Captain Sensible

Who are the best Captain options for FPL Blank Gameweek 1?

Jan Sienkiewicz was the king of the Fantasy Premier League captaincy in 2019/20, scoring a whopping 657 points from the armband, the second-highest in the whole world. We asked him to help out with the captaincy debate ahead of the new campaign’s Gameweek 1 deadline.


Quite an unprecedented 2020/2021 pre-season is drawing to a close, as we are eagerly waiting for the new FPL campaign to start. Hundreds of drafts, multiple formations, Wildcard strategies and planning early transfers; we have all been there and, in fact, we are all living in this world right now.

There is one common denominator in our efforts; trying to find the best captain. Getting the right skipper is usually a crucial component to having a successful season and Fantasy managers are looking to start the campaign strongly with the right choice. Let’s evaluate the options available for us in Gameweek 1.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

Captain Poll

Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£12.0m)  tops the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll with 53.3% of votes, as he faces a newly-promoted Fulham side in Gameweek 1.

The Arsenal striker, who has been reclassified as a midfielder for this season’s edition of FPL, is currently owned by 44.1% of Fantasy managers – which is more than the combined ownership of Sadio Mané (£12.0m, 13.3% ownership) and Mohammed Salah (£12.0m, 29.8% ownership).

The Gabonese international starred in Arsenal’s Community Shield victory two weeks ago (scoring a long-distance goal in a 1-1 draw that the Gunners won on penalties) and then netted twice in a 3-2 friendly defeat to Aston Villa behind-closed-doors.

Aubameyang’s great form is accompanied by a favourable Gameweek 1 fixture too, as Fulham’s defensive vulnerabilities are still fresh in people’s minds from the 2018/19 campaign. The Cottagers conceded a league-high of 81 goals the last time they were in the top flight, which included nine goals over two games against Arsenal (5-1 and 4-1 defeats).

Metrics

The second most popular pick for the armband among the Fantasy Football Scout users this week is Salah (25.6%). Considering that the runaway 2019/20 champions are hosting newly-promoted Leeds United, and Manchester City and Manchester United are without a fixture, it seems to some extent surprising that the Fantasy-proven Egyptian midfielder is struggling to attract more interest for the armband.

Even more of a surprise, Mané sits at third in the poll with only 3.9% of votes. The Senegalese winger, who scored 18 goals and provided 10 Fantasy assists last season, showed glimpses of class in pre-season and will be looking to improve on his impressive home record against newly-promoted opposition on Saturday.

Behind the podium we can find Chelsea’s new striker Timo Werner (£9.5m, 3.5% of votes), Liverpool’s defender Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m, 2.1%), as well as Tottenham Hotspur assets – Son Heung-min (£9.5, 2.1%) and Harry Kane (£10.5m, 1.8%).

Based on the poll, the main decision managers will have to make regarding captaincy will involve comparing Aubameyang with Salah. We will therefore mostly focus on the Liverpool and Arsenal options.

    I've currently got Son in my team. Considering dropping him due Kanes effect on him.

    Who would you recommend putting in instead?

    I'm thinking Havertz, Rodriguez, Pulisic but want to see how they adapt to the PL/See if he's fully fit first.

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years

      Alli ?

    2. ilikewud

      He has a better record when he plays with Kane though.

    Any news on the Vinagre situation?

    1. thepeen555

      Likely leaving so would cost you a transfer at some point

        Yes sorry typo on my behalf

        1. Bank$y
          • 5 Years

          I like it. You managed to fit in Martial and Werner without any glaring holes, which is a boon.

            • 14 Years

            Missing out on a city player but could bring in KDB for aubameyang?

            1. Bank$y
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Course you could - many talk of the same move - but can’t have them all and Auba could outscore KDB long term.

    Doherty or Robbo?

      Robbo?

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Sorry, Robbinho, brazilian right winger for Leeds

        1. Sgt Frank Drebin
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          It was the answer, but I thought it is so obvious I turned it into rhetorical question

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Robbo but it depends how you use that 1m with Doherty.

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        In the bank to allow flexibility

        1. ilikewud
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I have Doherty and TAA so it's tough to say, I like both the pool and spurs backline. I think Robbo is safer, you can wait and see on Doh if he is playing as attacking for Spurs as he was Wolves.

          1. Bruce Lee
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            You think Doh starts over Aurier?

            1. ilikewud
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Yup, I can't see Mou continuing with Aurier, It could be biased but I think Doh goes right in, his spot to lose.

    3. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Doherty, higher chance of clean sheets

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Robbo. Not sure about Doherty in a back four and new team.

  6. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Chances of Pulisic starting this weekend? I see he’s back in training. If he’s fit I feel he’s a must have?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Even if he doesn't start Puli v tired legs is delightful!

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Now I see he’s back in training and handed the number 10 shirt I’m seriously considering going Salah-less and having Puli-KDB-Bruno-Foden and using the extra funds to upgrade Mitrovic and bring in Robbo alongside TAA.

        Going Salah-less is crazy though right??

        1. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          No, but I'd have Mane perhaps

  7. Old Bull
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone out there who hasn’t gone for Werner and feels confident about it?

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He is an unproven entity, there is risk but if he pops off, it will be tough to get him in if you don't start with him. If he fails, easy downgrade to Ings, Jimmy, DCL, Wilson, etc...

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Easy downgrade from Kane though

        1. ilikewud
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Not many own Kane though so its a small minority that would be able to do that.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I've got him but not confident about him

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Same

    3. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You need to have him or Havertz....simple as that

      1. thepeen555
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        That's my current opinion

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Me

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Undecided on him. If I do get him, there's a good chance I ship him for Martial for GW2.

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Leaning towards starting without yeah, but not 100%

      He seemed to be very streaky last season - was always either on a streak of blanks, or a streak of destruction

      E.g. GW4-9 last season 1 goal & 5 blanks in 6 fixtures

      Then 20 returns in his next 9 games (14G 6A)

      Then 7 blanks in the next 8 games etc etc

      I just don’t know how fast he’ll adapt - and even if he does - he showed last season he thinks nothing of going very quiet for 5,6,7 games - then exploding to catch it all back up again - a blank vs Brighton would put the cat amongst the pigeons

      He also got 9 attacking returns in 2 games vs Mainz last season (6G 3A) so if you can find a premier league team that play like Mainz you probably want to be thinking about capping him...

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    United u21s smashed League 2 side Salford, 0-6.

    That's actually quite impressive.

    Some real talent coming through soon. Ethan Laird and Teden Mengi probably the next two to make it in the first team. But Hannibal Mejbri is the one I'm excited about. Not as good as Greenwood, I don't think I've ever seen an academy player as good as he was, or ever will again, but Hannibal's very good.

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What position does Laird play?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        RB

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years

      Not a United fan but always nice to see the kids going through the system and then making it to the first team.

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ole talks a lot about giving first team chance to these guys but never does it

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I thought he manages the youth quite well.

        Dylan Levitt has just been loaned to Charlton. He'll be playing first team football next season. Really intelligent midfielder, I hope he does well.

    4. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That really is. I think Villa u23s lost 0-8 to Sunderland first team the other night. The gap brutal

    1. zotter

      Was a hot young thing six years ago. Been a drifter since

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Avoid.

  10. zotter

    Surely Nketiah starts given Laca gossip? Are we over looking this gift for first two weeks ?!

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm incredibly tempted. Other thing is that Auba could start up top.

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Can’t see another LW? Saka maybe

        1. Simon69
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Could be Saka alright, looks like he's taken the number 7. Willian another wide option although I have no idea if he's in contention.

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

      i'm going with Adams, Werner and Nketiah up front!

      1. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Could potentially be my front 3... I have Antonio atm.

    3. Bank$y

  12. Cheeto__Bandito

    A) DCL, Havertz

    Best option here?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years

      B

    2. RichRover

      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

    3. ludaslol
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A for me. DCL way better option than Wilson imo

  13. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    might be able to get Havertz in a draft league

    but who do I kick out of my team?

    A. Pogba
    B. Siggy
    C. Zaha
    D. Lucas Moura

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Any of them, Hav has the biggest upside. Moura or Siggy would be my first to go.

    2. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  14. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Agree with Mark on Blackbox. This season's GW1 draft is the most difficult I think I've ever done. Last year I don't remember it being nearly as hard. Decide on a few guys (get them wrong) but the core structure was set early and I never wavered.

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's always been a pain in the ass for me but it's what makes this game so great

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Template is still very much there. In some ways I think it's made it easier as you know you're going to have Auba, Salah/Mane, TAA, Werner (in most cases).

      GW2/GW3 will be the true start to the season, it will be interesting to see who jumps early on the City/United boys and if it pays off.

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Starting with a blank is tougher for sure. Also seems like a lot of premium options (more than normal?)

    4. Carcetti
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, sounds crazy but definitely the most difficult year ever

  15. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years

    Anyone else feeling safe going without ADM and Falcao?

    Currently have Ramsay and Costa instead

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years

      No but scared to go without Lukaku and Sanchez

    2. Qaiss

    Throw some shade at this if you can

    McCarthy Steer

    Salah Auba Havertz ASM Bissouma
    Werner Ings Davis

    0.5m in the bank for Martial

      Wow, really like it!!

        Thanks!

  18. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Really hard to pick last spot.

    Alli or Havertz. Havertz or Alli.
    Would be easy Havertz, but they have Liverpool GW2. And I also have Werner.

    Any helps?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Alli safer for a few reasons imo

    2. The Big Larsbowski
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Havertz for me. Can easily be a season keeper, like DeBruyne last year.

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He could easily and be underpriced but he is unproven.

        1. The Big Larsbowski
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He has done well in Bundesliga. I would not say that’s unproven. But agree that he might take some time to settle.

          1. Strchld
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah, actually thats what I meant.
            Could be also huge to pick from start. Really like a toss a coin for me.

    3. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Alli and then choose between Havertz/Pulisic based on how they get on over first few gameweeks?

      1. Strchld
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It was my plan yesterday. Could save a FT If I pick Havertz now.
        Thank god I still have one day to solve this.

        1. chaser123
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Confident he will start?

          1. Strchld
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Havertz? Yes I think so.

    Auba’s record post-restart was pretty vintage Auba when you look at it:

    10 games
    7 blanks
    5 goals
    2 assist

    4G 2A in two games (Norwich & Watford home)... plus 1G vs Leciester... then 7 blanks in the other 7 games

    (Those 7 games did include Man City, Wolves, Spurs, Liverpool to be fair... but also included brighton, Southampton & Villa)

    He really did love playing Norwich & Watford though - 8 goals & 2 assists vs them in 4 games last year - compared to 14 goals & 3 assists in his other 32 appearances last year

      Bodes well v Fulham

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He's not so good away, Salah it is!

      1. The Big Larsbowski
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Home and away.... no spectators. Basically no difference.

    3. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Part of the reason why I switched captaincy to Salah.

      Ironic how both have flaws though.

    4. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The last time he played Fulham away, I stopped playing FPL for the season because I took him out. I’m not making that mistake this week and he’s locked in as my captain.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I remember that weirdly - he’d had a very difficult start to the season & had blanked at home to Watford the previous game so emery benched him for Fulham

        Then came on in 62nd minute to score a brace & assist lol... then was benched the next game vs Leciester & came on late to score a brace again

        Mad

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          And I took him out for Kane. It made me question why I play FPL as an Arsenal fan doing that. Then he hauled again the week after, so I just stopped for the season. Was my worst FPL moment lol

        2. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He was apparently injured for Fulham and then came on and did that. I was saving him as my differential to captain him.

    5. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Auba, burned me so bad last year. Owned him instead of Mane (my ml rival has Mane), TC the week of covid so I got one match 2 points, and captained him loads of times at the end of the season... that being said, I'm going C Auba and praying he rewards me otherwise this may be my quickest exit from fpl ever lol.

  21. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who gets pens for Chelsea?

    I'd want the player that has never missed taking them personally.

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Jorgino if he plays, otherwise should be werner

  22. Munchen KFC
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Settled on this team.
    McCarthy 4.0m
    TAA Saiss Justin Ayling Mitchell
    Aubameyang Son Havertz Saint-Maximin Reed
    Werner Ings Wilson
    2.0 itb for flexibility.
    Good luck all.

    1. Cowboy John
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Similar to my team except your Wilson/Havertz becomes Vardy/Saka for me. I've also got £2M ITB for loads of week 2 transfer options.

      1. Munchen KFC
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nice to have that flexibility,thinking of Wilson to Jiminez gw3 or might just go with him from the off. Best of luck with your season.

  23. Pacer.

    Interesting captain poll considering how many managers were warning other managers that weren't giving Salah the C how badly destroyed they're get if Salah hauled

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah man. Ironic that I had him dropped but bottled it and put him back in. Essentially reverted to my first team

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not to mention salah sure drops in price in week 2 as many will transfer him for manu player.

  24. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone fancy sharing their differential(s)?

    Mine’s Harvey Barnes (4.5% tsb)

    Cheap and nailed with great opening fixtures.

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Eddie N!

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Funny I have also been toying with him a lot in my drafts recently. My only doubt is the introduction of Willian. Laca still isn’t sold so I just wonder how much Eddie will feature. £6m could be a bargain though!

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Really really tempted by Pepe

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Does he even get a look in the starting XI?

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          We can’t bench him tbh when he cost us that much. He had glimpses of brilliance last season and was so good in the cup final. I have a feeling he’s going to start well.

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            And a lot of people might want him come GW6/7 or so

          2. Zladan
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Does his price tag really matter? He’s just not good enough compared to other options.

            Saka Nketiah Auba Laca Willian are surely all ahead of him.

            I’m no Arsenal fan, nor am I up to date on latest team news. Just my eye test.

            1. Qaiss
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              He is our best winger bud. He didn't have a proper proper run in the team last season. Was getting benched a lot under Emery and Arteta when he first came. Hazard and Mahrez struggled in their first seasons remember in the PL. Pepe will come good

    3. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      ASM + Wilson double

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        They’ve certainly got the fixtures until Christmas for a bandwagon to form. CWilson I expect should become popular.

    4. FPL_Devil
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ward-Prowse(4.7) and Digne if he counts as a diff.

  25. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bit different this one.

    McCarthy
    Tierny Dier WP
    Auba (c) Salah St Maximan Son
    Werner Antonio Ings

    Steer Hojberg Ayling Ferguson

    Too much Southampton. Don’t really like McCarthy but he’s the best of the 4.5m

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why waste 0.5 on Hojbjerg you will never wanna play him

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He’s my Soucek this season. Get me?

        1. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Who you gonna drop for him though

        2. Simon69
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Nah. If you're going for DM get a 4.5 option.

    2. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ryan isn’t a bad shout at 4.5

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Never again.

  26. John wick
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Oliver Burke for Sheffield united for 4.5...,Any 1 leaning towards him

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      might as well yeah

  27. adstomko
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Locked in. Are we ready?

    Ramsdale
    Trent, Mina, KWP, Justin
    Auba, Mané, Rodríguez
    Werner, Ings, Wilson

    SUBS: Steer, Mitchell, Lemina, Burke

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Too many punts/transfers waiting to happen

  28. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy | 4.0
    TAA | Davies | Justin | Taylor | xxx
    Salah | Auba | Alli | Bissouma | xxx
    Werner | Ings | xxx

    Which is best:
    A) Saiss, ASM, Davis
    B) Mitchell, Soucek, Mitrovic

    1. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you pick A, we have almost same starting XI. So A.

  29. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Pick 2:

    A. Egan
    B. Davies / Dier
    C. Coady / Saiss

    Thanks

  30. Neo-Viper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    what you do lads think about this?

    McCarthy / Button
    Taa Dier Justin / Mitchel C. Taylor
    Salah Alli Auba ASM / Souchek
    DCL Werner Mitro

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you gonna bench Soucek for first game why not have a 4.5? Then Wilson for mitro

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Souchek is set and forget for me this season,might as well get him from Day 1.

        Dont fancy two toonies ATM.
