Captain Poll

Vote in the Gameweek 25 FPL captain poll

Liverpool’s victory over West Ham United brought Double Gameweek 24 to a close and we can now turn our full attention to the coming weekend’s fixtures.

The Gameweek 25 captain poll is up and running and you can cast your vote either via the sidebar or at the foot of this article.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is currently the runaway leader of our poll at the time of writing, having garnered over 50% of the vote even before he scored the opening goal on Wednesday evening.

With the other teams in the top seven playing one another, Liverpool’s home fixture against Southampton has evidently caught the eye of the Fantasy community – although the resurgent Saints will provide tougher opposition than they would have when struggling for form two months ago.

The fact that Sadio Mane (£12.3m) is expected to miss Saturday’s match at Anfield may also be a contributing factor, with there being no ‘split vote’ among the two premium Liverpool midfielders.

Fresh off the back of his seventh clean sheet in eight Gameweeks, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) is third in our poll.

The Reds haven’t dropped a point on home soil this season, scoring 31 goals and conceding on only nine occasions at Anfield – both of those totals are unsurpassed among Premier League clubs.

It’s perhaps a case of form over fixture as Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) sits second in our captain poll at present, despite Manchester City being away at Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs, of course, are far from invincible and have conceded in five of the six home league matches that Jose Mourinho has overseen.

The Lilywhites indeed have kept only two clean sheets since the Special One’s appointment back in November, despite having allowed fewer big chances than any other club in that time.

With regard to Aguero’s form, the Argentinean striker has plundered eight FPL attacking returns and 45 points in his last four appearances.

Even a benching in Gameweek 24 couldn’t stop him scoring, with the in-form premium striker emerging as a second-half substitute to net the winner at Bramall Lane.

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) is worth a shout in this fixture, too: he has racked up 12 attacking returns (nine of them assists) in 11 away matches this season.

No midfielder can match that total on the road in 2019/20.

Jamie Vardy (£9.9m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.7m), both available again after injury and suspension, are also attracting a modicum of support in our captain poll.

No FPL asset has scored more away goals than Aubameyang this season and the Gunners are on the road this weekend, taking on Burnley at Turf Moor.

The Gabonese striker scored against the Clarets in the reverse fixture and bagged a 13-point haul in the corresponding match of Sunday’s game last season.

Arsenal have won their last 11 meetings with Burnley in all competitions.

Vardy has 12 attacking returns in as many appearances at the King Power Stadium, meanwhile, and Leicester are this weekend up against a Chelsea side that have kept just one clean sheet on the road in 2019/20.

    Current team:

    McCarthy
    Lund / TAA / Robbo
    Fleck / KDB / Doucore / Grealish
    Aguero (c) / Vardy / Haller
    BENCH:
    3.9 / Mane* / Williams / Tanganga

    Would you bring Salah in for a -4 and play him over Haller? Or leave as it is?
    If I bring Salah in it will likely mean that Aguero loses the armband

    Bottoms up

    I was planning on fh in 31 but find myself with 3 wolves and 3 pool players from gw27.

    Who else might play in 31?

      it's part and parcel of owning a city player. you buy knowing that your player is a rotation risk.

      We have this same question every time there is ever a Man City game.

        1. wulfrunian

          Not exactly top but its' a progress.

  9. UpAndAway

    Dropped from 55k to 172k in 3 GW. Lost 43 points over this period which includes TC Mane.

      Theres gonna be better days.
      Dont let it get you down

      Go crazy, play your wildcard.

      1. UpAndAway
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        WC would be a knee jerk. TC Salah and it's a completely different story with 79 points.

  10. One Man
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is this a good week to play the WC chip ? I would like to bring in Kun at some stage.

  11. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    crazy points and rank swings this week

    TC Mane + Salah = 19
    Mane + TC Salah = 49

    30 points on what was the toss of a coin, lucky I came out the right side of it

    1. Cruyff's Eleven

      Thank you for sharing 😉

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Should have been more too. Salah should have had 2 or more goals.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He can’t take all his chances... I think it was a positive return for a TC, almost 50 so should be pleased

  12. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What to do?

    Schmeichel
    TAA Lundy Williams Rico
    Salah(C) KDB Martial
    Vardy Deeney DCL

    Button Kelly Dendo Mane*

    1 FT
    0 ITB

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not selling Mane?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking Mane & Kelly to Robbo & Traore! Then upgrade DCL & Deeney to Jimenez & Ings in the coming weeks!

        1. Neo-Viper
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I like it already

        2. FCSB
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Do you prefer Robbo over VVD?

          1. Neo-Viper
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            yes. Robbo is exciting to own if you cash.

            1. FCSB
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              VVD more assured of starts though especially with CL upcoming

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would sell Mane.Son/Traore.

    3. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do you prefer Robbo over VVD??

  13. tc93
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Priority transfer this GW? 6.3 ITB.

    1. Soy --> VVD
    2. Maddison --> Grealish

    Rest of team:
    Foster (Button)
    Soy / TAA / Lund (Hanley, Reid)
    Maddison / KDB / Salah / Traore (Cantwell)
    DCL / Vardy / Ings

    Cheers!

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Soy. Definitely

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’d say A, but what are you planning to do with all that cash? I’d have to check, but I think you have enough to do DCL to Kun or Auba.

  14. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else got Sarr and dunno what to do with him 🙁

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sell him

  15. Taegugk Warrior

      Yes.

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes.

  16. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play Fleck or Lascelles? What a choice eh?

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

      Fleck.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lascelles

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Need a decider.....

        1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fleck 🙂

          1. Danno - Emre Canada
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Ta so here’s another question would you play Fleck ahead of the Lundstram?

  17. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do I swap Jesus back to Aguero this GW or keep? Put Jesus in for him this week when I saw he was benched. That backfired. Should I get Kun straight back? Does Kun start at the weekend?

    No idea what to do.

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch. Would Aubameyang

  18. smix
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play Lundstram or Cantwell ?

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cantwell

    2. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Cantwell's flag is cancelled I may play him.

  19. Neo-Viper
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Out : Mane and Soy
    In : Traore and Robbo
    for a hit

    McCarthy Button
    Taa Robbo* Lundstram Rico Williams
    KDB Salah Traore* Grealish Dendo
    Vardy Jimmy Ings

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m considering the exact same thing.

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        seems only fair to me.
        Cheers mate.

  20. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So for Tripple Pool and Wolves owners
    it might be good not to FH in 31 but target
    Everton Norwich and Burnley players.
    Its too soon but i have Taalor and Cantwell plus 6pool/wolves. Can just use transfers for Richarlison DCL and a GK and i'll be fine. Whoplops

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      the thing is who really wants Everton/Norwich/Burnley players

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think Wood is a very good pick.

  21. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ranked to 11k nice

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Updated yet tho?

  22. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do Wolves still rotate penalties? Or does Jiminez take all of them now?

  23. osceola31909
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Should I wild card this?

    Already on a -4 because I had just enough to get Aguero after Vardy was injured, and now he's back.

    Button - Ryan
    TAA - Evans - Stephens - Lundstram - Kelly
    Salah - Mane - KDB - Grealish - Cantwell
    Aguero - Ings - Maupay

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn’t just yet. You might regret not having it once all the BGW and DGW stuff falls into place.

  24. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Let's hope Lundstram keeps his place in the 11!

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      should I bench Rico for him?

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He'll play this weekend. Wouldn't bet on it long term though

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate! Really trust you when it comes to the Blades!

      2. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years

        Why do you think this weekend?!

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Didn't start last and was rested in the cup. Besic played the full 90

          1. Dr. Agabuse

    c)Sidibe

    1. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Tough one. Probably B.

        cheers

  26. Neo-Viper
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play Lundstram (Palace Away)
    or
    Rico (Villa Home)

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha. Hope his find the net and the form again this Gameweek

  27. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Very excited for tomorrow. Potential of a triple signing on the cards... Will be very happy with Zivkovic and Berge. Fingers crossed :p

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who if any will they replace?

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Where do they play?

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Zivkovic a young striker. Pressure on mousset, mcgoldrick and mcburnie. Burge is a cdm and would expect him to play over Lund or maybe start instead of Norwood. But looks like he may be loaned back to genk for rest of season

  28. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Interesting how Traoré is becoming default choice

    Look at the stats over the last 6 and really there isn’t that compelling a case for him over Redmond. Add in Europa and Southampton fixture run after this week and perhaps the balance tilts the other way

  29. bigbudgie
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    auba over Aguero? Southampton double up punt?

    Mane/greenwood to
    A) jwp/aguero
    B) fleck/aguero
    C) grealish/auba
    D) redmond/auba

      Ha

      Someone else looking at Redmond. Think he’s a really nice pick

  30. osceola31909
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Play Lundstram or Kelly?
