Captain free-for-all set to re-shape top 10k FPL managers as Wildcards remain intact

Fantasy Premier League managers are set for an intriguing captaincy battle in Gameweek 17, especially those currently ranked inside the top 10,000.

At that level of the game, four different players have soaked up at least 20% support for the armband, which could lead to a weekend of significant green and red arrows.

Spurs’ meeting with Leeds is the most popular match of the weekend with the top 10k but there was also interest in Manchester United and Liverpool’s Gameweek 17 fixtures.

As you can see, Son Heung-min (£9.7m) proved to be the most fashionable Gameweek 17 captain among the top 10k in the end.

Despite attracting votes from only 19.1% of votes in the latest Fantasy Football Scout captain poll, 26.8% of 2020/21’s highest-performing managers handed him the armband for an appealing clash with Leeds.

The Whites’ last four matches have featured an average of 5.3 goals, a statistic that has evidently also influenced the 23.3% who captained Harry Kane (£11.0m).

That was marginally more than the 20.4% of Fantasy Football Scout readers who voted for the Spurs striker in our captain poll.

However, it is of particular note that the relatively routine winner of that ballot Bruno Fernandes (£11.2m) had to make do with a bronze medal in terms of support among the top 10k.

Just 21.9% of them chose the Manchester United man as their Gameweek 17 captain for a solid 10-point haul against Aston Villa

Nevertheless, Fernandes is still the most powerful asset among the top 10k for Gameweek 17, offering an effective ownership of 114.3% among the top 10k.

Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) is not far behind the Manchester United man in that regard.

He may be only the fourth-most captained among the top 10k for this round but his effective ownership of 111.0% is still ominous for any not in possession of the Egyptian.

Son is the more dangerous Spurs asset for non-owners, considering he is the third and final asset with more than 100% effective ownership in the top 10k.

However, those worried about not having Kane for Gameweek 17 might be relatively (the keyword here) relieved to see his effective ownership standing only at 70.5%, lower than Patrick Bamford‘s (£6.6m).

A small portion of top 10k managers have pulled the trigger on the second Wildcard at the first time of asking.

After 9.3% of them used up their first Wildcard last time out, it 

perhaps suggests considerably fewer of the top-level managers have decided to get a new team in preparation for Double Gameweek 19.

We saw just 0.7% usage for Wildcards in the top 10k for Gameweek 14, 1.9% in Gameweek 15, 9.3% in Gameweek 16 and now 1.8% for Gameweek 17.

That adds up to just 13.7% top 10k managers preparing for Double Gameweek 19 with a Wildcard.

So, for all the talk of this tactic in the community, often combined with the view to Free Hit in Blank Gameweek 18, it means 86.3% of these managers were happy to approach the upcoming ‘chip season’ using only their free transfers.

Of course, some of these managers might use the Wildcard in Double Gameweek 19 (doing so in Blank Gameweek 18 seems unlikely) but that would, of course, prevent them from deploying a Bench Boost or Triple Captain.

That said, the most recent Wildcard template is still an important frame of reference for all Fantasy managers.

Fernandes (95%), Bamford (86.7%) and Salah (81.7%) are the must-haves, it would seem; unsurprising considering their Double Gameweek 19 fixtures.

However, 67.2% of this week’s top 10k Wildcarders are still interested in Son despite just one match in that round.

With 41.7% of these managers securing the services of Kane, it is clear that the argument of not overlooking single Gameweek players in a Double Gameweek is one shared by some at this level. After all, Spurs travel to face Sheffield United that week, the Premier League’s worst side this season.

And, of course, it shows plans to avoid Double Gameweek blinkers in the build-up to one either. Son and Kane face an obliging Leeds defence this weekend and boast a fixture in Blank Gameweek 18.

Meanwhile, Stuart Dallas (£4.8m) and Tomas Soucek (£5.2m) are the key budget enablers for those preparing for Double Gameweek 19, featuring in 55.6% and 43.9% of top 10k Wildcard squads in Gameweek 17.

The relatively differential options include Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m), Ezgjan Alioski (£4.5m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.5m), all included in between 20% and 26% of top 10k Wildcard squads.

There is some interesting disparity between the latest Wildcard template and the matrix of most popular players in the rest of the top 10k.

Andrew Robertson (£7.4m) appears in 31.7% of their squads but was not among the top-five most-fashionable defenders by those who Wildcarded for Gameweek 17.

Meanwhile, there is a gap of 13.2 percentage points between Son’s ownership among the top 10k as a whole and those who acquired his services on Wildcards at this level.

And it seems as if Jack Grealish (£7.7m) owners are at something of a crossroads. The most recent batch of Wildcarders are not too fussed with the Villa man (which was also the case for Gameweek 16) but he remains in 42.6% of squads at this level.

However, his stock has fallen significantly. In Gameweek 15, 68.5% of the top 10k owned Grealish. That number has fallen by 25.9 percentage points in just two Gameweeks.

      When Salah scores a mega haul we say the same about him

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

    If you are most likely to FH in 18 would you activate now for price rises or activate final day incase of more match cancellations?

    Thanks

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Activate later but make a couple of transfers now to grab the rises

      I know once you take a couple of hits you're priced into fh but makes my head feel safer

    2. Mr. Chimes
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just wait, you’ll have tons of options regardless of price changes and the cancellations could punish you too.

  4. Vazza
    • 3 Years

    Anyone here significantly fed up with DCL?

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Kind of. But will keep him for BGW, then ship him out DGW for someone who has two matches.
      What are your plans?

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I’m upgrading him to Watkins tonight. I really want a Villa player

      Not fed up. Was great value

      But he'll more than likely be gone for 19

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Played his last game, either becomes Ings/Martial in 19 or a downgrade

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Got rid weeks ago. Best decision of my life.

  5. PaulParker

    Hello! :mrgreen:

    Rate my FH out of 10 please someone XD

    Leno
    Dias Bellerin Stones
    KDB Son Rashy Grealish Saka
    Kane Martial

    Thanks ❗

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      10/10

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No Fernandes, try again.

      Not keen on Stones. Perhaps Holding over Bellerin to free up $.

      Not a huge fan of Martial.

      6/10

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Bruno over Rashy sorry lol

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Probably 8 or 9 out of 10 then. I'm looking at this:

          (Aguero will likely be Sterling...)

          Leno
          Dias, Holding, Saiss
          KDB, Fernandes, Son, Neto
          Kane, Aguero, Wilson

          (Steer*, Saka, Holgate, Douglas*)

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Damn yours is very strong. Neto is very smart.

            1. Catastrophe
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Close between him and Saka. Few players on auditions this GW!

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

            You get a 8.5/10. Im not a fan of Wilson but could be proven wrong.

            1. Catastrophe
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Cheers. Will probably tear it up and start again over the next couple of weeks 😀

              1. Fudgy
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                Whats your team ID?

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

        Sorry thats my fault I didnt even put the team right lol

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

        Why not Stones. He seems nailed on? I could obviously do Martial to Wilson to upgrade Stones tho

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not sure. Even for Pep it seems bizarre that Laporte isn't getting some starts and he'll want to give Ake some minutes surely. Dias seems a lot safer on the face of it, accepting there's always risk there. I'm thinking of going two city attackers instead.

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah I get that. I just think Stones has become first choice and theres a decent amount of rest from Chelsea to Brighton. Its better to not take the risk tho I agree. Also Sterling and KDB could be huge as a differential

          2. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Apparently Dias prefers to play left sided CB which is one of the reasons Stones has been partnering him.

            1. Fudgy
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah

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

      ❗ Correction: Bruno over Rashy ❗

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

    FH this right?

    Martinez
    Cancelo
    Bruno Son March
    Kane

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah

  9. Mr. Chimes
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this FH draft?

    Leno
    Cancelo Dias Holding
    Rashford Bruno KDB Son Martinelli
    Kane Wilson

    Peacock-Farrell Yedlin Lowton Davis

    All feedback welcome

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Its solid. I like the inclusion of Martinelli

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Double arsenal? Maybe leno to darlow

      1. Mr. Chimes
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I do have the funds for that!

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

      Cancelo is Covid + i think

      1. Mr. Chimes
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe he’ll be cleared by then. Noted!

  10. Sloane426
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Balbuena losing his spot has completely ruined my bench boost. Take a -4 GW19 to remove him?

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      wait and see, he definitely plays a fixture.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Worry in 19 about that.

      But if still likely dropped yes

    3. SackWenger
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Let the cup matches play out

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

      Me too. Might have to leave BB for later on season (not worth too many hits).

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

    My cup opponent played BB......Walton, Henderson, Egan, Davis. Whats wrong with people?

    1. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cup opponent has Soucek and Cresswell as 2nd and 3rd on bench.. Feeling bad for the guy

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

      Some people really want to win the cup and will play their chips in GW17-20 for precisely this reason. My opponent last year did, and narrowly knocked me out 70 to 70(-4). Seemed kind of unfair.

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cup opponent took a -36, rather kind of them to give me such a head start

  12. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which pair score more next game week?

    Holding and Rashford (in 443)
    Or Saka and Lacazette (in 343)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Holding Rashford

  13. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Lowton rising?

  14. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    For DGW19 is Robertson, Son & Kane > Dias, KDB & Vardy/Agureo for -8 crazy?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Crazy

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        6 games against 4 games though?

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          -8 and it's not just for 19

          I'm just saying I prob wouldnt in your situation

          Many will take hits

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      -8? Naah! City would have to rip teams apart till DGW19 for this not to be crazy.

      Just Kane to Vardy or Aguero if you want an extra DGW player. Or maybe Son to KdB, if you have the cash.

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

      It would be a non-sheep-like move that could pay off nicely. Especially if you see another Spurs 1-0 win with a first-minute Ndombele goal followed by 89 minutes of total boredom.

  15. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Need to lose 0.2 from this FH team. Any suggestions?

    Lloris
    Dias Stones Maguire
    KDB Bruno Rashford Son Saka
    Kane Wilson

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maguire to Bailly. easy

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        BAilly a risk?

        1. Fudgy
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Small risk, not big really. Wont be dropped after tonight anyway.

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maguire to someone cheaper maybe holding, I think Burnley will score

    3. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lloris to Lennon darlow

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Leno or darlow

    4. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers guys. Done Lloris > Darlow and Maguire to Wan Biss. Got 0.5 extra ITB that I'll sit on for now

    5. maditass
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who is on your bench? Maybe you can scrape off 0.2 on them. KdB is about to drop taking him in after the drop might help you with 0.1 less

  16. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth losing 0.2 sale value on Salah to get Kdb in for GW18 and then bringing Salah back in for Son? It will cost me -8 over two GWs, cause I'm bringing in Neto for GW18 and Soucek for GW19.

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But by doing this I will have 8 players for GW18 and not 7. Kdb, Son and Bruno being 3 off the players.

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm doing Salah to KDB and then Kane to Salah GW19 for a -4. I can sell Mo for 12.4 and there's a fair chance he'll drop before GW19. I think it's worth it for the sake of 0.1 and a hit.

  17. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Suggestions on how to get more gw18 players in?

    Martinez*, Johnstone,
    Dias*, lewis*, Coufal, Dallas, Robbo,
    Kdb*, son* bruno*, salah, Soucek,
    Dcl*, bamford, Brewster*

    At best Brewster & Lewis are 2 pointers!

    0.1m itb!

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah out for sterling or rashford and back in the following week?

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Unless you wanna lose some sale value on Robbo by downgrading him to another defender who plays GW18, I don't see it.

  18. Optimus.
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    It's good to see Utd back as a force to be reckoned with. No one will want to face them in the latter stages of the CL now in fairnesss

      CL lol, next season at best. But for EPL it’s good

    I have 2FT, planning to do Salah & Lamptey to KDB & Stones for exact money (according to later transfer plans). The former is predicted to drop tonight, the latter to rise. Is it best therefore just to hope they both do just that and enjoy the extra day to think?

    Free hit a no brainier with this lot right?

    Lowton
    Son. Bruno
    Kane. Wood

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Try and gauage predicted points with and without free hit and then predicted points for a future dgw again with and without

      1. fridge
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah good shout, I’m thinking it’s probably worth it tbh

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, unless you have 2FT (or maybe 1 + a hit) and bring in a couple of the city boys.

      1. fridge
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I only have 1 FT so probably worth it

  21. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    KWP and Taylor - > Bailly and Shaw (-4)?

    Worth it? To get this non-FH team?

    Martinez
    Stones Bailly Shaw
    Fernandes Son Grealish
    DCL Kane

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Got 1 FT and 0.8 mill in the bank.

  22. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No free hit..

    Martinez
    Holding Dias Dier Taylor*
    Bissouma Fernandes (c) son
    Calvert-Lewin

    Salah Coufal Soucek Vardy Bamford

    Have 2.3 itb will probably do Taylor/Son to Dallas/De Bruyne exact money for the double.

    I could move Taylor out but I really want Dallas for the Dbl, rather than a single GW player. Other option is maybe stones?

  23. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chances of Saka playing this gw? Benched soucek for him.

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nearly 100%

  24. woodboy76
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    FH team

    Leno
    Clark Stones Holding
    Fernandes Sterling De Bruyne Saka
    Wilson Kane Martial

    ?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Great team maybe Play with
      Kane Wilson and 5 Mids

      1. woodboy76
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah Rashford instead of Martial

        1. woodboy76
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          damn 0.1 short of rashford

  25. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best Five midfielders for GW 18

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB Bruno Son Rashford Sterling

  26. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    At the moment I am stuck with a decision. To WC and BB in in 18/19 or not.

    If I decide not to WC and BB I can field this 11 in gw 19 with a -4.

    Martinez

    Coufal - Dias - Maguire

    Salah - KDB - Bruno - Rashford - Grealish

    Bamford - Antonio/Rodrigo/Watkins etc..

    I will also have 11 players for 18 if I dont WC but just 7/8 if I hit the button. What do you think ?

  27. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    People activating FH now?

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I might. Too many price rises tonight, can miss out on 4-5 players if I don't. Gameweek won't get canceled, highly highly unlikely

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thinking the same.

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

      Yes

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

      I'm saving it, as I can field 9.

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

      Doing nothing for one week at least

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not scared of price rises?? I can currently only field 3 so surely I do it either way

    5. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Made 3 transfers but will activate later in week

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Kind of scared to take those hits lol. Do we trust fpl enough to wipe them out when we hit that FT button? :/

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Haha... I do. I double checked the rules to be sure

    6. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gunna play it safe and wait, I reckon. Things can change at the drop of a hat.

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

      Too much risk with COVID rates rising across the country. Cancellations more likely than not. There are plenty good options at various price points so no hurry.

  28. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can get to this with 2FT for BGW18:

    Darlow
    Targett | Lowton | Mitchell*
    Bruno | Son | Grealish
    Kane | Watkins

    9 players, if Mitchell starts.

    Seem viable to save FH on that basis?

    Thanks

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good, easily save that FH yes.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years

        Cheers

    2. Fudgy

      scary no city

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I know, just can’t find a reasonable way to get them in without chip use

        1. Fudgy
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Do you think the inclusion of triple city would net you 30+ points? If yes then id free hit.

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Maybe in the double but not sure about in GW18.

          2. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Would effectively be FHing to get City for 18 then in 19 (if they did well) try to get them all in again, at the expense of Kane/Son for hits/WC.
            Not sure..

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Unless I WC of course

              1. Fudgy
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                Id hold WC. Make a mock FH team and compare to what you have. For me the chip is worth 30 points tho deffo.

    3. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good to save but if city score well you're in trouble

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yup

    4. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Following week in DGW19 I’ll play BB with 13 DGWers plus Kane and Son via a -4.
      But no City

      That’s if it goes to plan!

    Should I free hit right now to make sure I can afford the bets possible team? Dias, Rashford, Stones going up. I only have 4 GW18 players currently... is there a scenario where I wouldn't free hit?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The fear of cancelled games. That's it

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking the same. Slight risk but thing pros outweigh cons
