Captain Sensible

Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 37?

Fantasy Premier League managers have a straight shoot-out between three of this season’s best assets for the Gameweek 37 captaincy.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.4m), Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and Harry Kane (£11.8m) are all in the conversation although any Fantasy managers chasing their mini-league rivals might be looking at differentials too.

Mason Greenwood (£7.2m), as well as Spurs’ midfielders Gareth Bale (£9.2m) and Son Heung-min (£9.7m) are also on the radar in a week with plenty of choice.

As always, the Captain Sensible article is here to help you with this week’s armband decisions. 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

It comes as little surprise that the aforementioned trio ofFernandes, Salah and Kane dominate this week’s Captain Poll.

Ahead of facing Fulham in front of an Old Trafford crowd, Manchester United’s talismanic midfielder has the slight edge with 33.1% of total votes so far.

Meanwhile, Salah currently sits in second with a decent chance of overtaking Fernandes, with his current backing at 32.0%.

After scoring Spurs’ first goal against Wolves and rewarding his owners with eight points in Blank Gameweek 36, Kane has been voted as the best captain for the upcoming round of fixtures by just over 15.0% of our users.

The only remaining player to have gained more than 5.0% of total votes so far is Greenwood, as he is looking to continue his impressive goalscoring form.

    Ok I'm panicking with all these price changes as close to being priced out of Castagne Jota to Greenwood Dallas.

    I won't lose value on Castagne or Jota will I? Purchased Castagne at 5.7 and Jota at 6.7.

    Want to wait until United team leak ;)!

    1. Luton_Fan
      • 14 Years

      Nope wont lose value

    Should I do Jota to Greenwood if I already have Rashford and Bruno?

  10. FFSbet.com

    BREAKING: Harry Kane has told Tottenham he wants to leave this summer.

    As expected,cant see Spurs or Arsenal in top 4 for some time with rebuilding.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years

      City United Chelsea Pool for some time I think

    2. FFSbet.com

      Man City 2.60
      Man.Utd 4.50

      PSG 17
      Real M. 26

      Should’ve made his move pre covid. Can’t see anyone bar the Manchester teams genuinely interested

  11. michaelington
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is there any chance of United team news before the deadline?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Possibly- similar to City last Friday could happen

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Apparently we may get just before deadline

  12. Aubamewho

    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mendy
    Struijk | TAA | Dias | Alioski
    Willock | Salah | Mahrez | Son
    Bamford | Kane

    ( Forster | Lingard | Holding | Vydra)
    0ft, 2.9 itb

    A) BB GW37
    B) Save and spend more on bench GW38

    1. Aubamewho
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Save BB*

    2. Mr. Chimes
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Well I would choose based on the matchups your players have in GW37 vs. GW38. For me I have less conflicting players in GW37 so I’m just gonna play mine now. But if you think you can bring a player(s) in that can really have an impact for GW38 then wait until then.

  13. Who are all Lukakus
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Didnt watch last Leeds game, Raphinha or Harrison looks more dangerous? Who took the set pieces?

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Dallas took quite a few

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Dallas always a threat
      Raphinha the class player but still a bit rusty

  14. Pigeon
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Any idea on what to do with my team with 1FT?

    Martinez
    Phillips Coufal Dallas
    Salah Fernandes Rashford Lingard
    Watkins Iheanacho Kane
    Forster Castagne Holding Jota

    Was thinking either:
    A) Jota to Greenwood/Raphinha and bench Watkins
    B) Watkins to Antonio/Bamford
    C) Jota & Castagne to Willock & TAA (-4)

    1. nurav11
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      All have their pros and cons - given your heavy united cover, I'd lean towards B and getting either of them (personally would go Antonio but easily could go either way.

  15. Snapes on a Plane
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Pick one to start
    A) Lingard
    B) Bamford
    C) Holding

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  16. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who gets more points this gw?

    A) Dallas
    B) Raphinha

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Raphinha

  17. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Arsenal heavily linked to Saint Maximin today, interesting interesting

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They'll consider 20 Zaha like players before he gets his dream move

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Grealish is the one man... we sign that guy, that’s VVD level impact. He will completely change us.

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Just what they need. Another headless chicken.

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Tbf it would be a bad move. They should sign from the Premier League though, or young prospects.

      2. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Lol well we have Pepe currently so

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Exactly :p

  18. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bench one of:

    A) Digne
    B) Dallas
    C) Raph
    D) Lingard
    E) Bamford

    1. nurav11
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably Digne tbh

  19. 420king
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Would you change something in this lineup or take a hit for someone?

    Martinez
    Shaw Dallas Phillips
    Salah Bruno Son Greenwood Lingard
    Antonio Kane
    (3.9, Iheanacho, Holgate, Veltman)

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      (0 FT, 0.0 ITB)

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      All good

  20. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best 1 GW keeper punt?

    Meslier, Johnstone or Ramsdale.

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Meslier out of those. Can you afford Dubravka?

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Would want Meslier for west brom if getting him now

    3. nurav11
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Meslier yep

  21. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Watch Kroenke get Kane now

  22. Qubit
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Worth a hit to get in Kane? Already got Bale and Son.

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He usually has a David Robinson-esque desire to get that Golden Boot towards the end of the season but his status, now that he's leaving, might influence that.

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        He wants to leave but needs a buyer. Could get awkward in the summer

  23. Mr. Chimes
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Any chance Forster plays again this season?

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      GW 38 likely. Each GK got two games previously, and now one and one.

  24. nurav11
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Two Qs if that's ok:

    1) Start Saka or DCL?
    2) Is Digne to Dallas worth a -4?

    1. Origal73
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      1) DCL
      2) no, do it next week for free

      1. nurav11
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate, think a lot of this is knee-jerk to their SHU performance but back your calls

  25. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    El Ghazi to Greenwood for free then another move -4. Not too worried re hit as I’m chasing. Need to free up 0.3m. Either way some kind of benching headache

    Mendy to Meslier/Dubravka
    Lingard to anyone 6.0m or under. Foden etc but would probably bench.
    Could go to Wilock which would allow Ings to Aguero last game
    DCL out instead

    Mendy Forster
    Trent Shaw Dallas Keane Holding
    Salah Bale Lingard Harrison El Ghazi
    Kane DCL Ings

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Appreciate any tips before price changes, TIA

  26. Cali
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Don’t have any United attackers. Is it worth bringing in Greenwood for a hit, especially if he might just play once? I’d be transferring Zaha out.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Similar above
      I fear going with United attack. Fulham THE worst defence of late

  27. Ginola
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Chasing in my ML (19pts) and I am really struggling with captaincy this week. Think rival is going to captain Salah. Who should I captain?

    A. Salah
    B. Kane
    C. Greenwood

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

      A but depends on your differentials.

  28. Mr. Chimes
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else on a -4 to get in Jebbison?

  29. Freddiemac123
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    TAA for -4? He looked dangerous against Weat Brom although he just got the assist. Can be deadly

  30. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    don't have bruno so I guess i should go without him. Best Jota replacement?

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      have son salah and lingard and need upto 8.8

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Greenwood
