Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain candidates for Gameweek 22?

The captaincy debate for Gameweek 22 may not be as simple as Fantasy Premier League managers are hoping.

Heading into the first round of action since the FA Cup third round, we now embark on the second half of the current campaign.

Every season, the January transfer window proves a major landmark for change and shifting templates.

For example, Southampton spent much of 2019/20 as whipping boys but they come into Gameweek 22 much improved at the back – perhaps the biggest issue with this week’s captaincy conundrum.

To help guide you to the right skipper for your team we will analyse the recent statistical form of each candidate and compare them with the defensive performances of their upcoming opponents.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those signed up either as a season-long, monthly or discounted Member will be able to access it in full.

Captain Poll

Despite missing the last two Gameweeks, Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) has returned to the Captain Poll’s summit once again.

Just shy of 39% of you had voted for the Leicester City forward ahead of Southampton’s trip to the King Power Stadium.

The last time the two sides met saw Vardy bag a hat-trick and an assist in a 9-0 win and it appears that a large number of Fantasy managers are hoping for something similar.

It may feel like a while since Vardy truly rocked the Fantasy world but if we forget his last two absences, influenced by paternal duties and a subsequent injury, he is still a reliable option. Between Gameweeks 9 and 19 he started every match and blanked only once.

However, the chances of another 9-0 drubbing for Southampton do look unlikely. Their defence has improved of late, resulting in two clean sheets in their last four, one at Chelsea and the other at home against Spurs.

A long way off in the poll’s second place is Manchester City midfielder Kevin de Bruyne (£10.6m) who faces Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

Despite a spirited EFL Cup semi-final first-leg performance against Leicester on Wednesday night, Dean Smith’s defence has been in recent Premier League displays.

In their last four outings, they have conceded three times on two occasions, while across their last three at home, Villa have let in an average of 2.3 per game.

De Bruyne himself has attacking returns in four of his last five, two of them double-digit returns.

It appears that the Belgian remains the most trustworthy asset in Manchester City ranks considering the rotation and patchy nature of some of his colleagues.

Sergio Aguero (£11.7m), with just one start and one goal since Gameweek 14 is the next most-popular among Pep Guardiola’s charges, backed by just 3.5% in the poll.

Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling (£11.8m), with two double-digit hauls but four blanks in his last seven, has the support of just 2.9%.

Marcus Rashford (£9.2m) looks set for third place in the vote, backed by 9.1% ahead of Manchester United’s meeting with Norwich City.

The Canaries have kept just one clean sheet since Gameweek 10 although have largely fared better on their travels than at home.

Each of their last three at Carrow Road has seen Norwich concede twice, but they have let in just one goal in each of their last three on the road.

Rashford is in good form at Old Trafford though, blanking there just once since Gameweek 4.

John Lundstram (£5.1m) has been considered an outside captain option by many this season but Gameweek 22 sees him get more support than usual.

5.1% of the voters are backing the Sheffield United man ahead of a meeting with West Ham.

The Hammers may have scored four times against a hapless Bournemouth last time out but it’s still early days in David Moyes’ second spell as manager.

Meanwhile, only Leicester (eight) have kept more clean sheets than Sheffield United (seven) this season.

Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) is the most fashionable captain option at Liverpool as they prepare to face Spurs, although the Egyptian is backed only by 3.9%.

Jose Mourinho has struggled to turn around the defensive fortunes in north London, conceding in all but one of his matches since taking charge – which could open the door for Salah and his colleague Sadio Mané (£12.3m).

The latter has accrued just 2.7% of the votes but has outscored Salah over the last three matches by 8.3 points per game to 5.3.

Tammy Abraham (£7.8m), Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m), Anthony Martial (£7.9m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.9m) and Richarlison (£8.0m) are the only other options backed by more than 1%.

      thinking about it, but worried Mourinho will try to park the bus . He must be aware that if they try to play how they have been playing recently they will be battered.

      I'm captaining Salah. Mo will probably try and park the bus but not sure Spuds are up to doing it.

      KDB is a good option but there is still the risk of him playing deeper as he did again against Everton when he blanked.

      Vardy is probably the best option really but I'm punting on Mo I think.

        Have 2 FT so trying to find a TF to make.

    2. antis0cial
      • 7 Years

      Really nothing needs doing, I'd say switch keeper but not much available at that price point. You have double Bournemouth Def so I'd be looking to move one on, you're never going to want to play that double.

  8. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So what do you think about Rashford c agaist Norwich this week?

    Although United has been bad, he's been consistent, delivering 12 goals and 5 assists this season.

    Probably selling next week for Ings, though

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

      One last hurrah? This is the week for a differential

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

      I would if i had him.

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I don't have him and I'm extremely nervous this week. For any team not having having Utd assets, game weeks like this could be a rank killer,

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

        Or Utd will be awful again and it won't matter.

    4. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      He is my Cap this week. . . I also have KDB and Vardy but Rash gets the nod.

    5. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Torn between him and KdB. As a United fan, Im worried that we would be struggling without McTominay in midfield. Fred Matic Pereira not that promising imo

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

      I’m capping Martial

      1. hsakrujd
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thinking about the same...

    7. RamaJama

  9. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Surely it's not worth having both Mane and Salah, when you can only captain one? Son + Robbo over Mane/Salah + Rico sounds easy.

    Can't make up my mind really. Feels like there is no chance there is any value in both, but at the same time, its so scary not having both.

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

      I think I am leaning towards going for Robertson over Mané and making my captaincy decision easier each week with Salah perma cap.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You're probably right but no prizes for guessing which way I went.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Even if both do well, it's nice to cover others' captaincy points.

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

      I think its the consistency of returns which is most attractive about Salah/Mane at least one always hauls so even if you cap the wrong one you still get abit of coverage. Son is tempting tho for sure

    5. Klein
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yours is easy. I have to decide between mane + doherty or kdb + robbo. Not sure where to go.

    6. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      if you own both then a haul from the one you don´t captain is not that hurting if you own vs not owning. And i´m playing this for fun and it much more fun to own Salah and Mané for a double that have 6 days between the games than hoping for cs, and i think it is the same for double defense, you might hit one big, but not that sure you´ll get two big hauls from both defenders.

    7. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not if you have to rip up your team and have no balance but if your TV is good enough then why not? They will both score more than any other mids and defender in the game besides KDB

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

      I'm planning on Captaining Salah for the foreseeable, doesn't mean I'm going to get rid of my other premium assets just because I wont cpt them.

    FT: Alli -> Grealish and bench Ings?

    Would use the spare cash to do Tomori -> TAA next week.

  11. wernerhedgehog

    Pepe for Alli. Is it time?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Brave, but I'd ditch Alli whatever.

    2. Binny
      • 4 Years

      Son

  12. Zladan

    Who do people have coming off the bench in the event of an absent (injured) Maddison ?

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years

      In other words, what flavour of jam is it this week? Rico?

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

      Grealish for me.

    3. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cantwell

    4. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Rico unfortunately

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

        This will be the week Rico delivers and Maddison plays and blanks lol

        1. hsakrujd
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Maddy played and delivered blank in Cup, no way to in a row...

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

      Rico is 3rd on my bench so he's guaranteed a haul.

    6. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ings

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

    If only KDB was permanently played in his more advanced role, would be a shoo in for captaincy almost every week.

    City tend to demolish most teams when he's playing that way so it makes you wonder why Pep plays him in the central role.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      never has a truer word been "spuck". I can't understand Pep's reluctance to do this ..... but maybe none of the other forwards have that dual capability to play both CDM & CAM roles

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I think the main problem is that Pep has so many players that can play the attacking positions that need minutes... so when the likes of Foden and D.Silva get minutes theres simply not enough attacking slots for KDB in an advanced role unless Pep starts benching someone like Sterling more frequently (personally I think he should do this but I can see why he doesnt). While in the more deeper midfield roles theres really only Rodri and Gundogan right now With Fernandinho in midfield.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          yep - I'd certainly agree with your analysis.

    2. Binny
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Evidence of that comment? Zero

      1. Klein
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He is a very good CAM. What evidence though?

        1. farmerfat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Did you watch the Arsenal game?

      2. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Which bit?

        I've been to all the home games this season and watched the rest, I agree with what he said, there's loads of evidence.

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

        The games when he's played there.

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      it´s obvious though, he has no cb he relies on when Laporte is gone and playing sometimes with a back 3 and/or KDB is a very secure way of playing. would be surprised if they payed that vs Villa

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Partially true I think, but he can still play that way with KDB further forward (one of the wings in a front 3 or the more attacking mid of the 3). Gundogan, Bilva and Rodri can all play further back. He didn't play KDB against United though in last game, a team who had already recently punished our poor defence. So think you're off to say it's obvious.

        The above give a bit more credence to my theory about mini rests, though it is just a theory I'll add!

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          the obvious were related to the cb situation and the tactical changes that forces and KDB stationed in a deep role in those systems, the latter part is not obvious but the first one, the premise (having no cb to count on) is. And if he needs three at the back that means Fernandinho and Rodri there. i would think he won´t use that system vs Villa.

          his position vs SHU home was also very deep, but still got 14 pointer, due to his brutally long run which he received the ball from Mahrez, so were a bit more adventurous against SHU than vs Everton at home, where he just stayed deep without those long bursting runs.

          1. St Pauli Walnuts
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Okay I see, yes that bit is obvious. I think it was more forced when Rodri was injured as there were less options then, but this coincided with us really missing KDB further up the pitch too.

            Back 3 doesn't have to have Rodri as well, it's just an option or backup when multiple CBs injured. Ota and Stones (urgh to both) are both fit now and Garcia has looked good, he even played Zinc there in a 3 in the 1st half of FA cup game against Port Vale the other day.

            I don't agree that KDB was in a defensive role against SHU, Rodri covered that with help from Bilva and a bit from KDB. Granted he wasn't in the free role where he is super dangerous (floating number 10 or free roam wing where he was against Arsenal) but he certainly wasn't as deep as against Everton. The SHU game opened up a lot in 2nd half after early goal. KDB seemed to push up a bit and take control with Mahrez.

            As a DM he is good FPL asset, as a CM he is a great FPL asset and possible captain, as an AM he is an amazing FPL asset and a perfect captain. The problem is a the moment City's positions are just so fluid and interchangeable, it's very hard to predict. The only one who seems to have a locked role is Dilva as is always central and always AM. I think he is likely to play this week after a rest. Does that mean KDB gets pushed further back, I dunno!

    4. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Completely agree.

      My theory is that Pep give him mini rests in that role. I was worried he might be rested against Everton as despite playing great, he looked visibly knackered near the end of the previous 3 games as an AM. Instead he was played as DM and influenced the game but didn't have to exert himself with less pressing and no lung busting runs. He can still return from there but pretty much all his blanks have been in this position and definitely not captain material.

      It's the only thing putting me off him as captain this week.

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        it looked that way, looked a bit knackered but still influental from deep

  14. Bobby Digital

    Everyone has the same team, WCers non-WCers randoms pros casuals..

    1. Bobby Digital

      .. everyone

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

        Pretty much.
        For me the way to go is have Taa Vardy Ings Pool Lundy and KDB then just punt on the rest

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

      I disagree with this.

      Most have TAA Lundstram KDB Mane Vardy core.

      But plenty are spread among/torn between other options: Jimmy Ings Rashford DCL Grealish Madders SpursMid Traore Cantwell Soy Chillwell Salah Robbo Martial Sterling.

      Granted it’s a fairly small pool of assets being shared, but I rarely see the exact same. XIs.

      They really don't.

    4. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 2 months ago

      Very similar at least. It’s why captaining is killing people. You do something different to gain which can be a massive positive or negative depending which way it went. I think this is what FPL want. Keeps casuals interested and more seasoned players more focussed on beating them.

    Original plan was to roll FT to get Mane next GW but now tempted to do Moura to Mahrez?

    Pope
    TAA Lundstarm Gomez
    Salah KDB Martial Moura
    Jiminez Vardy Rashford

    Button Kelly Simpson Guendouzi

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

      Not sure about Gomez. I’d say he loses his place before the double.

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        if he stays injury free he will. Klopp sticks with the one beside VVD if he delivers and he does. Matip usually takes a while before he gets up to his best, wil lget a game in fa cup, then some minutes here and there. Then it might change because Pool could have sewn up the title and CL could become a goal, that could potentially give matip minutes in PL. Saying that, the fact he stays behind when Pool have set pieces diminishes his points potential a lot, so i might change this, i might go VVD. Chances are high that TAA gets an assist or two in that double,he needs to assist someone and having VVD is one that could be the goal for that assist. Not sure but of all TAA assists, most goals are from that trio Mané/salah/vdd?

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

          It’s not a risk I’d be willing to take for the sake of 2 potential clean sheets when other options could seriously haul.

          For me it has to be 3 of Mane TAA Salah Robbo.

  16. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Quite a tough choice this, tempted by Mane (C)

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, same here, have both him and Salah and will go Salah if any of the two. But struggling to choose, KDB, Rashford and Vardy also strong c candidates in my team

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

      Vardy v Rashford v KDB for me.

      EO swaying me towards Vardy/KDB.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same.

      I own both Salah and Mane, but the Aurier v Mane duel looks an enticing one.

      It's possible Jose picks a back 3 though, as many teams are doing against Liverpool these days. So it may be a risk.

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

      Rashford for me
      Strong home form, Norwich concede

  17. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    The casuals who are captaining Vardy obviously have the reverse leg 0-9 in mind.

    They are definitely not considering that Soton are no pushovers of late. In fact soton have conceded only 1 goal or fewer in 7 of the last 8 pl games. (conceded only 6 goals in total in that period)

    They are the most inform team after liverpool at the moment and will keep it very tight imo. Ndidi and possible Maddison injury wont help either.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Funny enough was that Vardy was on 0 pts until 5-0 in that game.

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

      When it starts with "The casuals" it suddenly becomes so booring. Who are you capping fpl genius?

      1. Binny
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        This

      2. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ohhh did i hit a nerve? Stay strong bro

        Btw im captaining The best player in the premier league at the moment

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          KDB?

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

          Trust me i am probably the most non triggering person ever. But when you say casuals,you sound like a clown or a child. Choose yourself. I am going Salah for now. Anyways talking to pro is always nice.

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

          Rashfordddd

        4. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Think you just jinxed KDB, staying clear

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure it's just casuals tbh. With his ownership and fixture I feel it's almost necessary to captain him.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Im not following the herd

        I captain the one who think is going to score more points and there is a strong argument for KDB who face the current whipping boy Villa

        1. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Villa is nt that lousy afterall too. Kdb is playing like dm recently.

          To me, vardy is the plain straightforward choice.

          1. HurriKane
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Not that lousy. ?? What are you smoking lad. They are all over the place atm

            - aston villa who has conceded most goals in last 8 gws (17 goals)

            - Aston villa has conceded 2nd most shots in last 4 gws (73 shots)

            1. Letsgo!
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              We will see. Just capt ur kdb. Mfker.

        2. Binny
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Good luck

        3. Klein
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          If kdb was 100%playing i would get him too. Cameo × 2 and you will go back to bush.

    4. Mooster©️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Didnt sou play with 10 players only?
      As did mancity vs Traoré.

    5. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It honestly depends on whether or not you want to take the risk.
      Vardy has been extremely consistent this season, there is definitely merit in giving him the armband this week.
      That being said, it is the boring pick.

    6. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      easy to get blinded by that no matter who you are, but ye, cap choice this week is simple and easy. Leicester missing Ndidi will have an impact in both ends of the pitch.

  18. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Should i dare to D(c)L or (c) good ol' Vardy?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Would go Vardy of these, very high ownership, more consistent, on pens, and feels like having a higher ceiling than DCL. Would punt on someone else if going for a differential

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

      DCL is a good enough differential.

      Vardy haul and DCL blank would hurt you badly.

      I’d say the downside outweighs the upside.

  19. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    On a WC, which is a better pick?

    A) Maddison (3-5-2)
    B) Ings (3-4-3)

    1. Azathoth
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Danny

  20. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys- best 4.2 defender?

    Thanks

    1. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would take a punt on Zaba or Masuaku

  21. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Henderson
    TAA - Lundy - Soy
    Salah - Mane - KDB - Grealish
    Vardy - Jimenez - Maupay

    (4.0 - Cantwell - Dunk - Rico)
    0 Ft & 0.1m

    Pope & Aurier to Henderson & Dunk done.
    Long term investments with good fixtures up till GW30.
    FH31 and Wildcard after that so wont have to worry about them again hopefully.

    G2G?

  22. dandalf
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anything to do here, or am i gtg?

    Henderson,

    TAA, Lundstram, Söyüncü,

    Salah, Traore, De Bruyne, Mané,

    Ings, Vardy (C), Jimenez,

    McGovern, Cantwell, Rico, Kelly,

  23. Liastro ⭐️
    • 12 Years

    Best replacement for Alli up to 9.3m?

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

      A City mid

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

      Riyadh/Dilva.

      I’m in similar boat and swaying toward Dilva now he’s back.

    3. smitch
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      David Silva? Or try and find 0.5 to get Son long term with Kane out.

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Spurs are dire, they lost one of the best players so suggesting Son seems a bit weird?

  24. cuppatea78
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any suggestions on how I can improve this team?

    Guaita
    TAA / Lundstram / Soyuncu
    Maddison / KDB / Mane / Alli / Grealish
    Ings / Vardy

    Subs: Pope / Maupay / Dunk / Kelly
    ITB = £1.3
    1FT

    1. smitch
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Alli out? Possibly saving FT for next week and using the 2 to get Salah in for DGW

  25. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Rank the captaincy pls. Help.

    A. Rashford (Norwich and Ole cant afford to rest him)
    B. KdB (Rotation risk?)
    C. Vardy (SOU on form, but baby celebration and his birthday, PARTY?)
    D. Mane (Away to Mou, but against Aurier)

    1. Mooster©️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Hello halfbrother.
      I would cap Mane and vardy vc

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years

        On Rashy atm.. Really gives me a headache lol

  26. jayzico
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play Rico or Dunk

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

      Whichever one is home to the team who have scored the fewest goals this season.

  27. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison to Dilva as a major diff seems good...

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

      I’m torn between Dilva and Mahrez.

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Take dsilva

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

          Yep! I’m swaying that way. He’s first choice when fit and he’s now back. Mahrez must be due a rest too which concerns me.

    2. Mooster©️

  30. wonkeydonkey
    • 5 Years

    Would it be crazy to take a -4pt hit tonight to complete my moves before price rises!

    Guaita & Aurier - Ryan & Stephens

    Then... Alli & Jimi - DCL & Mane... for a -4 tonight

    Would have £0 in the bank

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years

      Not a fan of leaving 0 ITB (even though I always do that) haha
