Captain Sensible

Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 12?

Liverpool and Manchester City’s Sunday afternoon clash has complicated the Gameweek 12 captaincy debate.

Fantasy Premier League managers are largely steering clear of their table-topping premium options this weekend, with a greater focus on the cheaper assets in their teams.

Leicester, Chelsea and Wolves appear to be three sides at the heart of the discussion according to the polls.

As ever, we’re here to assess each candidate on both their own merits over the last four Gameweeks as well as their opponents’ defensive form.

As this article uses extensive 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

It’s been tough keeping this to ourselves and making no comment at all, especially when some of the results have been leaked. Now we know for certain which player has won the captain poll.

We have saved and screenshotted the results which clearly show just one player has emerged as the winner.

It’s ………Jamie Vardy (£9.4m).

The results of this week’s captain poll

The Leicester City forward has been in exceptional form this season and currently sits top of the Golden Boot race with 10 goals.

Seven of those have come since Gameweek 7, where his form has really raced into life from a Fantasy perspective.

Since that 5-0 win over Newcastle, Vardy has averaged 9.6 points per game.

In Gameweek 12 he goes up against an Arsenal defence that has conceded an average of 1.4 goals per away game this season.

Furthermore, Vardy has scored eight times in as many Premier League starts against the Gunners.

All of that has contributed to 39.7% of voters in our poll selecting him as the best captain option for Gameweek 12.

Abraham is the second-most-popular option in the Gameweek 12 captain poll

Tammy Abraham (£7.9m) has his hands on second place with 23.4% of the vote.

This weekend, Chelsea host Crystal Palace in a match that could finally see their number one centre-forward even out the balance between his home and away form.

In the last four Gameweeks, Abraham has four attacking returns although all of those have come on the road.

Will some Fantasy managers be put off by the fact that just two of his 11 attacking returns in 2019/20 have come at Stamford Bridge? Perhaps. We recently did an analysis of this subject in a Members article.

Jiménez (left) is on course for a bronze medal in this captain poll

A long way off in third-place in the captain poll was Raúl Jiménez (£7.2m) who pulled in the support of 5.9% before hosting Aston Villa.

This Midlands rivalry contest could see plenty of goals, especially considering that Dean Smith’s men have conceded an average of 2.2 goals per away match this season.

Meanwhile, Jiménez is enjoying something of a Fantasy renaissance of late with four attacking returns (two goals, two assists), since Gameweek 8.

Despite going six league matches in a row without a goal, Teemu Pukki (£6.8m) is currently fourth in our captain poll with 3.3% of the vote.

That support is probably almost entirely influenced by the fact that Watford have conceded 23 goals this season – the third-worst.

However, it must be highlighted that Quique Sanchez Flores has been slowly improving the Hornets’ back-line recently.

In the last four matches, they have kept two clean sheets and went close to a third against Spurs.

Mané is the most fashionable asset for the captaincy from Liverpool’s next fixture

Sadio Mané (£12.0m) is the most popular asset from Liverpool and Manchester City’s encounter as far as captaincy is concerned.

2.9% of our voters have backed him for the armband and, on closer inspection, it hardly seems a strange decision to do so.

You have to go back to Gameweek 3 for the last time that Mané failed to register attacking returns in a home game.

Since then he scored 15 points against Newcastle, notched up a 12-point haul when Leicester came to Anfield and earned a penalty against Spurs in Gameweek 10 for five points.

Meanwhile, Manchester City’s defence has raised some eyebrows of late and they could also be without goalkeeper Ederson (£6.1m) on Sunday afternoon after he picked up an injury midweek.

There isn’t much backing for other cast members for this potentially title-deciding clash. 1.7% have voted for Sergio Aguero (£12.0m), 1.3% for Raheem Sterling (£12.1m), 1.1% for Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) and 0.9% for Kevin de Bruyne (£10.2m).

Harry Kane (£10.8m), Anthony Martial (£7.6m), Christian Pulisic (£7.3m), Todd Cantwell (£4.7m), John Lundstram (£4.8m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) and Marcus Rashford (£8.5m) are the other options on more than 1% support.

    What would you do with this lot folks?

    Pope/McGovern TAA/Otamendi/Soy/Tomori/Lund
    Salah/Sterling/KDB/Mount/Cantwell Abraham/Jiminez/Greenwood

    2 FT and 0.1 ITB

    I’m worried about missing the Vardy party, but any move for him requires losing Salah/Sterling

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'd use 1ft to transfer Otamendi out

    2. jamie1972
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Otta out for a non playing 3.9 and use the money with 2 FT's over the Int break to tinker

  2. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    A)Salah/Sterling, Haller to Son, Vardy

    B) Haller, Maupay to Jimenez, Ings

    C) KDB, Haller to Son, Tammy

    Other suggestions?

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Digne Lord
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount
    Haller Maupay

    Button Rico Saka Greenwood

    Thanks all

      A sounds good

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years

        Thanks, which one out?

        1. Jullepuu
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Probably Sterling. Now looking at it again B looks nice too 😆

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years

            Cheers

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

      I would drop Salah but not without having Mane. That doesn't really help you but I dont like any of the options youve tabled.

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Same thinking here, actually like my midfield so maybe i just change my forwards, thanks.

  3. BrutalLogiC
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Mahrez & Connolly to Doucoure & Jim for -4

    Pope / McG
    Robbo / Lund / Soyu / Rico / Pieters
    Madd / KDB / Mane / McGinn / Mahrez
    Aubu / Vardy / Connolly

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years

      Not bad plus some Friday night interest 🙂

      1. BrutalLogiC
        • 8 Years

        ty

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

    Pope
    TAA Soy Lund
    Mane Salah Pulisic Perez
    Vardy Jimenez Abraham

    Button Dunk Rico Mount

    Will still decide between Salah and Vardy for cap pending pressers.

    G2G?

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

      Why not Rico over soy? I’m even doing Rico over Lund. What a benching headache, you getting rid of one of your mids or planning to bench Perez most weeks from now?

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

        Deciding between Perez and Mount.

        I am also not sure about Jimenez. Wolves looking awful attaccking wise.

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

          I like Jiménez. Neves missed last two pens aswell he might get them full time. Jimmy is scoring always and villa’s away defence is poor. Think you’re right to be happy Mount for now unless lampard clears him

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

            Bench* not be happy lol

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

      Good side; maybe Rico before Dunk on the bench?

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Think you said it was crazy not to captain Vardy

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

        Yeah but all depends whether Pep says Ederson is in or out.

  5. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sort mine 2FTs 0.1ITB what to do?

    Pope McGovern
    TAA Lundstram Tomori Willems Rico
    KDB Sterling CHO Traore Dendoncker
    Agureo Abraham Vardy

    Was thinking Agureo & Dendonker > Mane & Greenwood (bench) or maybe a single FT and get Mane next week?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      *I Need to sort mine

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

      I'd go for free transfer mate

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hard to know who though. Would sterling > Mane be madness?

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

          Well I'm considering doing sterling to son!!! Lol

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

            Fortune favours the brave!!!

  6. Starlydon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling to son???
    Sounds crazy but I'm fed up of sterling and I think it could be a move ahead of the curve???
    Opinions???!

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Could be good it’s a tough one (I’m no help)

  7. SB8
    • 5 Years

    When is Lampards presser?

    1. Planet_Marss
      • 4 Years

    Feck it starting Janmaat over Lundy & Rico!
    Freaky Friday madness!
    GL for the GW all 🙂

    Pope
    Taa / Robbo / Janmaat
    Mane / Sterling / Richarlison / Mount / James
    Vardy(C) / Jimenez(vc)
    (Henderson, Lord L, Rico, Connolly)

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Plain silly. Watford don’t score goals, let alone win matches. Rico against a set-piece suspect defensive or an OOP Lundstram are both superior options

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        and GL to you too 😉

    2. ShaunGoater123

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Lord L should be on the pitch

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          he will be after this game, just don't see him getting anything at Spurs, and Norwich are worse that Watford imo so can see the potential in a Janmaat punt tonight 🙂

  10. Hodg55

    Best defender for a 1 week punt?

    1. Planet_Marss

      Rico.

      People are blinded by last week's points. Lundstram scores well in favorable fixtures. CRY, eve, BUR for his big returns so far.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Never doubt lundy. He got cs against arsenal.

        Could easily get one against out of sorts spurs side

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          And nearly kept liverpool for a cleanie if not for.dean henderson blunder

      2. Ask Yourself

    6. clodhopper
      • 10 Years

      Highest scoring defender will be my choice

  14. lmgroves1

    Rashford or Jiminez? Getting rid of Firmino.

    1. Big Al Stankovic

      Jimi.

  15. Karan14

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you consider benching the 5th highest point scorer in all of FF this year ?? would you bench Sterling, Aguero, Salah ???

      1. jamie1972
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Until last week Rico & Soy were pretty much neck and neck, so it's not SUCH a crazy question, tbf

  16. HurriKane
    • 11 Years

    Who to start?

    A) CHO (CPL)

    B) Yarmo (bur)

      yarmo.. expecting a reaction from westham

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He may even get dropped. Worried yarmo got hauled off at half time last gw

  17. Arthur Shelby
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Gotta be Pope (WHU) over Ryan (mun) right?

    I have a little gut feeling Ryan could be in the points - saves, and who knows, maybe a cleanie...

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Play the odds when it comes to defenders.

      Sometimes your feeling might be right but over the season you'll get more points going odds over feelings every time

      1. Arthur Shelby
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Good advice. Cheers man

  18. DNFPL
    • 4 Years

    Play Lundstram or Dunk?

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Starting OOP Top fpl scoring defender is a no brainer

    2. The FPL Units

      Dunk has a ceiling of 2 vs Lundy in the mid 20s.
      On that basis....Lundy.

      F

  20. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Looking at people's teams, it seems almost everyone is WC'ing to roughly the same template. Surely you need a couple of differentials if you're 500k or worse?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Similar teams in here doesnt necessarily mean similar teams in the wider game

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

      Don't see many people wildcarding. Most have been able to get there pretty organically.

    3. Arthur Shelby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I think the main idea is to pick the team that will score the most points

    4. lindeg
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Many have already used their wildcard and have teams in trouble, these are the ones targeted

    5. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Gets down to captain pock

  21. ElliotJHP
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Who to start on draft?

    A) Fraser (new a)
    B) Mousset (spurs a)

  22. GW12 Breakout Players
    Geoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 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, 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?

      Son is due a big gw.. About time he explodes after last weeks misey

      Been very consistent with 2 goals and 5 assists in 8 pl starts.

    5. Trippier Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Could be the week for Diogo Jota - his form suggests it's time, and Villa's defence is obliging enough

        Pukki & Salah

          Its been affecting his performances and fpl points as well

        Trossard, because everyone on here is waiting to get him in after the set of poor fixtures ahead.

      • IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I really fancy Diogo Jota for the upcoming run. Rested due to suspension in the Europa League, a cut-price 6.1 compared to Jiménez at 7.2 with much less ownership at 3.1%. Their stats over the last 2 GW’s make for interesting perusal. Jota has a higher xG, higher xGi, more penalty area touches, more shots in the box, and a better chance creation/crosses. A solid differential.

          Hm. And here I was, only considering Jimenez.

          Got burnt by Jota at the start of the season so kinda reluctant... + he is rarely playing the 90

      Hello, benching order set up correctly - really not sure this week, and wouldn't mind playing Mousset and Cantwell? Thanks for any help.

      Pope
      TAA, Rico, Lundstram, Tomori
      Mane, Maddison, De Bruyne, Sterling
      Vardy, Abraham
      Bench: Mousset, Soy, Cantwell

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Keep Cantwell 3rd on your bench. It's a toss up between Mousset, Soy, Rico and Lundstram imo.

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

        I'm playing Cantwell but mainly due to a lack of other options this GW for me. I do think he has a chance at starting though, had developed a good partnership with Pukki pre injury and Norwich have been lacking goals. I'd stick with the same starting 11 as you though.

    8. FPL_adict
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Who do you reckon is the best 4.6 or below defender to get now?

      1. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Jaanmat

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

          Oh boy. I was thinking of captaining Pukki this week 😐

      2. Brimble82
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Willems

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

          Really like him. What do you guys think about Lowton? Burnley are a defensive side and have decent fixtures too.

          1. Brimble82
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Are they decent?
            Not sure I see many CSs coming over the next 5. 1, maybe two tops.
            The thing I like about Willems is the attacking potential - don't see that so much in Lowton's 1 goal in 121 Burnley appearances, and average of 2 assists per season (and he's had one of them!)

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

        Willems. Newcastle have been pretty solidly defensively and he has good bonus point and attacking potential.

        1. In a Rush
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Willems for me

          1. In a Rush
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            For the reasons that Camzy suggests

      4. CONNERS
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I have Lowton but wouldn't be buying him at this point. Keeping for another couple of GW's then shipping for someone else. Will also be losing Pope for Henderson.

    9. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Is Trossard a shred selection?

      1. BrutalLogiC
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        shred lol, mean shrewd

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

        Fixtures are too bad. May be later

      3. Trippier Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Think he's on a lot of people's radars - fixtures are poor though, but is he fixture proof? Might need 1-2 GW's evidence first....

        1. BrutalLogiC
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          ah yeah, fixtures, one for next month

        2. Brimble82
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          This

    10. Modest Bob
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ceballos has just become a viable captain for me.

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

        Why not Elneny? Arguably the better option for you

      2. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Didn’t ceballos get injured mid-week?

      3. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He’s out injured lol

    11. Mr. Mystic
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Torn between Vardy. Jiminez & Tammy for captain...

      1. Trippier Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Go Vardy, or Jimenez if you're chasing

      2. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I am looking at Vardy purely from a rest point as the other two have played mid week games. On Tammy atm

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

          +1

      3. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I iwn vardy and Abraham. But if i had jimenez id surely captain him. Great week for a captiency punt

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

          Why do people like Jimenez (c) so much? He seems pretty capped to 9 points. I want a captain who can get double digits. Maybe I should give it to Abraham....

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

            You're saying he could never score two goals in a match? Weird.

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

            He’s also playing Villa in a derby game.

            Not as easy a fixture as it first looks.

    12. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      2ft What to do?

      Pope
      Rico Tomori Lund
      KDB Traore Mount Sterling
      Vardy Aubameyang Abraham(C)

      Gazza/TAA/Mendy/Cantwell

    13. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Are people starting pool defenders ahead of the likes of Rico, Soy and Lord?

      1. It's his Job.
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        No all will be, I am am actually going with the latter!

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I’m playing TAA Robertson Lascelles and benching Lundstrum

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

          Surely Lord over Lascelles.

      3. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Dont have that problem

    14. Noé Pamarot
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Been swayed slightly by Andy's article yesterday. Team is:

      Pope, Button
      Digne, Rico, Lund, Janmaat, Diop
      Sterling, Salah, KDB, Yarmo, Saka,
      Vardy, Abraham, Connolly

      Already used my FT on Auba to Vardy...and now considering Sterling/Connolly > Son/Jimenez for -8. Would anyone do this? -8 is nasty when my rank is so poor already, but I mainly want to do well in my ML at this stage!

      Cheers all.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        -8 is a bit much. Team is Ok for GW.

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

        I’d sooner lose Salah than Sterling.
