Captains

Vote in the Captain poll for Gameweek 18

There is a whole of options for the captain’s armband in Gameweek 18 and now you can cast your vote in the latest poll below.

Manchester City’s home match against Crystal Palace instantly looks like one fixture to target with the defending Premier League champions so dominant at home.

Leroy Sané (£9.6m), Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.2m) are expected to be the most backed Citizens given their form at the Etihad Stadium this season.

Those perhaps unwilling to risk a ticket for ‘Pep Guardiola Roulette’ might look to Tottenham’s Sunday afternoon trip to face Everton.

Harry Kane (£12.6m) may have been sluggish against Burnley but the Toffees are without a clean sheet since Gameweek 13, while the Spurs forward netted a brace amid criticism from Fantasy managers at Goodison Park last season.

Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) and Son Heung-min (£8.5m) may also be considered by anyone with little faith in Marco Silva’s defence.

A return to a more familiar attacking style for Liverpool in their 3-1 win over Manchester United may reinvigorate support for Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) and his colleagues.

Elsewhere, an in-form Eden Hazard (£11.0m) hosts a Leicester City side without a clean sheet on the road since Gameweek 11.

Arsenal are the outfit hosting the obliging Burnley defence in Gameweek 18 but it will be interesting to see how much the disappointing scores of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.5m) and Alexander Lacazette (£9.6m), combined with the Clarets’ tight display against Spurs, will affect their share of this week’s vote.

    Struggling to decide with this lot, I have 2ft and 1.3m ITB. Any suggestions much appreciated.
    My thoughts so far have been about bringing Hazard in, Fabs for Patricio and Abou for Kane then change back next week.

    Foster
    Alonso Robbo Balbuena

    Rich Salah Anderson Sane

    Pat Doherty Wan b Hojbjerg

        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        50m richer because of Klopp downing him in an embarrassing manner. Mourinho owes him a drink!

  6. Debauchy

    1. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years

      We can but hope for Jose mk2..

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      They'll be crap for a good while yet. Still plenty of enjoyment to be had.

  7. BoleynWin
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Michael Carrick huge bookies favourite to be next permanent Man Utd manager.... can’t see him managing ego’s like Pogba etc

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Isn't he touring with Mike and the Mechanics?

    2. THEKID_88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Carrick not doing it

  8. Amey

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Thank god i have both transfers intact.
    Man United players need a reckoning now that they are free from the bus

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      you will soon realise that players are also sh*t 😆

  9. Cheshire Duck

    Might have asked hundreds times, sorry : Who's Brighton's second GK choice, Button or Steele ?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Button

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Used to be Button. He got injured, so Steele became second choice
      He's back from injury. Steele is steele (not sorry :p ) second choice

    3. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Steele

  10. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

  11. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Paul pogba should be sold now !
    He was also culprit for the downfall

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Same happened at Chelsea.

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        And Madrid, and Chelsea the first time

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Perfect for him to stay now.
      Mourinho got Mourinho sacked.

  12. Wardinator
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Man U players all of a sudden looking more promising!

  13. Mini Mane Mo
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez will probably declare himself fit this weekend!

  14. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Bus owners unions are scared they won't have much to do at Manchester now..

  15. Demel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    With United sacking Mourinho and a favourable upcoming run. Which United assets have you now got your eyes on?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      The Virus!

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Have to hear what Big Sam says when he gets appointed.

    3. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mctominay

    4. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Dalot could be interesting

    5. The Greenback Boogie
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Rashford. And maybe Lindelof at that price & if he starts.

    6. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Martial or Rashford, depending on who comes out of this weekend's game looking more favoured by the new man.

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Martial Young Alexis Pogba all could be interesting

      Neeed to see them in action for a week or two first though.

      No go zone until GW23 imo - GW18-21 are in the next 10 days, then a 2 week gap to GW22...

      If they do well up to GW22 then maybe...

    8. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I have Martial right now, so probably will keep him one more week. I'll see what to do later.

    9. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Still on Rashford

  16. simong1
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Fraser (BHA) or Snodgrass (WAT) for this GW? Already have Wilson

  17. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Carrick to be replaced as caretaker after 38hrs according to SSN. Wonder what's happening in the next 2 days that they needed to appoint someone specifically for that period of time? Christmas lunch? Secret Santa?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Zizu

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Wenger

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Good shout. Unlikely but would definitely improve the style of play.

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Even Pardew will improve the style of play.

    3. Andy'81
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Someone has to hand out the bibs at training.

  18. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Mobile phone networks in Surrey down with all the Man U fans texting the news to each other.

    1. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      They all changed out of Man U earlier

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      That’s a good one.

  19. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Big Sam to steer them clear of relegation next?

    He has a proven track record!

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That would make my xmas

    2. rnrd
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Laurent blanc could be united new coach but I think they will finish the year Irh carrick/giggs and try to sign Zidane this summer

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Zidane is unemployed - why wait for the summer?

        1. rnrd
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Because Zidane will not jump into this mess right now

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            That makes zero sense.

          2. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Why?

    3. Champions united
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      How happy United fans are after jose sacked

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Happy until Carrick pull the team even deeper.
        They were happy when Moyes was gone. Van Gaal took the team backward again. Then Happy when Mou came, and now happy for Mou to go.

        1. JBG
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Carrick is not taking charge of the team, they are looking at an outside appointment to be made as interim manager until summer. Carrick is just taking charge of the training.

    4. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Stick a fork in Mourinho he's done at big clubs now!

    5. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I would like to declare myself fit for this weekend

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Good man. I bet you won't hand back the cash for all those weeks of 'injuries' 😉

    6. Aguerrrooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Is there an issue with the members tables at the moment?

      I cant find Salah on any of these 3 tables for the last 6 gameweeks.

      deadly assassins
      one stat to rule them all
      midfield marauders

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yes looks like there is

      2. Lightbody
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Pogba's points per minutes?

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          0.000014

        2. El-Kloppico
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Easy.. just divide 2 by 90min.

      3. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Everyone talking about the new Man U manager candidates.
        Would you ris your reputation in taking on the job?
        Gary Neville going on about Poch. Get real Gary, why would he want that job?
        Zidane would be mad to take it on.
        Conte is free at the end of the season. What a bad mix that would be.

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Hiddink until end of season.

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

        2. Roy Rovers
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Steele ahead of Button at the moment.

      5. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        No money nor spot to get martial in. But utd's fixtures are great

        G2G or use FT on something? 0.9 ITB

        Foster
        Alonso / Robbo / Kola
        Sterling (C) / Salah / Rich / Fraser
