Captain Sensible

The best FPL players to own, sign or captain for Gameweek 16

Liverpool, Leeds and Burnley are the key teams for the Gameweek 16 Scout Picks.

We have included a double-up from each of these clubs as they prepare to face Newcastle, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United between now and Thursday.

This team was chosen by Scout Squad pundits David, Neale, Tom and Andy – and includes a longer-than-usual captaincy segment considering the lack of turnaround time for one of Jan’s excellent Captain Sensible articles.

We line-up in the 4-3-3 formation, coming in £82.0m, £1.0m inside our budget of £83.0m.

Goalkeeper

Alex McCarthy (£4.7m) remains one of the best value assets in FPL this season, offering 13.2 points per million spent, third among goalkeepers. Fresh from a 0-0 draw with Fulham, Southampton host a West Ham side who, aside from Tomas Soucek, spent large parts of Sunday afternoon offering little going forward.

Defenders

Ahead of travelling to Newcastle, Andrew Robertson (£7.3m) is joint-top for chances created among defenders over the last four matches. Meanwhile, the Magpies have failed to score in each of their last two meetings with top-six opposition this season.

João Cancelo (£5.6m) looks likely to get another start for Manchester City as they face Everton at Goodison Park. Kyle Walker remains sidelined following a positive coronavirus (COVID-19) test while Guardiola hailed Cancelo’s “regeneration and physicality” as “incredible” in his pre-match press conference. Manchester City’s defensive capabilities continue to inspire confidence. Ahead of meeting an Everton side still without Richarlison and James Rodríguez, the Citizens have conceded just one goal since Gameweek 10.

Stuart Dallas (£4.7m) is another rather locked-in defender due to absences elsewhere in his team. Leeds are still without Liam Cooper (abdomen), Robin Koch (knee) and Diego Llorente (muscle), leaving Marcelo Bielsa no choice but to keep the Northern Ireland international at right-back. While West Bromwich Albion stifled Liverpool at Anfield, we expect them to come out of the traps a little more against Leeds, leaving more spaces for exploitation than we saw on Sunday. That should benefit Dallas, who sits behind only three defenders for attempts on goal in the last four matches.

The inclusion of Charlie Taylor (£4.5m) in the Gameweek 16 Scout Picks is a relatively routine one. Burnley have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three meetings with a bottom-eight Premier League side. Meanwhile, winless basement boys Sheffield United have the worst goals per game ratio in the division after 15 Gameweeks (0.5).

Midfielders

Salah building up massive power in top 10k after Gameweek 14 haul

Despite a reputation for only delivering at Anfield, Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) has registered either a goal, assist or both in each of his last six away matches. The Gameweek 2 win at Chelsea was the last time the Egyptian blanked on the road for Liverpool, averaging 9.8 points in that time. In fact, 62 of Salah’s 120 points this season (51.7%) have come away from Anfield. So facing a Newcastle outfit with one clean sheet since Gameweek 2 looks very favourable indeed.

Fresh from another away-day double-digit haul, Bruno Fernandes (£11.1m) retains his Scout Picks place despite the short turnaround. The Portuguese international is too pivotal to Manchester United’s fortunes for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to rest him for a big clash with Wolves and his posted a double-figure score in two of his last three home matches.

Jack Grealish (£7.8m) was desperately unfortunate not to get some assists against Crystal Palace as Aston Villa managed to roll the Eagles over despite the man-disadvantage. Seeing Chelsea crumble under an out-of-form Arsenal attack suggests Grealish can continue his decent form even at Stamford Bridge, where Frank Lampard will almost certainly have to break up the back-four that has provided so much defensive stability this season.

Forwards

We expect an improved Fulham defence to park the bus at Spurs on Thursday night, but we also fancy Harry Kane (£11.0m) to make a breakthrough. He has scored or assisted in all six of Spurs’ meetings with bottom-eight sides this season. Crucially, Kane found the net in each of his last two at home against such opposition (Brighton and Arsenal).

As already mentioned, West Bromwich Albion are a lot more likely to venture forth at home against Leeds than they did at Anfield, opening up space for Patrick Bamford (£6.5m) to exploit. The Leeds forward has been excellent away from home this season, netting seven times on the road since promotion.

Chris Wood (£6.2m) is top of the league for expected goals (non-penalty) over the last four matches. That bodes well ahead of facing Sheffield United side that is yet to keep a clean sheet in 2020/21.

Substitutes

  • Sam Johnstone (£4.5m)
  • Serge Aurier (£5.2m)
  • Anwar El Ghazi (£5.7m)
  • Raphinha (£5.4m)

THE CAPTAIN

Who are the best captain options for FPL Gameweek 36+?

As there was no time for a Captain Sensible article between Gameweeks 15 and 16 today, we have condensed it into the armband section of this piece.

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

COMMUNITY CHAMPION

Each week, one of the Fantasy Football Scout community takes on the Scout Picks by pitting their chosen XI against ours.

The Community Member who beats our team by the largest margin will win a £100 Amazon Voucher and a place in our Moderators and Contributors League for the following season.

Rupert the Horse helped the Community Champions to their seventh victory of the campaign in Gameweek 15, winning by a 47-36 score-line. The Scout Picks lead 8-7 for the season.

Forever In Our Shadow takes us on for Gameweek 16 going with a 4-3-3 formation of Pope; Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Tarkowski, Dallas; Salah (vc), Fernandes, Raphinha; Kane (c), Bamford, Wood.

AA33 is the current leader, defeating the Scout Picks by a 53-point margin in Gameweek 2.

    Got one more FT, worth doing DCL to Firminio or any other striker Max 9.8 - I have Bamford and Watkins. Will probably hold, and get Vardy new gw. Aiming at BB GW19

    2. Jack Burton

      I'm thinking about it

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

    Finalising the WC. Thoughts?

    A) Lowton, Dallas, Coufal, F.Silva
    B) C.Taylor, Alioski, Balbuena, Rodrigo
    C) Lowton, Dallas, Struijk, Barnes

    McCarthy, Johnstone
    Robbo, Cancelo, XXX, XXX, XXX

    1. cigan
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Out of these, B

      Btw I'd be wary of Curtis Jones with Milner, Keita, Chamberlain, Shaqiri all back and Thiago return imminent. I mean, he'll play but deffo not every game

  4. Mattymo23
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on combo for WC Team

    A) Wood + Soucek + Lowton

    B) Adams + Raphina + O'Shea

    If I did A might do Wood to Adams for DGW19

  5. Pedram
    • 10 Years

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully

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

      Started on the 26th last year and was benched on the 28th so I'm doubtful especially given his injury record this season.

  8. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Firmino, Adams to Vardy, Antonio could be lovely for the dgw

    1. tractorjess
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Also planning Antonio for the DGW, but possibly too risky to get him yet.

  9. Pre-GW16-deadline A or B Questions

    Time for the pre-deadline A or B thread!

    What are your last minute questions on captaincy/transfers/bench/anything else?

    Please post as an A or B question, and please answer a few other people after you post yours.

    Good luck all!

      Mitchell -> Alioski worth a -4?
      Seems like a GW where you need a playing bench 😀
      Would probably play Alioski and bench Welbeck, Balbuena and Brewster.

    30. The Red Devil

      Three options

      3 years, 3 months ago

      Meslier nyland
      Zouma Alioski Taylor Bednarek Dunne
      Kdb Salah son grealish Fernandes
      DCL Bamford Brewster

      2 FT 0.0ITB

      Three options

      A- Kdb -> Neto
      B- Kdb + Brewster -> Soucek + Kane
      C- grealish -> Neto

      1. UshFPL
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        None of those. Sell DCL or Zouma

    32. Kroos Kontrol
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A) Pulisic (hold, likely benched)
      B) Grealish (-4)
      C) Zaha (-4)
      D) Mahrez (-4)

      Transfer will happen down the line anyway since I am FH19.

      1. UshFPL
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure between A or B. Consider Maddison?

    33. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A. Martinelli + Dier
      B. Saka + Stones

      (GW18 in mind too)

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        B

        B

      3. Kabayan
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        B. But maybe Saka + Dier

    34. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A) Kilman > TAA, bench Grealish (che)

      B) Save ft, play Grealish

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I like A, but is there another defender you could bench to field Grealish?

    35. mash
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      WC, with FH18 and BB19 planned

      McCarthy Johnstone
      Robertson Justin Coufal Taylor _____
      Salah Fernandes Son _____ _____
      _____ Bamford Adams

      All options leave 0.0 in the bank

      A) Dallas, Soucek, Anguissa, Kane
      B) Dallas, Soucek, Raphinha, Vardy
      C) Cancelo, Soucek, Anguissa, Vardy

      A is my default choice, with Kane to Vardy pencilled in got BB19. ANy opinions appreciated, good luck to everyone!

      1. UshFPL
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I'd downgrade your sub keeper. You're making sacrifices just for the sake of 1 GW

        1. mash
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers - I agree, but plan to use my second wildcard sometime around GW25, so hopefully won't be saddled with them for too long! They don't rotate toooo badly in the meantime...

    36. FPLHaggis

      3 years, 3 months ago

      Start or bench:

      A. DCL
      B. Soucek

      2. Ayling

      1. UshFPL

    Madness to start Justin over Dias this week?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not at all

    2. tractorjess
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Rumoured Amartey starts over Justin today

  11. 2OLEgend
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Got my self some serious benching headache when planning for BB19. Who to bench and who to cap?

    McCarthy
    Zouma, Dallas, Cresswell
    Salah(C), Bruno, Son, Soucek
    DCL, Bamford, Vardy
    (Martinez, Raphinha, Dias, Coufal)

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bench Coufal, DCL & Soucek

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        coufal?

    2. Phlajo
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bench Martinez, Dallas, Coufal and Soucek.

      Cap Salah

  12. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So here’s my final question for this GW. Want to plan for DGW by getting Johnstone and Cresswell (I am BBing)

    0FT, 1.7ITB

    Martinez
    Dias Coufal Dallas
    Bruno Salah Son Raphinha
    Kane Bamford Watkins

    Forster* Soucek R.James Ferguson*

    A) Ferguson -> Cresswell (play over Coufal)
    B) Forster -> Johnstone (play over Martinez)
    C) Do neither

    NOTE: would have to do for hit later in anyway, so more likely to pay off if I do early 🙂

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

      Why not buy Taylor over Cresswell? Diversifies your defense for later in the season. Better fixtures now and good fixture in GW17 which your defense really needs.

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Much prefer Cresswell for dgw and is on set pieces

  13. acidicleo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which one for a 4 match punt?

    A) Adams (WHU / LIV / lei / lee)
    B) Wood (SHU / FUL / whu/ liv)

    Cheers..

    1. demob

      A

  14. demob

    Morning all.. Bench Adams v West ham, or Neto vs United

    1. demob
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry.. Bench
      A) Adams v West ham
      B) Neto v man u

      1. acidicleo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        A if you dont have another option.

  15. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Help me choose one?

    A) If I get Kane this week.
    DGW 19 might look something like this : Matip, Dias, Kane, Bamford, Watkins

    B) If I get Son this week.
    DGW 19 might look something like this :
    Stones, Ayling, Son, Vardy, Adams

    1. demob
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

  16. Openboxman
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Johnstone
    Dallas - robbo - Chilwell- Taylor - dias
    Kdb - salah - son
    Adams- bamford

    Martinez - bowen - grealish - brewster

    Would you set up any different? 5 atb seems like it never works but don't fancy bowen or grealish

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Personally would play Grealish over one of the defenders

  17. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Martinez
    Cancelo Dias Regulion
    Salah Son Grealish Bruno Bowen
    DCL Bamford
    (4.0 Ayling Lewis Brewster)
    2.6ITB 0FT

    Plan to FH19.

    Anything worth a hit? Bowen->9.2 or could do Bowen DCL->Soucek Kane for -8..

  18. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is Dias nailed?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Boz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Seems to be

  19. konrad.sygula95
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Hi guys, what would you change in that team?

    Martinez
    Dier/Coufal/Cancelo
    KDB/Fernandes/Salah(c)/Grealish
    Watkins/DCL/Bamford

    Bench: Forster/KWP/Kilman/Bissouma
    2ft 1.1 itb

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

    Play DCL or Soucek?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      DCL

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sou

  21. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Robertson, Balbuena, Adams

    OR

    Dias, Dallas, Wood

    Thanks!

    1. Boleyn Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      The first option but maybe TAA & Taylor instead of Robbo & Balbuena?

  22. Chief Break-Everything
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Martinez (steer)
    Reguillon Taylor Dallas (Coufal Mitchell)
    Salah Bruno Grealish Son (Burke)
    Kane DCL Adams

    1FT 1.0 ITB

    Roll FT?

  23. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which combo for dgw?

    A) Salah/Mane/Martial/Dallas
    B) Salah/Rashford/Robertson/Adams

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Prefer B

    3. Boz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

  24. Boz
    • 11 Years

    Apologies if this has been asked before but when is the 5 YC ban deadline? This GW?

  25. Jdpz

    Captain
    a) Salah
    b) Mane
    c) Bruno
    d) Martial

    1. Boz
      • 11 Years

      A

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

      A

  26. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What to do here? 😀 1.6 ITB and 1 FT
    Obviously I want to do KDB -> Salah for free leaving me with 0.6 ITB
    Another transfer worth a -4?

    Team is:
    Martínez
    TAA - Robertson - Coufal
    KDB - Fernandes - Son - Rashford - Grealish
    Bamford - Welbeck

    (Farrell, Balbuena, Brewster, Mitchell)

  27. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Im capping Bruno guys. I have 10 captain fails this season. You've been warned, Salah is the best captain pick.

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Captained KDB for the last 5 GWs...
      Surely you've done better than me 😉

  28. smix
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bad options but do I play:
    A. DCL or
    B. Bowen ?

    1. Boleyn Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A - Just because DCL should in theory be nailed on to start

  29. Taff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Morning all. Am in a real pickle about what to do with this lot. Planning to FH18 and BB19. Need to deal with Matip and am contemplating binning KdB but Son who would have been the obvious replacement seems to have gone horribly off the boil. Do feel exposed with no Spurs but have got away with it so far.

    Martinez (Steer)
    Matip*, Robbie, Taylor, James, Coufal
    Mo, KdB*, Bruno, Grealish, Soucek
    Adams, Bamford DCL

  30. Blue Moon Rising
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    McCarthy Johnstone
    Robbo Coufal Justin Dallas Taylor
    Salah Son Bruno Souceck Bissouma
    Bamford Kane Adams

    Wildcard ready?
