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.

    (Kamara to be rotated with AWB, Paterson

    1. JCrosbie

      ?

      Nope

      1. JCrosbie
        • 13 Years

        Any rationale?

        My gut is saying to do it

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Nothing wrong with getting Sterling, wouldnt take Wilson out.

    3. slove
      • 6 Years

      No one else you can sacrifice for sterling ?

      1. JCrosbie

        Unfortunately not

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      dropping wilson this week may not work.

    5. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You're loosing too much quality just to get Sterling in

      People put too much amphasis on Sterling, and forget he will be rotated

      Hazard and Salah might outscore him too

      Get Sané if you need City coverage maybe?

    So Woodward has just cost United £25m by being played last year and giving Jose a new deal.

    1. Amey

      Yeah.

    2. Dr Van Nostrand

      Pretty hilarious although it is the richest club in the world by turnover

      Just wondering are there any other jobs going at ManUtd. I wouldn't mind get a decent "sack money" for not delivering anything, and just talking sh...e 🙂

    3. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      He is a virus and why anyone would want to buy him is beyond me.

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

        Seems to be doing quite well for Les Bleus. I didn't hear Juve complaining at all either. Perhaps you are looking with Mou tainted glasses

        1. Bouncebackability
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Nope. You have been seeing everything everyone else has seen right? It takes two to tango and he's been nothing but bad for United. His ego, he doesn't care. Just look at that post 10mins ago before it was deleted, the guy is classless, an absolute cretin. All made worse because he has talent and could be very good player, just seems to actively choose to be a di*k.

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

            I agree he has been nothing but bad for United but he's been fantastic for France and Juve so is it not possible that he was just a virus under Mou?

            I think too many people here only look at what players do in England. Any other club in the world would gladly have him.

            1. Roy Rovers
              • 9 Years

              And they can have him.....virus....no class

        2. tisza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          surrounded by top quality players in both cases.
          Doesn't look like Juve have suffered too much after his departure.

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

            They are a well run club took ManU to the cleaners. Got him for free from them and then sold him back for £100m.

            Mou wanted him so badly in the first place was supposed to transform his midfield and how did that work out for him.

            I'm not even a Pogba fan and think he is overrated by he is still a top class player that would walk into any side. Think he gets undue criticism just like Sterling. But is probably better off elsewhere now.

    4. Vobinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He should be the first out of the door to fund new additions

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He needs to get out of ths club IMHO

    6. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He should be Utd vice-captain IMO. But he can't defend, so giving him defensive responsibility is a waste of time.

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        If he can't defend, and isn't scoring 20+ goals pr season then what use is he ?

        The only glimpse of talent we have seen in PL is his creativity with 13 assists last season, but there are at a lot of better playmakers than him out there...

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          He needs to be used in a free attacking role with no defensive responsibility. He will score the goals if he is allowed to make runs into the box and play forward passes from higher up the pitch.

    7. Danno - Emre Canada

      Haha probably a planned sponsored tweet but I wouldn’t put it past him

    One FT and 2.7 ITB. Thoughts on these options?

    A - Hart > Fabianski
    B - Cairney > Anderson
    C - Cairney > Snoddy
    D - Other?

    Hart
    Robertson - Doherty - Bednarek
    Salah - Eriksen - Richarlison - Fraser
    Mitro - Jiminez - Kane

    Hennesey - Cairney - AWB - Duffy

  4. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    is danny ings knee-jerk?

    personally think he might be the best value player in the game for the rest of the season, attacking wise at least as that pushes out the sensation that is matt doherty

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not that kneejerk imo

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      The only thing that worries me is him being prone to injury

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        yep, this is the one big worry against him. you could say that's why we have transfers i guess. will never be captained so the hurtful early injury shouldn't ever scar too much

    3. Wally banter
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Jiminez?

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        no doubting jimenez's value too but genuinely thought this before the arsenal game, think ings has bigger scores in him, more braces and who knows maybe a hattrick one day too.
        the main appeal or change aside from finally getting fit is this new manager, hassenkeegan

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully he isn't.
      Getting him this week

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      his injury could be an issue, was holding his leg after every tackle...

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        will keep an eye, haven't seen any of the action

    6. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      a stat:
      kane 12.5mil, 16 starts, 6 non penalties.
      ings 5.4mil, 11 starts, 5 non penalties.

      i had kane for burnley, tonnes of other people have kane with those fixtures and aguero getting injured.

      i cannot justify that 7mil (7mil!!!!) extra for the same output, 7mil that means i've got tom cairney instead of eden hazard

      1. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Couldn't agree more!

      2. Gooner Kebab
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Sold.

      3. Astronautovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        So you are planning to transfer kane out for ings and invest into midfield and defence?

    7. James H
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Longer term looks the best way to go as part of the uber cheap frontline such as Ings-Jiminez-Kamara Not sure right now with two nice fixs followed by two tough ones and the fact the matches come thick and fast given his fitness record.

    8. Saxe-Gotha
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I had him before the injury and just got rid of Laca this week to bring him back in. With some of the sprints he was putting in to try and close down the ball, I didn't see any signs of a hamstring problem. With the more attacking philosophy of the new manager, I expect good things.

    9. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If he stays fit, I'm sure he will be tremendous value. But a couple of tough fixtures coming up, so may wait a few weeks.

    10. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      not knee-jerk as such. He was good value before he got injured.
      Not easy for any striker playing for Mark Hughes.
      Only concern is whether sunday was a one-off in that he maximised his underlying stats. Only 2 penalty area touches and 4 passes in opponents half.
      Have to factor in Arsenal didn't play brilliantly but still better than a lot of PL sides

    11. MTPockets
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Can't get him back this gw, so maybe from GW22 after MCI/che.

        Leaves more time to watch and weigh up Kane - picked specifically for the fixtures + less rotatability (not worked out brilliantly so far). That's perhaps the risk with Ings right now - can/will he play 4 games in 12 days?

      • avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        IMO he's a fantastic option. I think I'm right in saying only Kane, Aguero, Aubameyang, Wilson and Vardy amongst forwards have a better xG so far this season, which is pretty impressive when you consider how bad Southampton have been.

    12. boc610
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Jose must think sometimes" if only I didnt fire that physio for doing her job ". It's been a disaster for him since then ( aside from.his Disney trademarked " treble" )

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

      The absolute state of ManU's hiring since Fergie. Somehow Fellaini has outlasted Moyes, Van Gaal and Jose

    14. slove
      • 6 Years

      Lacazette, Bennett and Camarasa to Tripper, Ings and Martial a good move with the Mourinho news ?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Martial >> ando/ snoddy/ Richa
        Otherwise great move IMO

        1. slove
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Have ando and Rich , think snoddy is crazy value but don’t want to play double west ham tbh

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Martial is risky pick now IMO

      2. JCrosbie
        • 13 Years

          filthy defence for me this week

      Have 3 wolves assets. Bennett is bench fodder. Patricio and Jimenez the other 2. Also want to get rid of Dunk. Which is the better move long term?

      A. Dunk to Digne (Even if it means he might not get much this week against Spurs)
      B. Patricio to Fabianksi
      C. Jimenez to Ings
      D. Mitro to Rashford (Bit of a punt)

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        A or D

        I'd wait and see if Rashford keeps his place under Carrick this week

        If he does, Rashford could be a great option!

      2. MTPockets

          B if he's your only playing GK

            I think kola plays this weekend but arsenal frailties at the back a little more exposed than ever. Impossible to know. Save a decent option

              Bit more on caretaker manager at United. Will be someone 'steeped in the traditions of the club'. Not Carrick, Butt, Neville G or P. Currently tying up loose ends with other interests which are not expected to present any issues. Announcement expected before weekend. #mufc

                Stop feeding crap.........

                The caretaker-manager to replace Mourinho, who took over from Louis van Gaal in May 2016, will not be assistant coach Michael Carrick or academy boss Nicky Butt.

                The candidate will be drawn from outside the club, but will not be former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

            Do you think that Man Utd assets are now more attractive?

            What players are you now going to monitor?

            I’m considering a punt on Rashford, surely a sane manager will play him every week?

            I’d appreciate your views:

            1. Team Bobcat
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Will have to wait and see. Can not be less attractive anyway

            2. Alexis Nonsense
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              The type of managers they have gone for suggest they'll get another "José van Gaal" in so I'd be careful to jump on any of them before we know

            3. Piggs Boson
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              I have Martial and will be keeping for this week.

              I worry about Rashford rotation, but there is a chance the new interim manager will find a way to play them both with Lukaku.

              I'm looking forward to Matic being dropped so we get more dynamism in midfield. Should help transitioning out of defence and keeping possession more.

              1. Saxe-Gotha
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Truth. Matic needed a replacement this past summer imho.

              2. Eze Really?
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                I have been going on about Martial like scratched record before the Jose news.
                Best points per minute in the game.

                1. Piggs Boson
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Had him before the FFS bandwagon started and loved his points. Was a nice differential for a while. The injury sucked balls, but hopefully he can return to his previous form. Very strong underlying stats, and I'm keen to keep.

            4. applebonkers
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              is obvious to now say martial and pogba, but martial was a starter even under mourinho by the end, only missed out recently due to injury set-back. pogba for sure, but he may have lost pens to martial, still a wait and see imo, so many other good mids right now that 5 spots is no way near enough, e.g i'm cursing myself for not selling fraser and richarlison for snodgrass or felipe anderson, fraser and richarlison are great options!

              rashford am only interested if he becomes the #9 ahead of lukaku. thought a couple of months ago was no one will give lukaku as much gametime as mourinho did, but then even he dropped him recently. think winger rashford will always flatter to deceive, for every fulham haul there are at least 1 or 2 frustrating 2 pointers

            5. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Martial points per minute the best in the FPL.
              He will get minutes now and recovered from injury.

            6. Saxe-Gotha
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              If they manage to sign Jardim, I'll be bringing in Martial.

            7. child of God
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Basically all attacking players as I expect more offensive play from now on.

          3. Team Bobcat
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Finally guys. Appreciate opinions. Which combo would you prefer going forward.

            Salah Pedro or Hazard Alli

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Who do you think will play more - Pedro or Alli? Would pick that pair

                1. Team Bobcat
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Guess thats what it really boils down to. Good spot

              • Amey
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Hazard + Alli ( Son more explosive)

                1. THFC4LIFE
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  This

                  1. Team Bobcat
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    Are you giving son the nod ahead of alli??

                    1. THFC4LIFE
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 7 Years
                      5 years, 4 months ago

                      I would prefer Son over Alli

                2. Team Bobcat
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Any other midfielder I may be overlooking in that price range. Guaranteed starter a huge bonus...willian.

                  Problem with the salah combo is i am limitted to 6.5m max.

                  The other has a 9.5m max

              • Alexis Nonsense
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Hazard seem too good to ignore with those fixtures

                And Alli could be good (can also become Son or any other decent mids in that pricerange if he fails to return)

                1. Team Bobcat
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  This is another good point. Much easier to swap alli for another than trying to plug pedro with another in same price range

              • Wardinator
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Haz Alli

              • 7 Years

              Salah Brooks and Auba

              To

              Sterling Hazard and Rashford for a hit is tempting me

              Thoughts?

              1. Eze Really?
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Martial scores points at twice the rate Rashford does.

              2. Alexis Nonsense
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                No brainer

                I like the Rashford punt, but could do a safer one like Chicharito if you have no Fanderson, or Jimenez if you don't have him?

                I've actually gone for Fanderson + Chicha, just hope they keep it up in this good run of fixtures

              3. Karan14
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Not bad moves those but Auba & Salah could backfire massively.

                1. THFC4LIFE
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  That’s the only worry mate, especially with the fixtures

                  1. Alexis Nonsense
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    If it helps I did these moves yeasterday (slightly worried myself):

                    Masuaku, Alonso, Auba --> Hazard, Luiz, Chicharito

                    Salah doesn't worry me too much, as he needs to haul every other game to keep up with other assets at that price

                    Auba might backfire, but overall quality should cover an inconsistent Auba

              4. Team Bobcat
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Looks very tempting indeed. I am not sold on rashford for now. Ings price and form more difficult to ignore. Rashford will be playing second fiddle behind lukaku. New manager will have to try and ignite lukaku. My thoughts

              5. Amey
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Like it. Just not sold on Rash as fpl asset.

              Paterson owners - how's his form lately? Still looking dangerous in terms of chances/shots?

                Haven't seen the games, but Cardiff manager told in interview that they are looking for a striker in January

              Time to get UTD players in draft?

              My current midfield:Snodgrass,Jota,Richarlison,Son,Madisson

              free agents include: Alexis sanchez, Lindgard. Would you replace any of my current midfield with one of those 2 and take a punt?

              Ederson (Foster)
              Daniels|Robbo|Alonso (Doherty|Wan-B)
              Hazard (C)|Sane|Anderson|Son|Fraser
              Aub(VC)|Wilson (Jiminez)

              Got to use my Christmas wildcard soon, not to sure how i could go about using it.
              I think i'm going to avoid getting Salah and Kane, maybe ditch Alonso/Wilson in order to switch Sane -->Sterling.

              Bit clueless as it stands, any input appreciated ?

              Hey, Wenger is free isn't he?

              Would be so funny if Wenger "steals" José's job...

                everyone needs to wait a week or 2 to see who Utd bring in and what set-up they are going to play.
                Besides seeing as Pogba runs the club he might fancy the number 9 role:)

                  Or maybe CB so he can put in minimal effort running up and down the pitch.

                    Yeah more likely that Roten... His behavior on the pitch has been laughable in the recent matches he has played. Such a frustrating player.

                  Yeah. No point even talking about their players until we see how they line up a few times.

                What lineup would you like to see Man Utd (barring no injuries) using going forward?

                  Fred is pretty good defensively so I'd like to see him holding. Probably unrealistic, but I don't care, just desperate to see some offensive football.

                  Dalot Bailly Rojo Shaw
                  ...Lingard Fred Pogba

                  Leg-breaking steely CBs, and pace everywhere else.

                  Screw balance.

                Pogba did ask for captions for his tweet so Gary Neville's given him one

                "you do one as well!" 🙂
