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.

    4 years, 5 months ago

    1 FT 1.8m itb.
    Pope
    VVD,Otamendi,Lundstrum
    Salah,Sterling, KDB, Mount
    Barnes,Pukki,Abraham

    Button,Cantwell,Söyüncü,Hanley

    I really want to bring in Aubamayang this week.
    Original plan before KDB injury was option 1.
    1. Salah,Barnes > Yarmolenko, Aubamayang-4
    Leaving enough for Pukki > Vardy wk 9.

    If KDB is out longer gomwith an alternative option?
    2. KDB,Barnes > Yarmolenko/Maddison + Aubamayang-4(option of Salah > KDB later but no Vardy)
    3. Strengthen bench . Hanley > Tomori

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

      3 imo and start him instead of Lundstrum.Cantwell as a sub for Kdb is decent.

  2. Andrew
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Time to WC??

    If not I have 1 FT and £0 ITB.....suggestions please.

    Ryan (Button)
    VVD Zinchenko KWP (Lundstram Rico)
    Salah Sterling Tielemans Ceballos (Dendoncker)
    Auba Pukki Abrahams

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      That team will get you through this week.
      Just shift Ceballos

    2. Link
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'd probably save and play Lundstram this week - then have 2FT's to upgrade Ceballos to someone like Yarmo (downgrade elsewhere to fund it)

      1. Andrew
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers guys

    3. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Save FT, your team is fine for this GW

  3. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Is Rico a safe option now? He has been creating so many chances recently and has great fixtures coming up!

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Lloyd Kelly is now available so probably not nailed.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        But if he is a 5th def he could work especially if you have Lundstram who looks nailed.

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

      Safe enough for the price

    3. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Safe for the bench, no more imo.

  4. Water_Pink
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Do keeping kdb
    And got yarn in now
    Now left with
    Greenwood/ soy/ dend
    Who to start

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

    KB to Son and Kun to Auba -4

    Think this is making so much sense.

    For GW8

    Pope
    Dunk TAA Lund
    Mcginn Salah(c) Son Mount
    Firmino Auba Pukki

    Button Cantwell Rico Aurier

    Not keen on playing Dunk this GW but Bournemout defence bound to fail vs Arsenal.

      No City attack for their upcoming fixtures? Not for me

      1. Party time
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Lol

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

          My plan was only to go KDB from City so might get him back once he starts matches again.

      2. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Similar decision for me. Taking aguero out could really hurt (I did aguero to aubameyang last year and aguero got a hat trick against chelsea).

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

          Aguero may not start this GW. That is the problem.

          1. No Professionals
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            And he might, that's the risk. If he does, the odds are he'll score. As long as aubameyang gets 2, anything from son is a bonus.

    2. Link
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      For this week only...

      A. Zinchenko + Saka
      B. Otamendi + Dendonker/Soyuncu

      Surely A has more upside... (albeit riskier)

        A

      If you were inviting 7 guys for dinner and an interesting night out, who would they be?
      Mine are:
      Einstein, Gascoigne, Alli, Churchill, Jesus, Jack Nicholson, Alexander the great.

      No space for Best with Gazza there.
      No space for Mohamed; he doesn't drink.

      1. Link

        Not sure Dele would make my list

          I saw that too.

      2. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I'd rather pick 7 girls

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          On a boys night out?

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Sexist. They are now gender neutral non-binary nights out.

            1. GOTHAM City F.C.

              Yep. With Bilva sanctioned I am starting to wonder what I can say.

            Tino Asprilla for his crazy parties
            Dimitri Shostakovich for his music
            Jean Alesi for F1 stories and Wine supply
            Neville Southall. Someone has to be Tea total to drive us home.
            Claude Monet for his impressions.
            Paul Newman

              • 9 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Well I did miss out a musician. Lennon would be 1st reserve or bench enabler.

                Peter Sellers on the bench

      4. Party time

          Balotelli,El hadji diouf, Barton, Senderos,Vidic,Gattuso & Zidane

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Ask Balotelli to bring fireworks. Barton would only go if there was a bookies close by and someone to insult.

            Interesting - Jesus would have a right go at Churchill for not giving a break to the poor and would probably buzzkill Alexander for his sexual indiscretions and imperialism. Could get nasty.

              Now I like that. Could never understand Feyneman though. Einstein easier on the ear. Eric would be too obscure for me. Tyson Fury and interesting one. Napoleon a good call because I would not be the shortest at the table.

                Always found Feynman to make obscure things seem clear.You would need someone like Fury there just in case things got heated between the rest of em and to help keep the peace. 😉

          (1.1itb 1ft)

          Struggling with whether to make a transfer in part because I'd planned to WC in the IB, but even that is not certain. Advice?
          A. Replace KDB if injured and WC next week.
          B. Hold, rely on bench and just use 2ft's to freshen up with Vardy/Auba instead of using WC.
          C. Hold, but still WC next week.

          I appreciate its not a terrible team - but can't see a better chance to WC than next week, aside from possibly GW13ish.

            As usual pretty similar to mine. So it must be a good side.

                GW2. I still think 2 or 3 is the best time to use it.

              Ok, I'll sort it out.

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

          Which player should be first sub ? Need to put one of the following on my bench. McGinn is where i am at...

          Salah - Sterling - D'ilva - McGinn - Cantwell
          Abrahams - Pukki - Haller

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            I would stick Haller

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

              Tempted but I think he is due a haul. Was going to transfer him out for King/Woods/Barnes but he got an assist last GW and havent done it

              1. Eze Really?
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Good player but not for FPL IMO

          2. kidzac
            • 12 Years

            David silva.

        • Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Looks like Lundstram has a great run of fixtures coming up with Arsenal, United & Tottenham (not so tough fixtures) the only big teams until GW 19!

          Well, Lundy you're never going to be benched now!

        • JELLYFISH
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          On WC and considering sticking with Sterling and KDB and ditching Mane/Salah. I know its risky (and I know KDB is injured), but Liverpools fix aren't great. Also Sterling > Salah/Mane when KDB is back is always doable if either go berserk.

          Daft or a worthy strategy?

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years

            Which of the LFC fixtures are not great?

            1. Warby84
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Exactly

            2. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I see where he is coming from though.

        • Kizza_10
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Who do you think is the best Barnes & KDB replacements ?

          A. Wilson & Son

          B. Aubameyang & Yarmolenko

          C. Vardy & Mahrez

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            I was going to do Salah,Barnes to B.

            Might do KDB,Barnes now.

          Barnes + Digne + KDB out
          For
          Aubameyang + Otamendi + McGinn in (-4)?

          Worth doing?

        • Woy_is_back

          If KDB is out and Kun benched then this will be a disastrous gw 🙁

            Absolutely. I have the same problem as you.

              A boat many sit in.
              Pep's team sheet and correct captaincy choice will win you the money.

            Why would you consider selling TAA?

              I know what you're saying, just eager to get Sterling in this week. Just wanted people's opinions, but will probably save though, cheers.

            No way, you mad getting rid of TAA.

            You have Lund, who many owners are starting because of this great fixture... As first sub for KDB

            Don't touch this team. Maybe Soy as 3rd sub, Donk as 2nd

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

          Really thinking about:

          Salah + Greenwood > Auba + Yarmolenko (-4)

          As it is, I will have to play Rico if KdB is out. Not ideal to say the least.

          1. Woy_is_back
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Arsenal defence sucks though. Rico could get offensive points.

            • 13 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Ahhh - I just talked myself out of this move a few days ago. Have Rico playing too whether KDB is out or not!

            Salah home form put me off - and the United and Spurs games suddenly don't look too bad for Pool. Taking Salah out for a hit just didn't sit right with me

        • Andrew
          • 12 Years

          Tomori nailed now?

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 5 Years

            Yup

          For the first time in many gw's, i have the guy who I've voted as best © this season 😀

          Cue in Raz blank 😛

        • HAMMERTIME107
          • 5 Years

          Who's better to play instead of Aurier this week? or I can take -4 to swap Aurier out?

          A | Kelly vs. West ham
          B | Rico vs. Arsenal

          Adrian
          Tomori | Aurier* | Cresswell
          Mcginn | Salah | Mount | Sterling
          Haller | Aubameyang | Vardy

          Button | Rico | Kelly | Cantwell

              Thanks! Cant see either keeping a clean sheet but was thinking more attacking threat from Rico?

          Its amusing that united away is flagged as a red fixture for liverpool

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

            Or Spurs at home, which should be grey

            Man U could be grey out of respect for the old name, but should be green...

            1. No Professionals
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              When you ignore the colours and actually read the team names, their fixtures are fine

        • Tshelby
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Anyone Tammy (c)? Might be a good differential this week.

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

            Good option
            Should have scored last gw

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

              This. While blanking, Tammy's kept up the performances that got him his hauls. That's a good sign

          2. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Could be very good

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

          So u have Kdb (will play Cantwell or Mings)

          Should I do Mane➡️Sterling(c) for free???

          Or save FT?

          1. camarozz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            I have *

        • Bubi
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          FT

          A. Firmino > Auba and (C)
          B. Save FT and Salah (C)

          Don't have Sterling (only KDB abd Ota)

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            B

        • Coys96
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          If Cantwell is injured which to I get in:

          1. McGinn
          2. Yarmolenko (Have Haller but looking to get rid soon)

          1. Pacer.
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Also consider Guendouzi 4.6) and Jorgino (5)

            Both great options for a straight swap for a few weeks

          2. Ze_Austin
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Yarmo can last longer in your weekly XI

            McGinn can cure a bench headache...

        • Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          GTG here? Play Lundstram (wat) or James (new)?

          Pope
          TAA Alonso Otamendi Lundstram
          Sterling (c) Son Mount
          Auba Abraham Pukki

          Woodman James Dendocker Montoya 1.2 ITB 0FT

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            James. Newcastle are even worse than ManUtd. If you're gonna watch the game then James if not Lundstram i guess 😉

            1. Party time
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Not sure manutd fans would agree with this

            2. Ze_Austin
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I'd play Lund over most of my XI right now, and I have a good XI too

              James could score but doesn't have creativity around him. Newcastle would stifle the game except if they get another red card. Hard to see two goals or more for James. Maybe the one goal, but he's the fall guy for Lund in that squad

              Might be madness to bench Ota at home, but he's seriously the closest I can think of to bench other than James

                • 7 Years

                Cheers for the very useful insights. Best of luck to you this GW!

            Soyuncu or Tomori?

            1. Bavarian
              • 6 Years

              Soy

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Both imo very good value.

              If this week then Tomori.

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

              Purely depends on when you have to play them. Equally good options

          3. InSaneMan-e
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Hi guys. I need some advice please 1 FT. My starting line-up is okayish but my bench is pathetic. Would you do any of the following?

            Adrian (non playing)
            Ota Maguire soyuncu lundstram Kelly
            Sterling Salah Son Mount Dendonker
            Kun King Wickam

            A. Save FT
            B kun-->auba for free
            C. Salah+Wickham-->auba + yarmolenko (strengthens my bench as I'll have an additional playing player)
            D. Salah+wickham--> saka + auba (saka will play this weekend but will probz be benched after break. This would give me funds to upstage adrian to a more expensive goal keeper after the break)
            E. Other. Please suggest

          4. Pacer.
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            With KdB at -45 only and the IB coming up, safe to think we are going to see barely any drop off at all, right (unless news turns out worse)

            Getting rid is potentially just writing off 0.2-0.3 isn't it?

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

              More like writing off 9.7-9.8m of your team

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

                Yeah agree with this.
                Points > team value

              2. Pacer.
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Plus two free transfers if he's as essential as seems to be agreed

                So maybe you'll pull in an average of 5-10 points for a good player, minus what you would have got for fodder. So maybe 2-7 points total, in exchange for 0.2 plus two free transfers.

                Not so black and white as points > value

            2. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              If he’s only out one week I will be keeping.
              Otherwise dropping.

            3. Jebiga
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              He will drop 0.1 in 3 weeks

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

            With no Pogba and united attack looking dog poo if KDB unquestionably is only out for one week maybe even I will hold him and play Schär for that haul

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

              You got Perez right
