Captain Sensible

Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 2?

Fantasy Premier League managers had a relatively easy captaincy decision for Gameweek 2, until the European Super Cup came along.

A full 120-minute outing for some of Liverpool’s key assets on Wednesday night has thrown the cat amongst the pigeons to some extent.

We have factored the midweek action into our thinking as we strive to find the best captain for the upcoming weekend.

As per usual, the Captain Sensible article is here to compare the individual players against each other statistically, as well as examine the defences of the sides they will face in Gameweek 2.

As this uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

Captain Poll

Captain Poll results as of Thursday August 15

For the second week in a row Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) has absolutely stormed the captain poll, this time taking a 55% share at the time of writing.

Even though he scored a 12-point haul in Gameweek 1, it is still somewhat surprising to see him dominate the vote so convincingly, in light of Raheem Sterling’s (£12.1m) hat-trick against West Ham.

However, it looks as if most Fantasy managers have looked at the Gameweek 2 opposition to decide between the two premium midfielders.

Southampton were well beaten by Burnley at Turf Moor last week, the Clarets scoring three quick-fire goals in the second half.

Furthermore, the Saints were second bottom for clean sheets at home last season, keeping just three of them across the course of the campaign.

Meanwhile, it looks as if Fantasy managers are not getting too excited about Sterling’s 20-point haul from Gameweek 1 as Manchester City prepare to host Tottenham this weekend.

Sterling’s record against Spurs at the Etihad Stadium is not too shabby, two goals in his last three facing them at home.

But just 11.3% of voters in the poll believe the England international is the best captain option this week, a 44% gap between him and the leading option Salah.

The second-place spot in this week’s captain poll is occupied by Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m), who opened his Premier League account for the new season in last week’s 1-0 win over Newcastle.

The Gabonese forward is currently backed by 16% of our voters, who are most likely influenced by his record against Burnley.

Aubameyang has faced the Clarets three times since signing for Arsenal and has scored twice in each one of them.

Outside of the top three is a host of will differentials in this week’s poll.

There’s a rather unexpected left-field choice in fourth place as Josh King (£6.5m) finds himself as the best of the rest.

Ahead of Bournemouth’s trip to Aston Villa, 1.8% of the voters are preparing to take a punt, while 1.76% of them are plumping for Aubameyang’s new colleague Nicolas Pépé (£9.5m).

Marcus Rashford (£8.5m), Teemu Pukki (£6.5m), Sadio Mané (£11.5m), Callum Wilson (£8.0m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£8.0m) are the only other options with more than 1% support.

    Man this is going to be a tough game week isn’t it.

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Expectations will be high after gw1, and there will be many disappointed faces

      1. FPL_Gyarados
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Indeed.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No doubt.

    2. Bruce Lee

      Why?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        All the fixtures have turned. So many of my players have tough opposition this week.

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Panic WCs incoming

    4. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      yep lower scoring gw also i feel

    5. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A fair few will come crashing back
      down to earth

    6. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, I'm feeling confident, but then no way could I reprise my 92 from last week. The only way is down!

    7. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I can’t see it being as high scoring as last week but I’m expecting to score about the same as I did last week (scored low in comparison to others)

    8. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hoping I have a good week. Got 73 GW1 which isn’t bad but not great compared to some scores.
      Tbh my team did really well considering four completely blanked, 1 did what I expected, 1 didn’t even play, three got good returns and two under performed.
      Really need Moura, Trossard and the Bournemouth boys + vardy to do something this week

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Love the name

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I have Vardy too. Hopefully he does not dissapoint again.

    9. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah blank and an Auba haul and I'll likely be in the top 10k. Other way round I'll likely plummet to over 100k.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Amen to former

    10. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have no Gunners in my team and I'm low-key shitting bricks...

    11. Will Kane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, think so. I kicked off my return to FPL after a 2 year break with a very respectable 92 - got a horrible feeling I might get about half that score this week.

    12. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mane is going to be the big scorer this weekend I reckon.

      Going to the QPR v Bristol City game tomorrow as its just down the road from me, so will miss a lot of the drama unfolding on here tomorrow afternoon.

      Looking forward to seeing how the knee jerk transfers turn out.

  2. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    GTG?

    Pope
    TAA, Dunk, Guilbert
    Salah (C), Sterling, Martial, Barkley, Perez
    Auba, King

    4m, Lund, Cathcart, Wickham

    1. Millie7
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      yes

    2. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sure, looking good

  3. columbo
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What shall I do with Bernardo please lads? Worried about a likely drop tonight but could start v Spurs tomorrow.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You get a Citizen knowing he'll be subject to Peptation.

      1. columbo
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Indeed, just didn't expect it so soon nor to Bernardo!

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Rule 1 of Pep Roulette: No one is safe.

        No

        One.

        1. KujaliaFC
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Even Raheem?

    2. Millie7
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Can't see Pep dropping Mahrez after last week

      1. columbo
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Possibly in for David Silva is my hope. The Martial rise is frustrating..!

        1. Millie7
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yea its a pain this early on. I'd hold onto him this time and have a juggle with 2 FT next week. Wolves will be tough and that 4 - 0 scoreline flattered utd

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Rule 2 of Pep Roulette:
        Never assume anything with a Citizen player.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      you just have to take the rotation ... i started with Aguero

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Surely mahrez starts that form...

    5. OFord
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wait and see, personally don't think he's an FPL pick but so many people have gone with him

    6. columbo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks a lot lads, really appreciate the input.

    7. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Get Siggy or Richarlison.

    8. Yome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I am keeping him for the Spurs game but then with my two FTs I will look at Pulisic or Martial as replacements

    9. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Keep him for now

  4. Fantasizer
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    what should i do with deoulufeou or whatever his name is??
    was substituted at half time and now visits everton away..suggestions?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      sell ?

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Also seemed to be shoved back into midfield. Maybe monitor this weekend and if you don't like it, kick him out as part of a 2FT.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Everton nearly conceded to a toothless palace, they're not defensively sound imo. Also deul was removed because he had a stomach bug

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

          Everton looked very wobbly at the back to me. They're also down to their last 2 central mids rather extraordinarily.

      • Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Wasn't he ill? If he's over it I would have thought he would play most of the game.

      • OFord
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Doesn't look promising, I'd give him this week and if he doesn't play or plays out wide again and does nothing get rid

      • have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I’m not really recommending any transfers but deulofeu would be a concern if I had him. I would ship him out before Trossard

    4. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      So tempted to take a -8 😀

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You not dunnit yet?

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Nope.

          Think I'll settle for only one.

          1. Millie7
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Bottle job

            1. The Overthinker
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Meh. Commenting without knowing the situation. Noob

              1. Millie7
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Only Jokin pal, been there many a time after gameweek 1!

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If you take one hit every week you are basically playing with 10 men since you are sacrificing 4 ppg. Just a thought 🙂

        1. KujaliaFC
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          The worst is when you take a hit for a player who then promptly blanks.

        2. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          If the player coming in is for a long term, then I don't see it as a loss

        3. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          But you're assuming the players you transfer in don't score considerably more than the players you sold.

          Sometimes it's the right thing to do cos you get rid of player(s) who are contributing nothing to your team and you replace them with productive ones instead.

          Obviously I wouldn't recommend it every week, though.

          But, yeah, sometimes changes that result in points hits can change your season for the better.

        4. Swanremainsthesame
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          1 week to EVERY week is a jump too far to justify your logic.
          There have been at least 1 article in the past showing the cost/benefit of some top players in taking hits I believe

      3. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        What are the transfers happening? All depends on if it really is necessary

      4. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Transfers in & out?

      5. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Transfers out
        Verto
        Cathcart
        Wood ( still a doubt, could hold him)

        Transfers in
        Keane
        Montoya
        Maupay ( definitely think he'll score more than 6)

        1. FISSH
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Your username is definitely valid.

          1. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Thank you sir for you validation. Without that idk what would I have done . Means a lot

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          The first 2 seem secure changes; you don't know if Maupay starts so maybe hang back a week?

          1. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yup. After 3 reds , wood does have really good fixtures.

        3. FourLokoLeipzig
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I (new, improved 2019 me!) wouldn’t do this. It’s too early in the season - wait a week and get some more info to base your choices on

    5. arkom
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rose to Emerson? Yay or nay?

      Others: Laporte / Azpi / Coleman / Duffy (draft fantasy)

      1. Tomerick
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I’m not at all convinced by that Chelsea backline.

        1. arkom
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yep I know.. Emerson is best of the availables..

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Right. They seemed to be better on Wed with Kante back, but I'd want to monitor a bit more.

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        yay

      3. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If and when Zinchenko drops I'm considering getting Emerson to replace him. Looks solid attacking wise but not convinced about the cs propabilities yet.

        1. aapoman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Blah just noticed it is for draft DUHH

      4. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Good move

    6. Gommy
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Any news on Deulofeu? Commentary speculated that it must've been Injury related when he didn't come out for the 2nd half, based on his good form in the first half....

      But since, there has been no evidence of an Injury at all.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He had the sh!ts

        1. Gommy
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Ok, ta.

      2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I think he had a stomach bug. Should be okay this GW.

        1. Gommy
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Ah ok, fair enough

          Only one United fan predicting a United win, no surprise there. Having said that, I reckon it will be 1-1

      4. cigan
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        So hard to decide who to play this week. LIV defence looked well dodgy on Wednesday so I'm on Adams atm

        A) Che Adams (LIV)
        B) Dendoncker (MUN)
        C) Catchcart (eve)

        1. Goat
          • 6 Years

          A

            Thanks, will probably stick

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Liverpool defence = attacking returns.

        3. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years

        Opinions please...

        Looking to transfer out KWP...
        Thoughts on the best 4.5 (or 4) options?

        Prefer wingbacks to CB and fixtures matter.

            Cheers. Didn't want to poison the post with thoughts but he was my number one thought.
            Also like Dunk and Tyrone Mings, but Montoya feels like he's playing almost as a winger.

          Dunk

          Dunk or Montoya

          Thanks all.

          Went Montoya. Dunk a cracking choice too, he's a goal-threat. Just feel Montoya is going to be an assist and goal-threat continually.

        so I scored 84 without Sterling and without using a chip, but a lot of people did well. Hopefully Barkley and Perez will perform better. Saved a FT, so looking forward optimistically, can do "mini WC" for -4 before GW3 if needed. My top watchlist is Mahrez(City attacker for 8.5 is gold) and United assets. No room for Sterling unfortunately. Good luck everyone!!!

          I'm going for Bilva after this weekend for 8m.
          I think Bilva and Mahrez will share minutes, but I just think Pep loves Bilva...

          Mahrez will be a transfer waiting to happen

        did i imagine it, i thought there was an section in the members area to look at a players stats vs the top 6 and non top 6 sides? I cant seem to find it, anyone know?

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 14 Years

          I go to the comparison tool and only keep top 6 selected.. Unless you mean something else?

        2. pingissimus

          its closer than you think when looking at the sterling at home against top 6 and salah away against non top 6 for captaincy options this week. interesting

      8. Brosstan
        • 9 Years

        An Auba captain fail while Sterling and Salah hauls would mean season over in GW2 for me. Fingers crossed

        2. GoonerByron
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          This is the exact situation I'm in. Own Auba + Salah but no Sterling.. Planning on captaining Auba. Sterling made a 20 point difference last week, would have been on 86 instead of 66 😐

          1. Boris Bodega
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            I'm in a similar situation, but with Auba (C) and Sterling but no Salah.

          That’s a lot to bank on already. Not 1 of Salah or Sterling? I’d be shi**ing bricks!

        5. Miniboss
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          A bit dramatic statement there, but I guess you can just give up already and start focusing on next season.

          Auba was pretty consistent, albeit not that explosive, in home games last season - especially towards the end - so I think you'll get some form of attacking returns. If I owned him, he'd be my pick this week.

      9. cigan

        Is considering Trent/Robbo (C) a bit mad?

        1. mazzington☘
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Too risky imo, particularly given that Pool defence is looking relatively leaky at the mo.

        2. Will Kane
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          There's now talk of Adrian being an injury doubt meaning potentially Liverpool having to play a really dodgy keeper who has not played with the 1st team before - so I'd say captaining Liverpool defenders is not the way to go right now.

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

            Yea just saw that. Salah it is

      10. aapoman
        • 10 Years

        Just noticed Button is the most selected GK in the game with 26.3 % ownership. Hilarious

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Hilarious? Why?

          1. aapoman
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I know it's for fodder but isn't it better to pick someone who is lower owned? Button has already been subbed out by almost 40k people so isn't he likely to drop faster in price compared to other fodder gks? If you have Ryan then he is a solid pick but Ryan's ownership is lower than Ederson, DDG or Alisson

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              His price could drop to 2.5 and it would make no difference to me as he simply sits on my bench.

        2. Andy_Social

        If you had to transfer 1 of Bilva and Moura out for Richarlison, which would it be?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years

          Moura, no question.

        2. Swanremainsthesame

        3. The Overthinker

          Richarlison

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Bilva.

      14. Bodini
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        For this with Heaton and Pope which one are you playing this week?

        I’m currently on Heaton because of home advantage but swaying towards Pope because Arsenal away might not be that bad for Burnley?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 7 months ago

            If you have both then you have to go Heaton otherwise you've just wasted 0.5?

            1. Bodini
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Not necessarily, Pope will have really bad fixtures like GW4 against Liverpool where I would definitely rather play Heaton (Palace)

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Fair enough, I don't rotate simply because a lot of 4.5 GK hauls are against teams id bench them against with an unlikely pen save or multiple saves

                  1. Bodini
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    True. Will stick to the original plan for now and see how it goes. Cheers

            2. Miguel Sanchez
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

              Heaton cause that's why you picked them both.
              But wouldn't be surprised if Pope beats his score this GW.

              1. Bodini
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Yes. This is why it’s not so clear cut for me.

            3. Valar(Keith)
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I bought Heaton alongside pope so I could rotate them. I'm assuming you did the same. So do you prefer ars or BOU? Maybe you should've just gone with pope+0.5

              1. Bodini
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                I did. So maybe I should just stick to the plan until further info available.

                If Burnley have become old Burnley again then might be tempted to get that 0.5 back!

            4. Jekori
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Heaton. They probably both concede this gw but heaton pulled out some great saves vs spurs too. He's just as likely to get save points as Pope but more likely to get a CS

              1. Bodini
                • 8 Years

            1. Make United Great Again
              • 11 Years

              Martial. No bias effected my answer.

          • SUPER MOKH
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I'm pretty calm with my team atm, I mean pretty upset with Guilbert and Robinson but I'm giving the latter another chance and the former was meant for sub anyway.

            My only concern is whether to start Ings or Lundstram for GW2.

            I didn't watch Lund but he's been positive here. Thoughts?

            1. BoomXhakaLaca1
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Relax with Robinson, he can get goals.

              1. SUPER MOKH
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                It was Robinson vs McGinn for me then I went for Robinson since a lot of people calling McGinn yc magnet, feel quite gutted seeing McGinn scores and Robinson blanks

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

                  But it's just one game, you might feel better after a while when McGinn is suspended and Robinson has banged in a few goals. Or not... but we'll see. I have Robinson and watching the situation but not overly concerned yet - especially as he's my 5th mid so isn't expected to return every week (and shouldn't be IMO for that price in a promoted side).

                  1. SUPER MOKH
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    Same here, he's my 5th mid and I'm playing 3-5-2. Like I said I'm pretty calm just a little bit of upset, cheers

            2. Jekori
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              It's been 1 GW. Your 5.5 didn't return but played good and was threatening, give it some time. If he returns once in 3 he's still good value

              1. SUPER MOKH
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Let's hope he will!

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

              But to answer your qn, personally I would play Ings. Liverpool haven't looked solid, plus potential hangover from midweek. Lundstram looking good value but ceiling is much higher with Ings.

              1. SUPER MOKH
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                My initial thoughts exactly, it's just that comments here about Lund that gave me second thoughts. I guess I'm playing Ings with Lund as first sub then

          • BoomXhakaLaca1
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            2 options:
            1. Captain Salah and play it safe and rely on the other 10 to allow you catch up with your rivals.

            2. Captain Auba and take the risk and hope Salah doesn't do as good.

            As much as I would love to go 2, I just think 1 is a safer option.

            1. SUPER MOKH
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              1 for me too.. 2 is too scary

                  I honestly feel bad for ppl who did Alison to adrian.. I feel nothing whatsoever for those who swapped their popes and Heatons for him though :).. Hoping loads in my ML did that

              Klopp reveals Adrian got caught on the ankle by a supporter who slipped after invading the pitch. It's swollen and he may miss out tomorrow. Madness.

                This amazes me every season. How come gw1 team can go so wrong that people need to use wildcard on gw2?

                Auba and 2FTs next week gives me the flexibility to do anything. Which option do you prefer long term from GW3?

                A) Auba + King or Trossard ➡️ Kane + McGinn or Jota
                B) Auba + Trossard ➡️ Haller + KDB

                  depends on What Auba does this weekend, would you really get rid if he hauls?
