Captains

Liverpool to dominate Blank Gameweek 31 captaincy

Liverpool options are expected to dominate the Blank Gameweek 31 captaincy.

You can now vote in the latest poll embedded below and watch our live video on the debate on our YouTube channel at 12:30pm today.

The Reds are travelling to face the worst defence in the Premier League when Fulham host them on Sunday afternoon.

That means that Mohamed Salah (£13.4m), Sadio Mané (£9.9m) or maybe even Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) will all compete for the armband.

The Senegalese is the most in-form option but most of his attacking returns have come at Anfield in recent Gameweeks.

The Liverpool defence may also receive some consideration with Andrew Robertson (£6.9m), Virgil van Dijk (£6.6m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.5m) the most-owned.

Chelsea are probably the only side that could realistically challenge the Reds’ stranglehold on the Gameweek 31 captaincy.

After proving the hero for Chelsea against Wolves, Eden Hazard (£10.9m) will almost certainly be the most fashionable skipper among Maurizio Sarri’s men.

They travel to face Everton, which may see Gonzalo Higuaín (£9.6m) also receive some consideration but he has only scored against Huddersfield and Fulham since arriving in England.

Bournemouth could be the provider of some differentials this week as they host Newcastle.

Callum Wilson‘s (£6.4m) return from injury through him back into the mix for Fantasy inclusion, and also boosted the credentials of Ryan Fraser (£6.2m).

    Is Mepham nailed?

    most important players for 31 and 33?

      Chelsea & LFC players I guess. A Bournemouth attacker can also be important.

      However plays up front for West Ham. Hatty guaranteed.

    Out of these 3 teams which do you guys think would be the best option to get a GW31 and GW33 defender from?

    Bournemouth (NEW, BUR)
    Leicester (Bur, Hud)
    Newcastle (Bou, CPL)

    Fixtures are better for Bournemouth and Leicester, but they are far more leaky than Newcastle. Tough call, thoughts?

    I'm a non Salah owner and I'm interested to know how many will be capping him this week so I can gauge the level of risk I'm facing?

          My understanding of the poll is that you vote for who you think is the best captain option which won't necessarily be who you will be captaining if you don't own the player. So I'm not sure how much I can read into it.

              Yes that's true but I believe most will go for Salah & Mané

        Wilson or Higuain?

          Wilson. The other one's a turnip.

            The plan was Higuain but Wilson has emerged as an arguably better pick. Concerned about his proneness to injury though.

        Vardy vs. Higuain vs. Firmino for GW 31.

        Thoughts on best option?

        1. Party time

            Firmino- Vardy - Higuain ( in that order to me)

                feels crazy to not punt on one of their milfs

                Might go for Snoddy for old time sake

              Doing son > hazard with my ft will give me 11 for gw31, is it worth a - 4 to bring in Wilson for jimenez or just stick and play Westwood in a 352?
