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.

    Tackle on Adrian. Looks like the invader may have collided with more than 1 player.

      Lonergan in absolute dream land...

    2. goriuanx

      He collided with Firmino and Gomez for sure, among others.

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

        Oh, he was being tackled by a steward. Maybe shouldn't vilify him.

    3. Dannyb
      • 6 Years

      Is he injured?

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

        Got a kick on the ankle. Unclear if he'll play tomorrow.

      It looked a bit deliberate to me.

    Why is Klopp talking about Kante like it's his player?

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

      He's talking about players with natural ability to run at a high tempo all day long. Kante is one of those as are Mane and Salah and so is Pedro. He's making the point that these players will recover from a 120 minute high intensity game without any problems

  3. Wheato182

    Play Diop or Montoya?

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

      M

    2. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Montoya easily. Better CS and attacking potential this week imo.

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

      Montoya.

      West Ham C/S away = Rocking Horse Poo

        You should try it.

  5. rohan

    Have Barkley and Trossard. Play both or make a transfer ?

    1. nisag17
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Play both, save FT and then decide gw 3 because there aren't a lot of options in that price bracket or below. You will make a better decision on replacements (if needed) gw 3. They both could start and deliver as well.

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Play both. I'd imagine both will play some part of the games where there could be a fair few goals. Then make a call.

  6. Blackice

    Gtg?

    Pope

    Worry about 3 pool def, but they always can delivery atack points.

    Thanks

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

      Reckon 3 pool at the back died as a realistic option when allison got knocked. I'm looking at a way out for gw 3.

  7. Tcheco

    so happy I dodged the Adrian bullet

    1. nisag17

      Did you have Allison in Goal gw1?

      1. Tcheco
        • 6 Years

        No I was thinking Ryan to Adrian

      Nope

    2. Miguel Sanchez

          Just did it myself. One week switch, back to Kane for GW3.

  9. Old Fashioned Parisian

    Unsure for GW2

    Pope
    Robo, Van Dijk, KWP, Ake

    Thinking of swapping Kane for Auba??

    What do you guys think? Thanks

    1. KUNingas

      Save FT

        Chin up, it could always be worse

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

        Why make an early transfer, own fault, not like you needed to avoid price rises

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

          Unfair and wrong. One popular option for Alisson owners was Ederson. If they hesitated, he was out of reach.

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

            He brought Adrian in, he could have waited.

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

            Agreed

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

          All week up to Friday morning - is that early to make transfers?

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

        you've quit about 100 times

      6. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        He’s probably fine.

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

      Have Kane / Sterling / Salah

      Thinking to swap Kane for Auba for this GW and swap back for next

      Worth using my 1 FT or save 4 next week?

      Thoughts?

      1. 8-2
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm doing it. It could easily fail though.

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

          Yeah its a tricky one.

          Price rise could mean having to do a -4 to get Kane back in nect week

          decision decisions

          1. Squeakybum99
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yep. It looks good short term but it never works out most of the time. Price changes plus there will invariably a needto
            look at other areas. Effectively letting go of another FT. But then, wouldn't matter if Auba does the job.

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

              Short term is me all over in FF, never learn to play the long game lol.

              Planning on selling Auba straight after Spurs game, so hoping no price issues

      2. Old Fashioned Parisian
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Same

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

          Nice, hopefully works out

          Who you going to captain?

          1. 8-2
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Auba (c). My plan is to do it just before deadline and switch back immediately after.

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

              Was thinking of Sterling as C this week

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

        Thats actually 2ft to come back to the same. Saving is probably the better choice.

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

          Knew someone would be sensible lol

          Just cant see Kane scoring tomorrow and reverse for Auba

      4. MITHRRANDIRR
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Chase the points.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Not really, its targeting the person who looks like the best captain choice this week. If he gets a brace as captain, it's a good move.

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

            I can see this backfiring massively when Kane returns, Salah the most popular C candidate scores a brace and Arsenal goes back to being good old Arsenal.

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

            That's what I was saying. If you think a player can score significantly more than the other, you make that transfer, even if it's for one GW.

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

        Waste of an FT

      6. BigDaveSaves
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        If I had that luxury I would do it - it’s all personal preference though and could easily backfire. Go with your gut!

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

          very true, think I will bite the bullet and do it

      7. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Complete waste. Hold. Your transfers are opportunity cost. Doing this means not fixing some other more important area of your team.

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

          Team as it stands

          Heaton
          TAA VVD Digne Lund Zinc
          Salah Perez Sterling
          Kane King

          Pope Dend Greenwood Hayden

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            It's fine. Hold. Wait to evaluate. Probably King out next week.

    7. G Banger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Morning all... would you make any changes to the below?

      Pope (Button)
      Digne / VVD / Robbo / Zinch / (Montoya)
      Sterling (C) / Salah / Martial / Perez / (Dendocker)
      Jota / Wilson / (Greenwood)

      1. Will Grigg's on Fire
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        No but you can think of an exit plan with 2 FT next week 🙂

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

          I doubt that team needs an exit plan.

      2. Vasily
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Definetely Hold and watch Perez and Wilson for potential GW3 changes

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

      Having a hard time trying to decide who to bench. Montoya (WHU) Lundstram (CRY) or Adams (LIV). Not keen on the 5-4-1 idea but Adams may be the worst option, particularly with the Haller and Felipe injuries, any thoughts?

      1. G Banger
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I's defo play Montoya, then toss up between Lund and Adams.

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

          Quite similar to my situation, but it's Ings instead of Adams vs Lund for me. Atm I'm starting Ings, and Lund as first sub. Pool def hasn't been solid plus recent Adrian's situation.

      2. ENZO SZN™
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Lundstram.

    9. welshyoo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      King -> pukki done. Feels great.

      Go with your gut people. A lot of transfer shaming (is that a term now? :P) going on lately. Trust your instinct.

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

        Nice move. Cant decide if i want to do the exact same move, but i know if i do King will haul 🙁

      2. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Very nice move.

        I just did it too, very happy

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

        I did it too. But for jota. Think jota will do good too but couldn't resist pukki.

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years

          This good hurt you.

            Could

      5. rdpx
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I had a similar feeling earlier in the week when I did Vardy to Rashford.

        Seeing JV in the Scout Picks was a bit unsettling, but I'm happy with the team.

        Just heard that. Reckon there are a fair few who have jumped on the Adrian bandwagon too.

        I'm playing Lundstram over Ings, but not sure it's the right call.

        2. In a Rush
          • 7 Years

          I would play ings against his old club lizard

      2. Coys96

        Adams.

      3. Kiwivillan

        Looks solid, who captain?

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

          Salah, did consider sterling but Southampton, along with Klopps comments made me stick with Salah

          1. G Banger
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Aye, same here, had the band on Sterling until the presser

    14. rdpx
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I waa looking at the top scorers on 140 or close who played their TC chip with Sterling last week.

      At first I was thinking what a dumb mistake, but now I'm thinking actually 20 points is a pretty fine time to play it.

      Even those with Salah TC 12pts could be a lot worse really.

      It's a casual move, but in pretty sure last season I saved mine all season long nearly, for a cunning DGW bonanza and ended up with 3X very little.

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

        Minimisation of risk + maximising potential vs. taking a wacking great punt on GW1.

        A plum DGW could return more than 20.

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

        Fair play. If I end up getting 60 points playing my TC in a DGW I'll be well happy with that.

      3. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Exactly the same for me. DGW is always a fail on my TC.
        Sterling 3x3 last season
        Used it on Salah and reasonably satisfied

        1. rdpx
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, Sterling 3... that might well have been the week I used it too!

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

        18/19 - Sterling 24 points
        17/19 - Kane 3 points
        16/17 - Aguero 27 points
        15/16 - Aguero 75 points

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

          Exactly
          36 from Salah only beaten by mega Aguero

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

          Kane ouch.

        3. rdpx
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          With Klopp mentioning the possibility of playing Lonerhan in goal this weekend will FPL have to add him in as a player?

          If so, when do we think he'll appear.

          If not, is there a precedent for a player getting match time without being purchasable in the game?

          1. rdpx
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Aww ok fail!

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

        Bench boost is a smart early play imo. Few gameweeks in when the teams are settled and not many injuries.

        Seen it used early last year by some people to great effect!

        1. rdpx

      Play Zouma or Dendo over Ings this GW?

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Think i’d just go with Ings.

        1. jackx13
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Have him in atm due to Liverpool defence being a bit leaky atm but Zouma was actually pretty solid against pool in the Super Cup (unlike the United game). And Lei didn't cause much trouble at home against a tired Wovles side, did they?

          1. Gregor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            True, Ings on pens and against his old team though with Southampton keen to get their season up and running.

            1. jackx13
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Looks optimal, yeah. Thanks!

      2. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hard to call. If Southampton manage to score, Ings against new old club...

        Chelsea vs. Leicester looks like goals. 2-1. Zouma looking a little lacking in confidence. Big spotlight.

        So I'd play Ings. Then Zouma. Dendonker in there at No.2 if there are some weird teamsheets.

        1. jackx13
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah that's how I have ti atm. Looks like the optimal lineup. Thanks for the help!

    16. G Banger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry repost... will only try one more time!

      Would you make any changes to the below?

      Pope (Button)
      Digne / VVD / Robbo / Zinch / (Montoya)
      Sterling (C) / Salah / Martial / Perez / (Dendocker)
      Jota / Wilson / (Greenwood)

      Cheers

      1. jackx13
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I would probably hold fire this GW. But a double up on LIVE defence looks too much of a risk atm. Maybe next week you can do

        VVD + Greenwood - to 4.5 def + Pukki or other 6.5 FWD

        1. G Banger
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Pukki party is defo temping next GW

    17. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years

      The Pukki Party has been joined... No regrets.

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

        Seems too sideways for me. Can’t decide

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

          Swapped out Wood. We'll see... Don't have many other headaches going on for a while so...

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

        Surely the correct phrase is "Teem Pukki". Why is no one doing this?

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

          Haha yeah tres not bad

      3. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years

        Welcome to the party

        1. DeathoftheParty

          As long as the drugs are good...

      4. DAZZ
        • 9 Years

        I feel like i went with King for the first 2 games, i’m waiting one more week

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

          That's cool. He looked like a dog's dinner last week though...

      5. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm tempted, but not yet

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

          Wood v Arsenal
          Pukki v Newcastle

          ... Seems plumb enough

    18. Jono_90
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      If you were to WC after GW4, how far forward would you plan your team for?

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

        Four weeks. Is this a trick question?

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

          There's iocane in one of the glasses...

      2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        6-8 weeks?

        1. Jono_90
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I was thinking 8-9 weeks. A guy in my mini league told me last season he tired to plan all the way up to Christmas after playing an early WC.

    19. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      IF Jorginho is on penalties, the surely he’s a steal a 5 mil?

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

        Could be. Think Norwood is too? He has more assist potential i guess.

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        There are actually lots of 5.0m penalty takers.

        Jorginho is allergic to the opponents' box though so you'd be praying just for PKs which historically actually go down when introduced in major leagues. So no, I don't think he's a good shout.

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

          But, Pedro and Pulisic are fast and will win lots

      3. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Look up penalties scored every season and reconsider

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

      Over 9000 have transferred out Adrian. Madness especially if you've used your FT already. The -4 would not be worth it.

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        They wouldve had to use their FT to get Adrian in the first place.

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

          Ya fair, you get what I mean.

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

        Unless they're wildcarders.

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

          Oh yes forgot about the WC.

    21. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone else playing Lundstram?

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

        Seriously considering it

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Possibly not Wilder

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

        I considered it. Going Dendonker. Think CPL will score.

      4. Jonesfromthere
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Can’t see him starting, they’ll play a number 10 at home to the likes of palace

    22. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      a) Wilson, Son, Pulisic
      b) Kane, Siggy, McGinn (+0.5ITB)

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Obviously not for this week people. Just my transfer this week chooses which 3 I go with in GW3

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

          Both look good, I'd probably rather have B because Kane has the extra games on Son.

      2. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Second one with Buendia if you don't have pukki

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

        A for me

    23. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      haha did anyone see the Liverpool fan slide tackle Adrian and injure him

    24. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm tempted by Moura ---> Zaha

      Thoughts? Better off saving FT?

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Save for suuuuuuure

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Where's Zaha's head at?

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

          He looked great when we came on at the weekend. I think he'll be fine, if not motivated

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Someone joked Palace penalties might be affected negatively by VAR. I don't think that's a bad call

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

          Apparently, Sakho had strong words in the dressing room and got him sorted.

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

            Townsend and Zaha both said that never happened on Twitter

      3. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I like it alot! Depends on Rodgers comments though, but if he says something like: 'Zaha will start up top' I'll do it.

        Also frees up 0.5 to use in a -4 or plain upgrade a 6.5 attacker to Kean perhaps if he starts for Everton and looks good.

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

          Yeah the .5 will be useful indeed!

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

        I swapped Moura for Pedro but Zaha is also a good option but afraid that there will be hard times for Palace this season.
