Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 38?

970 Comments
Share

As you can see from the current results, Salah is the runaway leader of the Gameweek 38 Captain Poll. The Egyptian midfielder has accumulated just over 60.0% of total votes from our users so far.

No other play has garnered more than 10.0% of votes at this stage far, with Leeds striker Patrick Bamford (£6.6m) currently in second place, backed by 7.4% of our users. 

There is also a surprise inclusion in the top five, as Jack Grealish (£7.5m) occupies the third place with 3.4% of votes, with Sadio Mané (£11.7m, 3.3%) and Joe Willock (£4.8m, 2.5%) just behind the Aston Villa midfielder.

    Bench one:
    Lingard
    Greenwood
    Torres
    Pepe
    Kane
    Nacho
    Bamford

    100 points clear in ML, so just want to move up in national league.

      Greenwood.

      If he's playing it'll almost certainly be in a rotated side, I'd be surprised if they don't struggle.

        Pretty sure he scored last time MU played a weakened side, against Leicester who were playing for top 4.

        Thanks all.
        I'm thinking I might not sell Bruno and just bench him instead, then play the others (minus Pepe).

    Would you choose Raphina, Mane or Antonio as a differential captaincy pick?
    My ML leader is ahead by 17 points and the one beaneath me is trailing by 5 points only and they both own Salah and Bamford. So in a bit of a situation here.

      If Salah gets an optimistic 15 points. You'll get 45 and your rival will get 30. So not enough to make up the deficit unless you are confident the rest of your team can do the rest. You probably need to put it on someone else and hope they outscore Salah.

    What to do...

    A Bruno -> Mane
    B DCL -> Iheanacho
    C Shaw -> Dallas

    Option A is has my preference but i'm 0.5 short to do so. To get the funds (-4)...

    1 DCL -> Nacho (bench JWP)
    2 Digne -> Dallas (bench Shaw)

    Ta for the feedback lads and good luck will the final GW!

      I don't think Shaw plays and I think Digne gets 2 points. So I would take the hit and do A 2

        I've got a feeling it's 2-2 with a Digne assist.

        And play DCL instead of JWP?

      Don't hit.

      Dallas.

      But Everton may do okay at Manchester City too.

    Afternoon all, looking for a bit of advice!

    Currently leading my ML by 8 points and other league by 17 points.

    Meslier*
    TAA Shaw Rudiger (Coufal Coleman*)
    Salah(c) Son Lingard Bruno Willock
    Kane Bamford (Vydra)

    1FT 2.5M ITB

    Pick 2 to start:
    A) Shaw (rotation risk?)
    B) Rudiger (rotation risk?)
    C) Coufal

    Transfer:
    1) Meslier to Alisson/Other GK (presume both Meslier and Forster will be benched again?)
    2) Coleman to Robertson
    3) Vydra to Nacho/Antonio (bench a mid)
    4) 1&2 -4
    5) 1&3 -4

    Bit long but any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Cheers!

      I don't think Bruno plays. Son would do 3 with Antonio. Wouldn't take a hit for a GK.

        Yea, I feel Antonio could haul and Saints on the beach. And yes, GK hit may backfire (annoyingly only got Meslier in for Mendy in GW36)...

        Bruno rested seems highly likely...

      Considering a hit because if I 'have' to use a FT on a keeper I'm not sure if there will be some rotation (Shaw, Bruno and Rudiger maybe all at risk) and Coleman is out...

        If you think about the upside of taking a hit for a GK.
        -4
        Your GK scores 2.
        NET -2

        -4
        Your GK scores 6 for a CS
        NET +2

        No transfer. GK doesn't play 0
        NET 0

          Yea, sound logic. Low chance of more than NET +2.

    8 points from top 10k. I think a differential captain is probably needed to get me there.

    A) Mane
    B) Antonio
    C) Bamford

    Team is

    Martinez
    Lindelof - TAA - Dallas
    Salah - Son - Lingard - Mane - Raphina
    Bamford - Antonio

    Bench:
    Pickford - Nacho - Digne - Targett
