Fantasy Football Captain Picks

Weekend Watch – Fantasy Football Transfer Tips GW21 Arsenal and Newcastle continue to deliver, while Brighton and Brentford must come into your thoughts following a strong run since the resumption of the Premier League. Class is permanent, but form can depend on personnel, so I’d look to cash in as injuries and suspensions begin to mount. The Good Brighton Roberto De Zerbi cast away any doubts that a change in management would have a detrimental effect on the team. The Brighton board have delivered a lesson in maintaining a footballing philosophy whilst transitioning between managers. The changeover appears seamless, and the Seagulls’ upward trend continues. Brighton assets appeal on many levels, and now their big draw comes from a particularly good run of fixtures, the t...[Read More]

FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 26 We’ve been lucky recently that there hasn’t been an obvious captaincy option. So the boredom of consistently placing the armband on Erling Haaland has eased due to some excellent differential options coming to the fore. Bukayo Saka The Gunners have a dream fixture at home to poor travellers Bournemouth, who have managed just eight points on the road all season. Arsenal should make light work of the Cherries’ defence that has conceded 32 times in just twelve matches away from The Vitality. And for that reason, Bukayo Saka is my favourite captaincy option for a second consecutive week. Even though performances have improved, Bournemouth are still allowing too many goals, joint second highest since the restart (16) with 15.7 xG conceded. You...[Read More]

FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 28 This blank game week leaves six sides without a fixture, and many FPL managers wonder what to do with their teams. There is also great debate over who to captain, and for a good reason. The choices may be limited, but there are several contenders for the armband. Bukayo Saka The Arsenal star is one of my top FPL Captain Picks as he plays a Crystal Palace side that is yet to win since the restart (at the time of writing). The Eagles have had relegation-level data, while their hosts do not look like they will relinquish the top spot anytime soon. The Gunners were dominant at Craven Cottage on Saturday in what initially looked like a tricky fixture against their London rivals. Palace have been nowhere near the level of Fulham this season, and I’m expect...[Read More]

FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 36 We’ve reached the penultimate double game week of the campaign, but with minimal appeal, I’d suggest holding off with your Fantasy Football Transfers and targeting Round 37, as there will be more points on offer. That said, there are still some worthy considerations coming up, but none are without risk.

FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 35 This is the time for tough decisions – whether to stick with the template and look to consolidate or go rogue and hope your gamble pays off… Whichever you decide, remember FPL is only a game, and while you may lose the battle this game week, you can still win the war.

FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 32 With some of FPL’s biggest hitters sitting it out this weekend, the captaincy discussion feels somewhat nostalgic, with Mo Salah likely to be the most backed. Fixture and form come together for this pick, but others are worthy of consideration.

FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 31 I’m trying, really trying, not to be that guy this week, Mr Obvious, but Top versus Bottom on the form table, Manchester City, and therefore Haaland, shouldn’t be far away from any managers FPL Captain Picks.

FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 29 This double-game week offers an array of captaincy options, but I believe a lot of hype around certain players or fixtures is misplaced and shouldn’t be considered. In addition, this round of FPL tips is proving to be even more difficult as some of the better assets are struggling for fitness, or they won’t return from international duty until late. FPL GW29 Captain Picks: Solly March, Kaoru Mitoma or Alexis Mac Allister Marcus Rashford or Bruno Fernandes James Maddison Kieran Trippier You can read the rest of Ben Dinnery’s article here on 888sport.com Thanks for reading FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 29

FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 27 This week’s captaincy debate is a hot topic as those with a double, divide opinion. However, for me, there are only three clear candidates from two teams. So, without further ado… Ivan Toney The in-form Brentford striker has two great-looking fixtures this weekend. Although both games are away from home, the Bees’ chances of winning are near 44 per cent, with their opponents languishing near the foot of the table. Thomas Frank’s side are now unbeaten in twelve Premier league encounters, and after Round 27, I expect this run to have been extended to fourteen. Brentford will cause problems from open play with the Saints, and Everton’s backline susceptible to the Bees’ style of winning the ball with a high press. You can read the...[Read More]

FPL Captain Picks For Gameweek 25 While there may be some tasty-looking single fixtures this weekend, no FPL manager worth their salt will be considering any player outside of a double, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Wolves and Everton being offered two bites of the cherry in Round 25. Bukayo Saka Many FPL managers seem to be focused on Liverpool assets ahead of the double-game week, although their optimism may be a little misplaced despite back-to-back wins. Ten-man Newcastle could’ve easily scored on another day, and the victory was far from convincing.
