Fernandes haul raises the bar for top 10k’s most popular captain Salah

Bruno Fernandes‘ (£8.8m) blistering Gameweek 33+ display has put some early pressure on Fantasy managers who backed Mohamed Salah (£12.6m).

The Portuguese international came into the round as the second-most captained player inside the worldwide’s top 10,000, rewarding them with a 15-point haul, doubled up to 30, in Manchester United’s 5-2 win over Bournemouth.

In the end, it was 32.1% of managers at that level who handed him the armband for Gameweek 33+, raising expectations for Salah captainers.

As you can see from the image above, it was the Egyptian who earned the largest armband following for Gameweek 33+ ahead of a trip to Aston Villa.

Despite finishing second in the latest Fantasy Football Scout captain poll with 19.2% of the vote, just shy of 38% of the top 10k decided to captain Salah.

Such support for the Liverpool man from this season’s top-performing managers may encourage those who made the same decision, but the double-digit haul from Fernandes has certainly upped the ante.

Not least because of his effective ownership in the top 10k. Despite being pipped to the post by Salah for the most popular captain, fewer owners for the Egyptian at this level means Fernandes holds the largest sway.

His effective ownership in the top 10k for Gameweek 33+ stands at 120%, the highest of any player. Salah sits in second place on 97.8% effective ownership.

Anthony Martial (£8.2m) remains an exciting differential option for the armband, even at this lofty-level. Just 8.8% of managers in the top 10k captained Manchester United’s out-of-position FPL midfielder for the win over Bournemouth, yielding 28 points from that decision.

There was less traction for those who went with Marcus Rashford (£9.1m), however. The FPL forward, who operates on the flanks of the Red Devils’ attacking midfield, played well against Bournemouth, wrestling a penalty from Fernandes, but he managed only six points on Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile, Sadio Mané (£12.5m) remains an extreme differential captain among the top 10k, earning just 4.7% backing for the armband at this level for Gameweek 33+.

As already mentioned, Salah still possesses plenty of potential to shake things up in the top 10k based on his ownership levels.

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) and Fernandes are the overwhelming favourites in midfield, currently sat in 89.7% and 87.4% of top 10k squads respectively.

Accordingly, Salah is still playing third-fiddle to those two options with 58.6% ownership in the upper echelons of the worldwide Fantasy rankings.

The same is true of Martial to a similar extent. He now has double-digit hauls in each of his last two home matches since the Premier League restarted but less than half of the top 10k have him in their team. As the Gameweek 33+ deadline passed, the Frenchman was sat in 42.2% of teams at that level.

It is just Fantasy managers’ luck that the week which saw Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.5m) creep into the template of most-owned players in the top 10k was the one in which he conceded twice.

Just under a third of these managers decided to include the right-back in their Manchester United contingent, based on their recent defensive improvements. However, despite keeping clean sheets in every home match since Gameweek 25, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men let in two goals as they beat Bournemouth 5-2. It will be interesting to see what happens to Wan-Bissaka’s ownership at this level, especially with other Manchester United options such as Martial and Mason Greenwood (£4.4m) chalking up double-figure hauls this weekend.

There has been relatively little transfer activity in the forwards department among the top 10k. Raúl Jiménez (£8.3m), Rashford and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.5m) were the three most-popular forwards for Gameweek 32+ at this level and, indeed for Gameweek 33+. That said, the Everton man’s ownership did drop off by 11.3 percentage points.

Wildcards continue to fall in the top 10k, with just shy of 10% left to use theirs before the end of the season.

7.6% of them overhauled their squads for Gameweek 33+ making the Wildcard the most used chip for the round.

However, there was still a smattering of Triple Captains, Free Hits and Bench Boosts.

2.4% went for the enhanced armband, Salah the choice for half of those managers – hardly a surprise ahead of a home match against Aston Villa.

With Manchester United and Liverpool both facing triple-up worthy fixtures in Gameweek 33+, it is no shock to see some traction for the Free Hit chip.

3.6% of managers in the top 10k went for temporary overhauled squads, very much with a view to covering the Red Devils and Jurgen Klopp’s men in key areas.

As you can see from the graphic above, the majority of these Free Hitters did so to include Salah in their squads.

Despite the Egyptian still only owned by roughly half of top 10k managers, he was the most popular choice on Free Hits at the same level, chosen by 85.4%.

The most common triple-up on Liverpool assets by these managers appears to involve the Egyptian, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) and Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m).

Meanwhile, four Manchester United players made the cut for most-owned players in top 10k Free Hits, specifically Fernandes (84.8%), Rashford (65.2%), Martial (56.7%) and Wan-Bissaka (46.1%).

Also interesting is that these managers have largely used this opportunity to make the most of De Bruyne’s 90 minutes on Thursday evening to invest in Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) instead, who made a 32-minute substitute’s appearance against Liverpool and has attacking returns in every start since Project Restart kicked off last month.

      Wildcard whenever you most need it but bring in players for bb the following week.

  2. Duffy Dunk

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Surely waiting for Tuesday before making any moves but would you sell Jimenez, Rashford & Pulisic to get Kane, Greenwood & Mahrez/Foden?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Ye

    2. Baps hunter

      Depends on the cost

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        -4, -8 (or -12)?

      2. Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You mean hits? I don't mind taking as many as needed.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          Yes, I meant hits 😉 Money is obvious.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nah

  3. rozzo

    Would you be happy playing Saka every week?

    Was gonna get Foden in for him but after that haul might keep him

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Saka's haul feels like an exception, while Foden seems to have more often the chance to haul.
      I'd thank Saka for today & sell him for Foden.

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No, he played 0 minutes in the previous game and I expect there will still be some games like that even after this goal.

      I still plan to move him to Foden this week.

      1. yer old da
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        If you’re asking whether I’d rather have Saka or Foden it’s a no-brainer.

  4. The Ejiptian King
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Gonna wait of course but any thoughts on this?

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Masina
    Salah Bruno Martial Mahrez
    Rashford Jesus DCL

    Martinez Taylor Stevens Saka, 1FT 0.2itb

    Salah > KDB? Got rid of him for his last two 'tough' fixtures which went well.

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't go without any LIV attackers & you already have Mahrez & Jesus from MCI.

  5. AD2110
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    2FT and 0ITB

    DDG, Martin
    TAA, Doherty, Aurier, Lascelles, Lamptey
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, Son, Geundouzi
    DCL, Rash, Jimi

    A) Rashford + Geundouzi —> Greenwood + Mahrez
    B) DCL + Geundouzi + Doherty —> Nketiah + Pulisic + Digne

    Or any other options??

  6. wulfrunian

    Who is the best pick up to 6.2 to replace Mount?(except Sarr)

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Foden?

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years

    3. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Traore maybe. Foden doesn't seem nailed enough for me.

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Traore is in and out of the team as much as Foden

    4. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      thanks all.Maybe Iwobi or Soucek?

  7. Begbie.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic was looking great..wasn't comfortable waching him as a non owner

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic unlucky not to get more.

      Mount decent but get rid

  8. Niho992

    Is it time to play FH chip lads? 55 points behind ML leader

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It doesn't really depends on your ml rival... It's all about your current team

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thinking to FH from this :

        Martinez
        Trent-Baldock-Boly
        Salah-KdB-Bruno-Mount-Pulisic
        Rash-Jimenez

        To :

        Foster
        Mendy-VvD-Digne
        Sterling-KdB-Fernandes-Son-Sarr
        Greenwood-Kane

  9. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    DDG (Martin)
    TAA Doherty Holgate (Lascelles Simpson)
    Mane KDB Mahrez Martial Fernandes
    Jimenez DCL(Nketiah)

    Mane + Nketiah to Kane + Foden

      I really don't get the kane love tbh so no for me

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think it's more to do with the fixture, Hattie incoming

      2. Willmissudimitrypayet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        So many midfielders playing up top so gotta balance the squad out with a LWB and CDM up top in Rashford and Kane.

      3. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This!

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years

      Naah. Jota surely starts against Sheffield.

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Who cares? He's been terrible.

        1. Wılly
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          ?

          1. FPL Theorist
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Jota has 6 points in 4 matches since the restart, so I would get rid regardless of whether he'll start.

            1. Wılly
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Oh sorry, I don't take fpl points as an indicator of performance

      2. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I agree with this

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    4. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I would rather transfer Kane out if I had him

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        No you wouldn't

  13. Willmissudimitrypayet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Pulisic... My man. Is he all dribbling and no end product or will there be goals there soon? Considering my options as those midfield slots are very precious atm.

    Also, what is the plan for City mids moving forward? How to cope with all the rotation? I have Mahrez atm and looking mainly at buying KDB but also Foden.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      About City mids. I've KDB & Sterling. I'm gonna get Foden this week and I'm set for the season!

      1. Willmissudimitrypayet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You are just playing all of them every week or trying to second guess Pep moving them onto the bench or in n out of the team?

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I've just brought in Mahrez this week to go with KDB and plan on getting Foden next week. I want to all stocked up for that Bournеmouth game in gw36

      1. Willmissudimitrypayet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        only caveat to that is they may rotate that game to rest before fa cup fixture

    3. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      His method seems to be more to just run quickly (with the ball) at people ... hasn't really had a long enough run of games to know, but he went off the boil / was found out earlier in the season

    Kane record vs B'mouth, 7 games, 7 wins, 7 goals 1 assist.

    1. Congers

        So you are saying he is suited to them?
        You'd score vs B'mouth atm.

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Hahahaha. Spurs are a no go for me. He might score but I don't see a haul.

    4. Wılly

      Easy captain choice

    5. Pep Roulette

        Greenwood had 0 before yesterday.

  15. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Cresswell worth a punt?

    -4.5m
    - BUR, nor, WAT, AVL in 4 of last 5 games.
    -Two 14 point returns
    -Good set piece taker

    West Ham struggling to defend is a worry of course but with those fixtures, there is potential.

    I have Ritchie, Lascellas & a 3.9 so I'm considering bringing him in for Ritchie to avoid the City mauling

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely could be decent pick. Problem for most is that the cheap defender position is not enough of a priority to spend a FT on.

    2. Aussie Rules
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm looking at bringing him in this week. Best of the cheap defender options I think

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I'm considering Ritchie & Jimenez - > Cresswell & Kane

    3. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      One thing I've learned in my (admittedly not as many as yours) years of playing FPL is that a West Ham defender is NEVER worth a punt 😆

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        🙂

  16. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I am on C but the 2 ML players fighting with for first on A and B ( I am presently 12 points behind leader and 11 behind second). Would you get Greenwood in (for Nketieh) with Maguire to a 5.3 m defender ( Holgate)

    A Martial Rashford Greenwood
    B Martial Bruno Greenwood
    C Martial Bruno Maguire

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You're probably better off keeping Maguire as a differential to your rivals, a United CS and Greenwood benching gets you right back in the game.

    2. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      My favourite of those is B - you can match Maguire's output with a defender from a different team but you can't match Greenwood's output with another forward at that price.

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This - plus Greenwood replaces 4.4 fodder giving you more money elsewhere

  17. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Start Saiss / SHU (A) or Taylor / WHU (A) this week? Also have Doherty.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Its close but whm more likely to score.
      Swiss more likely to scrape an assist.

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Saiss

  18. AD2110
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Worth doing these transfers?

    Rashford + Geundouzi to Greenwood + Mahrez

    Would probs mean benching DCL most weeks

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Benching DCL is a positive, so yes do it

  19. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Not sure what to do with Pulisic, looks really sharp but not direct enough with getting his shot off quicker. Foden is screaming out to me instead.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Go with your gut.

    2. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2 goals and 3 assists in 4 games with good upcoming fixtures and only 7m, and you're talking about "not sure what to do"...?

  20. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Wouldn't it be great if Jesus suddenly found form tomorrow, becoming a convenient way to MCI's attack?
    I want to get more MCI attackers but owning the template midfield of Salah KDB Fernandes Martial Pulisic makes it hard to sacrifice 1 of them to get Mahrez/Foden.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dump Pulisic.

      1. Willmissudimitrypayet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        wow. that was blunt or how do you say it in English. please explain

            Kind of agree. Pondering going rashford to greenwood and pulisic to kdb myself

    2. tucaoneo

      I too am interested in that possibility. I have Salah, KDB, Mahrez, Bruno, Martial atm.

    Nearly back in the top 5k after Bruno’s captaincy haul today. It’s been a long time getting back to what was my annual home for years, but great to nearly be there. Hopefully top 1k by season end.

        "63 but don't feel like celebrating" - now that's how you do a humble brag!

    Eric Garcia. OK he might not start tomorrow, but anyone else feel Pep has found his man to partner laporte..

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years

      Are you talking football wise or FPL wise?

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        If he's guaranteed to get lots of starts, then fpl I guess.

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          If you're looking for City defence, Ederson is the only wise choice. But better to go with triple City mids. Get Foden.

          1. potatoace
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            True, I'm looking for a reliable cheap def to swap out maguire with .

            Got TAA, Dou, Taylor lascelles

            Any advice.?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Reliable and cheap is tough
              Holgate or Robinson maybe

              1. potatoace
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Cheers.
                Holgate on the shortlist.
                Isn't oconell due back though.

                  • 13 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Seems like it but nothing has changed for 2 weeks

          2. HashAttack
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Fully booked elsewhere - a MCI defender would fit in so well

  25. Uncle Gamst
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Rashford & Jimmy > Greenwood and Kane -4?

    Kane has bou, ARS & new next 3...Jimmy shu, EVE & bur

    Pope,
    TAA, Saiss, Aurier
    Salah, KdB, Martial, Fernandes, Foden
    Greenwood, Kane,
    Ryan, Taylor, Nketiah ,Dunk,

    Also allows me to do Ryan > Ederson and play him instead of Pope, for those tricky 35 & 36 GWs against liv, WOL. In GW36 Dunk > Holgate.
    This will leave me with 0.9 in bank.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely not for a hit and probably not even for free.

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks for replying. Why so strongly against?

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Watched him vs United and he was very ordinary and not someone I would entertain paying top dollar for. Rashford and Jimmy certainly have the ability to outscore the pair even without the hit involved.

          1. Uncle Gamst
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers. Maybe just Rashford >Greenwood and reevaluate Kane after he plays Everton on Monday?

            1. waldo666
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Possibly mate but there's plenty to be said for holding Rashford, imo.

    2. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I too am toying with Rashford > Greenwood, but will bring Rashfrod back.

      I'd also love to sell Jimmy but been burnt by not having him so much. Kane could be a great differential if you're chasing tho

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks one to think about Jimmy has shu, EVE & bur...tough defenses to crack?

    3. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Got Kane at the moment but he may have to become Vardy for gw35

  26. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Imagine believing Bruno will cost anything below 10.5 next season..

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      11.0

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      How about Greenwood - 7.5 maybe

  27. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So, Bournemouth GW34+. Kane (c) in for a hit?

    Jimi & Mane --> Kane & [Mahrez]

    Will give me a decent bit of spare change as well but nowhere to really spend it for now.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      These moves could easily backfire

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I definitely don't disagree. Trying to be a little more aggressive with transfers.

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd do it ... and then Kane to Vardy for gw35

  28. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else keeping Rashford?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Greenwood's performances & price justify the "downgrade".

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yup but i have bigger "problems" in my team imo

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      50/50 depending on next 2 days.

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      for now yes, but making moves on greenwood in the interim

    4. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep.

    5. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Him to Greenwood is the obvious one, but will look at jimmy to Greenwood and martial to city mid as well tomorrow.

      I must say that is a tough one to do after he has given me 52 points in 3 games hehe

  29. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My very last move I made on my WC has been painful.

    Pope - > Patricio.

    Another 9 pointer incoming again tomorrow. I definitely read too much into their 5-0 loss vs. City

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Plenty got Foster, Pat was still decent.

    2. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm praying for no Burnley CS tomorrow... you never know

  30. thepuntmaster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Evening all!

    Planning some moves to shift towards 3 MUN attackers, but going to take some movement over the next couple of weeks. What do you make of this plan?

    DDG - Nyland
    TAA - Doherty - Saiss - Egan - Lascelles
    KDB - Salah - Fernandes - Grealish - Cantwell
    DCL - Jimi - Rashford

    GW34+ - (-4)
    Rashford > Greenwood
    Grealish > Pulisic

    GW35+ - (-4)
    DCL > Rashford
    DDG > Pickford/Pope

    Seems silly to get rid of Rashford to bring him back in, but allows me to shift Grealish earlier and keep DCL for the SOU fixture, without taking a -8 any one week.

    Yay or nay?

    1. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Rashford to Greenwood and Grealish to Martial surely makes more sense for GW34+?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That'd be 4 United players

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Taking hit on a playing keeper with good CS potential in all the upcoming fixtures. Don't like it. Sorry.

      1. thepuntmaster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Does seem a bit much, but three United attacking players seems a good way to go?

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No
