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

    Next week if need I can go Raph Mbeumo to Jota 4.4 -4.

    Rambo
    TAA/Cancelo/James/Alonso
    Salah(c)/Son/Raph/Gallagher
    Vardy/Toney

    Foster/Mbeumo/Duffy/4.4

      You will have three deadweights. Sadly you need to get rid of Vardy or Son soon imo

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

        This is why Jota is gold atm. Plays like a 11m player but allows other options too

      2. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Not in that rush, possibly will give them next 2/3

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

          Yes. Not yet. But soon to rebalance squad

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah

  2. Kryptonite666

    Is Foden to Jota a no brainer tonight given the price rise ?

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

      Not waiting anymore

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      What's the price situation? I still can't get onto fplstats

    3. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Got the same dilemma. In fact had the same dilemma last GW but for a hit and decided against it.. bad choice. I just know if I move then Foden starts and Jota gets randomly rested.

    4. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I think VVD is also an option saving the midfield spot for Gund..

    5. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years

      Rising according to fplstatistics

  3. arkom
    • 7 Years

    Alonso or Requilon?

    1. arkom
      • 7 Years

      And Rapinha or Gundo? 😀

  4. Return of the FF

    Havertz to Jota a pretty nailed transfer, right? I don't have Trent but can't really get to him

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

      Yes

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Yes

    3. Il Capitano

      Yes

  5. Sepp Blattered

    2 FT and 0.5 ITB, thoughts on how to improve the team?

    Fernandez - 4.0
    TAA - Cancelo - Christensen - Livramento - Duffy
    Salah - Gundogan - Raphinha - Saka - Brownhill
    Kane - Antonio - Maupay

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

      Christiansen. Duffy and Maupay have to go

      I would do Christiansen to James and Maupay to Pukki this week.

      Or maybe Duffy to James if you can afford instead of Christiansen. As Christiansen might play

  6. Coaly

    Raph to Jota -4?

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

      Hmm yes

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

      No. Wouldn't sell Raph with the next 2. One of the few consistent players this season.

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

        Oh but his four after are horrendous !

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

          Yup

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Not for a hit.

  7. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Really want Jota but struggling to find a move I'm fully convinced with. Would appreciate some thoughts or suggestions on the below moves?

    A: Raph Hwang > Jota 5.0 (would have to start one of White/Liv/5.0 each week)

    B: Raphinha Antonio > Jota ASM/Toney/7.1

    C: Other?

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo James
    Salah Son Raph Mbuemo
    Vardy Antonio Hwang

    Steele White Liv McArthur

    2FT 0.4ITB

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

      Mbuemo Antonio to Jota Pukki ?

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Affordable but not fully convinced by Pukki - is Raph really worth it with the fixtures coming? What do you think of B as a move? ASM has a nice couple of fixtures then can switch to Toney and ditch Mbuemo

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

          Yes for next two then easy switch to whoever you want. Maybe even Mbuemo back

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

      Mbuemo to Jota
      Antonio to Toney (or someone in that price range).

      I would keep Raph

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Only 6.0 left if I do Mbuemo to Jota - anyone worth it in that range?

  8. Solanke
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Really don't want Duffy to drop tonight, need an extra week's worth of data to find the best replacement in around 4.5 price bracket.

    Currently eyeing up Crystal palace defenders, particularly Guehi. Others have suggested Arsenal defenders, but I've already got Ramsdale and reluctant to double up.

    What do people think are the best options currently..?

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

      Nothing wrong with palace defenders. Assume they will be benched regularly anyway. In which case white isn’t bad as arsenal fairly robust with good games.

    2. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      White?

    3. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If you don't have the data by now then you never will.

      Duffy was in your team so obviously Brighton fixtures gel for your team. So surely Lamptey then?
      Maybe Rico Henry? It depends what fixtures you need to use them for.

      1. Solanke
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Lamptey does look threatening, but his minutes are being managed. If Duffy can somehow miraculously hold his price tonight then lamptey would be on the cards with extra few days worth of data.

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Is Duffy dropped or was he just rested for Leeds game?

    5. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Lamptey

    6. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Lamptey looks a good shout

  9. AD105
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Mbuemo for who?

    A) ESR
    B) Gallagher

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

      I would go A especially as Eze back

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

      Gally

      1. Winners900
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I'm not sure. Been reading Gallagher stats are affected by Milli coming back into the team. On the other side feels like ESR will be more rotation risk with Saka, Pepe, Martinelli, Ødegaard, Lacazette, Auba to rotate with.

        Not sure at all.

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years

      B or C with Gundo

        Thanks, I like B as I can bench Mbeumo/King this week, might end up with a bit of bench headache down the line though.

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          There could be some rotation tbh,so your bench could be needed anyway

    B) Rapinha?

      A

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Think I agree, Raph really only got 2 fixtures in him before they turn to shite.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Not worth it for two weeks only, I agree.

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

          Raph is quality but Madisson seems to be hitting a nice bit of form. Raphinha, scoring and assisting for Brazil, can still do well in seemingly tricky fixtures.

    2. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      C) Gundo

      1. arkom

    3. Meechoo115

    Kane, Toney, Armstrong

    1ft, 0.8itb

    Want Jota in, but is it worth a hit for tomorrow?

    If I do Bowen to Jota I'm 0.5 short. Will have to fund elsewhere. Townsend downgrade, who is rotting on my bench or Armstrong, decent fixture this week, to Dennis/King.

    Wondering if I should just hang on to the weekend to get Jota in. Appreciate your thoughts

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years

        Esr and Townsend have tough fixtures so should pay this week alone

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

      He could rip Everton apart, and his price is going to rise. I took a -4 for him as seems like there's much more to gain than to lose.

      Gallagher because cheaper. Though I would watch out for impact of Eze on his position

        Money's not an issue.

      Definitely not the last. With a firing Bilva it’s either kdb or gundo

    Good to roll FT with 0.8 ITB?

    Guaita
    Trent Rudiger Cancelo James
    Salah Jota Raphinha
    Vardy Antonio Toney

    Right..
    What are Toney & Antonio owners doing?

    What’s the best option:
    A) Wilson in for Antonio
    B) Hwang / Pukki in for Toney.

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Cancelo - James - Alonso
    Salah (c) - Raphina - Gallagher - Trossard - ESR
    Vardy

    Subs: Fernandez - Toney - Antonio -Livramento

    1. gart888

      Own both, not planning on moving either. Likely downgrading Toney to Dennis soon.

    A. Jansson > Alonso

    B. Vardy > Kane

    C. Save FT

    Ramsdale
    Rudiger, James, TAA, Cancelo, Dias
    Salah, Son, Raph
    Antonio, Wilson

    Foster, Saka, Janelt, Archer

    A) Saka & Dias to Jota & Reguilon (-4) benching headache this week
    B) Raph & Janelt to Jota & Bissouma/any playing fodder (-4)
    C) Save

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Saka Dias to Jota and cheapie

  28. boroie

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

    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.

      Jesus has been extremely unlucky tbh. He should have gotten more, but Wilson has collected yellows and you are late to get him imo. So probably A.

    Ben Davies an option? Or spend the extra for Regulion

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

      Reguilion

    2. XX SMICER XX
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If you are going for Spurs defence then it’s Reguilon or Emerson

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

      Spend extra if you want spurs

  30. XX SMICER XX
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with this?

    Ramsdale
    TAA James Canelo Alonso
    Salah Mbeumo Raphinha Cornet
    Aubameyang Vardy

    Foster Watkins Livramento Brownhill

    0FT, 0.3ITB
