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.

    Jota + Bruno + Coleman -> Salah + Raphinha + 4.5 def

    Worth it -4 in last week?

    Whos best 4.5 option?

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Yes, worth a hit

    2. dabber7
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Definitely worth a hit, good moves.

      Can make a case for Holding/Phillips/Ayling

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Go for it...Philips if you don't have 3 pool already!

      Yip

  2. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 15 hours ago

    A. Digne to Dallas
    B. Saka to Raphinha
    C. DCL to Antonio

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      All good moves. I think you have them in the correct order. Although B and A are very close, IMO.

    2. Snooze ya lose

    I will do unthinkable things if I could bet a glimpse of the city leaked lineup before the deadline!

    Sweating knee aguero (c). Unlikely he starts, but if he did it could be gold.

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      The keyword is ((could))

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 15 hours ago

        If he was guarneteed 70 mins. Would you captain?!

  4. Max City
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 15 hours ago

    Salah Son Harrison Raphinha Lingard
    Kane Nacho Firmino

    Who to bench?
    A) Lingard
    B) Son

      Bench Son, Leic have so much to play for and saints are awful.

    I have quite a benching dilemma for my draft team.

    Who do you bench from the following:

    A) Rodrigo

    B) Hernandez

    C) Bale

    D) Gabriel

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Bale

  6. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 15 hours ago

    Which to buy, Lingard or Raphinha??

    Seems that Lingard is safer due to high ownership in top 10K, but Raph seems to be playing better recently?

    I've tried comparing the stats, but both have different ones that are better than the other.

    My no.2 rival has Lingard and 1 transfer, while no.3 has both Lingard and Raph....

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Any Leeds player, I would say

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Raph

  7. Max City
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 15 hours ago

    Between Kane and Son, who would you bench?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Neither

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 11 Years

    I am 48 points ahead and going to take a -8 for fun. I just want to see a very high maximum for the next 3 months when I login.

    Traore + Greenwood + Watkins > Willock + Raphinna + Bamford.

    I am already feeling good about the transfers.

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years

      Yeah looks good

  9. FPL Pillars

    • 6 Years
    3 years, 15 hours ago

    A. Bruno > Mané (play Coufal)
    B. Digne > Robbo/Dallas (play Bruno)
    C. Get Mané and Dallas for a hit (Coufal 1st bench)

    1. dabber7
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      A
      Dallas not worth a hit over Coufal

    Best midfield replacement for Bruno if I can't afford Mane?

    1. Mike2795647
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Considering Raph, or you could take a punt on Auba

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Auba

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Pepe

    4. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Torres

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 13 hours ago

        Isn't Torres a FWD?

    5. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      I'm probably going to end up holding him (rather than a hit out) just because I'm not sure there's a huge amount to excite outside of Mane (and I have a solid backup in Coufal).

      If I was to get confirmation Mahrez starts, I'd be very very interested in him, especially if he has a chance of getting pens. Any of the normal City options will be a solid shout if you hear they're starting. I'll be tripled on Leeds, but if you're not Raphinha is always a pretty good shout.

      After them... Auba? Not massively appealing looking at form or fixtures but GW38 tends to throw both out the window and they need a win. Pepe might be a more explosive pick, but again would want to hear he starts I think.

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 15 hours ago

        I think I'll hit out for Raph or Son if I find out he's not starting.

  16. Mike2795647
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 15 hours ago

    Bruno and Greenwood to Mane and Raph for a -4?

    1. dabber7
      • 3 Years

      Y

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes

    5. G Banger

      My exact moves!

  17. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 15 hours ago

    Bruno + DCL > Mane + Bamford for a -4? Sounds sensible until I realise that I have TAA Coady Shaw (unlikely to play) Coleman (ruled out) and Mitchell (unlikely to play) as my defenders. Should I keep Bruno and bring in a defender instead?

    Forster
    TAA Coady Shaw
    Salah Lingard Greenwood ______
    Kane Antonio _______

    Meslier ESR Mitchell Coleman

    1. dabber7
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Can't see any reason why Mitchell won't play, I'd stick with your original plan.

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 15 hours ago

        Ah you are right. I read somewhere that he's injured or something. Might be my eyes playing tricks on me! If Mitchell's fit then I will probably stick to my plan. Dont see many CS in GW38..

    Salah Bruno Son Lingard Bissouma
    Kane Nacho Vydra

    1.7 ITB 1 FT
    priced out of Bamford and Antonio by 0.1 and 0.2 respectively..
    guess it will be Coleman out for Dallas?

    thanks!

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 15 hours ago

      Why not get rid of Bruno and take a hit for one?

  20. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 15 hours ago

    A) Play Pickford or Forster
    B) Captaining Salah. VC Mane or Kane

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 14 hours ago

      I am playing Forster over Pick.
      Would VC Kane, but don’t feel super strongly about that.

    2. BobbyR
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 14 hours ago

      Have the same choice between Pick and Forster. Glad you asked it. I'm thinking Forster right now.

      If this season has taught us nothing, it's that we should never C and VC from the same team. Although, you would think this week is about as safe as you could get to do it.

      Best of luck!

  23. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 15 hours ago

    There was a surprise selection boost on Tuesday with Klopp revealing there is an outside chance Diogo Jota could be fit for Palace.

    It would be a big ask, though, for the Portuguese to come into the starting line-up.

    Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah have all scored in the last three games, and will be expected to retain their starting berths in what is likely to be a must-win game in terms of Champions League qualification.

  24. Scots Gooner

    Got the slimmest of leads in ML. Going to be gutted if a season goes down the pan with a 85th min yellow card.

  25. Nate01

    bench one:

    DCL (poor form)
    Zaha (trap)

    1. Snooze ya lose
