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.

      Any Norwich fans on here? Will pukki be on penalties if vrancic doesn't start? And how likely is it that vrancic will be a starter soon? Cheers

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

        I think remember pukki taking one last year.. But I think he missed it. Though my Memory is very foggy tbh

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

          Correct - he took one against Millwall and missed last season

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        also interested in this, this question is "justified"

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

          Haha 🙂

        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'm not a Norwich fan, but Stiepermann and McLean took the last two when Pukki was on the pitch. They all missed so it's a bit up in the air.

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

          Ya.. The only thing I remember regards penos is that they all missed them 😆 .. I remember vrancic took one. Anyway will go do some research. The fans want pukki to take them if that's anytjjng to go by

    6. Dave Dreamer

      Find it a shame this game doesn't reward risk taking. Feel like if they gave you 2 fee transfers a week it would be a lot more fun / dynamic.

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

        And way too easy

      2. avfc82
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I don't, the majority would bring in Aubameyang this week and captain him, then reverse the move to Kane next week. It would be too easy, IMO.

      3. Goat
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        How about no FT and -2 for every transfer

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

        If there's any change I'd kinda hope for a set 34 transfers at the start of the season(+3 chips and WC). Then whoever wanted to make 15 transfers after the opening day could.. But they d be stuck with just 19 for the rest of the season after that. Risk vs reward. Could see the patient players being rewarded in that scenario and a lot of different tactics coming in to play.

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

          And after your 34 and 4 chips.. No hits allowed. No transfers whatsoever. That would be amazing 🙂

          1. Heavy Data
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I want to play that game

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

            Pretty sure The Times fantasy game I played back in 2001/02 had a limit of 20 transfers a season.

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

              Yup. And I loved it. Nothing will ever beat early fpl though. 1 WC.. No chips.. So you just had to play patient with your 36 transfers. Was pretty hardcorre and fun

      Guys,

      Searching for an app which pushes live goals / scorer and assist, any idea?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        i m using flashscore

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I use Forza

        • Licious Lizard
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Livescore, flashscore, Forzafootball, sofascore or use one of the betting sites apps’ game updates, as their are fairly quick as well.

        • aapoman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          onefootball is nice imo

        • FPL_Gyarados
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I use Sofascore and Fotmob. I used 365scores for a bit too.

      3. Steve Stiffler

        Whos everyone captaining this weekend? Salah or Sterlingo

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

          I'm still torn, myself.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 7 months ago

            On Salah, will most likely remain there but pressers today could tempt me into sterling

          • Andy'81
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Salah, Pool only took a half to destroy Norwich so even 60 minutes against the Saints should see a good chance of a return.

          • avfc82
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Salah.

          • aapoman
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Think I'm going Sterling. But since most are going Salah I might be a coward and give him the armband in the last minute

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

            On Salah but with a persistent niggle of doubt which may result in a switch to Sterling

          • Steve Stiffler
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Salah it is then

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

              Don’t just go with majority go with who you think

        3. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          2 ft Guilbert + Tross > Jorginho + Emerson.

          Not much money to play with, good trades?

          1. The Train Driver
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            This is for next week hoping for no price changes...

            1. Now I'm Panicking
              • 9 Years

              Wait to see what happens this weekend?

          2. Goat
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I like Emerson but wouldn’t lose Trossard just yet

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

          Bottommed:

          Haller yellow flagged.

          Change him for someone else at 7.5m? Or Leave? 1FT.

          Options:

          Pukki
          Wesley
          Jiminez
          Jota
          Barnes?

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

            Depends on your first sub.

          2. Dave Dreamer
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I'd leave him in. (likely to want him back for his good run)

        5. flippetyflop
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Play Dendoncker vs United (home) or Diop vs Brighton (away) this weekend?

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

            Donkers

          2. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Diop

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

              Diop, but both likely to blank

            • avfc82
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Dendoncker.

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

              The Donk. He's on my bench so will definitely score.

          3. Botman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Is there a way in the members section to compare player stats against big 6 sides?

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

            King to Pukki before a price rise, what we thinking?

            1. Ajax Hamsterdam
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              my move this week

            2. Licious Lizard
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I considered it myself, but I decided to save, as I would rather have the flexibility of 2 FTs and a extra week’s worth of data.

            3. @persecuted_by_mods
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Is Pukki definitely rising this week? Wouldn't have king in my team but if I did own him wouldn't remove right before villa

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

                Probably next week.

                If he rises I'll just go Barnes/Wood instead.

              • Jam0sh

                • 11 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Nah. Bournemouth fixtures are good and they still need monitoring imo. If no improvement then could get rid later

              • Warby84
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Done

            4. Agger
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Whether you think Salah starts or not, it's a risk, just captain Sterling, remove the risk, simple.

              1. Eat my goal!
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                It’s not a risk - he starts, hardly fixture congestion

                Played weds... thurs, fri oh game Saturday boo hoo

              2. avfc82
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Captaining Sterling against Spurs, CL finalists, isn't something I've even contemplated. Both matches finished 1-0 last season, can see City edging it but not by a huge margin.

            5. GW2 Breakout Players
              Geoff
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Who do you think will find form and step up to score big this GW, and why?

              Maybe someone who hasn't had a double digit score in a while, who has a series of no attacking returns, or has very low ownership.

              Do you think it will be an already-established name in many of our sides or someone who is a major differential?

              Have you seen something in a someone's play or in their stats to make you think they could be ready for a breakout GW?

              1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Robbo
                Wilson

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

                  Fingers crossed for Wilson

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

                  Robbo is wishful thinking. Price drop when Liverpool concede again.

                  Wilson is a good shout though.

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

                Could be Mane, throwing many Salah owners into a quandry.

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

                  I'm half considering Sterling > Mane and then WC GW3

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

                    I'd probably risk it if I didn't have 3 Liverpool, meaning it would be a hit

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

                      I could use 2FT to get him alongside Mo, but I'd lose Kevin and Trent. Doubt I'd do it but let's see how the weekend goes.

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

                I'm personally hoping Richarlison shows up this GW and repeats his form from the start of the last 2 seasons

                  Think Chelsea will get the win they've been close to

                  Zaha Vs Sheffield should be good for him, and Milo too

                  Can see Wolves scoring Vs Utd who were defensively like a sieve Vs Chelsea. Can also see dendonck being involved tbh

                  Liv to win and concede again

                    He won't even start. Willock is ahead of him at the moment.

                      Only reason Ozil didnt start last game was the whole gang threat situation.

                        Manager said he was "ill". Gastro-enteritis, probably. i.e. he was shi77ing himself 😉

                        And Willock has done enough to earn himself another start. Emery was seen celebrating Willock's slide tackle on Shelvey as if he had just scored a game winning goal in injury time.

                      Thought Willock was great against Newcastle. You'd have thought he's behind a fully fit Ozil and Ceballos though.

                        I have no idea how no one commenting on this doesn't get my point. This thread is about GW2 and the comment I replied to was saying he was gonna get 5 assists against Burnley. All I am saying is Willock is clearly ahead of anyone else for the #10 position THIS weekend.

                          I get your point 🙂 I'm just not sure he starts vs Burnley because Ozil and Ceballos have had an extra week of pre-season. Emery may start one of those two.

                          But, I agree. He definitely deserves the chance to start vs Burnley based on his performance vs Newcastle.

                          1. Nabs Kebabs
                            • 12 Years
                            4 years, 7 months ago

                            Ozil has no balls and Ceballos gave the ball straight back to Newcastle when he got it. I'd be shocked if Willock doesn't start against Burnley.

                  Villa concede a lot of shots and regardless of what people say in thought they were awful. Wilson is going to riot

                      Agreed, when you do a lot of last ditch challenges, concede that many shots and still concede 3 goals the signs are worrying. Yes they were facing spurs away but they didn't look solid

                    Too early in the season for most of these questions, but eyes on Harry Wilson at Bournemouth, though. If he starts this week, what will his impact be on Fraser (set pieces)?

                    How will Pukki go against a weaker team at home. Looked very lively last week.

                    Sterling will score big because I don't own him.

                    I might be crazy and even tho he had no end product last week, he was lightning. Norwich leave big gaps at the back, if he starts I think he could do well

                    Aubameyang will be the stand out player I think. I would like Wilson to punish all the people who went for King instead. Could see a big score from Digne also. Wished I owned but doesn't fit my team.

                    I'd wish people would start answering the question that started the thread, and not just throw out own hopes and dreams for their own team. It does not make a fruitful discussion in any way.

                    For this GW, I support those who say BOU attackers will get something, be it one of the Wilsons, or the Scottish Messi.

                    Also, ARS and LIV should score at least a couple goals each, so Mané and Pépé should be ready for goals or assists.

                    WAT are poor at set pieces, and I would guess Digne and Kean if he starts should benefit from that.

                    SHU vs CPL could be a goalless affair, which means defenders might return 6-9 points easily. Perhaps 4.0-defs will prove good options, in Lundstram and Kelly.

                    Hello Fpl community. Are we not able to look at the team values and transfers made of our opponents on private league anymore this season?

                      There's a hot topic on this, I believe they have stopped this.

                    Just saw your comment on BBC HYS article. God, what am I doing with my Friday scrolling through that! Anyway, yours made my day. Just thought I’d pop on here to say Thanks!

                      May I ask which players were transfered?

                      So glad they got rid of the team stalking thing, I know it's been said many times already but nothing gripes me more than people outright copying the teams of more successful players

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

                        That's one good thing this change brought, but trying to guess the transfers at the ending phase of the season is crucial

                        1. @persecuted_by_mods
                            4 years, 7 months ago

                            Yeah but it should be a guess and only that. It's the best change they've made in ages. Can't imagine the sheer amount of terrible players who were getting good ranks simply copying the good players

                            1. The Overthinker
                              • 7 Years

                              Definitely

                              Isn't that a review of what they've done rather than what they're going to do for the week coming?

                                Yes. Wasn’t sure what you meant until The Overthinker commented

                          Play Hayden Vs Norwich.

                          Kelly Vs Sheffield United.

                          Or.

                          Zinchenko Vs Spurs?

                            Let's see, Premier League champion, or a bargain-bucket benchie? Hmm

                          Almiron might be an intersting pick for this round

                          1. @persecuted_by_mods
                              4 years, 7 months ago

                              Not going near Bruce's Newcastle, team is decent overall but just don't rate bruce as a premier league level manager

                              1. onceuponatyne
                                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                                4 years, 7 months ago

                                Toon fan, Bruce isn't a Premier League quality manager - there's a reason he's on the lowest wages of any manager in the league. He's a nice guy but it's a massive backward step from last season.

                            4 years, 7 months ago

                            A. Dunk (vs West Ham)
                            B. Kelly (vs Sheffield)

                            Both scored handsomely with respect to their price in GW1

                            1. onceuponatyne

                              I'm interested in this too, or C. A nother?

                              I should probably get rid of KWP.

                              A of those 2. The Hammers defence looks the weaker of the 2

                            One thing I'm trying to do less of this year is be pressurised into moves due to price rises.

                            Sometimes can work out well but often you end up rushing into a move you didn't need to make.

                              Yup. Towards the end of the season money doesn't matter anyway. Its only at the start that ppl get obsessed with it. If you consider that most 5.5 to 6.5 players get an average of 4 ppg you are basically playing with 10 outfield players if you take 38 hits in a season. Ppl don't realise that there are always alternatives and that no matter who the player is you'll always get premiums scoring 5 to 7 ppg and mid priced scoring 4 to 5 ppg and budgets scoring 3 to 4 ppg over a season.. So ideally you want to stick with your player for a while. Every good player becomes a bandwagon at some point in the season.. And you don't want to hop off to another one just cause yours isn't one yet.

                              For about 15 years now I've been finishing with respectable ranks, but last year I got off to a poor start, abandoned my philosophy and took panic hits. I spent the whole season taking more panic hits trying to catch up. Like a desperate gambler, I spiralled out of control. Ain't gonna happen again! Stay calm be patient.

                                Haha. I maintained my cool almost every year for 10 years. Same thing happened last season and I screwed up. Back to just playing it cool again now 🙂

                              I started with 3, but at the very minimum you get Donkers, and then start him.
                              I've got J&J too, but there's value in defence - well Boly; maybe others are too expensive now.
