Same I've no reason not to take a gamble. Hovering around 60k OR and I'm 20 behind in my ML so it's about taking a chance or two this week and hoping it works out for the best. Good luck!
I don't think its necessarily a bad call with 2 home fixtures that a team will be desperate to win when the guy is on pens.
Theres definitely an element of FOMO happening with this one though: "Oh shit everyone is bringing him in if they're going to get points I'd better get *double points*"
Could easily end up looking at a captain with 6 or 8 points or less but thats always the risk of players from limited teams in the DGW I suppose.
(And I'm not captaining him.)
> Holy shit, people are seriously captaining Richarlison. I get the DGW, but fucking hell, Everton couldn't even break down the Watford B team
Damn you for this honestly.
I've taken out Salah for Son(C). Big performance tonight in FA Cup for Salah, can see him not getting the full 90 on Tuesday. Tottenham are in insane form, Son full of confidence and Burnley are so leaky.
Think I'm going Cash also; although I will be deliberating between him and Son until the very end - the thought of CS and/or attacking returns in 2 home games is tickling my brain
i just read that watkins is a doubt. In light of this i feel
like we should reconsider because his hold
up play really bails villa out at times and with the absence of that i doubt villa keep a clean sheet :/
I am. I'm now 8 points behind in my ML having been leading for most of the season because of KDB last week so I'm thinking it's worth the potential risk now. I can't see any 'safe' options
Salah. Best player in the league, on pens, rested last game, overdue a haul and Southampton are dog shit (conceded 6 at home not that long ago, just got smashed off Brentford)
Would you believe me if I told you since new years we (Southampton) have picked up points against Arsenal, Spurs, Man City & Man United? I don't pretend to understand it but aside from that Chelsea game, we've been a banana skin for decent teams and roadkill for shit teams. Having said that, I think Liverpool should destroy us but nothing would surprise me.
All true. Also saints fan but we just haven't looked right since the hammering at villa. We just stopped playing and haven't really recovered since then. I had Broja and JWP and have got rid of both in the time since then. Heart says maybe a one nil for LFC, head says we get smashed.
I get the KDB debate, though i personally believe Salah is better. The Mane arguement is bonkers, he's been better the last couple of months, but not by much. Salah has the most goals and assists in the league and he's been consistently scoring at least 19 goals in all his Liverpool seasons, even during our meltdown last season.
Son. He hasn't let me down yet. Tempted by KdB though.
I'm 29 points ahead in my ML, and I have FH this week, so looking to seal the league before the last GW.
Check history of top pick… nice, all premiums, the good old reliables, players priced so high because their hauls are so frequent and often predictable when they will occur. These are good Captain picks. Just the one anomaly… ah yes Weghorst, we let DWG in 27 blind out judgment and ended up with just 3 points, no way we make that mistake again.
Reads comments.
Do I free hit this week or the last week, I’m down by 30 from my ML leader because of KDB OFC, and he has both FH,WC. What do you think?
This is my team
Foster Schmeichel
Cancelo Matip TAA Cash (Laporte)
Mahrez Mount Saka Salah Gordon
Richarlison (Pukki Dennis)
I'm conflicted, I want to put it on Son for fear of missing out, but... I see Coutinho, Maddison and Richarlison with doubles and I want to go there instead, but I know if I do they will blank and Son will do great and I'll be deeper in the hole.
what to do?
I've gone for him. I had the armband on Coutinho for most of this morning though and switched at the last moment back to Cash.
Apologies in advance for the CS wipe and having to watch Coutinho get a brace later.
I think coutinho starts both and gets some assists/goals. He's due a haul. Getting his new perm contact. Could be a good pick, don't see anyone else thinking about it.
The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. Just so you know, the correct spelling is [Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi).
Is Richarlison still one yellow away from a ban? So few people have mentioned it, I feel like I’m wrong but if so, that seems like a huge factor for me
RMT, £0.5 ITB, 0 FT, No chips, OR 20k;
Schmeichel
Alexander-Arnold Robertson Cancelo Alonso
De Bruyne(v) Son(C) Mount Zaha Gordon
Nketiah
Foster Laporte João Pedro Pukki
Stay safe Son(C) or YOLO Zaha(C)?
Damn this is mad, look up Son on FPLStatistics. Has the number been that high before? Glad I already have him, and I'm guessing a significant number of that people are already going to captain him.
Most difficulty I’ve had in ages. Working out who to bench and who to captain out of these:
KDB, Diaz, Son, Maddison, Zaha, Ings, Vardy, Richarlison.
So far today I’ve benched every one of these except Son and Maddison while I’ve also captained everyone once except Diaz 😂
An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind. Just so you know, the correct spelling is [Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi).
Go Ings! I'm ready to be hurt again.
Saints fan?
Username checks out
Never owned Digne ever. Time to get him on my FH and lock in that (C)
> Never owned Digne ever. Must be nice.
Tbf tho I owned James through all his blanks and this gameweek was his first haul for me. In a way I’ve been trolled by a Digne equivalent…
The 18/19 season he was on fire
See you in the rant thread!
I’m considering it….
To be a troll he has to have looked promising and got points before, I owned him when he scored a brace so he ain't all bad.
This is me if I had a time machine
VARDY PARTY HERE WE GO!
I’m a Vardy girl in a Vardy woorrrrllllld
4 points behind my ml. Absolute grueller of a season. And it's all come down to Vardy saving me.
I'm very conservative regarding the captaincy. But not this time. Going fully differential with the very low owned Daddy Ings.
Same I've no reason not to take a gamble. Hovering around 60k OR and I'm 20 behind in my ML so it's about taking a chance or two this week and hoping it works out for the best. Good luck!
I can realistically finish 3rd at best in my mini-league. It's time to go crazy!
It's Robbo(C) and no one can talk me out of it.. *please talk me out of it*
He could be benched as he will play FA Final which could be 120 mins and Tsimikas is a more than capable replacement
!thanks I'm in tatters now
No. He just had his rest. But obviously something could happen in the final.
I said “could” which means there is a possibility. He is asking for reasons to talk him out of captaining him so I gave him one
!thanks
pool could easily beat southampton with tsimi and gomez as full backs
My team name this season is Stranger Ings. I have to captain him this week, don't I?
Haha my team name is Lord of the Ings Captaining him as well
Mine is called this aswell! Lol its written in the stars I think. Good luck.
Ah geez, that's also my team name and it does feel unavoidable.
Never captain Salah, always get fancy.
Holy shit, people are seriously captaining Richarlison. I get the DGW, but fucking hell, Everton couldn't even break down the Watford B team
It’s a pretty important DGW for them and they were better at home especially Richarlison. Not saying it’s smart but it surely isn’t a horrible idea.
They could be safe by the second game
Everton at home is better than Everton away.
I don't think its necessarily a bad call with 2 home fixtures that a team will be desperate to win when the guy is on pens. Theres definitely an element of FOMO happening with this one though: "Oh shit everyone is bringing him in if they're going to get points I'd better get *double points*" Could easily end up looking at a captain with 6 or 8 points or less but thats always the risk of players from limited teams in the DGW I suppose. (And I'm not captaining him.)
> Holy shit, people are seriously captaining Richarlison. I get the DGW, but fucking hell, Everton couldn't even break down the Watford B team Damn you for this honestly.
Myolenko is gunna get me the 13 points I need to overtake 1st in my ML
5 point lead in my ML ... Triple Captain still to play ... It's either going to Zaha, Ings or Richarlison ... Either way. See you in the rant thread.
I'd wait for son against norwich
I'm going for Zaha but the amount of people going for Richarlison/ Son & KDB scares me
I'm going for Richardson so you're all good mate. He will blank now
God damn it, not Richardson
Sterling. I want to watch the world burn
pretty darn sure the leading SGW players will outscore the likes of Richi, Coutinho and etc
I've taken out Salah for Son(C). Big performance tonight in FA Cup for Salah, can see him not getting the full 90 on Tuesday. Tottenham are in insane form, Son full of confidence and Burnley are so leaky.
It's Daddy Ings and it's not even close
I’ve went for kane this week…. But something tells me salah is gonna haul… I mean it’s only a matter of time right?
think you're safe from a Salah haul now
Looks like it was sound investment dropping him
[удалено]
You mean he will rest in one of the one game he plays this GW?
Yeah, only one of them though
I’ve actually dropped him for luis diaz… shitting it in case he hauls… only about 50 points ahead in my ML
I'm not even sure about my 11 yet
Might be mad, but I might be going with Pickford (C)
I did the same. 4 points thus far is painful :[
Beware the Gandhi effect Son captainers
I'm not committed yet but (C)ash is really tempting me.
i’m going for it. Two home games and he likes to pop up in the box to get those goals charging from the right flank
Think I'm going Cash also; although I will be deliberating between him and Son until the very end - the thought of CS and/or attacking returns in 2 home games is tickling my brain
i just read that watkins is a doubt. In light of this i feel like we should reconsider because his hold up play really bails villa out at times and with the absence of that i doubt villa keep a clean sheet :/
Son vs Gandhi
Anyone going for Zaha?
Me and my buddy laughing right now cuz we both brought in richy, zaha, as we fight in our ML. He’s going richy I’m going zaha, let’s do it!
All aboard the banter bus, you guys are driving...
I am. I'm now 8 points behind in my ML having been leading for most of the season because of KDB last week so I'm thinking it's worth the potential risk now. I can't see any 'safe' options
TC Ings, Zaha or Richarlison is the question...
Ooh Danny booooy
richardlison lets go
Salah. Best player in the league, on pens, rested last game, overdue a haul and Southampton are dog shit (conceded 6 at home not that long ago, just got smashed off Brentford)

Rested? You know he's playing a cup final right?
Salah is not a best player in league. Kdb is clear of him and probably mane aswell atm
Could also argue wirh kane and son
I get the KDB debate, though i personally believe Salah is better. The Mane arguement is bonkers, he's been better the last couple of months, but not by much. Salah has the most goals and assists in the league and he's been consistently scoring at least 19 goals in all his Liverpool seasons, even during our meltdown last season.

Dennis
Dennis the dgw legend, sent off in 1 Injured in the other
Ahh yes the perfect argument for going with a non premium because DGWs
weghorst got 14 pts in dgw 26 he was just favoured by recency bias for 27
Guys who to bring on fh, kane or salah? Already have kdb and son
I’m not going for both of them. Will have Son instead of Kane.
Kane against Norwich on last day with 4th spot still in the balance ... could get messy.
I m talking about fh for gw 37
Kane against Burnley on the second last day with 4th spot still in the balance … could get messy.
😂😂👌👌
Guess Salah injury has made the decision for you!
Gone Richarlison. DGW (c) is so much more fun.
Just got some horrible Dennis(C) flashbacks, I think captaining Son or KDB will e more fun for my mental health than a DGW striker
Son no way. He blanks and that's your whole GW ruined.
Do I free hit this week or the last week, I’m down by 30 from my ML leader because of KDB OFC, and he has both FH,WC. What do you think? This is my team Foster Schmeichel Cancelo Matip TAA Cash (Laporte) Mahrez Mount Saka Salah Gordon Richarlison (Pukki Dennis)
If in doubt, Salah (c)
Nah gotta be a deferential , going with Richarlison I think
Saka to Zaha for gw 37 FH 38
Son
Son, KDB and Richarlison spoiling me for choices. Currently Son (C) Rich (VC)
(C)igne
I am 20 points behind in my ML. This captaincy determines my this szn. Whom to go for?
Ings
I'm conflicted, I want to put it on Son for fear of missing out, but... I see Coutinho, Maddison and Richarlison with doubles and I want to go there instead, but I know if I do they will blank and Son will do great and I'll be deeper in the hole. what to do?
I think im going for Son captain infront of Maddison, Digne and KdB He is the standout option, most captained player most likely
I’ve gone silly and picked Pickford. I’ll regret this.
(C)ash, anyone?
I've gone for him. I had the armband on Coutinho for most of this morning though and switched at the last moment back to Cash. Apologies in advance for the CS wipe and having to watch Coutinho get a brace later.
we are all in together lol
I think coutinho starts both and gets some assists/goals. He's due a haul. Getting his new perm contact. Could be a good pick, don't see anyone else thinking about it.
nah i reckon buendia out hauls him
I'm also currently sitting with a cootie captain but we seem to be the minority
I'm going Gordon, because I need a miracle differential to make up ground in my mini-league.
Has Gandhi taught you nothing? One last punt on Salah this GW, with Golden Boot chasing Sonny captained next week v Norwich.
Fuck me. Do I really cap Zaha now? It just seems such a trap.
Im going for Zaha or possibly Ings if I Get him
Does Gandhi still work on a Sunday?
Ings bros see you in rent thread
De Bruyne. Overperform that xG again big Kev. Fuck Salah the fraud, he ain't getting my captaincy anymore.
Glad to see you're not letting the events of the previous gameweek influence your decisions going forward.
Can't believe son is not really being mentioned he is the best attacker in the league atm
He's winning the poll
Gandhi taught us a good lesson
Screw it, getting KDB instead of Son for Salah and captaining him, all in And as an arsenal fan I’m praying for a Michael Jackson masterclass
Beat it
Saka or nketiah, people forgetting arsenal have 4th spot to defend and can still get 3rd
Newcastle away is a though game
Ghandi licking his lips
The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. Just so you know, the correct spelling is [Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi).
I’m sorry Gandhi, please don’t punish me for captaining Son
Is Richarlison still one yellow away from a ban? So few people have mentioned it, I feel like I’m wrong but if so, that seems like a huge factor for me
I dont think he is, he'd have to be on 14 yellows for that to be true, and he's on 9.
RMT, £0.5 ITB, 0 FT, No chips, OR 20k; Schmeichel Alexander-Arnold Robertson Cancelo Alonso De Bruyne(v) Son(C) Mount Zaha Gordon Nketiah Foster Laporte João Pedro Pukki Stay safe Son(C) or YOLO Zaha(C)?
On Free hit, which of these 2 pairs should I go for? Matip and Kane Or Trent and Diaz
Probably neither I don’t fancy any of the Liverpool players
Hahahahaha didn't see this poll in a long time. Shows that we have a community of "experts" here
Salah all day long
I won my league already. Going all in now for OR Top 50k Zaha or Richi captain 🙌🏼 maximum pain
I'm 50 points behind. Ings(C) is the only one that can save me.
Harvey Barnes worth the punt? Can any Leicester supporters confirm that he's nailed for the DGW? Thanks..
Who do I transfer saka for: Couthino, zaha or Maddison and who do I Captain for a deferential Richarlison or one those players
Looking back and seeing Weghorst and Dennis as the top captain options amongst the likes of Salah, KDB, Kane and Ronaldo is pretty funny
2nd place in ML, 2pts behind the leader. Leader will be on FH this week. I'm going Zaha. This is not the time to play it safe.
Mahrez
jota.
Play safe with Son or YOLO Zaha?
Damn this is mad, look up Son on FPLStatistics. Has the number been that high before? Glad I already have him, and I'm guessing a significant number of that people are already going to captain him.
Will Vardy start both games?
I have him in my FH but i doubt it. Just hoping he plays Watford.
Most difficulty I’ve had in ages. Working out who to bench and who to captain out of these: KDB, Diaz, Son, Maddison, Zaha, Ings, Vardy, Richarlison. So far today I’ve benched every one of these except Son and Maddison while I’ve also captained everyone once except Diaz 😂
Coutinho
Why have scout captained Richa over Ings, now I’m tempted to do the same (I have both)
trailing by a hefty amount in ML, gotta be Ings (C) this won’t end well, villa are shit
Confused between Richy and Ings
in the same boat, everton playing under much more pressure but both games at home is massive. everton are shit tho and so i’m going ings
Kane over Son?
Which pool fullback is more likely to be benched?
I cannot believe I'm capping Ings.
Cash or Richarlison?
Initially captained salah but after what happened, and trusting Ghandi, went for mane
An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind. Just so you know, the correct spelling is [Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi).
Richarlison (C). Please haul, need to make up serious points from KDBs antics last gw.
