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

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Son will pay back the hit over the next few, if not right away

      1. How I met your Mata
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I will get him in next week though if not this week but next week it’s not for a hit

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Jimi could score this week meaning son would have to score and assist to break even. Longer term it will pay off but this week I’m not sure

    4. TopBinFc
        2 years, 3 months ago

        B, get Son next week

    5. Hansel

    7. Abra Dubravka
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Who is best Duffy replacement for bench cover up to £4.2m?

      Tsimikas worth a punt for busy schedule?

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Id probably get Williams, more chance of playing, Tsmi might get the odd game, but will be rare.

        1. Lucky Z
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Tsimikas blocks golden slot from Liverpoil

      2. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Williams or Johnson at West Ham seems to be favoured over Coufal

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

        Don't block yourself from getting 3 playing liverpool players

      4. Abra Dubravka
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks all. I might look at Johnson

    8. jose1
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Foden owners. What are your plans?
      Is holding too risky?

      1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        if you've got a decent bench. hold. assume he's one of the first names on the team sheet when he's fit

      2. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Waiting on Pep, hopefully he gives some indication of fitness

      3. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Fodenfreude woohoo!

      4. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Unless Pep confirms he's 100% fit then I'm getting Gundo

        1. Vlad Tepes
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          you dont think that is to much of a sideway move if he would be back to the weekend?

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            I've got 2FT and no real obvious moves. The extra cash will also come in handy as well...thinking I could get Josh King for non playing striker - gives me a better bench for xmas rotation and Cancelo for example on 4yc

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              I’d be tempted by Bernardo

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

      Sanchez
      VVD, James, Rudiger
      Salah, Jota, Raphinia, Gallagher, Benrahma
      Kane, Antonio

      Toney, Livramento, Amartey

      1. Toney to Wilson (start Wilson and bench Benrahma)
      2. Save FT and start line-up team

      1. TopBinFc
          2 years, 3 months ago

          2

      2. antis0cial
        • 7 Years

        1.4 itb. 1ft, Save?

        Ramsdale
        TAA Cancelo James Alonso
        Salah Jota Foden Raph
        Jime Antonio

        Foster Benrahma Toney Livramento

        Hi All long time since been on hope all is going okay with everyone.

        Keep making wrong decision after wrong decision and no now stuck on who to bench?

        A) Toney
        B) ESR

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          All ok. I capped Vardy last GW in case you didn't know.

          Toney.

          1. Krap Nottarf
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Nice job, last time I captained away from salah he got hatrick

          A

        3. Krap Nottarf

          Sanchez
          Trent, Cancelo, James, Livramento
          Jota, Salah, Gallagher, ESR, Son
          Kane (C)

          Steele, Toney, Lamptey, Gelhardt

      4. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Any news on Saka? Arteta is due a press conf today isnt he?

      5. mcsteely
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Best move here with 2FT?

        Ramsdale
        Cancelo, TAA, James
        Salah, Raph, Gallagher, ESR
        Antonio, Jimenez, Kane

        Bench: Foster, Mitchell, Livra, Brownhill

        I'm thinking Mitchell to Regulion this week, and then Jimenez & Brownhill to Jota and a cheapie next week. Any thing better on?

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Like the sound of that. Could you do Jimenez and Brownhill to King and Jota? Gives you some decent bench cover over xmas

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

            would be just short for that if I get in Regulion this week unfort. but I do like Josh King over christmas

      6. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Son(c) for me.
        Just 3% on the poll seems very low.
        Fresh as a daisy and has had more time to absorb Conte's system.
        Playing Brentford at HOME.

        Should easily outscore Salah this week!............... 🙂

        1. Babit1967
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I’m going Kane for the same reason. Gl

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            U2 Babit!

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

          I really want to do that but I’ve been epically punished every time I go against Salah

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            He may even bring Salah off early in this one(maybe)!!
            I just feel it in me bones this week.
            Go on, do it!

        3. Vlad Tepes
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          It is a big risk, Spurs have been playing really bad and Brentford is pretty good at defending.

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            The last time they played away they let in three against lowly Newcastle. I reckon Spurs get at least Five here..

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

          If only Spurs knew how to score more than one goal a game.
          Hopefully this is Kane's week!

      7. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez
        TAA James Cancelo Semedo
        Salah Jota Gallagher
        Kane Antonio Toney

        (Gunn Livra Brownhill Sissoko)
        1 FT & 2.4m

        A) Semedo ➡️ Alonso
        (Save FT in GW15 and redistribute Kane funds in GW16)

        B) Sissoko & Semedo ➡️ Gundo & 4.5m def -4

        C) Save FT and do option B for free in GW15

        Thoughts?

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          A looks good

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

          A

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

        GTG with this squad / bench?

        Sanchez
        TAA, James, Rudiger, Cancelo
        Salah (C), Jota (VC), Gallagher, Bernardo
        Antonio, Vardy

        (Steele, ESR, King, Livra)

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

          Some risk of C and VC in the same match but presume it's being done with fear of Salah rotation.

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

            I have VC'd TAA the last few weeks, but Jota seems pretty nailed so thought as a backup he would be safe if Salah was rested.

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

        Get Bilva/Gundo for Raphina or save?

        Sanchez
        TAA, James, Rudiger, Cancelo
        Salah, Jota, Gallagher, Raphina
        Kane, Jimenez

        Subs: Steele, Broja, White, Sissoko

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I think I would save and hope Raph does something in the next 2 - that's my plan anyway!

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

            Cheers! Bench A bit weak for the christmas schedule, could consider Broja to King, but maby not as he has Che.

            Or White to Reggi

            1. Pat Bonner
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              I'm looking at getting King for non playing striker at some point as think I'll need him over xmas and with cancelo on 4 yc

        • 10 Years

        A) Toney to Wilson (2 week punt)
        B) Livra to Alonso (4-4-2)
        C) Omo to Reggie (bench Toney keep Livra as 5th def in 3-4-3)

          Do you have 2FT? Looks an easy save if not as I'm not convinced on any of those moves

            • 3 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            True, to get Jota in I'd need to free up funds and do 2 transfers, any suggestions to get him in?

              Wouldn’t fault you for selling Ronaldo

              I’d do Mount and eduard to Jota and Dennis if you can

        Is Duffy benched indefinitely now?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Magic 8 ball says the chances are in your favor

        2. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Seemed more tactical against Leeds than dropped. BHA didn't need his height but required pace at the back against Raphinha, James and Harrison.

      14. Geordie19
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Reckon it’s worth a punt on Raph to Gundo
        Or save a FT?
        Thank you

        1. Vlad Tepes
          • 7 Years

          Would save

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years

          Hold for now. Could get a return vs CRY with their set-piece vulnerability, and Villa have tightened up substabtially

      16. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        play:
        a. Toney
        b. Ait Nouri

        1. BrockLanders
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          A

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

        3. Justin Credibles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          A

      17. BrockLanders
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Must say, I've enjoyed waiting on Pep to confirm that Foden is out while watching Jota rise and Foden fall in price virtually daily. *sigh*

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Team value isn't that big a deal this season (so far anyway!)

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

          Hahhaha same

        3. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Me too - it's called Fodenfreude!

      18. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez
        TAA | Rudiger | Cancelo | Reguilon
        Salah | Jota | Raphinha | ESR | Foden
        Vardy

        Steele | Dennis | Livramento | Locadia

        Livramento => Alonso worth -4 with 2.8ITB or keep?

        1. Justin Credibles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I think you already have a strong defence, not sure 5 at the back is the way forward.

          I think 4 strong defenders and a Livra is ideal

          1. Lucky Z
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            That is my concern also

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

          Keep this week, 5 at the back is maybe too much

      19. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        After another decent week, (63 points) I'm up to 32k OR.. any moves to do here or roll and have 2FT next week?

        Sanchez
        TAA - Cancelo - Rudiger - James
        Salah - Son - Jota
        Antonio - Toney - Jesus

        Steele - ESR - Livra - Sissoko

        1. Justin Credibles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Looks solid, extra transfers could come in handy down the line

        2. LC1
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          100% roll

        3. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Roll

        4. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Good rank! Easy save here, team well set up

        5. Kodap
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Ace, thanks guys.

        Ramsdale
        TAA James Rudi Cancelo
        Salah ESM Foden Jota
        Kane Antonio

        Foster Livra Dennis Sissoko

        Have 1FT, pretty happy with my team but unsure on Foden's injury. Thoughts on Foden - Gundogan?

        Cheers

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I would make the move IF Foden is out again

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

          I'll be doing that if Pep says there's any doubts that Foden plays

      21. artvandelay316

        GTG with this squad / bench order?

        Sanchez
        TAA, James, Rudiger, Cancelo
        Salah (C), Jota (VC), Gallagher, Bernardo
        Antonio, Vardy

        (Steele, ESR, King, Livra)

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

        Play Benteke (lee) or ESR (mun)? Was planning to bench ESR but hearing that Benteke could be dropped (havent seen Palace game yet)

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Play Big Ben

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

          Benteke

        3. Justin Credibles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Benteke

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

          Have seen a few posts about Benteke not starting this one due to Leeds press. We shall see if true.

      23. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Why people still keeping Antonio? 1 goal in last 7 games with no assists while he played 90 mins in each

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          If you've held this long then you can't let that influence the decision - only got to think about how he'll score in the future and fixtures are starting to turn

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

          Just haven't needed to sell him yet. Not many other options that seem decent as replacements and all my points coming from defence and midfield regardless of who I have chosen to play or bench up front. If he continues to blank I'll replace him in a few weeks but not rushed really.

        3. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Only 2 games away when fixtures turn now. I'm still not against anyone selling him if people need funds

      24. RVP 20
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        What to do here lads? 2 FT 1.0 ITB

        Ramsdale
        TAA Cancelo James
        Salah Jota Raphinha Mbeumo
        Kane Antonio Hwang

        Foster Livramento White Brownhill

        1. Justin Credibles
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Team looks decent - Hwang and lesser extend Mbeumo looks like the transfers to target in my opinion, rest looks strong.
