  1. Gameweek 35+ Captaincy

    Bruno Fernandes is the runaway leader in the Captains Poll this week, but with Southampton in good form, both sides coming into the fixture with the same number of days rest since the last game and Marcus Rashford seemingly on the next penalty, could this be a good opportunity to go against the grain and make up some ground?

    Just owning Fernandes isn’t enough these days, with his effective ownership so huge that his every point counts against you without the armband, but there are loads of other good options this week:

    Manchester City travel to a Brighton team that always look to play, the Seagulls have had some good results since the restart but now look relatively safe and have conceded 3 goals at home to Man United and Liverpool in their last 2 home games. Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling are both expected to start this one and could be in for profitable evening.

    Mohammed Salah was one of those to already reap dividends from a game at Brighton and with the Golden Boot on his mind, he will be looking to put Burnley to the sword at Anfield this afternoon. Salah is a rotation risk having started the last 4 games but team mate Sadio Mané should be good to go and his last 4 double figure hauls have all come at Anfield.

    Jamie Vardy is a popular transfer in this week after returning to form with 3 goals in his last two games and now travels to a Bournemouth side with injury problems at the back and who come into the game with two days less rest and after a long but spirited slog against Spurs on Thursday - Vardy will surely fancy his chances of adding to his tally here.

    Anthony Martial has a whopping 12.75 points per game average over his last 4 home games, Mason Greenwood now has 4 goals in his last 3 and for ultra punty, West Ham travel to Norwich today with Michail Antonio and Jarred Bowen in good form and making up the rest of the top 10 in the poll.

    I dunno though, maybe I should just go dullard and pick Fernandes! What do you reckon?

    Who will be your captain this gameweek and why?

      Gut feeling is Martial. But leading my ML now by 40 so not sure whether to start being boring and going Bruno! ahhh

    2. KGFC

      Thinking of going Salah over Bruno... Southampton game wont be a walk in the park

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

        Have you seen their defensive stats?

    3. g40steve

      Sterling differentials

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Could be ... does he score more at home or on the road / flying down to Brighton?

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial. Mainly due to concerns about benching/cameos with Salah, KDB, Mahrez et al.

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

      Mane is my captain. I'm chasing and prepared to take the shot. He'll definitely play, Burnley's underlying statistics are really poor and he's a big differential.

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        think he's one of the top picks this week Camzy

      2. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Snap, I’ve doubled down on mane over Salah which was a 3 week choice. Badly burned me last week but another double digit (c) return and it’ll all be good

      3. Long ago I drew a walrus
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hey Camzy, been looking for you to ask about Mane. What are your thoughts on TAA getting a rest affecting Mane's attacking play?

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

        Good choice I think.

    6. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fernandes right now, but Sterling could be the right one this GW...if you have him

    7. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'm chasing and did consider Jarrod Bowen as captain. But United get a penalty every other game and it's too dangerous to not go with Bruno I recon. Also McCarthy is terrible for Southampton

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

        Same McCarthy who kept Man City out?

        1. Right In The Stanchion
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Same McCarthy who got tackled by Nketiah

    8. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Great post, all this is buzzing around in my head, have Salah, Bruno, vardy and kdb all staring at me to make a decision! Bruno the safest pick by far but the devil within me wants to punt on vardy captain.

    9. Totalfootball
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bw Martial and Sterling for me .
      Bruno is too boring a pick . No gain coz everyone will have him captain but if you looking to maintain , great pick

    10. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Rashford. I think he will take next penalty, underperforming based on stats.

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

        I like this. He’s been unlucky recently, could easily have had a couple of double figure hauls

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah i captained vs Bmouth ans Southampton and felt unlucky not to get more.

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

      Southampton will probably want to have a go at United. They are playing expansive, attacking football and enjoying themselves i.e. not scrapping at the bottom of the table.

      Surely this means that it's the perfect game for our United forwards?

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        think rashford will finally come good! Am going for Martial captain tho

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

      Bruno relies so much on set pieces I think Salah’s the best option this week but there’s that rotation threat. I don’t have them but Martial or sterling also great options this week

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        what you going for Pat? think im set on Martial

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

          I would def go for martial if I had him! I’m 400k so no point going for Bruno...salah or rashford for me

          1. Rinseboy
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            rashford looks the ultimate differential this week. Game could suit him if Southampton have a go

          2. Right In The Stanchion
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            LOL

              Something amusing you?

    13. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Going for Vardy. He should make all of last weeks Kane captainers feel even more silly!

    14. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Kdb left me down with the armband last week but I am getting tempted again. Salah rotation risk is putting me off and Bruno will be captained by most. So it’s Vardy or Kdb for me. What’s our team boss?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        *city team guys

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

          KDB

    15. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mane for me. Third highest scoring player in the game, certain to start, hauls at home, and will be hungry for goals after watching Salah jump ahead last game. Just need Burnley’s luck to run out!..

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

      Martial I think for me. He looks sharp and hungry and has great form esp at home. I don't have Bruno and I'm wary of a Salah rest.

      KdB could be a good pick too.

    17. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I had a dream that Mane scored a curler into the top right corner, so him.

    18. Dele
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Salah captain, Bruno vice

    19. chriscosta
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Leading ML by 21 pts, so i going Mourinho style BORING and picking Bruno !!

    20. umerlfc
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Im going Bruno but tempted by switching to KDB

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

        Just moved it to martial from Bruno.

        Season pettered out. Would ordinarily go for bruno of course.

        Don't have the balls to go for vardy just a couple of days after removing salah.

        Martial I guess is a good and sensible differential captain

    21. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Easy choice for me as have Mané and am chasing so he’s the obvious differential.

    22. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Want to go Martial or Vardy, but just inside top 10k and want to protect rank, so might go against my gut, be a dullard and stick the armband on Bruno

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

      Looks like it comes down to protecting a lead or chasing.
      Lots of options this week.
      City have lost their last 3 away games and hard to know their starting team
      Salah at home generally rewards but there’s some doubt of how many mins.
      I’m chasing top10k so very much learning towards Rashford. I’ve done well previously when given him the armband and he’s overdue for a haul

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

        Good points there. Sums it up pretty well

  2. Felix Navidad

    Chasing in ML.

    A, Jesus + Foden > Vardy + Antonio -4

    C Foden > Antonio
    D Nketiah > Iheanacho

    1. g40steve

      Sterling
      Digne

      Biggest up 1

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      None of those.

      You can use the transfer better.

  7. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    -4 to get in Digne as bench cover? Getting him in for Jack Robinson. Other bench options are, Lascelles and Nketiah.

    Sorry for double post, I have a wedding to get ready for, so in a rush.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not worth -4 for bench i think.

  8. timawflowers

    Big Jack would have been an FPL staple - clean sheets, goals....a few cards though!

    Slightly strange how Salah is in Scout Picks but is benched in the predicted line ups...

      If I was Klopp I would play Salah. no need for him to be rested when going for GB

      Liverpool are 2 home games away from breaking a home record in the premier league, Liverpool W17 from 17
      (current record is 18W 1L)
      also aim to beat city's 100 pts premier league tally.
      salah still in with a good shout for golden boot,
      there are so many positives for salah to play. maybe not a full 90 but still can play a enough to get points.... well that my option.
      also klopp will want to hold to to that undefeated home record bit longer, not sure how close to beating Chelsea's record
