Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 7?

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are looking to Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham United for the Gameweek 7 captaincy, and as per usual, the Captain Sensible article is here to highlight which assets have the best chance of hauling.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 7 Captain Poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 BST deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m) leads the captain poll so far, having gained just under half of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Second-placed Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) has received 24.01% of votes ahead of his home match against Everton.

Michail Antonio (£8.0m) occupies third-place with 7.49%, with the top-five list completed by Mohamad Salah (£12.6m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m), with 3.26% and 3.14% respectively.

    Best option to buyin this GW?
    I already have Rudiger.

    A. Alonso
    B. Azpi
    C. Cancelo

    Will Alonso start ? Is Azpi nailed as James is not fit yet ? Could City keep CS against Liverpool ?

        Interesting…Alonso too risky?

      I’m in the same position think alonso is too risky so between Azpilicueta and Cancelo for me

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

        Azpi is a boring pick, but nailed I suppose

  2. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A)Start digne
    B)Rudiger for -4

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

  3. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A v B ?

    A) Mount and Tierney/Semedo(defence move gwk8)
    B) Saka and Alonso/James/Azpilicueta (defence move gwk8)

    1. Karan14

      B

    2. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years

      Andre Villas Boas

  4. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who scores more this week?

    A: Vardy
    B: Lukaku

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy in form so my money would be on him.

      Leicester squad pretty much all fit so not long before they turn the corner.

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

      Better player in a better team and playing at home.

  5. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Will James be fit after IB considering he's training in the pool right now?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Should be I think

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I hope so. I'm keeping.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not based on the pool no

      • Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Based on the pool no. I think Light training on the pitch comes after Pool. Normal training comes after light training.

    4. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      This is my WC Team

      Ramsdale (Foster)
      White / Cancelo / Alonso / Rudiger ( Livra)
      Salah /Raph /Saka (Biss.- Brownhill)
      Lukaku / Ronaldo / Antonio

      Your advice needed plz.
      Could also do Ronaldo+ white to Vardy + Dias

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Think I prefer Vardy and Dias

    5. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jota to Raph worth -4?

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I am pondering over the same move. The question is whether raphinha plays gw8. Even if he misses have livramento as a sub too. Think leeds will sort something out with brasil

    6. steven8991
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      is there any defender better than Cancelo for this GW only? Already have 2 Chelsea defenders (Rud & Christensen)

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Semedo

      2. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        For this GW lots I'd say

    7. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Play Sissoko or Livramento over Trent?

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Sissoko

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Thankyou

      I've just opened my FPL app up and my team name has changed. Players have changed and triple captain is active. Same on the website. Clearly been hacked.

      Any advice?

          Hackers are just scum aren't they. How pathetic do u have to be to mess with someone's fpl team

        I did get an email from FPL saying teams are getting hacked in fairness.

        But more pertently to your question, I remember reading that it might have been Az who got their account hacked and was able to get somewhere with FPL. Perhaps reaching out to him might be a shout?

          They've attempted an email address change that I can't cancel

      Hi guys

      How can I find the section where everyone posts the team that is expecting to bring the most points, taking into account only one player from each team?

          Yeah he is brilliant, fingers crossed he comes up with something. Although he normally flexes he will have news the day before, and nothing has been flexed, yet.

      Marcal or Lowton?

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Marcal, but I've been looking at Lowton. xGC and GC numbers aren't great though. Decent fixtures coming up though, more easier than tough.

    16. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      This might be an obvious question, but who to captain this week?

      A) Ronaldo (EVE)
      B) Salah (CITY)
      C) Sarr (leeds)
      D) Antonio (BRE)
      E) Rudiger (SOU)

      Ronaldo the easy pick, but United haven't looked great lately. Sarr v leeds could be a good punt. Rudiger look a safe bet for 6 points.

      Or am I overthinking this and just keep the band on Ronaldo.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        A or D

        1. Cheeky Onion
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Only thing I don't like about it is Brentford's defense. Conceded 1 in 3 away games

      2. Kloppage Time
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        But no obvious answer

      3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

        2 years, 5 months ago

        A

    17. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Who scores more this week.

      A) shaw
      B) gray
      C) rudiger -4

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        B

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Shaw. If he plays.

      3. We Go Again
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        A if fit

    18. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      TAA to Christensen this week and Marcal to TAA next week? Gives me a proper playing 11. Also an option of getting Cancelo if TAA is not fit next week.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Could work

    19. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      i have 9 playing players atm what do you think of this -8 to field 11 and leave money available for Semedo to Cancelo next gw?
      Out: Omobamidele Mane Ronaldo 4.5fwd
      In: Lowton Grealish Lukaku(C) Jimenez

      I also keep James and TAA with this plan cause i need them next gw

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Who are your players who aren't playing? Omo, 4.5 fwd, who else?

        -8 taking out Mane and Ronaldo seems like the wrong way to go.

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          another 4.5 fodder fwd and James TAA

    20. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Start Livramento or Sissoko?

    21. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Which one transfer would you make to improve this squad for this week?

      I'm considering;

      Bachmann > Ramsdale

      Bachmann
      Semedo - Marcal - White
      Salah - Gray - Gallagher - Sarr
      Antonio - Ronaldo - Lukaku

      0.9 ITB.

    22. robith
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez
      Marcal/Cancelo/White
      Gallagher/Saka/Salah/Raphina/Gray
      Antonio/Ronaldo

      Bench is Bamford/TAA/Livramento

      The Q is, is it worth a -4 to ship Bamford out, or hold on now he's already dropped?

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        How confident are you that Marcal starts?

    23. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Any thoughts would be welcome, is it OK, could it be better?
      My WC is this:
      Ramsdale (Foster)
      Rudiger Alonso(C) Marcel (Duffy Livramento)
      Salah Raphinha Benrahma Smith-Rowe (Luiz)
      Lukaku Ronaldo Jimenez

      Alonso (C) because I need to catch up a little

    24. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think I am going to go Bamford -> Toney or Jimenez for a -4.

      Still have my WC but thinking of delaying for at least a few more weeks.
      So would Toney (better long term I think) or Jimenez ( better for the next 3 games or so at least) be a better option?

      Sanchez.
      Alonso, Rudiger, Coufal.
      Salah, Benrahma, Greenwood, Gray, Bissouma.
      Bamford**, Anto, Lukaku.
      Bachmann, TAA**, Bissouma, Tsimikas.
      0.0m ITB, 0ft.
      Cancelo + Raphinha in next week for TAA/Coufal + Greenwood (-4).

    25. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tricky GW to WC it seems.

      Liv vs Mci tricky fixture
      Raph might miss GW8
      TAA might play gw8 - do you keep money for him?
      Drop Ron? Might go big at OT
      Drop Sarr? Good fixture @LEE
      Get ARS? Can easily become a false dawn after nor bur and NLD (I'm not convinced yet)
      Toney/Mbeumo ugly fixtures but then turn gold in 10/11

      People who don't WC and not taking a hit are real winners this week

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Original plan was to wc gw8..the injury situation forced my hand personally

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Try play with 10 or even 9.. it's gonna be a bad GW for many

    26. Tosa86
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      DCL is fit or not?

    27. Eastman
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Chances of Coufal starting?
      Chances of Shaw starting?

    28. SantaCruz87
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Guys,

      Need some help over here. Which option you would try for this week?

      A) Mane + Armstrong + Webster -> Bruno + Wood+ Livramento and -8
      B) Mane + Webster-> Bruno + Christensen and -4?

      TIA
