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

    Roll FT or replace Havertz or Antonio?

    Got Antonio from the start and have good value in him.
    Also got Jota, so i cant do Havertz to Jota.

    1. LC1
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Havertz to Maddison or Gundo?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Havertz to Gundo

  2. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years

    Kane (C)

    Who's coming with me? *Jerry Maguire*

    1. FantasyClub
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I have Kane but I think I’m too scared

      1. LC1
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        This

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

      I’ll be on the train to Norwich though (C)

    3. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years

      Thinking...might join

    4. JoeTweaks
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm okay just owning...salah captain

    5. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm doing it, 3 times I've gone away from salah and its backfired spectacularly everytime, so surely can't happen again!

      1. 2999 - Lady of Legend
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        1 time away from Salah, the 24 point game! Thought Man U would be well up for that, was very wrong.

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, that was one of the games, I posted earlier, I think those 3 games not capping him cost me 37 points.

    6. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      So tempted by Callum, voted him in the poll. But will end up chickening out and staying with Salah.

  3. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A. Havertz to Jota
    B. Chilwell to alonso

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I would do both for a hit. Chilwell out is effectively -2 and Havertz not a nailed starter anymore with players back from injury

  4. HonestBlatter
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Raph to Gundo or roll FT?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Tough decision. Depends on your transfer plans if you save FT.

    2. Pops15
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm tempted by Gundo as well but Raph has 2 great fixtures. I would say hold and maybe make the move in 2 gws

    3. CAP
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm giving Raph at least the next two. Roll imo

      1. HonestBlatter
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I'll do the same. Let's give Raph time to bright

  5. Pops15
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    42 points behind ML rival. Is it too early to start gambling on captains? Thinking Jota could be a decent shout this week. His XGI is through the roof compared to anyone else.

    Thoughts?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes too early.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      My rival was 46 points behind me two weeks ago. Now he’s 11 ahead.

    3. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      42 points is nothing this early on. I caught ml leader by 28 this gw, it just takes 1 good gw and your back up there.

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        *35 points even.

  10. faux_C

    Rudiger or James?

    1. Tonyawesome69

      James - ceiling is higher and good long term pick

    Of course Aubameyang drops on the only day price change predictor doesn't work.

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years

      It was working you just had to refresh every other minute and it would eventually work.

      1. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Really? Well I've tried a few times on computer and phone but it didn't work. The page is still down.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Cok3y5murf

      Another 1m drop and he might actually be worth it 😉

    Save FT or change something?

      Save

  16. jackx13
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Looking at this team, there's nothing I'd like to change immediately, however it feels really awkward burning a FT
    2FT 1.6 ITB

    McCarthy - Ramsdale

    James - TAA - Cancelo - Livramento - Williams

    Salah - Son - Maddison - Raphinha - Brownhill

    Jesus - Jimenez - Toney

    What do you guys reckon?

    1. CAP
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Williams to Johnson? In a better team and similar price

      1. jackx13
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Was thinking of Livra to Lamptey for the same reason. Just put off by fixtures.

    2. How I met your Mata
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      McCarthy to foster and save some money? Or do you rotate goalkeepers?

      1. jackx13
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I do rotate the goalies, yeah. And Foster doesn't look like a good backup until we know how long he's out.

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Unless ramsdale is injured, he's not leaving that arsenal first team.

      2. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        This, I hate rotations, and you always get it wrong. Even this year I'm not even rotating, but I dropped ramsdale for foster when Watford played saints, and arsenal played Leicester away.
        Foster 2 points, ramsdale 10 points.
        Its not worth the pain, just pick one and lock it in!

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Another premium defender? If not interested then downgrade one of your GKs or changing your fodder Brownhill (4YCs) to Gilmour

      1. jackx13
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks! Seems like the general consensus is to downgrade a goalie... which feels a bit odd as well. Have never been a fan of the 1 goalie start but it might be worth getting the funds in true. Will consider. THanks!

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Don't be swayed, if you like 2 4.5s and its how you play, stick with it. It works for some, but I've never been a fan!

          1. jackx13
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks, yeah, will consider it for sure. I think a 4th premium defender i.e. Alonso for Livramento and benching Toney is the option I like the most atm.

  17. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    So sick of early transfers, price swings and people who can't wait for press conferences to be finished.

    1. zes
      • 8 Years

      why won't other players make decisions that benefit ME?

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        So selfish.

    2. Max City

      parts of the game 😆

  18. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Just to be sure, which one to bench:

    1. Gallagher (lee)
    2. Antonio (BHA)
    3. Jimenez (BUR)
    4. Raphinha (CRY)

    Thanks

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Difficult decision. Maybe Gallagher.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Probably Gallagher due to McCarthur injury and Milo affecting his FPL appeal

    Ramsdale Foster

    Salah Son Gallagher Mbueno Townsend
    Antonio Vardy Pukki
    Have 2FTs 0.6 itb
    Thinking of Townsend (form gone right down) to James of Leeds (goodish couple of fixtures). Drawback as it uses my 0.6 reserve fund.
    Yes No Something else. Thanks

    1. CAP
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Can you get Jota from Mbuemo and Townsend?

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Sadly not! Leaves me with 3.8! for a midfielder, Toyed with adding Gilmour and downgrading Pukki to Broja for -4, but seems ott.

    2. Warby84

      Leeds are dreadful would avoid for now till Bamford is back, even Raphinha will struggle

        Any alternative suggestions?

        1. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Obvious is Smith-Rowe, and play vs United..

          1. Tambling5
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks. Dismissed it as Utd clearly gonna play pressing game and counter attack from now on, and Arsenal a bit toothless, but Leeds as penetrative as a eunuch so may be a plan, but loses most of reserve funds too.

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

      Mbeumo to Jota and Antonio to Dennis

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks for this. I think I might go for this after this gameweek, as Dennis yellow flagged and Antonio good fixture, but looks great for the fixtures from 15 onwards.

  20. Karan14
    • 7 Years

    Who do you think is a bigger priority?

    A) Alonso
    B) Gundo

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think it's A

  21. Max City
    • 7 Years

    for 1st bench:

    A) Livramento
    B) Mbeumo

  23. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with Ronaldo?

    Finally ditch with Mr Press coming in or keep for Man U’s fixtures?

    I currently have zero Chels or Man City which is a concern so would like to try and crowbar James, Foden and maybe Lukaku in ideally

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Easy downgrade when it enables you to get the likes of James, Foden etc

    2. Kodap
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I personally, would keep him for the fixtures if I had him, i don't so it's easy for me to say move him on.

      Jesus was my choice of downgrade, well Vardy and then Jesus.. so maybe don't listen to me haha.

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks both. I think the cash created to upgrade say

        Mbeumo -> Foden
        Williams -> James makes it pretty appealing

        (Would also mean doing Kane to Lukaku for more funds but that could work too)

  24. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Rudiger or Alonso if you had to bring in one?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I went with Alonso but not much in it between the two

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, might go Alonso as well as he's a bit cheaper too. But Rudiger's nailedness is tempting.

  25. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Those without Trent now have to pay 8m…

  26. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Am I mental for considering captaining Son over Salah this week?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes based on Conte changing his role. Ideally would go Kane if gambling over Salah

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        What change in role?

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      NO

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I've considered all three of Salah, Son and Alonso quite seriously today. Might just end up sticking with Salah though.

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Brentford could give them a tough game, Everton are alot more vulnerable than Brentford..
