Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 30
Welcome to Captain Picks Gameweek 30. Another week goes and another week where there was little joy in the armband department. The top ten FPL captains got the following scores 2, 3, -1, 6, 7, -1, 3, 2, 3 and 1 which all means…… F@#K FPL! Kane and Hazard were the only two to get more than 3 points so well done if you had it on either of them. The top scorer of the weekend was turncoat, Declan bloody Rice with 15 points, if you had Jimenez, Deeney or Lukaku they were the only strikers who got over 10 points, so again well done. This week is looking like a lucky dip of captaincy choices as the big players aren’t firing and the poor teams are playing each other but I was told I had to write an article so write one I shall!
In fact, I’m going to make this article short and sweet for those who don’t like reading much… if you have Aguero or any City attacker then cap them, so if you want to stop reading and go straight to the comments fire ahead but if you don’t have a City player or just want to figure out your VC then here are some more options below!

Evening
How is everyone? What moves you planning for this GW?
This is currently my team – I have 2.3 ITB, what should I do?
When are you chipping Mitro? That sort of dictates your moves.
I still haven’t decided mate, really want to use my WC this week
I don’t see any need to do that, unless you have deeper structural reasons.
Your side is very well set up for this weekend.
This. In which case you need to decide on the alternative plan. How many do you have for 31 and 32 as it stands right now?
If you need / want the tracker on excel I can ping it across, I’ve found it most helpful sticking my team next to the fixtures and totting up numbers as I’ve gone along. Probably because I forget what I’ve planned otherwise!
Morning init,
As it stands I will have 6 maybe 7 if Balbuena starts. I could bring in TAA in this week so that would make 7/8 for GW31 and a decent 11 for GW32
If you could send over the spreadsheet that would be great mate. Need to sort my chip strategy out.
TAA in this week plus sorting out the bench in a later WC would probably work.
However we all play our own game so just go for it.
Rashford will miss. Terrible game. I hope not but I fear.
Omg he scores. HAHAHA! The end of PSG. HAHAHAHA!
So unfair. Wasn’t a penalty in a million years.
Same ref that in the first leg of Ajax – Real unfairly disallowed an Ajax goal.
Is he the same Raz?
Mmm…
Yeah, Skomina.
After Ajax-Real, all that was talked about was Skomina and well the stupid action of Ramos. And that well Ajax was actually much better than Real in the first leg. But that decision sort of ruined a good night.
Now it’s the same. PSG was actually much better than ManU. This is a miracle but in a different way. I would feel sorry for PSG if they didn’t have so much money to spend. Lolz.
Indeed Raz, I’d feel sorry for PSG as well but not feeling sorry for them one bit due to Qatar…. So happy that money doesn’t always win (although PSG were the better team)!
Ole is a fokin genius !!!
To beat PSG in Paris with a dismantled team after losing 2-0 at home !!
That requires some huge cojones and self esteem !!
Brilliant game !!
Cookster, congrats mate !
A fully deserved win !!
Lol HL. What games did you see? I supported United in both but PSG was much better in the first leg (where United was playing with his best). They were also better today just two huge mistakes and the ref…lolz. This wasn’t dismantling PSG.. The better team lost.
I like the result. But we must be honest.
Not saying they were the better team.
Just saying I respect teams with balls!
Other teams would have gone there and would’ve just waited for the game to end.
Just saying Ole managed to bring some flair in the team.
It’s not just this game.
So kudos for that.
Yeah I liked it. Was happy to finally see Chong…even though he literally did everything wrong. Hahaha.
Let’s be honest here, they got two gifted goals and a penalty, PSG was a lot better team in both fixtures, plus the useless away goal rule, it was just a draw!!!!! Ole is no genius they were very lucky that’s all… PSG can blame itself for having a 41-year-old keeper who in the end gifted United the tie…
Decimated by injuries in the 2nd leg, Herrera, Mata, Martial & Rashford all injured within 30mins of the start of the first leg.
United have won every single away match under Ole.
Given 2 goals? We’ve given away enough ourselves over the years!
And anyway who criticises, well I’d like to see where their bollocks are standing in front of Buffon and 80k others with a kick to win or lose the tie!!
Yeah, but they were lucky 😉
As they say then, better be lucky than good.
GGMU.
Ole has been great for United, sure, I was merely talking about the tie against PSG as HL was referring to that… Anyway, better be good than lucky, you can win one game with luck but you win the tournament by being good (and lucky as well).
They played better than PSG, for sure, but was that a real penalty? It did seem rather unfair – what do the rules say?
No rules for VAR. Just interpretation and corruption. Hehe.
either way, im hoping Ajax wins the CL if Liverpool cant get the job done this season.
Hehe.. Not too sound harsh but Ajax don’t stand a chance. :p One miracle is where it will probably stay at. They already did awesome and makes me proud the focus on talented young players still pays off at times.
On that note. They will lose all those players.
Ref has to make a (relatively) snap judgement on intent, that’s the crux of that one. Funnily enough there looked slightly more intent in full speed than in slo-mo. To me he just threw himself in front of it, probably with little thought to the fact that it may hit his arm. And I think that’s what happened; it hit him more than him intending to hit it (with his actual arm). Probably harsh then, but my word what excitement!
My wife said “you don’t get this excited when Everton play!” I couldn’t be bothered to explain the complexities of why that is.
It wasn’t a penalty in a million years. Ref is stretching as he did during the Ajax Real game.
He’s now been the decisive person in two games following each other, in a negative way.
It is what it is. Hehe. You don’t see me crying for PSG. Also their coach bugs the hell out of me. Good riddance. 😉
They have like a 17 , point lead in League 1…. with a game in hand so technically 20 points.
These type of clubs ran by the Emirates don’t excite me one bit.
I’m glad they’re gone too, but for other reasons. Mainly that their twitter feed annoys the hell out of me! They constantly pepper it with tweets on nights they aren’t playing on, but when they know traffic will be high because other clubs are playing. A desperate ‘don’t forget about us’ plea should be attached to them. Glad to say we can now.
The fact that they tweet their team in a video is über annoying too. The fact that the CL feed always follows theirs with a standard team pic is funny, I’m guessing it annoys them too! Small things annoy me, evidently
The rules say a foul is given when a player handles the ball deliberately. What we’ve seen over and over now is that officials look at hand balls in the area in terms of the volume the arms are adding to the body. When a player jumps like that with the arm outside of the body officials tend to consider that that’s a deliberately intent to “eventualy” block the ball if it takes that direction. In other words, Kimpembe shoul’ve known better.
I agree with this too, as well as agreeing with what I said, albeit the two are mildly contradictory!
I agree with this, it’s a matter of how we/they interpret the intent of using the hand… The pen wasn’t that harsh, even if Kimpembe didn’t deliberately use his hand, he should have known that if you jump like that to block the shot your hand is going to be in a place where it shouldn’t be, and there’s nothing you really can do about it, the hand helps him to block the shot in a way that is against the ethos of football – that it’s a sport played by feet and not by hands.
Congrats to UTD ! I must say, PSG will get the title of “Chokers” now. They played exactly a similar match like against Barcelona. UTD played well, but it was not like a pressure match against Barcelona and also it was at home.
PSG 11 Shots, 4 OT, 1 Goal vs UTD 5 Shots, 4 OT, 3 Goals – OLS is a poacher in front of goal and he knows how to come back from behind (all remembers the Bayern match years back).
Site team is looking very good especially Mane (c)
