Captain Sensible

Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 38?

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.

    What do you think of my mates transfers?

    Nacho and Bruno to Aguero and Mount -4?

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Risky.. Neither of Mount and Aguero is nailed on..

    2. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't have sold Nacho this week. I get the Aguero pick for nostalgia but he's scored 1 pl goal this season and still isn't fully fit.

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Don't like them personally

  2. Nate01
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Can you imagine getting Aguero and then city do a 10th min send off like terry received...

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

      Don't see that coming

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He'll come from the bench most probably imo

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nothing to play for. Surely he'll get 90!

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        He's seemingly carrying 'niggles'. I watched the presser yesterday where Pep said he hasn't completed a full training session but would play as many minutes as possible.

  3. Max City
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Do you guys think Mane will outscore Son by more than 4 points?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It will be close

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Everyone's written off Son but although he's looked tired, he's had a few days rest and will be motivated for the last game of the season. Mane definitely seems a better pick but not sure about being worth a hit

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Spurs are down and out

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Lads please help me which 3 will score the most in GW 38. I can have all of the 3 combinations without a hit.

    A) Kane Antonio Bamford
    B) Mane Antonio Watkins / DCL
    C) Mane Bamford Watkins / DCL

    If possible why.

    Thanks

    1. JBG

      A

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        So Kane vs Mane, Kane wins?

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          No Mane wins

        2. Max City
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          There's also Bamford there

    Son, jota, dcl to Mané, raph, bamford for - 4 look OK?

    Mendy
    TAA shaw dallas
    Salah Mané greenwood lingard raph
    Kane Bamford
    (forster coufal vydra holding)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably yes

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes good moves

  6. tinear
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How is Greenwood/Zaha and Digne to Raph and TAA for -4 sounds?

    Or should I just ship Greenwood/Zaha for Raph and save the hit?

    This season, taking a hit results in dropping rank in my experience. Leading by 4 points in my ML fwiw.

    Good afternoon everyone!!! Out of interest have there been any rumblings about the potential Man United team for tomorrow yet?? Or are there any reputable Twitter accounts keep a look out for the usually have reliable news?? Have Greenwood would certainly be useful to know if there’s any rumours about him starting or not!!

    Many thanks!!

    Begovic is a real Chelsea kind of player

    1. AC/DC AFC

      Flailing around?

  11. abaalan
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    If you owned Bruno, Shaw, Coleman and Jota - who would you prioritise with 2ft.

    (Have gundo and Burn who could come in for no-shows)

    1. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Coleman is not even on........

    2. Max City
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You should think of who would you bring in

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Coleman and Jota are 99% not going to play I think. Bruno and Shaw unlikely but could make a showing. However, I’d want to prioritise attack so maybe see who you can get in midfield for Bruno and Jota. Depends on the team (don’t fancy Gundo’s time much)

  12. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Been on the cards for Brentford...

    10 mins to Wembley!

  13. OLD Rafiki
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is Rodrigo a good option?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  14. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bit of a relief I won't be having Solanke in my team next season

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

      What about Rico?

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

        Oh don't remind me

  15. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Imagine being a Brentford fan. Heart-pounding stuff.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They should get promoted this time

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      This has been some game. Nothing like playoff football (unless you're a Sunderland fan).

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Would love to see them promoted. Very well run club. Good fans. And so many times in the play offs

  16. injury_prone
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best nailed on GK?
    I have bench boost with Fabianski and Button.
    Fab obviously 50/50 but not taking a hit to replace him so Button for who?

    I have 3 Liv & Leeds so thinking Leno.

  17. AlpoShearer
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Chasing 14 points

    A. Kane and Bruno to Antonio (C) and Harris/Torres -4
    B. Bruno and Philips to Mane (C) and Tuenzebe -4

    Both have Salah, Kane, TAA, Lingard, Philips, Bruno, Greenwood and Nacho

    1. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Oooh, snap!
      This is where you take your time to contemplate about your choice with or without help from us.

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

      I wouldn't go near a Utd CB and I'm a Utd fan....

  18. fusen
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I can't decide out of Wood or Bamford.

    Bamford seems like the templatey popular option, but Wood seems like the EO advantage would be massive, and his form is better apart from the last 2 games which were against good teams/defences.

    I just don't really trust Burnley to actually try very hard on the last day, where as Leeds will probably have a good game.

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Same here, think you last sentence is key here, both Burnely and Sheffield likely to be on the beach, which an work both ways. Otoh, if you have Raphina or Harrison, there's a case of hedging the bets

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Faced with same - I went with Nacho - Leicester have to win by plenty to have a chance for CL.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Nacho surely in the mix too - but normally you would expect SHU and WBA to concede more than Spurs, despite the poor form of the latter

        1. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Perhaps - but the relegated teams have really played well the past 2 GW's

    3. Cabra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      When in doubt, go for the one most likely to get most minutes. Bamford probably wont play 90, wood probably will.
      He Also should have scored Vs Liverpool.

  19. Twisted Melon
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bench 1:
    A) Madison
    B) Lingard
    C) Son

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

      Maddison has basically no form whatsoever. Easy choice.

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

      D) None?

    3. OLD Rafiki

    3) shaw + jota to Dallas + raphina (352, bench Watkins)

  21. Rewenge

    Think I'm gonna Cap Antonio over Salah. Someone please talk me back from the brink. Just got a hunch

    1. Deulofail

      Don't jump. Wait till your captain fails.

    DCL > ????

    a. Antonio
    b. Wood.

    Have Lingard.

    Cheers

    1. Rewenge
      • 8 Years

      You don't fancy DCL against probably a second string city who are focussed on the CL final?

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Not really lol.

        Could do Bruno to Mane and Coleman to Phillips too?

      2. FPL Theorist

        Sounds like someone who has not suffered through weeks and weeks of mostly fruitless DCL ownership.

        A

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nacho

    Is lacazette a good option? Going under the radar

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      Nope. Doesn't have a high likelihood of starting imo

  25. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 7 Years

    I think football matches would be really enhanced by letting the managers come on to the pitch for injury time. Imagine the excitement of seeing Sean Dyche heading a winner in the last seconds to keep Burnley up.

    And they'd have to wear a suit and normal shoes.

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years

      Take this up with the FA immediately.

    2. The Knights Template

      Yes!
