Captain Sensible – Aguero and Salah in close call for Gameweek 30

1,457 Comments

Liverpool and Manchester City options look to be the key players in the Gameweek 30 captaincy debate.

Both sides face crucial home fixtures in the Premier League title race and some of their key players have a strong case for the armband.

The Captain Sensible article is here once again to analyse the data of these assets in plenty of detail, as well as the attacking statistics of their teams and defensive capabilities of their opponents.

Captain Poll

In one of the closest calls of the season, it’s been neck-and-neck between Mohamed Salah (£13.4m) and Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) all week in the captain poll. The Egyptian took the lead on Monday but by late Tuesday, the Manchester City man had overtaken him.

At the time of writing, Salah is back on top but not by much. Ahead of Burnley’s trip to Anfield, he has the backing of 28.7% while Aguero has 28.67%.

The secondary options from both clubs are also in the top five with Raheem Sterling (£11.4m) garnering 10% support and Sadio Mané (£9.8m) on 4%.

Jamie Vardy (£8.9m) is the only member of the top five not to play for Liverpool or Manchester City. With Leicester hosting Fulham on Saturday afternoon, the forward has the backing of 4.5% in the vote.

The differential options for Gameweek 30 include some important candidates from previous rounds of fixtures. Paul Pogba (£9.0m) is the best of the rest with 2.3% while Harry Kane (£12.4m) has 1.87% support.

Wilfried Zaha (£6.8m), Eden Hazard (£10.8m) and Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) and Michy Batshuayi (£6.5m) are the only other options with more than 1% backing.

    Would mean likely to have 11/12 or GW33 depending on if palace qualify in fa cup so don’t know if it’s best to go with just the nine for GW31?

          I was saying one or the other. So either Son to Mane OR Shaw to trent.
          Still think keep Jimenez, he has good record vs top sides, in great form and dgw in 32, saves you a bit of value still.

            I wasn't been funny, preferred Snodgrass, then AWB, wouldn't play Jimenez v CHE!

    Best Doherty replacement for £6.1 or under? Have Bednarek, AWB, Pereira & TAA already

      Well done. Why wouldn't you use chip in 35?

      Pereira risky if you don't already have maybe avoid.
