Captain Sensible

Who is the best captain for FPL Gameweek 8?

Fantasy Premier League managers have been presented with another tricky captaincy debate for Gameweek 8.

Liverpool host a Leicester side looking very committed to breaking into the top four while rotation and injury fears plague our Manchester City assets.

We’ve assessed the key candidates for the armband this weekend using individual and team data.

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

Captain Poll

After ending his Premier League goal drought in Gameweek 7, Raheem Sterling (£12.1m) has returned to the summit of the latest captain poll.

The Manchester City midfielder comes into the weekend backed by 28% of those that have voted so far (as of Thursday lunch-time).

His owners will have been encouraged by two things they saw of Sterling midweek.

Firstly, he was rested for the majority of the win over Dinamo Zagreb, emerging only as a 56th-minute replacement for Bernardo Silva (£7.9m).

Secondly, Sterling was involved in both goals after he arrived on the pitch, reminding his owners what he is capable of.

Playing in a much more central location than we have seen in recent Premier League outings, the England international scored the opening goal and provided the assist for Phil Foden‘s (£5.2m) stoppage-time strike.

Meanwhile, Wolves come to the Etihad Stadium with just one clean sheet in their last six and a goals conceded tally that reads 11 in that time – an average of 1.8 per game.

We thought that Sterling might have to fight off some interest in Kevin de Bruyne (£10.0m) for the Gameweek 8 captaincy but his recent groin problem has drastically affected the poll results.

Before the injury was confirmed, the Belgian ranked third with a 15% share of the vote but in the last few days, he has dropped to eighth and the backing of just 3.2%.

Currently second in the poll is Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) who is still yet to blank this season.

He has scored in all but one Premier League match in 2019/20, and in all three at the Emirates Stadium so far.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth come to north London with no clean sheets on the road yet this season – which is why 20% of those who have voted in the poll fancy more attacking returns from Aubameyang on Sunday afternoon.

Sergio Aguero (£12.1m) has a fairly strong hold on third place in the poll, garnering the support of 12%.

His benching for the trip to Everton is probably enough to put some Fantasy managers off the Argentinian, especially given he registered 88 minutes against Zagreb.

However, if he does start, which he often does at the Etihad Stadium, Aguero is also without a blank this season. In three home matches, he has a total of four goals and two assists.

Teemu Pukki (£7.2m) may be without an attacking return on the road since Gameweek 1 but the Norwich forward has scored five of six Premier League goals at home.

Aston Villa come to Carrow Road this weekend having conceded seven times in their last three away matches in the top flight.

That combination of statistics will be why Pukki is the best of the rest in the top this week, pulling in 7.2% of the vote in the captaincy poll.

In fact, the Finnish striker has more support than Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) for the Gameweek 8 armband.

The Egyptian does arguably have a trickier fixture as Leicester come to Anfield in good form and praised for recent defensive displays.

However, Salah has been in exceptional form at home this season. In his first three Premier League matches at Anfield he has registered four goals and one assist, for an average of 12 points per game.

Should that form continue, the 6.7% of managers who captained him for Gameweek 8 will feel very happy indeed, especially with many looking elsewhere both for the armband and for transfers.

Son Heung-min (£9.7m) now has attacking returns in each of his last three league outings, and was one of the few players to score for Spurs in their absolute humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich midweek.

That has led to 4.7% of our voters backing him for the captaincy in Saturday’s lunch-time kick-off at Brighton.

Harry Kane (£11.0m) also found the net in that 7-2 defeat and has scored or assisted in each of his last four Premier League matches – hence the 3.2% interest.

Tammy Abraham (£7.6m) may have blanked in each of his last two at Stamford Bridge but he travels to Southampton on Sunday afternoon with six goals in each of his last three away matches in all competitions.

Therefore, 2.9% fancy him as an outside bet for the captaincy in Gameweek 8.

Sadio Mané (£11.6m) and Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) are the only other options with more than 1% backing.

    Saka Laca Boom Boom

    Hayden -> Saka for free. Or Save FT and play Soy?

      Save

    2. mookie

      Saka did well so far imo, but so did Ceballos. You know what happened.

  2. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years

    Ceballos ->

    A) Saka

    B) Yarmolenko

    C) McGinn

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years

      C

    2. g40steve

      B or C

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      5th mid? Saka (marginally better bench fodder)
      4th mid? McGinn looks the best bet for consistent starts. Set and forget.

    Pope
    Digne - Ota - Lundy - (kelly) - (Soy)

    Raz - Kdb* - Salah - Mount - (dendo)

    Wilson - Tammy - Pukki

    Do I do Dendo to Saka?
    Do nothing and save?

      Save

  4. Sulk

    In my draft someone has offered me VVD Maddison and CWilson for Lundstrum KDB and King

    I should accept right? Especially as I have 4 Tottenham deffenders and Lloris. VVD could be quite welcome at the moment....

  5. TheDragon

    Salah at 7% in the captain poll is crazy. His lowest score at home this season is 9 points!

    Salah or Sterling...Salah or Sterling....

    Any reasoned thoughts?

    1. Abra Dubravka
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Salah played 90 mins midweek, Sterling didn't.
      Wolves played on Thursday, Leicester didn't.
      Leicester are better than Wolves.
      Man City attack is better than Liverpool's...

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Going Sterling, just think Leicester are a much better team than Wolves, esp with Wolves having just played last night.

    3. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling more rested and playing Wolves that have played yesterday. Seems like it should be Sterling

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Salah

    5. Party time
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Salah, it is good to be different

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

        I've sold Salah this week. Don't fancy him for the money anymore

    6. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      King owners...keeping or selling?

      I am tempted to keep as he looks real value at 6.3 and his returns ain't half bad....could easily have been better but for some close VAR calls

      1. redsallstars
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I don’t have king but definite keep. Ars dodgy defence and nice fixtures after international break plus on spot kicks. I’m looking to get king in myself for Barnes after internationals

    7. FPL_WILDCARD
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      happy to do a kdb to City attacker 1-2 week move but who is the best option?

      A) Mahrez - promise of lots of points but played full 90 midweek...
      B) D.Silva - probably most nailed to play with kdb out
      C) B.Silva

      Thanks

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Only Pep knows give you want it for a 1-2 week punt. It’s purely a guess on rotation

      2. mookie
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        D. Silva is the safer option. I'd wait for the press conference before making any decision.

            Have a look at Haller's fixtures then decide!

              He was shite with easy fixtures before, unless that’s not what you’re implying?

              Arsenal's are better according to the ticker. Haller returns poor recently.

        • Azathoth
          • 9 Years

          Have a FT to burn : Hayden to Stephens or Saka?

          Pep has played Jesus v Everton away and at home the last few seasons or last couple at least. Is this just rotation or playing him to do a job v an opponent and their style.

          With that in mind, Jesus also starts when City play Wolves. He got a brace last season.

          Anything in this or is this overthinking ?

          1. Azathoth
            • 9 Years

            Overthinking no,overpeping yes.....

            The home game to Wolves was deep into the season when rotation was probably more essential and Aguero has a break with no international football but you may have a point.

          Aubameyang is really going to benefit with Tierney playing at LB!

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            He benefits from Kola too

          2. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah - but by the time tierney is fully fit for PL, auba will be back on the wings

        • FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I am serioulsy considering going no City. Will not have to worry about waiting for Pep roulette pressers and can spread the points very nicely around my team.

          I might sound cookoo considering this but with option like Son and Auba could work out. KDB seems to be looking like a sick note and if his injury is serious then it may be much longer after the IB before he returns.

          My plan was to have only KDB anyway so Son is the most suitable replacement.

          1. Party time
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah, doing the same. Pep roulette is too dangerous for me, need a breather

            • Eleven Hag
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              But the city attackers make or break a season though

              1. Party time
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Yes, but Pep will rotate from time to time & it is possible to build a great team without City

                4 years, 5 months ago

                Regardless of Pep's selections, and occasional rests for everyone, De Bruyne is still the top points scorer in the game. Aguero is second, Sterling is fifth and Mahrez not far behind.

                They've scored 9 goals more than Liverpool already, 13 more than Spurs and Chelsea, and 15 more than Arsenal... after just 7 games. It's scary how much better than everyone else they are going forward.

                Personally, I'd rethink ignoring them completely.

              The articles on here are getting way too long. FFS needs an editor prepared to slash articles to what is the necessary information. Subscribers want articles, not dissertations.

                There were 6 games in the PL 18/19 where Auba returned at least two attacking returns.

                Anyone interested in setting up a no-City mini league? I am very interested if there is any at the moment

                          I only have KDB and I'm considering going without in the not too distant.

                              Does that apply to bitches like "me" in the picture? Or other species in which case they are sometimes called females?

                                  Vardy does not play for City... I thought someone might have created the league already just like the No Salah league last season...

                                  Son a bit risky to bring in as part of a bit

                                    Mahrez instead of son would be other option, but again, its risky

                                      Son . Greedy bugger , one Spurs player in form . Perfect for FPL.

                                      Do you understand if Mahrez has international duty coming up? I've read contradictory statements.

                                    Why?
                                    Spurs are risky, Son is one of the big haulers in the game?

                                      Son will need a rest either side of the international break.

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

                                        I do actually - not necessarily at Mount's expense

                                          I think if he starts, Mounts gets benched.

                                          So... wouldnt be happy either way as I want both to be nailed on

                                      Every week there is someone saying that. Yet, he hasnt started a game thus far.

                                      Someone will end up being right of course.

                                        Don't have him, if I get him it will be for KDB for a hit. So would captain him.

                                      Yeah, returns in 2 straight home games.. maybe he finally gets a double digit score

                                      He looked poor last night against Liege. He seems to be trying too hard. But I guess he has a good chance of getting something against Bournemouth anyway.

                                        Yep, that's exactly what he is for me. I lost patience with Digne and Alonso is just a placeholder for TAA or another Liverpool defender either when their fixtures improve or Emerson is back.

                                    Mendy.

                                    He was brilliant on Tuesday night, albeit against an unadventurous Dynamo side. Hopefully he is at the stage where Pep feels comfortable playing him two games in a row now, because Zinchenko has been in woeful form recently.

                                    Plus, Wolves are likely to have tired legs & he might be able to get in behind Doherty.

                                    Saka could very well get more than one attacking return against Bournemouth. Even his goalscoring odds are 30% according to bookies.

                                      Saka is a 4.5m arsenal attacking option v traditionally porous Bournemouth

                                      May bring him in as a one week punt for Cantwell even if Cantwell is fit....

                                      Agree. He will probably start and should do well. He's been looking really good in the last couple games.

                                    You just know the KDB to Mahrez move will smash it when the rest of us will sit on it, keep KDB and he'll be out longer than expected.

                                  A. Auba
                                  B. Salah
                                  C. Sterling
                                  D. Abraham

                                    Sterling no-brainer for me

                                    Sterling if I don’t bring in Aubamayang.
