Captain Sensible

Who is the best captain for Gameweek 5?

Liverpool and Manchester City options are the key figures in the Gameweek 5 captaincy debate.

It’s a familiar story for Fantasy Premier League managers as the first international break of the season comes to an end.

There are favourable fixtures for both of last year’s top two sides, meaning that we must dig right down into the statistics to work out who the best captain option is.

In this latest Captain Sensible article, we will assess the results of the poll, assess the form of the key candidates and compare them against the defensive performances of their upcoming opponents.

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

Captain Poll

The captain poll as of Thursday morning

After a relatively promising start to the campaign, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) tops the captain poll ahead of Gameweek 5 when Newcastle will visit Anfield.

As of Thursday morning, the Egyptian has the support of 34.5% in the vote, 11% more than any other option.

Salah has been particularly impressive at home so far this season, scoring 12 points against Norwich on opening night before netting a brace for 15 points in a Gameweek 3 meeting with Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have conceded three times in away matches so far.

The current poll runner-up is Raheem Sterling (£12.3m) with the support of 23.5% of our voters.

That makes him the most popular Manchester City man for the captaincy ahead of a hugely appealing trip to Norwich on Saturday evening.

Despite a surprising blank at home to Brighton in Gameweek 4, Sterling remains the second-highest FPL scorer so far this season.

His 37 points have come from five goals, two clean sheets and four bonus and, as things stand, he is behind only Sergio Aguero (£12.1m) in the race for the Premier League golden boot (five goals).

Despite the Argentinian’s current goal-tally (six), having netted in every match so far, just 14.8% are considering him for the captaincy in Gameweek 5.

However, deciding between Aguero and Sterling this weekend could prove to be much of a muchness when you consider Norwich’s defence.

The Canaries have conceded more goals than any other side so far this season (10) and have a number of personnel problems in key areas with a handful of defenders and defensive midfielders out injured.

It is no surprise then, that Kevin de Bruyne (£9.8m) is also in the picture as the most popular of the differential options.

Just 4.3% voted for the Belgian in the poll but that small number may be on to something here.

De Bruyne has firmly re-established himself in the Manchester City team following a torturous 2018/19 campaign and has been in excellent form thus far.

He assisted in each of the first four matches and scored against Brighton to boot averaging nine points per game over that period. Against a ragtag Norwich defence, that trend could easily continue.

Pushing his way back into the differential thinking is Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.1m) who was backed by 3.9% for the Gameweek 5 armband.

Newcastle have not been particularly ruthless in front of goal this season, scoring three goals in four matches, while Liverpool showed signs against Burnley that they had solved some of their defensive problems from earlier in the campaign.

Fantasy managers will fancy Alexander-Arnold for a clean sheet this weekend then, while the right-back has been the most creative of his defensive colleagues, registering three assists so far.

Sadio Mané (£11.5m) is also considered among the left-field options, garnering 3.4% support in the Gameweek 5 captain poll, although he is yet to record any attacking returns at home this season.

Despite underwhelming in his last two outings, Harry Kane (£12.5m) is still in the picture to some extent, with 3% backing him for the armband ahead of Crystal Palace’s short trip to north London.

Sébastien Haller (£7.5m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) are the only other options with more than 1% support.

    This week feels like an inevitable Sterling haul.

    Most would’ve been set on captaining him, then a doubt emerges - game time given his minutes for England, then people don’t captain him.... and he hauls big.

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I've honestly been following the c poll leader each time... even when it is close... think I will now have a deeper look into Sterling's stats

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling c firmly locked in

    3. DOG GOD IT - KEANE 15
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Or it could be an inevitable benching ...

      I'll be behind the sofa when the City team is announced since i am captaining Sterling

  2. George Sillett

    Leicester a juicy 7/2 to win at Man U .

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      The odds might even reflect the scoreline.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        🙂

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        2-7 of course . ☺

      3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Personally would love 8-2

        1. Zladan
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          You must suffer from serious PTSD every time you see that scoreline.

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yes. I don't see it often thankfully

            1. Zladan
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I’d 8-2 see too often if I were you 😀

    2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years

      Easy money

    3. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Incredible odds, both teams to score leicester to win is 7/1. If they win it will be both teams to score IMO

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It's proper value . They should be more like 7/4 , 2/1 to me.

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          For the win i agree but do you see them winning to nil?

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Most probably not .

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I was so sick under Moyes that I started betting against us, had a tenner on Newcastle at Old Trafford at 10/1 when they won 0-1 through Cabaye.

  3. simong1
    • 5 Years

    With the Martial news, what would you do with this team?

    Pope - Button
    AWB - VVD - Digne - Zinchenko - Lundstram
    Sterling (c) - KDB - Salah - Martial - Dendocker
    Pukki - Jota - Greenwood

      2. Lingard’s Shin Guards

  6. The Mighty Whites

    -4 to AWB & Martial to Lundstram & James (to help get Haller / Abraham in for Greenwood in coming weeks) or play AWB and have Montoya as cover??

      Aye

  7. nicecat

    Pope
    VVD . Coleman . Zinch . Lowton
    Salah . Sterling . James . Mount
    Aguero . Abraham
    Button . Greenwood . Cantwell . Kelly

    Still not sure if I should go with (Kun + James) or (Rash + Son). Any suggestions? Thanks!

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years

      No TAA

    2. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      The one without Rash.

      Ota over Zinchenko.

    3. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      KDB & TAA over Kun & VVD.

      Firmino, Vardy, Haller, Laca, Pukki, Barnes all options up top in place of Kun.

  8. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Best 4.0 defender on a WC? Have enough to get Kelly if need be. Thanks

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kelly

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Hanley the most likely to get game time, but you'll want him last on your bench.

  9. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    As a Leicester fan, Pogba and Martial essentially being ruled out is music to my ears 🙂 just add in AWB and we'll steamroll them.

    1. DOG GOD IT - KEANE 15
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      And of course now United will win handsomely ...

      (not a Utd fan btw)

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I think getting rid of Vardy after GW2 will haunt me all season.

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        That's rough.. Hopefully you sold him for Pukki or Abraham at least

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Erm......Kane. It was my bad, I forgot why I selected Vardy in the first place, he was great for me last season, I'll have him back at some point.

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Oof that's grim. Ah well, Vardy isn't going anywhere for a while, you can get him later 🙂

      2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I did the same, rough

  10. DAZZ

    The captaincy this week is really tough, i’ve been switching back and forth from salah to sterling all morning

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      this week could do some damage if one of the popular option blanks !

  11. have you seen cyan

  12. R.C

    Surely Greenwood will start now, innit?

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 up top with Mata perhaps

    Help much appreciated! 2FT, 0.2 itb.

    A) Martial+Kane>Kun+Iwobi

    0.4 ITB for a small rainy day.

    G2g?

    1. nedsmula
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      funnily enough,
      I'm just thinking of ditching Digne for Maitland-Niles. Arsenals fixtures for the next 7 GW's are very favourable.
      I know, it's Arsenal.....and Digne is always likely to get an assist.

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wouldn't do that personally but okay I'm just boring follow the template. Could work out! Just never in my fpl career an Arsenal defender did something good for me.

    2. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Gtg

  16. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    At home vs non top 6 sides last season Salah scored 13 goals.

    Away vs non top 6 sides last season Sterling scored 5 goals.

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Can you also throw in Manes home numbers

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Holy crap! 18 goals! 😯

    2. DOG GOD IT - KEANE 15
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Norwich was not in the Prem last season though ...

      1. Squeakybum99
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        But Huddersfield was

        1. DOG GOD IT - KEANE 15
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Aye, I suppose that's almost comparable but i think the Norwich defence and style of play means more goals conceded

          And Sterling did score 1 goal away to Hudd last season
          (Salah also scored 1 goal home to Newc last season)

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

        but hudd and cardiff were not sure which of the three has the worst def but pretty close

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Also 4 goals in 2 away games this season for Sterling including a Hatty should be mentioned

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        But that doesn't support his view!

      2. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling c locked in.

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      this is very interesting

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        this puts a different layer on the decision between salah and sterling definitely

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mane scored 18 goals at home vs non top 6! That's crazy and no one is even talking about him for captaincy!

          1. ‘Tis the Season
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Salah will stop passing to him now after his strop

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

            what about aguero
            seem to remember him being not very good away from home last season ?

            1. Pompel
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              yeah, really sh*te picks all of them if you look at it more closely. Pukki(c) it is

              1. ZimZalabim
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                hahhahaha
                ya all terrible options Haller(c) vs villa locked in

    5. liner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      What about this year? Sterling allready 4 goals away. And its Norwich, NORWICH!
      But yeah, Salah is a great option too

    6. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      So basically Sterling only has 1 more goal in him all season against non-top 6 sides away given he has 4 already?

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

      Its one of those, people are thinking hard but in reality we will not be surprised when Liverpool thump newcastle 4-0 and Salah hauls. Penalties are a factor aswell

    8. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I think another thing to take into consideration is that Newcastle will have absolutely no interest to play football vs Liverpool and Norwich dont know any other way to play and will be far more open

    9. TimeDrifter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Really want to captain Salah but so afraid of City. Also hate switching every week - odds of getting it right are diminished. Tempted to pick one for the next 4-6 weeks or so regardless of opposition. So far I've got it wrong every time -

      Salah 12 - but Sterling got 20
      Salah 3 - but Sterling got 6
      Sterling 8 - but Salah got 15
      Sterling 3 - but Salah got 6

  17. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who's first on your watchlist for the next couple of fixtures? My big two are Yarmolenko at the very respectable 5.9 and Ceballos. Both have big potential imo.

    1. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ceballos for me is the most intriguing of FPL players. Non-owner.

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Agree...excited owner!

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Iwobi

      1. TimeDrifter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Great value if he gets regular starts, and with Rich and Kean improving, could be a real differential

    3. DOG GOD IT - KEANE 15
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Both are decent shouts but also rotation risks IMO.

      I had Ceballos earlier and he did earn me 0.1 in TV when i ditched him on WC.

      I would continue to monitor to see hoe regular they are, especially for Ceb with Arsenal involved in Europe, and Yarm with so many options available at West Ham

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ceballos for me too.. If he starts and looks good il be getting ceballos and ota in for mount and Rico next week for free.

  18. Digne do well
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Latest WC draft, feel it has better balance now with a power midfield.

    Pope

    Digne , Otamendi, Robertson
    Ceballos, Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount
    Pukki, Haller

    Button, Lundstrom, Greenwood, Rico

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Decent. Any left over cash? Robbo to TAA/Rico upgrade?

  19. gooner_112233445566
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    pick 2....

    pukki
    jimenez
    c wilson
    haller

    1. Klein
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson and pukki for me

    2. Squeakybum99
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson and Haller

  20. nedsmula
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Looking at future fixtures, Burnley and Arsenal have it pretty easy for the next 7-8 GW's. Thinking of:

    Digne -to- Maitland-Niles
    Pukki -to- Barnes

    Thoughts greatly appreciated.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Just Barnes. Don't lose Digne, one of the best players in the game, for Arsenal defence.

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Don’t be fooled by Arsenal defence
      Pick an attacker or don’t bother imo
      If fully fit Barnes looks good

    3. JT11fc

      Just the second one imo

      Digne for AMN is just mental. Everton have good fixtures for the next 8 too.. And it's bloody set piece specialist and home clean sheet Digne!

        thanks for the input. I know Arsenal will screw me a some point.

        What about Firmino to Lacazette?

    1. Squeakybum99
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why lose Wilson now?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Theres no one around Trossards price I want tbh so need to downgrade Wilson. Im not over the moon about losing Wilson but dont expect he will get much vs Everton anyway. Probably be 3-1 to Everton

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years

      Richarlison is a very naughty pick, can see him siding against Bournemouth and making a bandwagon. Only problem is he's not playing on his preferred wing.

  26. Evasivo

    Is TAA safe pick for the upcoming gameweeks with champions league starting ?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not as safe as Robertson

  28. Kuzser
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Shall I take a hit or just play Jota vs Che?

    1) Perez-> Iwobi/Ceballos/McGinn and get Barnes next week
    2) Jota and perez-> Barnes and Iwobi/Ceballos/ McGinn for -4

    Team is:
    Heaton (pope)
    Robbo vvd lundstram digne (Soyncu)
    Salah sterling KDB perez (dendo)
    Pukky jota (greenwood)

  29. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    1) Robertson + jota to tarkowski + Haller (-4)
    2) Robertson + jota to peiters + Haller (-4)
    3) save

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Robertson could outscore a Burnley defender and Haller combined this week, save.

    2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely wouldn't do those moves

    3. Sid07
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Worried about jota

  30. Dion D's Solo Shower
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking of doing Pukki -> Barnes this GW.. Here's my reasoning:
    - Pukki is against City, Burnley (away) and Palace (away). Difficult fixtures against tough defences.
    - I've got Pope on goal, so I'm basically betting against him getting a cleanie next GW
    - Norwich suffered in the last game after Zimmerman went off, because they apparently had difficulty playing out from the back.
    - Barnes would give me 0.1 ITB, form + fixtures is good & he'd be a differential against my rivals who all have Pukki.

    Am I missing something that should keep me from doing it?

    1. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Do you think Barnes will play this weekend?

      1. Dion D's Solo Shower
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, it sounded like he's fine according to Dyche.

    2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Interesting, all good arguments. Is it with FT?

      1. Dion D's Solo Shower
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Oh damn, forgot to mention that! No, it's a for a hit. That's the only downside to this thing.
        I'm basically expecting him to score with that transfer.

        1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah but even if he doesn't, you can definitely see Barnes outscoring Pukki by more than 4 over the next 3.

          It'd be a hit for me as well and tbh you have me a little bit tempted.

    3. nedsmula
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      just done exactly the same thing. Pukki - Barnes
