Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 14?

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) looks to be the leading captain candidate once again in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), as Liverpool travel to Goodison Park to take on their city rivals in Gameweek 14.

However, there are other options on the radar too, including Harry Kane (£12.3m), Jamie Vardy (£10.6m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.9m), who has now outscored his Egyptian team-mate in each of his last three outings.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 14 captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Tuesday’s 18:00 BST deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

Mohamed Salah is the leader of the Captain poll for the seventh consecutive Gameweek, with just over 50% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Second-placed Harry Kane has received 14.18% of votes ahead of his home match against Brentford, and should be raring to go having been handed a rest over the weekend.

Jamie Vardy occupies third-place with 7.66%, followed by Callum Wilson (£7.4m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold, with 4.21% and 3.83% respectively.

MOHAMED SALAH AND TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD

    Would you sell Antonio or Jiminez this week to free up budget for Jota?

    1. TopBinFc
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Nope, both at home with decent fixtures

        Roll FT and then next week do Jimi + mid > Jota + XX

      Maddison or Gundogan/Silva for Mbeumo? (Already got vardy)

      Good Evening all!! Any Palace fans around?!! Does Benteke start tomorrow night??! Or benched like team news on here suggests

      Captain Salah (eve) or Kane (BRE)?

      1. TopBinFc
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Got to be Salah, Kane still unknown or should I say spurs

        • Solanke
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Salah for(eve)r

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            I can’t remember last time I didn’t pick salah !!

        • lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Salah, Spurs are frustrating to watch, lack creativity to break down even a half decent defense at the moment

      3. Royal5

        Duffy/Jesus > Alonso/saint Max (-4) make sense?

        1. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Downgrading Jesus to just a saint..oh boy

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Jesus is killing me owning

          2. Royal5
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Jesus has been a shocking pick for me. No where close to being worth his price tag.

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Too inconsistent

              1. Royal5
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Are you giving him another chance? Got a feeling he will be benched vs Villa

        2. Dr Mantis Toboggan
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I’ve made that same move with Jesus. Planning on ASM to one of the Watford boys in 2-3 GW

      4. putana
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        every week I consider the player who i would captain under normal circumstances. This past gameweek was the first one where they outscored salah (vardy)

      5. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Guaita or Sanchez?

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years

          Don’t laugh DeGea

            New manager bounce, tasty fixtures. Worth a shout.

          2. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Good idea getting Utd now

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          As long as you got a sub who scores 2 points it doesn't really matter.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Home to Brighton , I expect at least a goal

            1. Royal5
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              1 goal in his last 7. Brighton are decent atm. I hope, but expect nothing atm

          Definitely. Nice squad

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

        Anyone for Trent skipper? Are Everton still vulnerable from set plays or has Rafa rectified this?

        1. Meechoo115
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Don’t think Rafa has rectified much. But Everton could reasonably score which dents Trent appeal. Trent is a better punt at home. Or v wolves perhaps

        Foster, Livramento, Duffy, Brownhill

        1ft 0.3 itb

        Would you make any moves here?

        Or bank the transfer and gtg?

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

          If Foden is doubtful you could consider Gundo? Or switch out Duffy

        2. Scooby75
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Foden to Jota?

        3. FITZ-G
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Foden to Jota and maybe upgrade Duffy to Lamptey following GW.

        4. FPLMACKEM
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers. Foden to Jota is something I am considering.

        What are views on Broja as 3rd striker option?

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Not keen

            • 2 Years

            Played in a wing forward role v Liverpool.

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Oh sorry my mistake - maybe then worth considering although much prefer Dennis

      13. Naby K8a

        Where was the best player in the world last week in Manchester? Did he play?

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

        Just listened to the captaincy scout cast.

        Seemed like the upshot what you can only captain a Liverpool player or maybe Pukki this week. And you can only really captain Salah for Liverpool.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I genuinely think Kane is the one this week. But I don’t have the balls to do it.

          1. Meechoo115
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 2 Years

            The good thing is if he fires a hatrick you can link this comment with pride, if he doesn’t no one will ever remember you backed him.

        amazing how one completely random person telling someone that they think their player will play makes them feel better.

        Anyway, Alonso to start this gw?

          Do you own him? … if so, we’ll of course he’ll play … and haul too.

            No I don’t, considering Dias to him for free.

          THINK so. But could see Azpi or CHO cause an issue somehow.

        3. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          More likely to play than James sadly for me

        2 years, 3 months ago

        Salah wont be rested this week and is odds on to be captain. not sure why there's talk of him being rested.

        he will most be definitely rested against a c milan just before the villa game that weekend.

        Could well see him rested , home to newcastle for the midweek game that follows villa so that he gets recharged for the Spurs game on that weekend/

        hypothetical.

        1FT, 0.5ITB…

        Current squad…

        DDG
        TAA Cancelo James Livramento
        Salah(C) Son(VC) Jota
        Jesus Antonio Toney

        Foster; Mbuemo Duffy Brownhill

        Really need some inspiration…

        I really want Mbuemo and Jesus out. However I’m thinking that the smartest decision, with the increased possibility of players getting rested going into a set of midweek fixtures, might be to get Duffy out for someone like Dier to ensure that I get a full 11 playing this GW.

        Thoughts on these possible moves…

        A - Duffy -> Dier/Tomiyasu/Lamptey
        B - Mbuemo -> Gallagher
        C - Jesus -> Wilson

          A to dier

        Hahahahaha, Messi Ballon Dor? Brexit means Brexit then

          These awards have been affected by favoritism for so many times now

            They are overly influenced by winning an international competition or UCL. Hence the random Jorginho love

              What has Messi won?

                  Wasnt that Martinez

                The Ballon d'Or I think

          2 years, 3 months ago

          - Ballon d'or goes to a player that played for Barca last season
          - Kopa trophy for best young player goes to a player at Barca
          - Ballon d'or Feminin goes to a Barca player

          Not saying there weren't legitimate reasons for these choices but couldn't help but laugh when I saw it

            Long live the superleague

        1. Foden to Jota
        or
        2. Livra to Reguilon

        Best move from these? 1FT.

        A Mbeumo/Chilwell to Jota/4.9
        B Raph/Chilwell to Jota/Alonso
        C Chilwell to Alonso

        Sanchez
        TAA James Cancelo
        Salah Raphinha ESR Gallagher Mbeumo

          B does sound nice. And probably worth a hit

        2. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          B or C

        Does Liverpool not having taxing final UcL games reduce the risk of the annual Salah December benching?
