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.

        Defender for Chelsea.

        I'd say not high enough for me to keep on my team but would look at presser info and do a last half hour search of his name to see if there is a clear indication he is out or iffy.

      Antonio for me. Largely because Nacho didn't start Vs Chelsea so, despite a return, he might not start (although I think Brendan would be foolish not too)

        Yeah that is a slight concern and a very odd thing to do. Cant see him not starting this game though. I actually think Iheanacho has been the best striker in the league since GW22. The stats reflect that as well.

          Not fully convinced of his reliability yet, but been on the money the limited time I've been watching. Probably the best bet.

          There's going to be a lot of fake stuff tomorrow, mainly because theres a number of big twitter accounts that RT without thinking. Be very careful acting on anything you see, if there is genuine news it will be widely reported.

            Tough one. Kane chasing golden boot, wouldn't bet against it

            No. Kane still playing for the Boot. Will be motivated.

          Pablo Hernandez is as likely to score as Mane according to the bookies?

          Would you go there as a differential?
