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.

    TC available, which GW to use and to which player? Suggestion please.

      Lets see, depends on fixtures. In 34/37 maybe. Salah vs WHM or BOU is also an option.

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        liverpool will have dgw?

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

          If they qualify for next FA Cup rounds, yes they will have a double. Fixtures may not be great though...

      lazy lol

  3. And we all have legs
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Already made my FT so will not take him out for a hit but is anyone else still going with Guaita?
    Fixtures look good but Palace can't keep a CS, not sure whether to remove for Hendo or Dubravka next week or just ride it out and hope they come good.

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

      Hendo does not play 2 games in 7

      1. And we all have legs
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ah yes, Man Utd loanee of course.
        Top man cheers. Not really feeling Newcastle either, gonna ride it out.

  4. Esalman

    Missus has Mane, Abraham, Richarlison and Cantwell doubtful. How many transfers does she need to make?

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

      2. Rocha back training. Cantwell bench

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cantwell and Richarlison will probably be fit. Maybe Abraham as well. So 1-2 transfers should sort the team.

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

    98 with 48 from pool. Who got the least points from pool? 11 games and 50% of points from one side. When are we going to realise captaincy and chips add to luck, good and bad. Get rid imo

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

      Whole game is luck! Have to follow the rules and be aware that all we can do is put efforts, outcome is random! 😮

    1. Holmes

      D

    Surprised to see my gw rank jump around 100k with only Salah TC being shining light. Dint every TC Salah even those with Mane? I mean out of 6mn managers atleast 20% must be having TC Salah right as its most obvious.

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

      Only 60% EO for Salah if below 1m

  11. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who'll score more over next 3 gw's ??

    A. Auba Traore
    B. Son Jimenez

    1. 1314
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      prefer B but 50/50

      1. Amey

        Cheers

    2. Christina.

      obv depends on DGW's

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

        So if it's not q DGW for Arsenal, you won't recommend Auba ?

  12. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play one this gw.

    a. lund
    b. dunk
    c. rico

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

      B

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

        That's what I was thinking as well. But own Haller also, hence the dilemma.

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

          expect brighton to keep it tight. westhamsfull xi played 2 cup matches before last gw. so fatigue could be an issue against brighton

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

            Should I dump haller for a hit then? For kun/ auba/ firmino?

  13. 1314
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    bench who :

    a) Kelly (SHU)
    b) Lundstram (cry)

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

      A. Ward to start

  14. some witty pun
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is DCL or Haller worth a -4 to Auba

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

      Keep DCL for next 2. Then ship as fixtures turns

  15. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    On a -4 already.
    Would you sell Mane (Purchase Price-12.2m)?

    Hendo.
    TAA, Lundstram, Holgate.
    Grealish, KDB, Mane, Salah.
    Maupay, Ings, Aubameyang.
    Stek, Williams, Stephens, Dendoncker.
    0.1m ITB.

  16. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Son and VVD in for Mane and Ogbonna for a hit is a no brainer right?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  17. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Good morning DZ.

    If you had exact cash to do;

    DCL to Auba,
    Mane to Traore
    & Sidibe to Robertson (-8)

    Would you do it now or wait for Everton to play Watford and Palace?

    Alternative is just Mane to Grealish/Son/Martial for FREE.

    Cheers.

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

      I would do it now, but only the last 2 for -4. DCL to Auba can wait unless you plan to captain Auba.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers.

  18. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lets say Mane is fully fit for gw27. Who do you prefer from then onwards?

    A) Mane: WHU wat BOU eve CPL

    B) Auba: EVE (blank) WHU bha SOT

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

      A

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

      28 is definitely a blank but we don't know when that'll be arranged for, correct? Some on here saying to could be moved back to earlier 25/26 but in my experience it rarely happens like that...

  19. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best Mane replacement here? Thinking Traore, will free up funds to upgrade haller next gw. Thoughts?

    salah mane kdb grealish dendo
    vardy haller ings

    1. Jamb0

        Cheers Jambo

    2. TherryOnWii

      Agreed

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Traore is a good option , could look at fleck as well

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

        Thanks

  20. Jamb0

    Any idea why Richarlison is still red-flagged? He's back in full-training and expected to play the next match...

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

      Need official confirmation that he is available for next game.

  21. TherryOnWii

    Hi all,

    Just realized Aguero played 90 mins last night.
    Chance of starting vs Spurs?

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

      Pretty good I guess since its a tough game, on paper atleast. Maybe gets substituted after 70mins or so.

      Jesus can be used vs WHM

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        When is WHU game? How many days between the games?

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

          7 days between the games

        2. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          A week. Pep continues to confound, why he played that line up with a two goal cushion is bemusing.

  26. Winston.

    Prefer A or B?

    A. Auba + Traore
    B. Aguero + Armstrong

    Strong bench, so no need to play Traore/Armstrong every week....so most importantly Auba or Aguero?
