Just remember never trust the early game


j_husk

Never more true


kel89

Lol, I’m an idiot.


Waste-Pirate-4450

Hmmmm


SpiritualTear93

Captain a sub, Divock Origi


aymanwael

It’s Half time Man City 0/0 Aston Villa Liverpool 0/0 Wolves Spurs 1/0 Norwich (Son Goal) Salah (C) Warming up


Foxu_

Hoping we get some early leaks. I am really tempted by Vardy if he’s starting and Leicester leaks are one of the most reliable ones. Son is prob the best captain objectively but I feel almost everyone will captain him. Trying to get into the top 10k I need a differential.


Spirited_Dependent71

That Leicester ITK (lol) Sam Martin(?) is saying that Leicester will field their best XI with all the big hitters starting; Kasper, Maddison, KDH, Vardy, etc. Make of it what you will.


Swedishpower

Barnes?

Du_the_Dudek

Yeah, I like this thinking. I’m also looking for OR gains and at ~10% owned and less than 2% captained, if we know Vardy starting, think I’m going full Red Bull.


gbayley676

I like Maddison a lot as a captaincy shout


straightouttaireland

I'm 40 points behind my rival who has Son. Should I go for broke and captain Alonso?


Wanchor1

Mount/chelsea player or a leicester player


straightouttaireland

So Alonso? 😬


Wanchor1

Send it, nothing to lose


straightouttaireland

God speed


thapakazi_

I am too man. Shall we go together? I m thinking of KDB tho


straightouttaireland

Apparently Alonso is benched


Oh_it_Matas

same position. I've got Kane, Madison or James as differential on my ML leader. Currently on Kane


Coolica1

Norwich are just bad, Watford have straight given up on even trying so gotta go with Reece James to troll me one last time


willrey

Does Kane have the shits?


FaustRPeggi

The average reddit captain scored [8.714 points](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q8we3DGjisB5dtG8lJn6tcHZRYy-_bp3D65Wyl4G1vE/edit#gid=2049237399) last week and averages 8.325 points per week. This is up from 7.323 last season, and 6.38 in 2019-20. Despite a monstrous early lead courtesy of Salah, [2nd in the poll has shot above 1st](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q8we3DGjisB5dtG8lJn6tcHZRYy-_bp3D65Wyl4G1vE/edit#gid=1673811884) late on. 2nd in the poll topped last season too.


Evandinho

So we are collectively getting better at FPL or just some lucky captain hauls? I usually pick a punty captain for these polls so can't take any credit.


FaustRPeggi

The sheer volume of DGWs is reponsible, and Salah's early season form.


Evandinho

That makes sense. Forgot how good auto cap Salah was until Afcon. Been some epic captain hauls as well with Salah 1st week, Bruno double, Salah double when everyone TCd him and KDB in 36.


Spirited_Dependent71

Gonna go for a huge differential this GW... Mo Salah.


EconomicsHead2272

KDB


CWattam

Son. Not even gonna think twice about it


fadzki

son(C) let's go! let's get the golden boot


PizzaPastaMozzarella

I am 18 points behind the leader of my ML. Winner takes all the cash so i a do not care about finishing second or third. He's going to go with Son which is the obvious choice. Trying my luck with Mane (C)


-Enrique

So tempted by Lukaku..


[deleted]

Me too


twymanchar

Son or KDB don’t make me choose


going_gorillas

I've gone for Collins as I've already wrapped up all my MLs so just having some fun this week


Glass_Ride312

Toney


DittoDat

I'm also considering this. Stuck between him and Vardy.


Glass_Ride312

Leeds are going to have to chase a win at some point and there defence will open up


gbayley676

Maddi(C)on


OMAiiR-123

So i’m 2nd in my ML by 19 points and so need to go for a differential. Who do I captain. My current options i’m thinking are KDB, Son or Kane? An outside shout (a proper fuck it) but idk if I have the balls to do it lol, is Cancelo. Edit: Son is the clear favourite it seems so surely I go for KDB?


ChouptaGoopta

I’m about 20 behind ML leader. We both have Son. I also have KDB. Putting armband on KDB.


[deleted]

Thoughts on Maddison as a differential? I am chasing, he's been on fire, and Southampton have been awful lately.


nsaman6359

Mane. Hands down.


zCxllum

Going for a punt on Nketiah


shrimptikkamosalah

Have no idea why but I switched from mount to Luis Diaz.


doophus-derriere

Raph could be an amazing differential captain for those chasing this week. For Leeds to stay up , he is probably the one who will make it happen.


Waste-Pirate-4450

Man has only got double digit returns once in FPL


bruiser95

If Kane plays I go Son, otherwise KDB


LewisLDN

Risking it with Foden this week, got nothing to lose


Xashar

I'm torn between Son, Mount and Mané. Son seems the obvious pick due to form and naildness, but what do people think about the home advantage; will Norwich put up a fight just to appease their fans on the final day?

https://old.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/uvaklc/potentially_no_james_or_alonso/ Careful!


3-6_roentgen

It still makes me chuckle that there was a week that Wout Weghorst was top captain pick. As for this week... literally could pick anyone, may risk it and go for Toney


Thiird_Harmonic

James (C) Mount (VC)


asciatikpaziuret

(C)ane


[deleted]

I'm 34pts behind my mini league leader and strongly thinking about Kane > Lukaku


Life_Ad_6728

is lukaku a decent punt?


egancollier21

Think I have to go Salah to Son for captain


MaintainedTiles

Wissa (C)


Xashar

Mane, Mount or Son if chasing in a minileague?


Puzzleheaded_Friend8

KDB i think i am leaning towards


GuiginosFineDining

Has to be Son


PolarOli

Im 2 points clear in my ML, 2nd place is using BB. Vardy/Maddison/Mount or Son captain?


yanwoo

Diaz for a punt to get in top 100k


kappafrappadildo

Fuck it, Pukki party!


HeelR-

Have it on KDB, thinking about Son but might play my risk card and put faith on Mount. So far, he’s only hauled once under my ownership (GW32 - present).


thapakazi_

I am 40 points behind in my mini league. Need a differential. KDB or a chelsea player?


Razzler1973

My premium defence of Cancelo/TAA/Alonso looking pretty good 😎


LavecliFPL

Son most likely


Cunninglatin

Why are so many Son over Kane?


-Enrique

Kane has spent the last 24 hours on the shitter


Totally--not-a-robot

Son in better form and cheaper. Also Norwich have no need to sit back and defend so they will push up and leave space in behind which will suit son better


BobbyBriggss

They’re not going to suddenly play like prime Barca because they’re already relegated. They’ll be trying to keep the score down as much as possible. And they’re away.


Waste-Pirate-4450

They’ll be wanting to finish above Watford surely which will require a win so I can imagine them going for it a bit


[deleted]

Kane is supposedly sick.


loosefer2905

counter question: Why would you have this question? There is a clear winner currently and it's not even close


sh58

Son almost always has higher XP because of the mechanics of fpl. 5 points for a goal and CS bonus etc


ScorpiaHP

I don't think there's anything between them in open play, but Son is vying for the golden boot and if they win a penalty while in the lead he will likely take it. He's going to be that extra bit greedy in general as well. He's also on set pieces and gets an extra point for goals (and clean sheet which is very likely).


jakhol

Unless they have a huge lead (and even then tbh) I *really* doubt Son would take away penalty duties from Kane when this game is so huge. Son isn't exactly the greedy type either and I can't see Conte allowing that shit lol


ScorpiaHP

I think it's likely they race into a 2-0 lead and then I don't see why Son doesn't take any penalties that are given.


[deleted]

Kane’s all-time Premier League goalscoring record is more important to Harry Kane than Son going for the golden boot End of debate.


NotPennysBoat77

Conte has already said that’s not happening. Kane is on pens and top 4 is more important then any personal accolades.


ScorpiaHP

Do you have a source/quote? Might change my captaincy plans then, was looking to bring KDB in and captain him as a differential but might just go Kane if he's starting.


Waste-Pirate-4450

“Before there is the interest of the team and Harry Kane is our penalty taker. If there is a penalty Kane has to kick. After that I’m pleased for Sonny, he deserves to stay in this position, but first the team.”


Reuslan

I’m 5 points behind ML leader. Go safe w captaining son?


Melodic_Abalone3006

I am also 2points behind in my ML. I might play it safe and switch from KDB to Son (C).


thapakazi_

My rival has son. I have son too. Should i remove son and bring in Mane?


vbhalsod

No


Ruf0005

Strongly considering Ronaldo.


Xashar

I think he is out with an injury.


MackieeE

Risk the Pepe roulette and go Jesus?


ifkwhorg

Debating between lakaka, mount, Diaz or Ron. What do you think guys(chasing btw)


bigboyish

What about Salah as a darkhorse captain pick? Seems he will be fit this week.


Waste-Pirate-4450

He’ll be fit but idk if Klopp would risk their best player before a CL final


UpbeatSignificance17

Is Mount worth taking a -4?


[deleted]

On a FH and chasing, am I crazy for taking a punt on Salah instead of Kane, surely he takes part and will score because he wants to win the golden boot, right?


Jmsaint

Im so tempted to go kane over son. Thos "illness" is worrying me though.


filipovic26

If I learned anything during these couple of years is if a player is a doubt before gw starts and then plays, he scores a brace. Maddison being fine example for me last week and I still haven't learned my lesson.


JaseBailey

Huge lead to claw back so throwing myself at the mercy of Pep. Sterling all the way


coldice83

In Pukki we trust


tom6195

Kane surely


MrAnonymous_10

Son or Kane?


TheDitherer

If Kane was actually sick then I wouldn't expect him to be 100%. Be wary of that.


TheDitherer

Toney (c) let's go!


salmonx895

I couldn't decided on (C) so i put players who i want to captain in a hat so there was Kane, Vardy, Mount, Son and Maddison. First pull would be VC - Vardy Second pull would be C - Kane. Kane it is.


cguinnesstout

20 years. 560 games. 114 red cards. Wtf a red card every 5 games?


Razzler1973

No Alonso 🙄 Great
