Captain Picks Fantasy Football Game-week 30 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16
Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Captain Picks for GW30! We are entering the part of the season where the difference between the newbies and the experienced becomes obvious, so if you all, like me, are looking to salvage some pride and climb up the rankings, this is the time to do it. Part of doing that is selecting the right captain, and I must admit, it was a bit more difficult writing this article than usual as half the teams don’t play this GW. On reflection though, it may be a vastly reduced game-week but the captain pool doesn’t suffer as a result, as there are still a good many exceptional candidates this week, so let’s get right to it.

Sergio Aguero (away vs Norwich)
[three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″]
[/three_fourth]The obvious choice for many would be Aguero for this round. He was the obvious choice last round as well, and rewarded his cappers with 2 goals, which could have been 3 had he converted the penalty. Now he’s coming up against a Norwich side that have tightened up a bit defensively lately, but still haven’t kept a clean sheet since GW20. While Aguero blanked in his 2 matches before last week’s brace against Aston Villa, he has scored 8 goals altogether in his last 7 matches. Clearly, he is on form and should haul a decent amount of points against relegation candidates Norwich, who sit last in the form table, having lost 5 of their last 6 matches. Expect Kun to be topping most Captain polls this week as many will just default to the tried and tested method when in doubt of #alwayscaptainkun.

Harry Kane (away vs Aston Villa)
[three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″]
[/three_fourth]If Aguero was the standout captain option last week because he was up against Villa’s defence, then Kane has to be one of the standout options this weekend as it’s his turn to go up against the same. Spurs were on a 6 match winning streak before losing to West Ham and drawing to Arsenal, and will surely look to rebound with a win against Villa. Kane may have blanked in 3 of his last 5 matches, but that shouldn’t matter much against a defence that has managed to concede 15 goals in their last 4 matches. This should be a walkover for Spurs, just as it was for City, and Kane should be expected to be among the goals. Villa really are at a low, in every sense of the word and an early Spurs goal has every chance of opening the floodgates for another thrashing.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (away vs Bournemouth)
[three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″]
[/three_fourth]If you’re looking for a differential this week, my recommendation would be Sigurdsson. The Icelander has scored more goals this season than any season before with 8 goals, and most importantly, 6 of those 8 goals have come in his last 10 matches. That being said, he comes up against a Bournemouth team that have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches. Furthermore, they have won 3 of their last 6, putting them 7th in the form table. Still, Sigurdsson can put in a performance against anyone, as he has proven by scoring against Manchester United and Everton, and coming off the bench to assist against Arsenal. While he is not as recommendable as the other options in this article, he represents a differential to all of them.

Riyad Mahrez & Jamie Vardy (home vs Newcastle)
[three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″]
[/three_fourth]This match really is a top vs bottom tie as 1st-placed Leicester welcome Newcastle, who sit 2nd last in the league. While Leicester have struggled a bit lately, drawing against West Bromwich and barely winning against Norwich & Watford, their struggles are nowhere near Newcastle’s struggles, who have lost 6 straight matches away. Regardless of their form, Leicester should be expected to win comfortably against this Newcastle side. Mahrez has registered 2 goals and 4 assists in his last 7 matches, while Vardy has 4 goals and 1 assist in just as many matches. Which one you want to give the armband to is much down to personal preference, but both players should be considered safe options for this round. Newcastle have conceded 12 goals in their last 5 matches, so both Mahrez and Vardy should be among the points this weekend.
That’s it for this week’s Captain Picks. Good luck!

After noon all, have 1ft, 1.2mill itb. Thinking Ward to Huth/Williams and benching Ozil/Payet/Bellerin. Sound ok or should i get rid of one of the benched players ?
Elle
Lose ward for either Huth or williams,
You’ll need those benched players over the next few weeks.
Cheers Biggy, thats my thoughts. :thumbup:
Any comments on my team. Made my free transfer already, Targett to Williams
It looks fine to me charl, good to go. Triple-up x3 is ballsy but potentially fantastic this week.
Not much options with all the blanks….lol
I have planned it that way hence no hits to field a team.
Lets hope for the best!!
evening all ,got 11 players playing this week but contemplating doing kompany for ward ,would this be a good move or should i hold it, i have 1ft and 3.2 itb, this is my team, cheers
forster
fuchs dier rangel
siggy mahrez silva alli
kane aguero vardy
rudd bellerin ward firminio
I think you’re best served rolling it over, although, i do see the urge to jump on City for these next few games. Well, the season remainder i suppose.
Hi guys any recommended changes I have 2ft 3.1itb and still have a wildcard to play. Ideally I want aguero in for ighalo but need 4.3 mil from somewhere to make the change and not sure who to downgrade whilst keeping a solid team.
Could take a hit and go smaling> huth Silva>Siggy ighalo>aguero
Rogueblood
Smalling to Huth I like.
Does Smalling -> Wolscheid give you enough?
Would leave me 2.6mil short
I took a hit went with Smalling> Morgan Ozil>Siggy and Ighalo>aguero hopefully it pays off
Kane is playing Villa. Villa are awful. Therefore Kane is captain. Easiest captain pick since Aguero last weekend 😉
Hmm and Aguero is better than Kane and City play Norwich who have conceded one goal less tgan Villa all season. This could easily go either way
Indeed. When it comes to atrocious defences, there’s really not much separating Villa, Newcastle, Sunderland and Norwich. All are pretty much equally dirt.
Aguero and Mahrez are good candidates playing Norwich and Newcastle
My current, and final (C) / (VC).
gunners
If only it were that easy. But if you think that way, then you stick with it.
I actually agree this week but I wouldn’t call it the “easiest captain pick”
1FT
I can afford to:
A) Ozil – Yaya or Silva
B) Payet – Yaya or Silva
C) Koscielny- ??????
D) Another move
Thanks
Payet to Silva I think. Just over Yaya
Silva definitely for me
Ripcurl
I like the idea of holding on to Payet and Ozil who is immense fantasy-wise and maybe would consider Koscielny to Kompany and doubling City.
