Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Blank Gameweek 30?

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are faced with a much smaller pool of viable captains than usual this weekend.

Blank Gameweek 30 features just four matches and only one team currently in the Premier League’s top five.

Unsurprisingly, Harry Kane (£12.4m) has emerged as the people’s favourite ahead of Sunday’s clash against West Ham United, but Son Heung-min (£10.9m) is an alternative option in the Tottenham Hotspur ranks, while Raul Jimenez (£7.6m) faces off against the division’s worst defence at Molineux.

First, we will assess the fallout of the captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Friday’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

As you can see, Harry Kane’s lead in the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll is a hugely significant one.

After producing eight attacking returns in the last four Gameweeks, the Spurs forward has attracted the support of 59.79% of votes.

Son Heung-min, meanwhile, sits in second, having been backed by 13.8% of FPL managers.

Raul Jimenez occupies third place with 4.6%, followed by Philippe Coutinho (£7.5m) and Bukayo Saka (£6.6m) on 4.18% and 3.14% respectively.

      Taking -4’s will only harm more, don’t see this being high scoring week.

        This. People taking -4 for players with tough fixtures after GW30 is madness

        1. It’s A Joke
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Agree with you both. Spurs and Arsenal games ain’t guarenrees

    2. It’s A Joke

      I could take a 20 point hit and get:

      Sa
      Tierney Coady
      Ramsey Coutinho Kulu Mart
      Jimenez Kane

      I don’t think it’s worth it, lol. Illl just ride it out.

    5. AD2110

      I’d at least get a couple spurs/arsenal players in

      Better than mine. It’s fine.

  3. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Laca Son -> Kane (C) Barnes -4

    Yay or nay?

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

      No. Laca and Son could easily outscore Kane and Barnes let alone taking account of the hit

    2. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No

    3. kempc23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Have you already got 11 starters? Transfers might be more effective replacing a guaranteed 0 points with something else.

      That said, I think that move has a good chance of paying off.

    Any thoughts on what i can/should do here?
    1FT, 0,4 ITB

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Robbo - Doherty - RAN
    Salah - Son - Kulu - Saka - Martinelli
    Jimenez

    Bench are players that doesn’t play

    1. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bench player to a starter and bench you LFC players

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

      No idea who the bench players are but get White. £4.5m, nailed for a team keeping a lot of clean sheets and cheap as chips. Massively underrated option

  5. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Broja to Toney worth it longer term?

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

      He's nailed which is better than Broja but 4 tough fixtures in next 6 wouldn't really inspire me. Boat has probably sailed

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No

    3. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think so. Toney's fixtures aren't great and no doubles either. More money on the bench as well if you need to bench him

    4. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I rather have spent the money on a good 5th midfielder

  6. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Can I expect more than 40 points?

    Raya
    Cash Coady White Amartey
    Son Raphinha Ramsey
    Kane Lacazette

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Can anyone?

    2. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Kane could get that by himself with the armband. I'd rather have triple spurs and triple arsenal but the team isn't bad

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

      If Captain returns, for sure

  7. Silecro

    A bit risky going triple Wolves def, but last week was horrid so I have some catching up to do...good to go on FH?

    Sa
    Saiss, Coady, Tierney
    Son, Kulu, Saka, Coutinho
    Kane(c), Toney, Laca

    Schmeichel, Thomas, Cash, Barnes

      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I like it...I considered the triple spurs front and the triple wolves def

      After last night I've got 2nd thoughts on Barnes and Leicester, erikson worth a punt?

      1. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        yeah, Barnes was on my initial team but not entirely sure he starts, and I cant afford myself that on free hit.
        Toney is the only one i would have from Brentford team

    4. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      FH is about taking risks. LOLF decent enough. Maybe Ramsdale jonny instead of sa Tierney?

    Was thinking of
    Digne Son Dennis to Armatey Kulu Kane -8?

    Long term in mind too??

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Amarty, no

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Don't do it. -8 too much.. amartey dropped soon and son could have a good week. You'll regret this imo

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

      Amartey is the opposite of long term with Leicester injuries easing. Dennis actually a good options with some nice Watford fixtures to come

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

    May do Duffy to Saiss - would you try and get anyone else for a hit?

    Ramsdale
    Doherty/(Saiss)
    Kulu/Saka/Martinelli/Ramsey
    Kane/Jim

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yeah that will probably be enough

    Morning All,

    Who is a better pick?

    A- Maddy
    B- Barnes

    Also, who is the best Wolves defender to get?

    1- Saiss
    2- Coady
    3- Jonny (kind of a differential)

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B. But has played a lot lately.

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

    What is the latest view on Doherty or Regulion? Both seem to be nailed, for this week at least..

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Doherty was poor against United but conte kept faith and he was much better against Brighton, nailed for now I would say

      Reg depends on injury status of sess, if still out then not any other options in that position so would assume nailed also

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Both nailed. But once Sess is back I expect him to take Regs place once again.

  13. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Mac allister, jota and Bowen > saka, martinelli and Barnes -8?

    Currently on 5 players otherwise (no fh)

  14. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which option:

    A) Broja to Gelhardt in 30, Tierney to James in 31.
    B) Weg to Gelhardt in 30, Davies to James in 31.

    Thanks

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Gelhart may not play

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Enabler. For James in 31. Even a 1 pointer will be a bonus

        1. tokara
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Then A for me, good luck

    2. Dog and Fox
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Non-issues with Broja's minutes. Weg is nailed at least.

        1. Dog and Fox
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Davies vs Tierney...

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

      Web doubles in 31 yes?

  15. Dog and Fox
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Salah -> Son then back after City?

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Do it

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      So no Salah vs Watford?

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

      So few remaining free transfers and you want to play Salah hokey cokey?

      1. Dog and Fox
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cant se Salah getting many mins against Watford, international duty 3 days before and city three times in a short period after that. So if im not going to give him the cap inn 31 or 32 and fh i 33?? Back for 34

  16. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which of these would you lose for Salah next week?

    A) Raphinha
    B) Kulusevski
    C) Saka
    D) Martinelli

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A. I am losing him for Barnes in 32.

    2. antis0cial

      A

  17. TopBinFC

    Hi all, trying to finalise my FH team as I'm away all day. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Sa
    Coady, Gabriel, Dier
    Son, Maddison, Coutinho, Martinelli, Fornals,
    Toney, Kane (c)

    Martinez, RAN, Ibenacho, Cash

    My main dilemmas are;

    1. Is Cash worth playing? I'm assuming he'll be up against Martinelli who could give him a run around
    2. Any other striker worth getting for a 4.3.3?
    3. Going Madison over barnes as he played as mins last night

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd probably favour Aston Villa defense over Arsenal.

      Or per Spurs and Wolves at the back is the sensible play?

  18. Fefguero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bring in this week;

    A) Tierney and Jiminez
    B) Laca and coady

    Cheers fam

    1. BERGKOP

      B easy

  19. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you choose between - Barnes or Maddison?
    Focus on short term with WC to play.

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison sure start

    2. antis0cial
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Barnes

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison

    4. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      As a Leicester fan I have no idea who to pick. With Ndidi injured I think Maddison starts more now. Barnes took a very heavy challenge late in the Rennes game… Flip a coin territory. Barnes is more nailed long term IMO. Maddison will almost certainly start vs Brentford though.

  20. antis0cial
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    G2g, anything worth a hit? Who are people captaining that haven't got Kane? Son despite form?

    Ramsdale
    Doherty Digne*
    Son Kulu Barnes Saka
    Watkins Toney

    TAA Robbo Cancelo Salah Broja

  21. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    What's your score prediction for Aston Villa v Arsenal?

    A home win or will Arsenal recover in time to perform well?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      1-0 Arsenal

    2. Chilli Heatwave

    What to do with this shambles?

    White
    Saka • Ramsey • Kulu
    Kane • Laca

    A) Dalot >> Davies -4

    B) Salah >> Maddison -4

    C) Both above for -8

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with this FT?

    A) Roll
    B) Lamptey -> Coady
    C) Another transfer. Who?

    Ramsdale Foster
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Tierney Lamptey
    Salah Coutinho Saka Kulu DLuiz
    Kane Watkins Broja

    I'm leaning towards just going ahead with what I have, rather than free hitting.

    Any suggestions?

  25. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Would you free hit this?

    Amartey,
    Coutinho, Son, Raph
    Jimenez, Antotnio

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Depends if you think Son is a decent Captain option this GW?

      1. Maddamotha
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        He's decent yes. I see lots of ppl here saying not to freehit, but isnt this the perfect time to do it?
        Or is the consensus its better to save for a double gw down the road?

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

      Probably not unless you have 2FT. Any way to get to Kane or to get Kulu in?

  26. Chilli Heatwave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If not using the FH this week when scarping together 8 players, when is better? Cheers for any advice as trying to decide

    1. IL Fantasista
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say GW33. A lot of confirmed doubles with potential to grow even more.

  27. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hmmmm… Maddison or Martinelli?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Prob not as it would be for a defender

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

      No. A few hits might pay off this week, but if you get players you then have to shift again it's probably not worth it

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

      No rolling FT with 9 starters

  29. Viper
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A. Digne -> Amartey. Let's me field 11 & also takes money off my bench (already wildcarded & bench boosted)
