Captains

Captain Sensible – Liverpool and Manchester clubs central to armband debate

Fantasy Premier League managers are faced with another tricky call for the captaincy in Gameweek 29.

Ahead of yet another round of fixtures, it looks as if assets from Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool will be the key options.

As ever, we are here to help find the best candidates for the armband with some in-depth statistical analysis.

Captain Poll

Paul Pogba (£8.9m) looks set to win this week’s captain poll but not by a huge margin. At the time of writing, he has a 23% share of the vote ahead of Southampton’s visit to Old Trafford. The French midfielder has blanked in just one home game since Ole Gunnar Solskjae rook over.

Close behind him are Manchester City pair Sergio Aguero (£11.7m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.4m) who are neck-and-neck for second place on 17% each. Pep Guardiola’s men are travelling to Bournemouth in Gameweek 29, which will have raised interest in his Fantasy assets. Aguero looks the more dangerous but Sterling is the more likely to start.

Eden Hazard (£10.8m) makes an appearance in the top five for the first time in a while, ahead of Chelsea’s trip to now-managerless Fulham. The Belgian midfielder is not especially in any kind of form but the fixture is particularly appealing, the Cottagers still in possession of the worst defensive record in the league.

Mohamed Salah (£13.5m) completes the top five but has just 7% of the vote after blanking for the fourth time in his last five Premier League outings. Interestingly, he still has more backing than Sadio Mané (£9.7m), who has just 1.4% of the vote despite drastically outscoring him across the last six Gameweeks. That could mean that managers are largely put off by the fixture, an away trip to Everton in the latest edition of the Merseyside derby.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) and Raúl Jiménez (£6.9m) are the best of the rest with a 3.4% share each. Harry Kane (£12.4m) and Son Heung-min (£8.9m) have also picked up minimal support ahead of the north London derby with 2% each.

    Guys why no Man Utd fixture for gw33 in fpl site?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Moved to 35

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Oly that? What's the reason?

        1. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 29 days ago

          Fa cup

        2. Grounderz
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 29 days ago

          Lots of teams as well. Not sure why you didn’t get the info.

    Little help here, 0.6 itb with free transfer. Would you save or get in Sterling for -4 and captain?

    Fab
    Doherty Robbo Pereira
    Pogba Salah Mane Son
    Kun Jiminez Barnes

    Guaita Camarasa Kola AWB

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I did Son > Sterling and captaining him. Did it for free, but might make another move for a hit.

    2. Tommo1888
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Considering this myself !

  3. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Salah, Auba and Fanderson to Aguero, Mane and Hazard for -4?

    Planning to free hit for GW31, so not worried about the blanks.
    How does it sound?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Mad imo but could work!

    2. Bird Raymond
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Will be a good 'rough with the smooth' whichever way it goes!

    3. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Keep anderson with them fixtures and 31

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      bit sideways move within Liverpool but it is close to getting a non player in Anderson out, Kun away is not as high scoring as home and Jesus situation is not clear so i´d wait on that. Emery is a lottery when it comes to predicting who´s to start or not. Would expect him to start Auba vs Spurs and he did alright last time if memory serves right. Hm, it´s the minus 4 here, and apart from Anderson who is useless no significant upside imo. If you are certain that Kun starts vs bournemouth then i would say decent chance he outscores auba. Liverpool forwards can change from week to week (statswise they are pretty close). Hazard is tempting vs Fulham and if on his day he could singlehandedly gives you your hit back.
      I wouldn´t advice either for or against, go with your gut on this one

  4. Rinseboy

    Team ok to save an FT? Doubts over Yedlin or Zaba starting but not sure if anyone else worth bringing in?

    Pat
    Yedlin Robbo Doherty 
    Sterling Salah Mane Pogba 
    Aguero Rondon Jimi
    Hamer McNeil Zaba AWB

    1. denial

      Looks great. Save FT

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years

        thanks denial

  5. The 5% Team

    Something different...who will score better Jota (CAR) of Pedro (ful)?

    1. Fantasy Premington
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I wonder if Jota could be dropped, nevermind score

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        I got rid, Brooks is back

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Pedro is a funny cat. Stats through the roof. Doesn't convert relatively. Fulham prime feeding ground though

    3. Tommo1888
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Jota seems a flash in the pan . I’d go with Pedro .

    4. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Pedro

    5. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Thnx guys...kinda like the punt on Pedro, but maybe I'm a bit too focused on the fact he's playing 31/33 and might have a nice DGW32

    6. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      If Pedro was nailed I'd be all over him, but he seems to be rotated with Willian a little bit too much for my liking. He sat out the Huddersfield win completely and that's the exact type of game you want him for.

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        true....but he did start 5 of the last 6 matches, even though he never makes it a full 90 minutes

    7. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      if both starts Pedro imo

  6. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    I'm building a team towards gwk 31. Is it silly to bring in Sterling ahead of Hazard at this point? I'll captain whichever one I bring in

    A. Hazard

    B. Sterling

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Depends on rest of team. Not silly at all if you feel you have enough for 31

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Not silly. Points mean prizes.

  7. pjomara
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    I see lots of posts about selling Son. I have him but think Arsenal (H) is a decent enough fixture for him I reckon. Any Son owners keeping him?

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I decided to sell for Haz. Not entirely comfortable about it but setting up for coming weeks.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      have finally decided to keep him

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Knee jerked because exact many for Mane yesterday before price rise. Chose between the 2 three weeks ago and Son has disappointed

    4. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I am keeping. Think he will do well

    5. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      No idea what to do myself. Have 0 ManC players so Son to Sterling tempting. Since summer 2018 Arsenal have only kept a clean sheet away against Blackpool, Vorskla, Sporting, Quarabag and Boreham Wood...

    6. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I see it being a tight game, so sellers won't be punished too hard this week IMO.

    7. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I sold for sterling. Spurs look off form and wanted to captain sterling in next 2

    8. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I'm keeping - North London derbies are usually won by the home team and there always seems to be goals

      1. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        It was 1-0 to Spurs last season. I see another tight one. Hope I'm wrong though.

  8. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Team set up for this week:

    Ryan

    VVD Bennett Luiz

    Haz Mane Salah Pogba

    Kun Jim Barnes

    // Pereira / Bed / Diang

    Captain Kun or Pog?
    Play Pereira over anyone else?

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      If Jesus is out cap Kun, otherwise Pogba

    2. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I would captain Haz if fit. rest looks gtg

  9. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Captain who?

    1 hazard
    2 sterling
    3 pogba

  10. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    FT used for Auba -> Higuain.

    Do I need to do anything else? Or is the team ready to go? 0FT, 3.9 mill in the bank.

    Fabianski
    Robertson TAA Doherty
    Salah Pogba(c) Son Anderson
    Jimenez Rondon Higuain

    Button; AWB, Camarasa, Digne

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Nope looks good.

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Son to hazard?!

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Or Anderson to hazard

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 29 days ago

          I think Son will do alright so not worth the hit. Anderson out would not add to my GW31 player tally 🙁

  11. Trane84
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Foster | Boruc*
    Robertson* | Kola | Bednarek | Doherty | Pereira*
    Son | Pogba | Salah* | Lookman* | Jota
    Rashford | Auba | Jimenez

    * = playing GW31

    This GW I'm thinking:

    Son/Lookman/Auba -> Sterling/Vardy/4.8mf (Hayden/Longstaff/Other) - gives me one extra player for GW31, roll FT next week then do:

    Sterling & Pog -> Hazard Fanderson ready for GW31, which gives me 8 players.

    Current chip planning is building a team for GW31 / WC32 / FH33 / BB OR TC35

    Does this all sound sensible?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I'm ok with initial transfers and you get Vardy for Fulham at home which looks juicy but Anderson is so out of form perhaps reassess

      1. Trane84
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Thanks mate. The Hazard & Fanderson buy does depend on how they perform in GW29&30.

  12. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Son to...

    A. Sterling for the next 2 gw’s, and Hazard for gw31....or
    B. Hazard this gw, forget Sterling

    In both cases can get 11 for 31&33. Thanks.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I went A. Happier captaining sterling

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      A

    3. Trane84
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I'm planning on doing A myself.

    4. Badluck Jonathan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      A

  13. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Which one to bench among these 8 attackers?

    Salah(eve) • Pogba(SOT) • Son(ARS) • Sterling (bou) • Jota(CAR)
    Rashford(SOT) • Barnes(CRY) • Rondon(whu)

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Rondon

    2. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      rondon probably

    3. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Jota or rondon

    4. Trane84
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Rondon. Jota is in last chance saloon for me.

    5. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Jota - not sure he'll start

  14. Tommo1888
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Kolasinac, Richarlson and Aubameyang OUT

    TAA, Sterling and A. Barnes IN for a -4 hit

    Thoughts?

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Would be tempted to keep rich for 31 if uve had him this long but that looks solid.
      Id go wood over barnes if u can afford it

  15. KingOllie
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Kun owners - after all your luck this last few weeks, its time for a benching.

    Now its Raheems turn to do bits

  16. konrad.sygula95
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Would you do Sane & Laporte to Duffy & Sterling?
    Yes or no?

    1. Tommo1888
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Would you not prefer a Newcastle defender ?

      1. Afghanistanislas
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Yep, Lascelles/Schar over Duffy

  17. Denver Omelette
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Would you do Aguero + Son -> Higuain + Sterling for -4?
    Pep's comment worries me..
    Cant get mane cause already have 3 pool.

  18. MJFainty
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Hey guys,

    Currently on this team for this GW, have 0ITB and 1FT.

    Chip strategy is FH31, WC34 and tossing up BB/TC for 35.

    Any obvious changes to make or roll one over?

    Patricio
    Robertson / Doherty / Diop
    Salah / Son / Pogba / Richarlison
    Aguero / Auba / Rondon

    Etheridge / AWB / Bednarek / CHO

    Cheers in advance

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Roll FT

  19. Dreaming of glory
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Wan-b > rice?

    Rice straight in this week and then there for 31 & 33 or better to just roll transfer and get in a midfielder/striker for 31 instead.

    Currently lining up
    2-3-1 for 31 with 3 fts

    1. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I tihnk rice is a good choice + theres lots of fabianskis so covering west ham is maybe a smart play

      1. Dreaming of glory
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Cheers, slightly concerned with wh lack of cs. If rice had even a few assists it would be more tempting but currently playing bernarek(utd) or digne(LIV) with wan b out so the move to rice seems sensible enough for this week anyway

        1. KingOllie
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 29 days ago

          Yeah, aside from Liverpool/City/. All the teams are hard to predict with CS really, only Newcastle have recently shown some consistency

  20. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Really tempted to do:

    Son > Hazard(c) -4

    Would give me:

    Fab
    TAA Robertson Bennett
    Salah Sterling Pogba Hazard(c)
    Mitro Jiménez Rondon

    Boruc Camarasa Lascelles Digne

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Yeah, I did it. Bit risky but went for it.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Did you take a hit for it?
        The thing that’s making me want to do it is that it’s Fulham they are against 😯

    2. frenchfries
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Do you trust Hazard that much? I see 3 better captains in your team

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        That’s the reason I’m still on the fence about it.
        Prob is I’m not making any progress at the min as they are all the more popular (c) choices.
        Not catching any leagues or breaking into the 100k yet playing “safe”

    3. Macam Dave
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      It's a coin flip for me re hazard could explode with a 15 or another 2.

      I'm.sat here thinking shall I swap son to hazard but whatever you do will no doubt be wrong! It's been one of those season!

      Pog prob safer bet

  21. tricky80
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Got a couple of options open:
    A. Laca + FAnderson to Sterling and Barnes for -4
    Or
    B. Laca to Higuain
    Or
    C. Laca + FAnderson to Hazard and Murray for -4

    Which one?

  22. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Team will look like this if I do - AWB, Son -> Luiz, Haz

    Foster
    Robbo Luiz Doherty Bennett
    Salah Haz Pogba
    Aguero Jimenez Barnes

    Begovic Rich Digne Westwood

    Good moves?

    Rich over Bennett?

  23. DAVESAVES

    G2G or anything worth a hit? 0.6 itb
    Thanks!

    Fabianski
    Pereira / Doherty / Shaw
    Salah / Pogba / Son / Hazard
    Jimenez / Vardy / Lacazette

    Steele / Kola / Westwood / AWB

      Rice has been rubbish for me and done nothing.

      Mhki could be another Ross Barkley so bit of a punt but could pay off tho couple hard fixtures I think next

      I'm lining up Fraser soon for that spot

    Good news on Rashford. Glad I held onto him and saved transfer last gw, wasn’t convinced with Barnes or Rondón, felt like a classic transfer where you’re 4gws late

      I swopped him for Vardy last week. No regrets so far

        That made more sense if u had the cash, I’ve brought Vardy in this gw.

      The only concern is that he’ll be rested ahead of the Champions League game

    Is it absolute madness to ditch Salah at this point? I'm chasing in my cash-ML. About 40 points off the top, and we have very similar teams. All chips intact.

    I can do Salah + Fanderson + Patricio > Sterling + Hazard + Boruc (-4)

    Have Antonio for West Ham cover over the juicy fixtures.

      If you have Mane as well I'd go for it

        I do!

      I'd stick on Pat if you can afford it? Hits for keepers rarely work out.

        I need to get 0.5 from somewhere.

        Team as of now;

        Hamer - Patricio
        Shaw - Doherty - Pereira - Wan-B - Bednarek
        Salah - Pogba - Anderson - Mané - Antonio
        Rondon - Jimenez - Aguero

  29. g40steve

    Flappy

    TTA, Doherty, Luiz

    Salah, Pogba C, Mane, Son

    Jiménez, Kun, Rashford

    Boruc, Pereira, Lascelles, Brooks

    GTG

    Any changes YOU would do?

    Reliable reports that Man Utd are not willing to offer de Gea the same wages at Sanchez so he could move on next summer when his contract expires.

    And that's what a lot of people said was the issue with their 'it's pocket change for us' mentality when they signed him.

    1. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      As good as he is, I don't think any goalkeeper is worth that sort of wage.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Totally disagree. De Gea has been the difference between top-6 and mid-table the last few seasons.

    2. KingOllie

      Wengers final trick. Give UTD alexis so that in 2 years he will push out DDG.

      Isn't Sanchez a bit short for a keeper?

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Get Heaton or Pope & wave good bye.
      Sanchez not worth £400k but fair play to him for getting it!

        I'm not Scouse.

        And I never knew I couldn't post about football on a football forum.

          Isn't there a big thing on this forum about posting credible sources for football information?

          A subscription article that what can be read doesn't even support what you have posted at the start of the thread.

          Desperate LFC supporters putting 2+2 coming up with 5 love it thanks for the morning entertainment.

      I'm completely neutral here but I've had a feeling for a few years that De Gea wants to eventually play for Madrid. It feels similar to the Hazard situation.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        That may have went out the window when they signed Courtois - apparently he's having a mare there though.

      2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Would that feeling be in any way corroborated by the fact that he was, what, fourteen seconds away from actually doing so? Thanks, Cap.

      I still can't believe Sanchez is getting 400K/week, but if anyone actually thinks he's worth half that and DdG isn't worth every last penny, you're either delusional or a United hater. Best 'keeper in the world, biggest difference-maker at his position for years now.

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        No footballer is actually worth £400K a week. It's so sad what's happened.

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 29 days ago

          No footballer is worth 250 mil, either, but here we are. Ain't free economy grand?

      said it was stupid money when they signed him.
      Wasn't worth the money then and it's the knock-on effect it has on the wage structure. Basically every new contract and players want their wages at least doubled.
      As good as DDG is hard to justify those sort of wages for a keeper when compared to other keeper wages
