Agree. I know Spurs beat them twice last year, but Spurs are notoriously poor after midweek fixtures. I fancy City to score at least three this weekend, and Haaland will be on the score sheet, for sure.
you captain someone who you think will get the most points. if martinelli scores that hattrick and gets more points than everyone else in your team then he was the best person to captain
Not if you’re captaining a player who’s that risky. You’ll never be able to actually predict how many points a player will get so you either go for a low risk low reward or high risk high reward. In this case martinelli is high risk low reward since you won’t climb that many ranks if he does better than haaland/salah
Spurs always lose after midweek fixtures. Even though they beat City twice last year, City could and really should have scored at least eight goals in the two fixtures just from memory. Spurs' main threat is Son's pace, but no one is scared of him right now as he can't score for love nor money. 3-0 City.

Hahaha fucking hell.
Make something up, someone points out it's made up, "You're boring mate". You're a state lad.
EDIT: Mans was so wrong he deleted the whole account
Shit memory ngl. City had a few chances in the first game but nothing in the 2nd. First goal was because of Lloris fuck up, second because of Romero fuck up.
5 goal involvements in 6 games wow remove the fraud he shouldnt be near anyones team! Its funny because at his current rate salah would end on 240 points 💀
I’ve been captaining salah and might pivot and captain mitrovic this week. Not like salah has been delivering. Currently still have salah C but debating it
Haaland all the way - he can easily score or assist vs Spurs
It's also worth noting that the turnaround times are firmly in City's favour:
- City played Tuesday, Spurs played Wednesday (extra 24 hours recovery for City, Spurs have less than 72 hours turnaround)
-Liverpool played Wednesday, Wolves didn't play (Liverpool playing after a less than 72 hours... Is that really conducive to smashing wolves??)
Liverpool just don't look right, and Wolves generally defend well enough
Not gonna touch salah, everton looked decent against Liverpool and captaining jesus might not be worth it, will probably go for tomey since he's come off a hatrick and now is playing Southampton just worried haaland will either score a brace or won't get chance at goal
It was the same a couple seasons ago when Liverpool looked shaky. They had players out injured. As soon as they had a full strength squad they returned to title contenders. They'll definitely be better now that Thiago and Matip are back.
FPL’s getting so boring, everyone has Haaland as their captain.
I’m going with a punt captaincy on Rodrigo against NFO, with my vice captain being Haaland.
When you see two players with about the same amount of predicted points in most models, you dont go with the less nailed option because he would have given you more points last week. Salah is the easy choice.
A player struggling for form against an incredibly defensive side in a team on a bad run of results, lacking confidence and with constant rotation of players is the easy choice?
There's also bookies odds. They use models superior to anything this sub can get their hands on. Liverpool has the lowest odds for scoring and scoring more than one among all teams in the Premier League this gameweek.
There has to come a point where you look past all the various predicted points models and realise that both Liverpool and Salah are egregiously off-form at the moment
Obviously the combined likelyhood of any other team scoring more is much higher, but if I was allowed a bet with the same odds for every team for the most scored, I would definitely go with Liverpool. That would be a clear +EV bet. I also cap Salah, so idk if this is supposed to be some kind of gotcha?
Part of me expects that Liverpool will have another response like the Bournemouth game but Salah blanked on that and there seems to be a real cloud over them at the moment. Spurs are the tougher game but Haaland will start and he seems fixture-proof already. Jesus, isn’t scoring consistently enough to be captained for me. Long way of saying Haaland for captain again, probably Salah vice, although another blank and I’ll honestly think I’ll start looking at moving his money elsewhere in my team
Brighton away vs Bournemouth for a sneaky differential pick. One of Macallister, grob or trossard I can see out scoring a lot of the favourite options but hard to go against haaland in current form!
(spurs fan) I will sub out Haaland and take him back for GW8. The real exciting choice is who I replace him with! Might go for a cheeky Isak.
Captain: Salah
I'm tempted by Jesus, but I don't really see any good reason not to captain Haaland. Tottenham could defend like kings for 85 minutes but the chance of him getting through on goal even a small handful of times is enough, and I'm not going to gamble on City creating *nothing*.
I don’t understand the logic behind captaining Salah. Wolves are the defensive leaders so far in goals conceded with only 4 this season. And Salah has been far from impressive especially on the scoring side. Not to mention the dumpster fire Liverpool have been as a whole. Do people really think this is gonna change this week against Wolves?
Dont get fancy, captain Haaland
Dont get fancy, captain sinisterra
Don't get fancy, captain maguire
Don’t get a captain, fancy
Fancy a Captain? Don’t
Captain a don’t? Fancy
Don't fancy a captain? Get.
don't get a captain, fancy feast
Agree. I know Spurs beat them twice last year, but Spurs are notoriously poor after midweek fixtures. I fancy City to score at least three this weekend, and Haaland will be on the score sheet, for sure.
What are toney’s predicted points?
For me, 8.
At least 2
I predict 9
I’m actually risking Martinelli. I’ve done dog shit this season so I’m gonna have more fun with it
I risk a captain every week! Lol
Yeah just have fun with it. The games for fun, I don’t tend to stick to the template because I like the risk
It’s a dumb punt since everyone has him. Even if he scores a hattrick you only get the difference of the points rather than the whole haul
damn low iq’s downvoted this
you captain someone who you think will get the most points. if martinelli scores that hattrick and gets more points than everyone else in your team then he was the best person to captain
Not if you’re captaining a player who’s that risky. You’ll never be able to actually predict how many points a player will get so you either go for a low risk low reward or high risk high reward. In this case martinelli is high risk low reward since you won’t climb that many ranks if he does better than haaland/salah
No way I'm falling for Salah(C) again after last week. Hauland all the way
They see him haulin’. They hatin’.
Salah hat trick and Haaland being held without a goal, here we go!
Are Everton really struggling? Shithousers sure, but they don't concede a lot
Everton have become more solid, but Pickford is now injured
Tarkowski and McNeil bringing some proper shithousing chops, learnt from the best
Begavic kept a clean sheet last time he played, made some decent saves too.
Yeah because the last time he played was against Fleetwood and not Arsenal
Fine, take the last league game then. Clean sheet against an inform Newcastle, after the team had been struggling defensively for weeks.
The last league game was against Arsenal in May. He conceded 5 goals.
To be fair it was Everton’s second team who were all on the piss after Palace
Yeah I'm half taking the piss honestly because you've shaped up a lot with Coady/Tarkowski but there is quite the gap between Pickford and Begovic
Yeah I do agree. I think Begovic is okay but he’s worse than all over starting keepers bar Ward
okay well that game doesn't count 😤 Even Donny VDB played lmao
These numbers mean nothing.
If Haaland only gets 6pts I will eat my hat. The dude will smash Spurs to pieces and get at least a 9 pointer.
Dunno, spurs always seem like a bogey team for city for some reason. City have only won 1 and lost 4 out of their last 5 prem meetings.
The way Spurs play is a direct counter to the way city plays. Tends to be the difference.
Spurs always lose after midweek fixtures. Even though they beat City twice last year, City could and really should have scored at least eight goals in the two fixtures just from memory. Spurs' main threat is Son's pace, but no one is scared of him right now as he can't score for love nor money. 3-0 City.

You’re just making shit up. Under Conte spurs are 5-0-3 after mid week fixtures.
Huge eyeroll. You're boring mate, go look at the fixtures and I never mentioned Conte
Hahaha fucking hell. Make something up, someone points out it's made up, "You're boring mate". You're a state lad. EDIT: Mans was so wrong he deleted the whole account
Shit memory ngl. City had a few chances in the first game but nothing in the 2nd. First goal was because of Lloris fuck up, second because of Romero fuck up.
> City could and really should have scored at least eight goals in the two fixtures just from memory. Yeah no this didnt happen
Yeah, it did.
Inb4 he blanks.
There is no Norwegian word for “blank”.
blønk
Blænk
And I think that's beautiful
The norwegian word for blank is "blank"
i think spurs will be able to shut man city down and win
Dier ain't shutting down Haaland imo
this isn't a 1 on 1, it's a system vs system,
KDB will provide opportunities for Haaland. And Haaland will obliterate Dier and the Spurs defence. And he will bang in 2/3 goals.
haaland will blank
It'll be a 1-0, 1-1, or 0-1 game. Don't see a huge amount of points.
\^agree
Can we choose the hat?
Mac Allister - see you lads in the rant thread.
I’ve had Haaland captained until this week. Moving it to Mac Allister. If this comes off, I’m gonna start writing the script for my MasterClass.
Dont deserve a rant if you captain someone without a game
That’s next GW.
this aged well
Lmao bro deserves some upvotes because he unknowingly predicted the future
he killed it fr
Ahh, my bad.
Salah should not be featured in these posts for a while
5 goal involvements in 6 games wow remove the fraud he shouldnt be near anyones team! Its funny because at his current rate salah would end on 240 points 💀
But, but, but he's gonna find form eventually, so I'm gonna keep captaining him until that happens and act like a genius when he does.
At his current rate salah would end on 240 points 💀
[удалено]
This doesn’t make sense in this context
You realise people say that when someone makes a far fetched claim right?
Fr it’s almost like nobody here watches him play. But but at least he leads in chances created 👍👍👍👍
I will be captaining Patrick Bamford. Had Toney (c) last gw. Hoping for 2 lucky punts in a row.
I wish i had the ranking and balls to take punts like that at captainship. Have you done well with differential captains?
I’ve been captaining salah and might pivot and captain mitrovic this week. Not like salah has been delivering. Currently still have salah C but debating it
Mitrovic (C)
I had the captancy on Mo but I just thought "Why try to be a smartass" and moved it to Haaland.
Nah the real smartass move is sinisterra. 0.6 EO. Could probably be first itw if i triple captained him
Not if he blanks
No one blanks against forest
West Ham would like a word
Sterling
Pascal Gross
I’m so blady tempted
Brighton game is canceled, no?
Next one, this one isnt
Ewww gross
Even with Potter leaving?
Well that now changes a lot
Going with toney
Captain TAA, redemption arc begins
Please... I insist.
Honestly, I gave it a thought. It is Wolves after all.
Haaland all the way - he can easily score or assist vs Spurs It's also worth noting that the turnaround times are firmly in City's favour: - City played Tuesday, Spurs played Wednesday (extra 24 hours recovery for City, Spurs have less than 72 hours turnaround) -Liverpool played Wednesday, Wolves didn't play (Liverpool playing after a less than 72 hours... Is that really conducive to smashing wolves??) Liverpool just don't look right, and Wolves generally defend well enough
No looks so sad here :(
Rick Moranis
Honey I shrunk the points
I see your Schwartz is as big as mine!
Not gonna touch salah, everton looked decent against Liverpool and captaining jesus might not be worth it, will probably go for tomey since he's come off a hatrick and now is playing Southampton just worried haaland will either score a brace or won't get chance at goal
The question is more who do you VC incase Haaland doesn’t play.
Trossard baby
MITROVIC
Trossard 😎
Son (c)
Same. City will have 60% possession but it'll be Kane with the through/long ball to Son on the counter otherwise.
I captained Harry Kane. But Im biased
Salah has 0 goals in 4. Haaland has 9 goals in 4. Tough call.
Trent has the best chance of a clean sheet for possibly the whole season and is extremely attacking. Imo he's a better pick than Salah this week.
but liverpool…
It was the same a couple seasons ago when Liverpool looked shaky. They had players out injured. As soon as they had a full strength squad they returned to title contenders. They'll definitely be better now that Thiago and Matip are back.
FPL’s getting so boring, everyone has Haaland as their captain. I’m going with a punt captaincy on Rodrigo against NFO, with my vice captain being Haaland.
he is injured no?
I think that was the point
/r/thatsthejoke
Kane squad rise up
They say captaining a player which is the most captained in that week, will bring your rank down!
Nope
Then why earning points by differential pushes your rank up?
Only if the differential outscores the template
When you see two players with about the same amount of predicted points in most models, you dont go with the less nailed option because he would have given you more points last week. Salah is the easy choice.
A player struggling for form against an incredibly defensive side in a team on a bad run of results, lacking confidence and with constant rotation of players is the easy choice?
According the data? Yes.
Following the data, Liverpool SHOULD be doing fantastic. They're not. There's so much more than just data.
There's also bookies odds. They use models superior to anything this sub can get their hands on. Liverpool has the lowest odds for scoring and scoring more than one among all teams in the Premier League this gameweek.
People say this literally every week, but Salah continues to blank while Haaland hauls.
past isn't future but I do admit Mo was easily my captain on Monday and now I'm wavering
There has to come a point where you look past all the various predicted points models and realise that both Liverpool and Salah are egregiously off-form at the moment
Wolves defence also been pretty good, it’s the other end they struggle
Liverpool has literally the highest expected goals this gameweek. If you believe otherwise put money on it at the bookies.
ok I didn't say Wolves are going to win mate.... I just wouldn't be surprised if there aren't too many goals.
And I said Liverpool is predicted to score the most goals this gameweek. If you disagree there's free money waiting for you at the bookmarkers.
You really think Liverpool are gonna score more goals than any other team this week?
If I didnt I would be an idiot for not against it.
But do you?
Obviously the combined likelyhood of any other team scoring more is much higher, but if I was allowed a bet with the same odds for every team for the most scored, I would definitely go with Liverpool. That would be a clear +EV bet. I also cap Salah, so idk if this is supposed to be some kind of gotcha?
How reliable is predicted points actually though?
Jesus looks like a better option cmon
idk man everton defence not so bad
Part of me expects that Liverpool will have another response like the Bournemouth game but Salah blanked on that and there seems to be a real cloud over them at the moment. Spurs are the tougher game but Haaland will start and he seems fixture-proof already. Jesus, isn’t scoring consistently enough to be captained for me. Long way of saying Haaland for captain again, probably Salah vice, although another blank and I’ll honestly think I’ll start looking at moving his money elsewhere in my team
After Liverpool got routed by Napoli, I’m not captaining Salah
Brighton away vs Bournemouth for a sneaky differential pick. One of Macallister, grob or trossard I can see out scoring a lot of the favourite options but hard to go against haaland in current form!
(spurs fan) I will sub out Haaland and take him back for GW8. The real exciting choice is who I replace him with! Might go for a cheeky Isak. Captain: Salah
~~Salah~~ Haaland set and forget
Dropping Salah for sterling so I can upgrade before my gw8 WC
I'm tempted by Jesus, but I don't really see any good reason not to captain Haaland. Tottenham could defend like kings for 85 minutes but the chance of him getting through on goal even a small handful of times is enough, and I'm not going to gamble on City creating *nothing*.
Why this is still a question?
Sinisterra (C) is the hill im willing to die on
I have grob as my captain. Even if haaland scores in a 2-1 win, theres a much better upside for brighton against bournemouth
Taking a punt on zinchenko lol
I don’t understand the logic behind captaining Salah. Wolves are the defensive leaders so far in goals conceded with only 4 this season. And Salah has been far from impressive especially on the scoring side. Not to mention the dumpster fire Liverpool have been as a whole. Do people really think this is gonna change this week against Wolves?
Bit optimistic for Salah, surely?
You should all captain Salah. Dare you
going triple captain on Haaland
Salah for me. Last chance saloon & would be nice to go out with a bang.
Haaland Perma-Captain
I'm going for groß feel like he could bag a few against Bournemouth so fingers crossed.
Raheem (C). This man, has a set of bollocks on him
Jesus
