Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 9?

Ahead of Gameweek 9, a costly international break and tricky fixtures make for one of the most challenging Fantasy Premier League captaincy debates of the season so far.

Our teams are awash with multi-coloured flags representing injuries and positive coronavirus (COVID-19) tests, limiting our ability to trust assets we have regularly turned to for the armband in 2020/21.

Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) is set to miss at least the next Premier League game as he recovers from COVID-19 while this year’s top-scoring assets so far in Harry Kane (£11.0m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) face Manchester City.

But fear not, the Captain Sensible article is here to help you pick the best captain from the bunch this week.

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

CAPTAIN POLL

For the first time since last season, Bruno Fernandes (£10.6m) is the runaway leader in a Fantasy Football Scout captain poll, fresh from a 17-point haul at Everton in Gameweek 8.

The Portuguese midfielder has gained more than a third of all votes ahead of Manchester United’s favourable fixture against relegation candidates West Bromwich Albion. 

Fernandes appears to be the only trustworthy Fantasy option among the alternatives for this particular fixture, as no other Manchester United player achieved more than 2% of votes.

Competing for the second and third-place spots are Jack Grealish (£7.5m) and Hakim Ziyech (£8.2m) with 11.9% and 10.3% of votes, respectively. 

The Aston Villa midfielder enjoyed a busy week with the English national team, starting all three of their international break matches, against Ireland, Belgium and Iceland. Deserved game-time considering the four goals and six assists Grealish has registered in the Premier League this season; only Salah (67) and Son (74) have more points among midfielders at this stage.

Ziyech, meanwhile, continued his great form by scoring three goals and providing two assist in two games for Morocco having put up double-figure hauls in both of his league starts for Chelsea in 2020/21.

The remaining players with more than 5% of votes are Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.8m, 9.9% of votes), as well as Chelsea’s left back Ben Chilwell (£6.0m, 8.4%) his team-mate, Timo Werner (£9.4m, 5.7%).

With so many premium assets not featuring at the top-end of the poll this week, is it possible Fantasy managers are overlooking options that still have potential for Gameweek 9? Let’s find out…

      B... I think. Help below? 🙂

  2. Mufc202020

    Would you say for the next 5 matches it’s more important to have Vardy or DCL/Rich??

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

      1. Mufc202020
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes for Leicester over everton??

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy

      1. Mufc202020
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Think it’s a risk not having Everton attack??

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          It's a risk but can't have them all. Everton points can be spread about Rich/DCL/James, Leicester points tend to funnel in towards Vardy

    3. Bobby's Teeth
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Next 3 matches for Everton are a treat. All 5 matches for Leicester are good, attacking wise. If possible, have both. If not, I would have Vardy over DCL because of pens.

  3. Stranger Mings

    All, if sterling is out would you play Justin who is currently on my bench or take a -4 hit to swap delap for Watkins ? Thanks

    1. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Play Justin

    Hi all, pretty confused. best moves here with 1ft and 1m itb. Cant get whether to keep one of TAA or Salah or get rid of both.

    Martinez
    Taa* James* Lamptey -- Saiss* Mitchell*
    Grealish Son Barnes Salah -- Burke
    Kane DCL Watkins

    A: Mitchell + Salah >> Coufal + Bruno + 2.3m itb (Son > KDB gw10)
    B: Mitchell + Salah >> Chilwell + Bruno + 0.8m
    C: Mitchell + Salah >> Cancelo + Rashford + 2.3m itb (Son > KDB gw10)
    D: TAA + Salah >> Chilwell + Bruno + 4.6m itb
    E: Something else

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years

      D

    2. Big Ronnie

      D

    3. Top Lad Dakes.

    Repost as posted on old article.

    Thoughts on WC team? Route to get Salah back would be Bruno & DCL to Salah & £6.1m forward in a few gameweeks (although fully expect things to change). Could move Soucek to £4.5m mid to give myself a bit more leeway when bringing Salah back?

    Martinez, £4m
    Chilwell, Cancelo, Coufal, Justin, Lamptey
    Ziyech, KDB, Grealish, Bruno, Soucek
    DCL, Watkins, Vardy

    1. checkit_j
      • 4 Years

      I've got the exact same WC. It seems pretty template this week!

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah just hope template is not completely wrong!

  6. tim

    Any news on Sterling?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      IB injury/rest?

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Latest was from Southgate on Sunday saying he'd be fine by the end of the week. Will have to wait until Pep's presser to know more.

      1. tim
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers! Would need to take a hit to get rid for KDB.

        1. Il Capitano
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, same. Fingers crossed!

  7. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on set up below?

    Unsure on C?

    Martinez,
    Coufal, Chilwell, Zouma
    Grealish, Bruno, Zaha, Son
    DCL C, Kane, Bamford

    Forster, Lamptey, Robbo, Podence

    2.2 bank

    Any changes, thinking Robbo to Cancelo ready for next week?

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks decent, I'd save.
      Bruno or DCL C

      1. g40steve

        Cheers 🙂

    Martinez Fodder
    PvA Lamptey Taylor
    KdB Bruno | X | | X |
    Vardy Richarlison Watkins
    Soucek Justin Lewis

    A. Get Mane & Berge now, Sterling for Mane in GW 11, then Salah for Sterling in GW 12

    9 Mane (LEI), Soucek (shu)
    10 Mane (bha), Berge (wba)
    11 Sterling (FUL), Taylor (EVE)

    B. Get Grealish & Ziyech, then both out for Salah & Berge whenever Salah is back.

    9 Grealish (BHA), Ziyech (new)
    10 Grealish (whu), Ziyech (TOT)
    11 Grealish (NEW), Ziyech (LEE)

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I can see Grealish & Ziyech outscoring Salah & KDB?

  9. Blanka
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any news on Brewster availability?

    I know, bad times!

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m in the same boat! Waiting to hear if he’s fit or might have to take a hit.

      1. Blanka
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Same haha. Wilder PC at 1:30pm I've discovered.

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Wilder gave a very vague answer then.

        2. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          It seems like he only left the U21s as a precaution though and their midweek game was a dead rubber. I‘d say it’s extremely likely he will play, but who knows how many minutes.

    2. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Aidy Boothroyd said last week that if there was a cup final tomorrow he would play but as a pre-caution he would go home. So I would be fairly sure he's okay.

  10. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    benching wilson much rather play chilwell anyway,then keep for his good run of fixtures upcoming..

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do you think Wilson can be good after Chelsea?

      1. bigwig
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        For sure, look at those fixtures over Xmas

        1. bigwig
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          His fitness is a worry though

          1. OverTinker
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I have him but I am not so confident with Newcastle

  11. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My current team:
    Martinez (Steer)
    Robbo Lamptey Coufal (Saiss Mitchell)
    Bruno(c) Son Ziyech JRodriguez Podence
    Kane DCL (Davis)

    3.1 ITB but 0FT. Would you say it’s worth it doing Davis Podence to Brewster Grealish (-8)?

    Big hit but gives improved starting player and better bench player (both moves needed as have 3 Villa...)

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not for a -8 no

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Alrighty, cheers. Perhaps next week for -4 if nothing else crops up, and if I can hold off Chilwell/City another week...

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Annoying you have 3 villa but not worth -8. Podence to zaha for -4 might be an option?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Super annoying! Did not expect to want Villa players when I WC GW3 haha.

        Could be, but may just keep Podence and hope he wipes that Saints CS

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I have steer which is bad enough as blocking me from getting Watkins!

          Yep prob a good move to stick. I think grealish is one of best players to own right now with their fixtures so maybe worth a -4 next week

          1. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Great minds... cheers fella 🙂 GL

  12. EgyptianKing

    Which duo is better?

    A) Walker PVA

    B) Chilwell Cancelo

    Cheers!

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B without a shadow of doubt

      1. EgyptianKing

      Or maybe double-up Walker + Cancelo?

  13. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    For the next 3-4 GWs:

      B

  14. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ok, mid term I think I'm going to go for Grealish and Watkins over Vardy and Soucek. So, this week:
    A) Son - Grealish
    B) Kane - Watkins
    C) Neither this week

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hoping for a Chilwell RC

    Sorry not sorryyy

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      why?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cos I haven’t been able to bring him in yet but it seems everyone else has lol

        1. Totti
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          but he's not yet fit
          as lampard said yesterday will have a check and then will decide weather he play or not

    So from the news, it might be even possible for Salah to play against Leicester?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Eh?

    2. Totti
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      no chance

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Huh?

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No chance

    5. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd call it a 0.1% chance, not 0 but not completely ruled out yet. However from the first test date being 13th, he shouldnt be able to play again until 23rd. Leicester game is 22nd. Im more interested in the brighton game to be honest, and I think he has a pretty good chance to be available for that

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It 0%

      Two hopes a one is Bob.

  18. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else struggle to captain a player from a team you support?

    1. Bobby's Teeth
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      On the contrary, I love to do it 🙂

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        But it's the early kick off too. I'd be foul company for the rest of the day if it failed

        1. Bobby's Teeth
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ah, Chelsea. Both Timo and Ziyech are solid shouts for the GW, mate.

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I think Timo is a great option this GW but can't go through with it for a couple of reasons

            1. caldracula
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Owning is enough, wouldn’t captain either

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years

      I struggle to even include any in my squad nevermind captain one...

            Yeah we've both knocked on the door for a long time...

      2. caldracula
        • 8 Years

        Understandable

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would have been a rank killer over the last few years if that was the case as I support Liverpool. Missed out on Salah's hattrick as I captained Auba though. In Salah's first explosive year I was somewhat hesitant though

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That's a little easier when your team has been so consistent and has such a reliable captain to pick from.

      2. Bobby's Teeth
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Likewise.

    4. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm waiting for the day (preston fan)

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        One day...aren't you the current team that has been in the Championship the longest? You or Ipswich I think

        1. fish&chips
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          We were until we got relegated in 2011. Then I think it was Ipswich but they've dropped since. Not sure who has the honours now

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Easy when you don’t support a epl team!

    6. g40steve

      Yep, cannot pick a Forest player 🙂

    Bruno or DCL the better captain?

    Had it on DCL this week until I brought Bruno in for Salah...

      DCL - Bruno yet to score from open play at OT.

      Fulham conceding a lot of headed chances at the moment.

        Who cares about open play

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno if you have him

    3. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thats why I'm not bringing in bruno, would feel the urge to give him the armband and been sure on DCL (C) all week

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fair... Bruno definitely feels the safe choice though

      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hmm, same choice here.
      I'm thinking it might take time for Everton to start firing again?
      Surely against West Brom Bruno will get something.
      I'm leaning towards Bruno but also have Mane so tempted by him!

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno

    6. Bobby's Teeth
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Am I the only one who is not convinced by United at home? Still mulling over bringing in Bruno, much more scared by his effective ownership than his points potential. What do you say, legends?

    7. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      dcl or better yet werner

    8. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have Bruno, DCl and Grealish and can't decide.

  21. Pacer.

    That photo of Bruno they keep using brilliantly captures just what an irritating Gremlin the man is. Love the (C)hap

  22. Slitherene

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Jamal Lewis nailed, now that Matt Ritchie is back?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure but based solely on minutes played you'd think it's his spot to lose.

    2. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn’t be interested if he was

    3. PartyPooper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes Bruce usually deploys Ritchie in midfield now, so Lewis is first choice leftback, Id say

  23. AgentFern
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How's it looking....

    Martinez

    Cancelo, Coufal, Chilwell
    Bruno, Son, Grealish, Ziyech
    DCL, Kane, Vardy

    Steer, Mitchell, C Taylor, Riedewald

    Non WC team

    1. Bobby's Teeth
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks quite similar to the WC template going around these days. Hats off for being able to reach here without using the WC.

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

        Thanks. Burned WC early on though. A few hits taken since but happy with the team now. 600k OR and climbing

        1. Bobby's Teeth
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Got it, burnt my WC early on as well. However, having the worst ever start to a season personally (3.6M). Wish you green arrows in the coming weeks.

    Team is set. 3-5-2 if Antonio plays, 4-5-1 if not. Bruno has the armband. I'm off today, headed for a remote beer garden for scoops... see all y'all for K.O. tomorrow.

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 11 Years

      sound plan

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Lucky you.

  25. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years

    Bench one:

    A) Mitchell (bur)
    B) balbuena (shu)
    C) soucek (shu)
    D) lamptey (avl)

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mitchell. It’s unlikely he will start.

  26. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez
    Lamptey Chilwell Dallas Kilman Coufal
    Salah Sterling Son Grealish Stephens
    Kane Dcl Wilson
    Have two frees and 0.2 in bank.
    With question marks over Wilson Salah and sterling
    Struggling to know what to do.
    Any ideas?
    Ideally would like Bruno and or Vardy.

  27. Pacer.

    Kane not even registering on the captain poll graphic.

    How many years and people still just will not trust form. Not saying I'm gonna captain him, like. We just will not learn our lesson will we

    If you had to choose one of these to start this GW- would it be?
    1. Ayling (ARS).
    2. Justin (liv).

  29. Bobby_Baggio

    Morning all. In my draft league would you swap out Semedo to one of the below?

    A) Coufal
    B) Targett
    C) Dann
    D) Fuchs
    E) Lampety

  30. FC Hakkebøf

    Had to decide between doing Son to Fernandes for a hit or Captain DCL and triple up on City for gw10. The Son drop made the decision so much easier. This will be my team in gw10:

    Martinez
    Robertson Chilwell Cancelo
    KDB Sterling Ziyech Grealish
    Vardy DCL Watkins
    ___
    Forster Lamptey Stephens 3.9

    Vardy + one of Ziyech/Grealish might be Kane + Jota if the latter pair puts in a good performance.

    Anyone else planning to triple up on City and feeling excited about it?

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years

      I’d keep son and captain DCL, Vardy, Ziyech and Grealish are all great picks. Not keen on the city double up in midfield but as long as one of the go to grit back Salah then looks good.
