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

    Sa (Foster)
    TAA Cancelo James Rudiger (Livra)
    Salah(C) Jota Foden Gallagher (McArthur)
    Vardy Jimenez (King)

    Good to go? King first off the bench if Foden is out.

      Yup

    A-Toney (v tot)

    C- ESR (v man)

    1. PukkiBlinder

      edit: I have James

    2. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No way you can bench Rudiger against Watford. Would bench ESR.

      1. leeboy104
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly this

  3. Vjm6891
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    The obvious thing to do is Foden to Jota, but a derby game anything can happen.......

    I think I'm going to risk and save my transfer this week

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

      don't think that's a huge risk - Foden could easily play and outscore Jota.
      I'd want both - and wouldn't be sacrificing one for the other at this stage.

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

      as long as you have the bench to cover and price changes don't impact

      opposite for me so i'm switching.

  4. leeboy104
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez
    Cancelo Coady TAA Livra
    Bernardo Salah Jota Son
    Vardy Toney

    Steele White Sissoko Scarlett
    2FT 0.3 ITB

    Any advice? Don't want to burn a FT but can't see anything obvious or easy.

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

      Good squad - if you can't think of anything else I'd do Sissoko > Gilmour maybe.

    2. Vjm6891
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Could change Scarlett to a 4.4 striker to free up 0.1

      Main team looks fine to me

  5. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would you do:

    A) saka to Maddison for free
    B) saka and semedo to lamptey and gundogan -4

    Semedos fixtures turn and lamptey has looked great. Think gundog could profit from the mad fixture list with all the injuries around him. Thoughts?

    Or

    C) HOLD!

    1. leeboy104
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'd hold. Maddison has had one good game, need to see more before pulling trigger. Semedo has one good final fixture vs Burnley so I'd give him that before moving him on. Having 2 FT can be so useful obviously.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        This. Watford's "defending" yesterday was abysmal, Troost Ekong's mistake for Maddison's goal was astonishing with other mistakes for the next two goals too are ones I wouldn't expect regularly from any decent side.

    FPL statistics site down?

  7. Fergymac
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Have 2 FTs

    a) White and Foden to Alonso and Maddison
    b) Foden to Jota and save FT

    1. leeboy104
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go with B. Need more than one game from Maddison before getting him in. Having 2 FT can be so useful too.

  8. KanuLenoMeeMoCash

    Anyone know what's up with fplstatistics.co.uk?

    Jumping the gun of course, but I wonder if AFCON could potentially be at risk given the latest covid omicron originating from Africa?
    Not meant to be controversial or political, just purely a post about fpl impact.

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

      Really good point. Though you’d think with cash involved they just move to empty stadiums again

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

        already been postponed once right?

        Was originally scheduled for Ivory Coast but moved to Cameroon this time around.

    2. waldo666

      Fair call.

    3. DycheDycheBaby

      That's a fair point. Will be interesting to see what happens.

    Hey guys thanks all for replying to my earlier question of King or Dennis!

    Last question regarding this please…

    Toney & Duffy ➡️ Dennis & Alonso ?

    Or

          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Not sure, sorry.
          Maybe the other option then otherwise just use your first sub.

    vardy (saints (A) (might be rested)
    Toney (spurs (A)

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

      Gallagher. Vardy if you don’t think he starts but I think Vardy will but could be wrong. Just got 2 goals and will be hungry for more.

      1. leeboy104
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Even if Vardy only plays 20 minutes or so I'd still want him in.

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best keeper from GW15 to 19?

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

      Ederson

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years

      De gea

    3. Bobby Digital

    Should i start Toney?

    Sanchez
    Rudiger-James-Taa-Cancelo
    Raphinha-Salah-Gundogan-Jota
    Antonio-Jimenez

    Steele Toney-Coady-Brownhill

    1. Eastman
      • 6 Years

      Think that’s about right.

      1. wulfrunian

        cheers

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      He will probably come on don’t worry

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

        One goal will be fine.

  16. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Play one:

    1. Hwang (will be last match in my team)
    2. Reguilon (just brought him to cover foden)

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

      probably 2. hwang hasn't returned lately

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

        Nor has he even had a shot

  17. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years

    Any suggestions on how to get in Jota? Would have to be for a hit.

    Sanchez
    Taa cancelo rudiger
    Salah bilva raph Gallagher esr

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

      I'd suggest running the gauntlet, roll transfer and look to use 2FT with chilwell. Problem you have is that current bench is pretty bad for any rotation coverage. Or just do the moves now for -4

      Some ideas
      Chilwell to Livra (still decent fixtures and excellent cover) or Reg if you rate Spurs defence
      Raph or ESR to Jota

      Antonio could be an option but might want him back soon.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers mate. Don’t think I can afford to roll ft with no bench and rotation possible. Only way seems to be chilwell and raph > Liv and Jota. Not sure if it’s worth a hit tbh. It’s either that or just chilwell > Alonso and risk going Jota-less.

  18. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Guaita, Foster
    Rudiger, TAA, Cancelo, Livra, Manquillo
    Salah, Son, Raphinha, Mbeumo, Brownhill
    Vardy, Antonio, Toney

    2FTs, 0itb -- Antonio, Mbeumo > King, Jota?

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

    Best move from these? 1FT.

    A Mbeumo/Chilwell -> Jota/4.9
    B Raph/Chilwell -> Jota/Alonso
    C Chilwell -> Alonso

    Sanchez

      1hr 15, approx.

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years

        apologies, this is not correct, see below.

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

      1 hour 40 minutes from now

  21. Tross007
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Højbjerg or Rodri?

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

      Wouldnt touch either.

  22. SIDHU_MOOSE_WALA

    Tierney to (0,7m itb)
    A) White 4,4m
    B) Tomiyasu 4,6m
    C) Walker
    D) Toney & Tierney --> Denis & Cancelo (-4)
    E) ?

    Current: tierney, rudiger, james, reguilon, livramento

  23. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Are there more price rises this year? I can’t remember my TV being this high at this stage of the season (105.6m) but my rank has been a lot higher at this stage.

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

      Not entirely sure personally, but that's quite the impressive TV, how many hits have you taken out of interest?
      I am at 104.6.

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

      I think so.

      Perfect storm with a lot of premium defenders & mid-priced midfielders performing well above their price, combined with less expensive options scoring well enough to be worth the money

  24. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Hwang to king???

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

      Yes. I would do it next GW though

  25. 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)

    1.1m - 2FT

    Haven't been paying attention to fpl the last few works over work. Just looking for some ideas

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

      Already a good team, maybe try to upgrade bench

    2. leeboy104
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Saka to Bernardo or Gundog depending on preference.

  26. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso or James? Money no object.

    I'm wary of a James rest, but also Alonso got subbed on 77 mins. (match fitness?)

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

      A rest for most of the top performers seems inevitable.
      Prefer it now when it's half expected.

      James over Alonso if money no object

  27. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Projecting slightly here but with Chelsea going to blank, GW24&25, what are people going to do with an asset like R James?
    Personally, I bought him at 5.6, so a lot of $ tied up and he is still rising.

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

      I needed a reason to sell for their tough run

      I've got one now. Time for the likes of Lamptey, Pereira, Johnson, and 3 ATB

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

        Maybe even Robbo, with Salah gone for AFCON

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

        Apart from Liverpool and Man City where's the tough run?

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

          Exactly that. Just two games, so not enough for me to sell

          Now I can. That's the point 😀

          Buy back as soon as they're back

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

            No as easy as that if you happen to have to buy back at 0.5 more than you sold.

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

              *Not

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

              correct.

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

                however, how much could he drop? that's the other side to it and whether it may be reasonable.

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

              Prices change quickly this season

              See Antonio by GW18

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

            Yeh, even that's difficult though with his attacking threat.
            Will be interesting.

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

      It’s a long ways away for now, wouldn’t be too worried. Plenty of injuries and fires to put out before

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

        Yes, although, this is after GW20 so the x2 WC does come into it.

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

      Way too early to even think about for mine. Will very much depend on the rest of your team at the time, value will come into it as you say. If you have decent bench option those two weeks it might be an easy hold. Thing is, most are probably going to have multiple Chelsea assets to deal with.

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

        Yes, I only have one Chelsea defender, R James.
        Those with two may look to the WC but yes.

  28. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Risky going with this team with the likes of Dennis a doubt and James being rested?

    Sanchez
    James, TAA, Cancelo
    Salah, Son, Gallagher, Jota
    Dennis, Antonio, Vardy

    (Steele, Livramento, Duffy, Allan)
    1 FT, 0.2 ITB

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

      Can't live in fear 🙂
      Last time I thought James was at risk of being benched he scored 21 points (different circumstance of course)

      Has Duffy lost his place? 1 or 2 subs probably enough. If Vardy out too then i'd probably just cop it on the chin. Taking extra hits for the sake of it not worth it

        Thanks, didn’t even know about Vardy until you mentioned it! I am so screwed 🙂

        Could do Duffy > White for free, but then Arsenal are away to United so probably not the best week for it…

          At least white would give you a reliable bench cover for future weeks and he’s nailed for them

      Also throw in BR's comments about managing Vardy when he can play Daka

        I know, just saw! Who would’ve thought… Vardy, the pensioner.

    Looking to take a hit to bring in Alonso. Who to downgrade?

    A. Duffy and Mbeumo to Alonso and Gilmour (-4)
    B. Duffy and Toney to Alonso and King (-4)

    Leaning towards A since Watford/King has CHE and MCI next. I can upgrade Brownhill later when I get funds.

    1FT 1.2TB
    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Duffy
    Salah Foden Raphinha
    Kane Toney Antonio
    (Foster Mbeumo Livramento Brownhill)

      I'd consider rolling the FT and doing it with 2 FT next GW.

    Roll FT? 0.5 ITB

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Cancelo - James - Alonso
    Salah (c) - Jota - Raphinha
    Kane - Antonio - Hwang

    (Foster; Mbeumo, Livra, Brownhill)

      Easy hold IMO.

      I would unless you wanted to upgrade Mbuemo to ESR/Gallagher

      • 8 Years

      Hold. Team looks good and there is likely to be more rotation worries thrown at us next GW
