Belli2007
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Did that myself. Appreciate they are tough games, but DGW next week has to be enticing

    Everyone shipping Kun for Kane.... Especially for -4

    Kun could easily score against Southampton. Doesn't he play better away from home?

    Kane has Erikson, alli and son to share the points.....for free i see it as a it's ok but for -4...... Madness

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

      When Spurs score, Kane is almost always in the points. Kun seems to be a 1 goal man recently.

        8 years, 9 months ago

        Agreed Kane brace tmra Eriksen both assisted and a cleanie for Vertonghen

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

          Don't forget Son! 😛

    2. Big Mac 24
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I kept Kuhn and shipped Zlatan for Kane, also have Lukaku. Have Bavies and Eriksen, and think Alli's production will drop off slightly with Kane back

    3. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      Kun (c)

  4. Les Bleus

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

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

      Barragan when I asked last week...and I got him

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

        Cheers.

      Boro fan. Gibson > Valdes > Chambers > Friend > Fabio > Ayala > Barragan > Espinosa. Choose Barragan as Chambers and Friend have only just returned to light training. Rubbish player though.
      I don't know why people are bringing in Boro defenders though. Although likely down we're still more likely to attack under Agnew than hold tight. It isn't Karanka football anymore but similarly dull.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I am happier now I was .1 from getting Gibson last week - so I ended up getting valdes and fabio to fund Kane purchase.

        I do not plan to play the boro defenders this week.
        I read fabio was only concussed 7 day protocol.
        So I figured he is most likely to play two games in the dgw
        Considering he can play left/right full back and friend is still an injury doubt, and Baragan is not supposed to be very good.

        Sound logic?

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Barragan is very solid but doesn't get forward like the others so less attacking potential

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

    Hi all. A bit stumped this week:

    Pickford (Foster)
    Walker Davies Pieters (Barragan, Browning)
    Sanchez Siggy King Alli (Carroll)
    Aguero Vardy Lukaku (c)

    Only 15 clear in ML, second has son, walker and alli.

    a) king > zaha
    b) Walker/Vardy > Kane/Holgate (or palace/boro def under 5m for the double) -4
    c) Walker/Aguero > Kane/Valencia (or Bailly) -4

    Or anything else....

    Cheers all, really no idea what to do!

  6. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 9 months ago

    Would you play DeRoon next week instead of one of these

    Eriksen Sanchez Zaha Siggy

    Even though he was a dgw I can't see why he should play

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

      don't think I would tbh

    2. Big Mac 24
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Tough one as he scored one week then gets dropped the next!

      I brought him in a week or two back with the intention of playing a 4.4 DGW player, then he gets dropped!! He's 3 goals this season, so there is a chance he could get on the scoresheet and get a clean sheet point with the two easy on paper games they have. Guess Siggy would be the only one i'd drop him for as he's bang out of form, but, has a nice fixture

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

    Pick 2 to play:

    Maguire - Brunt - Mawson - Ward-Prowse - Llorente

    Leaning towards Maguire & JWP

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

    tc sanchez 36 bad form bad fixtures or lukaku 33 good form good fixtures?

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

      *good fixture

  9. Aikon123
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Would you get Kane in for Ibra for a free?

    1. Belli2007
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      With Ibra on DGW next week??

      1. Aikon123
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I know, that's what I'm thinking as well, just scared of not owning kane this week

        1. Belli2007
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Tough call. I take it you can't get in addition to Ibra?

    2. Big Mac 24
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, you can always get Ibra back in next week

  10. keresmi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I'm on a WC and I have Zaha, Townsend, and Hennessey (I will play BB next week). I consider to replace Townsend to PVA due to offensive potential, but I'm not sure that he is ready to play. What do you think about that?

    1. Big Mac 24
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I would, his flag is removed and I think he'll be straight back in - i picked him up this week in anticipation

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

    is valdes or hennessey better options in there double than jaku or heaton

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

      For sure!

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

        which one then

        palace keeper and mid def or mid keeper and palace def

  12. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years

    1. KISSES
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes between Calleri lol

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

    So Kane to Benteke is a go right?

  14. Monsieur Cantona
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    3rd in my mini league, chasing down top with tc, wc and bench boost in fact.

    Feel like 37 best for bb, with tc either this week or next, choice of Kane, lukaku this or ibra next game week. Any thoughts ?

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

    A) vardy -> Kane, next week kane-> Ibra

    B) Llorente -> Benteke

    1. Belli2007
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A

  16. Fantasyfootballer
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I currently have 2 FT and 0 ITB

    Foster - Jaku
    Pieters - Lovren - Baines - Valencia - Robertson
    Sanchez - Eriksen - Sterling - Coutinho - Fletcher
    Ibra - Lukaku - Carroll

    Will Carroll play?

    Think i may use 1 transfer to change Foster to Hennessey/ Valdes.

    What else would you look to change?

  17. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      Schlupp has done ok in his absence - would be rough on him if he is dropped for both games in the DGW

  23. cuppatea78
    • 13 Years
