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

    CR7 -> Kane a no brained? Was holding for the decent fixtures

      Sorry, bad top post

      No brainer

      2 prime fixtures for Kane, but prefer Ronaldo long term

        Even with the new high press?

        1. XX SMICER XX
          • 5 Years

          It’s Ronaldo. He will be starting most games

            2 years, 3 months ago

            It will be interesting how rangnick and Ronaldo go together moving forward. Rangnick, short term probably can't move Ronaldo on. However will need to press and work for team, so will need more breaks especially over festive period.

      Hardly a no brainer, no way I would make that move, in fact.

      I would play Watkins over Mbuemo. Don’t do anything for a hit

        Thanks. Aubameyang has been a disaster. Want to move him on and bring in Jota, just difficult to accept a hig

      Nice team. Bank it

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

      Yeah team is fine.

      I'm doing Raphinha > Gundogan but I don't expect that to be a popular move for most.

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

        I can see why. Classic nailed on in a poor team vs a rotation risk
        In a free scoring team. I’ve looked at it, but I think Raphina for the next 2. I’ll likely down grade Toney to King and ESR to Gund/B.Silva

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

          The problem with that is Toney has 3 good fixtures coming up and is tough to remove as a result until those games are done. He's also one of the best subs to have because he's nailed for 90 every week.

          King's fixtures are awful. Just awful meanwhile. But maybe in GW17 I'll switch to King.

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

            Yeah it would be next week, where I’d bench King and play Livermento (home to BHA), then have him for set for his decent run.

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

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

        Think so. Short term at least

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years

        So is gundo best foden replacement if out?

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Gundo

    3. XX SMICER XX

    4. Scots Gooner

      B Silva not getting any love?"

  6. XX SMICER XX

    Does Aubameyang drop tonight?

  7. ADucksBehind
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Auba + Mbeumo to
    King + Son worth a -4?

    Will bench King for two weeks

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

      Quite like it. I wouldn’t mind making those moves but would cost me -8

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

        I am playing reguilion over hwang

        1. dshv
          • 6 Years

          Want to give hwang last chance against burnley… anyway he can be king..

            • 3 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Totally fed up owning hwang and agree him to king good move although I may wait til GW16 if can

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

      Surely you'd start Reguilon? I'd start him ahead of Hwang

  9. Meechoo115

    Roll the FT? 0.3 itb

    Ramsdale
    Trent. Alonso. James. Cancelo
    Salah. Jota. Raph
    Kane. Pukki. Antonio

    Foster. Mbuemo. Livra. Brownhill.

    Want to get rid of Raph and Mbuemo soon

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

      Hold Raph for the next couple of games.

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

        So rest good to roll FT?

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

      I have exact same team except Hwang instead of Pukki. I am gonna roll I think.

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

        Mbuemo Livra Pukki rotate nicely before Xmas

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

      Keep raphinha for next 2

  10. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Thoughts on bringing in Lamptey?

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

      He never seems nailed for one reason or another.

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

      Looks fantastic, getting next week

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

      Check his heat maps, he basically plays RW. Great pick at 4.4 imo

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

      Not bad but prefer Dier for similar price

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

      considering him as well.. it's duffy out for either lamptey or reguilon for me.

    6. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Great shout IMO

    7. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Brighton have no strikers. Lamptey will pass the eye test and have nobody to finish off his good work.

      In the words of Dragons Den, and for those reasons it’s a no from me.

    Hi all, desperate for some advice before the price changes!

    I have an injured Chilwell and looking to get Jota with 1 FT and 0.8ITB.

    Would you:

    A) Foden -> Jota (Chilwell -> James in GW15)

    B) Raph -> Jota & Chilwell -> Alonso (-4)

    Hesitant to do A and lose Foden in case he is fit. Can’t wait for press conferences though as I have exact money for B but will be priced out by tomorrow.

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

      I did A last week and would recommend it for this week as well.

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

      Both good moves. Prefer to own James myself. Raph has 2 decent fixtures and then I’d def look to move on so up to you if you want to try and maximize points return. Doesn’t always go to plan

  12. HaffNanner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Fed up of owning Brentford. Fed up of double city defence. Also fed up of constantly being a few transfers behind.

    Dias, Mbeumo, Toney > Alonso, Jota, King -8?

    Current team:

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Trent Cancelo James Dias (Livramento)
    Salah Raphinha Gallagher (Mbeumo Brownhill)
    Kane Antonio Toney

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

      Actually might be worth it

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

      Not for a -8

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

      Can you do Dias Mbuemo to Williams Jota

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

        Yeah I can stretch to a 4.7 def. want Alonso though ideally

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

      Toney for King isn't for me. But not having Alonso and Jota is an issue.

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

        Could sacrifice Antonio instead. Then I could do Mbeumo to Jota for a -4

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

      I'd save FT, solid team this gw

      Move Foden if you've no update that he'll start to Gallagher/Raphinha/Cornet etc.
      Livra is nailed. Davis and Manquilo good enablers. Can move Manquilo later if needed.

    e.g. Hwang to King, Duffy > Johnson, any thoughts?

    1. XX SMICER XX

      Almost like a free hit team for their week. Except keeper

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

      Can't decide whether to sell Raph for Jota or Gilmour to Jota or leave as is

      I see you have both Raph & Jota...

      1. OleBall
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I wouldn't want to lose Raph before their next 2 games personally

  21. Bobby

    Any chances of postponements mid week due to weather?

    1. OleBall

      Doubt it

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years

      Isn’t weather getting better

  22. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Bench to weak? Thinking about Mbuemo and Livramento to Gilmour and Alonso.

    Ramsdale
    TAA James Cancelo Alonso Reguilon
    Salah Jota Foden
    Kane Antonio

    Bench: Hwang, Gilmour, Normann, Foster

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      If Foden is out he will go for Gallagher instead of Mbuemo.

  23. Bobby

    And second question if I may. Thoughts on Ederson? Never really had a pricey keeper but worth it?

      I would rather put the money into a premium defender

      Could be. I have Mendy until AFCON.

    Lewy got robbed twice just like Sneijder in 2010 🙁

      Yeah, I was surprised he didn't win tbh.

      Sadly Ballon Dor over rated the UCL or international competitions. Lewa should have won 2020

        Jorginho at 3 proves this. He won both. But nowhere near best 20 players in calendar

    Anyone have any info on whether or not Dennis will be available this week?

    Been pondering for some time now, need help. I am saving a transfer until tomorrow.

    A) Do tomorrow, before gw ends:
    Jimenez, Raphinha, Williams OUT
    Dennis*, Gundogan*, Alonso IN
    (-4)

    B) Same players OUT over 2 gws for free, but:
    King*, Bowen/Maddison*, Alonso IN

    Losing Raph for -4 before (BRE) and Dennis instead of King worth it for Gundo over Maddison/Bowen?

    What are people thoughts on Allan Saint-Maximin, with Norwich. Have let a few goals in this season but improved under Smith

    1. OleBall
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Would rather have Wilson, if you have extra ££

      Newcastle looking arguably worse then Norwich rn.

  28. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Cant decide between these two changes please help:
    A) Dias to Alonso ( I think Dias will be rested this gameweek)
    B) Dias and Mbeumo> Johnson and Jota (-4)

  29. Mr_Barbs
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A) Havertz + Marcal > Jota + Reguilon
    B) Foden + Marcal > Jota + Alonso

    Sanchez
    TAA, James, Cancelo, Lamptey
    Salah, Foden, Raphina, Gallagher
    Antonio, Saint-Maximin

    Foster, Havertz, Toney, Marcal

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

    What would you do?

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo - James - TAA
    Salah (c) - Jota - Raphinha - Saka*
    Antonio - Jimenez - Vardy

    (Foster) (Livramento, Williams, Brownhill)
