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.

    When will we know when MCI vs Arsenal gets played?

    1. Christina.

      thats the million $ question.

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

      If its not announced before deadline, then its probably not going to happen

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wish I had a $ every time this question will be asked

      I would be a millionaire

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years

      I hope the doubles won’t happen so soon.

  2. Wally banter
    • 11 Years

    Is sterling worth considering?

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

      Not in his current form

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

      Maybe for one week only, too expensive otherwise for how he is playing. Prefer a punt on Mahrez/Silva instead.

      1. Wally banter
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Will mahrez start though?

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not in his form

  3. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Totally not up to date with the current team news, what would you do with this team ?

    Henderson
    TAA/Lund/Targett
    Salah/Mane/KDB/Mahrez
    Vardy/Ings/DCL

    Button/Rico/Soy/Dendo

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Only Mané is out

      Up to you to sell or keep.

  4. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi. Who should be my 11th player please? I am benching Mane and Ayew.

    A/ Soy
    B/ Ings

    I’m leading towards Soy and play 5-4-1

    Henderson.
    Lundstram. TAA. Rico. Holgate.
    Mahrez. KDB. Salah. Grealish.
    Vardy.

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

    Can't really complain with my Salah TC but he could easily have got 4-5 goals across the 2 games.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. Frustrating. Hit the post last night too. Could’ve been glorious

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Stop complaining

    3. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1.52 xG and and 0.74 xA across the two games - so maybe a little unlucky on the goal front.

      Having said that, I always feel a little lucky when my player scores a penalty.

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

      Went from 178k to 70k in one game so definitely not complaining! Ha

  6. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any argument for keeping Mane?

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

      Lack of options?

      1. Wally banter
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is a reason, but many will be thinking the same... so isn't it a good idea to try something different and take the risk with a mci mid and keep the cash for straight swap after mci vs wham

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      None really. But I am nevertheless.
      I’m saving a transfer and I will decide after this weekend if to ship or keep mane

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He will only miss 2 more games and if you want him back it will cost you 2 transfers

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Might just double up on Pool defence myself

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

          I was looking at that option as their fixtures are great. Robertson would be the obvious choice but his attacking returns have been non existent of late

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

      They have some nice home games coming up which should give him better opportunities to get forward more often.

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would personally ditch with caveat to not distribute the fund vigorously. Ensure two transfers enough to bring him back, in case.

  7. Bobby
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I panic transferred auba in last night. What's chances of him moving@ thus could break me@

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

      Me!

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      What was the panic?

    3. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Highly unlikely that any deal will happen, Aubameyang will stay in North London.

  8. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero or Auba?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero.
      But upcoming blank for both.

      1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Should be able to navigate around that

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

      Think I will get Auba. Jesus will get his minutes. Auba should be nice and rested now.

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

      Wait until Saturday morning, then decide.

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

      who for , Vardy?

  9. Wally banter
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Screwed the minileague with Mane tc :/
    People with Salah captaincy gone ahead 30ish and others who have not opted for TC is just on my tail... grr hate this game 😀

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

      Smash them on FH and WC

      1. Wally banter
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Always my rank gets stagnant and tail off by the final gws... its always been the case for me unfortunately ...
        Also being in a tough mini league stretches the things, most of the collegues are having minimum 3-4 inside top 5k finishes 😀

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have lost 60 points lead mainly because of rival got Pope 20 points in last 2 gws and he had Salah(tc) vs my Mane(tc)

      Cruel game

  10. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    On wildcard.

    Is there better option than Aguero for next 3 gws? Never mind the price difference.

    My other strikers are Auba and Ings

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy now Ndidi is back

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

        How is he going to help Vardy?

        Maybe their defence

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          To get ball back higher up the field?

      2. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think he'll do ok against Chelsea but Wolves and ManC are pretty tough

        1. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Wolves is not tough defensively, they never keep clean sheets.

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

      Maybe Firmino or Wood. But yeah, not much competition for Kun at the moment.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

    3. Magic Zico

    I am very excited about Sane's return.
    I will definitely be getting him in once he starts playing regularly again.
    Good news for Sterling too .

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

      Just don't be tempted to TC him...

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Haha,that still hurts

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

        TC used on Salah 😉

    Repost: Which one do you prefer?
    A. Vardy Firmino > Auba Jimenez
    B. Firmino Soyuncu > Wood/DCL Robertson/VVD
    C. Stick with Vardy Firmino and do Soyuncu > Fernandez/O'Connell

    Are we make mistake with WC36 BB37 plan?

    will be too late and dont know about BB37 with a lot of rotation end of season

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      We? What team game are you playing?

    2. Bojaninho
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      end of season is always a bit of a let down in that sense rotation and teams nothing to play for

    3. adams_6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure about “we” but “you” are. 🙂 The title will be over so likely big teams like Liverpool and Citeh will be saving big players for CL and giving squad players game time. I’ll be playing mine way earlier, whenever I think I need to.

  14. Jebiga
    • 11 Years

        Noob question, but is this the confirmed list or is it dependent on cup results etc?

      Fantastic. Keep it up.

    2. adams_6

      Great stuff. What’s your approach going to be now?

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

        Slow & steady. I didn't use my first wildcard, and have only made 19 transfers all season. Still got the same keepers, only changed one defensive slot, and still own three mids I started with. Chopping and changing doesn't work! Oh and no hits yet either!

        1. dansmusen
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          So you are saying that everybody that's ahead of you also used this tactic ?

  19. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years

    Morning. Thinking about using BB chip in 26 with WC gone.
    If I did Mane,Greenwood > Mooy,Aubamayang -4
    Wk 26. Williams > Gomez

    Would leave me with this :-
    Henderson
    TAA,Gomez,Digne
    Salah, KDB,Son, Grealish
    DCL,Aubamayang,Deeney

    McCarthy,Mooy,Lascelles, Lundstrum
    Would that be good enough to BB ?

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would still wait for dbl, the week is spread over 2 weeks, so could be risky..

      1. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This. Wait for dbl GW's

    2. adams_6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Does this move make sense;

    Holgate, Mane, Vardy
    to
    Robertson, Perez, Aguero

    Going to phase it in over next 2 weeks

    Or shall I just stick?

    Vardy. Ings
    Button. Greenwood. Kelly. Soyuncu

    2FT, 0.7 ITB

      Beware selling Vardy but I see the attraction. And I’d go for lascelles.

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like those moves, which defender are you thinking?

    3. Bavarian
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes with Stephens/Fernandez

  28. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years

    Are people using FH in GW28 or something? I have used my FH(Don't ask why) so should I be planning differently?

    1. adams_6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably 31. Likely to be more teams not playing that week. Transfers should be enough to navigate 28.

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No probably in the bigger blank week, especially if there are hardly any games. Just using transfers to have a decent starting 11 for 28 with KDB, Grealish and possibly Lundstram on the bench.

      Cheers guys, are there any teams who have confirmed games in 31? I'll try to start bringing them in already :p

    1. adams_6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably, especially if you’re going to captain.

    2. Bavarian
      • 6 Years

      Yes, I did it and put the armband on him
