Who is the best FPL captain for Blank Gameweek 36?

2,868 Comments

Despite four teams missing out on Blank Gameweek 36, there are still plenty of options for the latest Fantasy Premier League captaincy decision.

Harry Kane (£11.8m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) jointly lead the Golden Boot race and, with three fixtures remaining for both, they are among the favourites to find the net this weekend.

But is there some potential ground to make up with some outside candidates? With Manchester City now likely to play a more regular starting XI, should we consider their assets for the armband? Do Everton strikers appeal against a leaky Sheffield United defence?

As always, the Captain Sensible article is here to help you with this week’s captaincy conundrum. As this includes extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

CAPTAIN POLL

As expected, the two main Golden Boot candidates are leading the captaincy poll ahead of Blank Gameweek 36. So far, Liverpool’s Salah has been handed over 35.6% of total votes by our users.

Second-placed Kane has received just above 20.3% of votes ahead of his home match against Wolves.

The top five is closed by some familiar names, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m, 8.8%), Riyad Mahrez (£8.0m, 4.4%) and Ilkay Gundogan (£5.6m, 3.7%).

      I’m taking two hits because it’s for guys who aren’t playing and I’m bringing in guys who have a good run in. Be daft not to in my opinion.

      Yes for me. And you'd want Dallas for the rest of the games, so it's a good move

    Wildcard Draft:
    McCarthy,
    TAA, Dallas, Keane, Diop,
    Salah, Son, Lingard,
    DCL, Davis, Kane
    (Forster, Phillips, Bruno, Smith Rowe)

    G2G or do I need to add City players? With Pep liking to rotate his team I'm not sure who's nailed.
    Cheers!

    Pickford
    TAA Digne Dallas
    Salah Mane Mahrez Son Raphinha
    DCL Bamford (Wood)

    Just realised that if I don't have a full team, a FT and a hit actually covers itself, bar yellow cards, injuries, the 2x2 pts minimum from getting two more playing players covers the -4
