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.

  2. Bartowski
    • 13 Years

    Odds of Christensen starting against Villa?

      Who?

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

        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.

    I'm at 3k currently and have TC left.

    Would you go with TC Salah or Mané?

    1. L S P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Salah

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

      Salah for me

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

      Mo

      The TC is differential enough

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

        Salah

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

        This

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

      Salah. If in doubt he's always the man imo

  5. L S P
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    DCL ->

    A) Antonio (own Lingard)
    B) Nacho
    C) Wood

    (Other FWDs: Bamford, Watkins)

    Cheers

    1. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

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

      A

  6. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is it likely KDB will start? Surely he needs some match practice prior to UCL final?

  7. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Targett -> Robertson for a hit worth it?

  8. blauriecon
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Currently
    Leno
    TAA Dallas Dias Phillips Rudiger
    Bruno Raphinha Salah(C)
    Bamford(VC) Kane
    Forster Lingard Greenwood Vydra

    Which two out of four to play?
    A) Rudiger
    B) Greenwood
    C) Lingard
    D) Dias

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

      AC I think are the most certain to start, but personally I'd probably start Dias with Rudiger first on bench

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

    Bench 2: Double Liv def is a bit of a differential for me.

    1. TAA
    2. Phillips
    3. Azpi
    4. Shaw
    5. Dallas

    1. L S P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Shaw

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

        Thanks. That's one I was leaning towards

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

      As you can see above, I'm planning to play all 5 of mine although Dias will probably not play and Pepe doesn't do cameos with defenders. Probably 3 and 4 as they are away.

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

        Cheers! Just answered yours and thinking along the same lines

        1. blauriecon
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          As we all learn here....the actual play frequently makes well reasoned decisions wrong.

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

      Tough (in a similar boat with 5 good options!) but I'd bench 3 & 4

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

        Thanks, fairly consistent responses across the the board.

        It may be a good advantage having a strong bench this week. Gw38 lineups can be random

    Any chance of a team news update for United?

    1. JD @JDCochran2
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      @CharDuncker

  12. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Iheanacho or Antonio?

    Im leaning towards Iheanacho but I do feel Antonio will do well as well.

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

      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)

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I think it's very unlikely that Nacho doesn't start, they need to win.

      2. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        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.

        1. L S P
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          i'm really torn on this too. I feel that the stats/fixture lean towards Antonio but also think Spurs are finished.

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

      Nacho- Spurs defence shocking last game week

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

    Best option from these?

    a) Son (lei)
    b) Willock (ful)
    c) Torres (EVE)
    d) Greenwood (wol)
    e) Pepe (BHA)

    1. Heiro
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      E

    2. Follyfarmer
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

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

      I'm considering B

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

      B for me.

  14. Monkeyslut96
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Leading my mini league by 27 points.

    Am I over thinking in taking a -4 to bring in Mane for Bruno?

    Current team:

    Martinez
    Dallas TAA Dias
    Lingers Salah Rapinha Bruno
    Kane Salah Kalechi

    (McGill, Gundo, Shaw, Mitchell)

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No, it makes sense.

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

        I'd highly consider it.

    2. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Who is your third forward, you have Salah in twice?

      1. Monkeyslut96
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        My bad, third forward is Bamford **

  15. blauriecon
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which two out of four to play?
    A) Rudiger
    B) Greenwood
    C) Lingard
    D) Dias

    1. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A & C

  16. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Firmino or Antonio?

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

      I'm interested in finding the answer

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        We should know by 5.45 pm tomorrow!

  17. BenSvnt
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Martinez or Lloris for the last game?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      hugo

  18. RealSocialDads
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Chasing a 31 point lead - any hope?

    Team is:

    Mendy*
    TAA Robbo* Dallas
    Raph* Lingard Bruno Foden* Salah
    Kane Antonio* (C)

    Forster Vydra Targett Coady

    *Means it's a differential against him

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

      Not really

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

      There is hope. Antonio brace and you are already close 8)

  19. timawflowers
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    which is best pls
    a-mane,salah,lingard,raph,watkins,kane,bam
    b -
    perrera, salah,lingard,raph,antonio kane,bam

    basically i play mane or antonio

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

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

      A

  20. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best 6.1max def to play over Holding?

    Going to transfer Shaw out of these:

    Phillips Dallas Shaw* (Holding, Coady)

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Or Kane/Nacho to Bam/Antonio instead?

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

        I would hold for sure if it will cost you hit(s). If it doesn't I would still consider holding. I personally have Kane, Nacho and Antonio

      2. L S P
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Play Holding, Keep Nacho. I'd be tempted by Kane->Bamford.

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

    Who scores more do you think

    A Son
    B Mané-4
    C Robertson-4

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Coin toss

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

      Close between A or B.

      I'd go A

      For more context, do you have Salah?

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

        Yes got Salah and TAA

    3. Follyfarmer

      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

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

      My question too

    5. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Son .will likely blank

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

        Thanks. So do you think -4 for Mané worth doing?

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

    Benching headache!

    Bench 2 from:
    A) TAA
    B) Robertson
    C) Rudiger
    D) Coufal
    E) Shaw

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

      Shaw as cannot see him playing and Coufal

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

        I agree with Shaw.

        Very hard to pick between Coufal and Rudiger!

    2. Follyfarmer
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      C and E

    3. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Rudiger and Shaw

      1. dabber7

        Sorry repost-
        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!!

          I'll be keeping an eye on

          https://twitter.com/OddsOnFPL?s=09

          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.

      4. Max City

        Would you guys lose Kane for Antonio?

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

          No

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

          No

        3. Vlekz
            2 years, 10 months ago

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

          • Boxwoods
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

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

        4. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

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

          Would you go there as a differential?

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

            Not for me

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

          Who would be the higest scoring DEF this GW (apart from TAA and Dallas)?

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

            Highest upside I think is Robbo

          2. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            City def as eve can't score

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

              Yeah was thinking about Stones..

        6. Ruinenlust
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Play Bruno or Digne?
