Here’s our fantasy premier league captain choice GW5 article where we look at a number of ways of assessing the best captain pick for the gameweek. In a shortened version we look at the fixtures, the bookies odds, the FPL advice site polls and the FFGeek choice. We aso add on the transfer in and out poll results
FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE CAPTAIN CHOICE GW5 PLUS TRANSFER POLL RESULTS
THE FIXTURES
Here’s the fixtures for GW5. Remember the gameweek deadline is 19.00 UK time tonight Friday
The bookies see 4 teams as favourites with the following win odds for £1 invested. It’s likely the fantasy premier league captain choice GW5 will come from one of those teams.
Spurs £1.25 (Kane, Eriksen and Alli)
Liverpool £1.28 (Salah and Firmino)
Man City £1.30 (Jesus, Aguero)
Man United £1.33 (Lukaku, Mkhitaryan)
If you want to see detailed stats on these players you can see it in our player ranking articles for midfielders and forwards
THE BOOKIES ODDS
Here we look at one of the bookies anytime goal scoring odds. I’ve tried to only put players in who have some gametime security. It’s the return for £1 invested. Odds are as of Friday mid day and remember they assume the player starts and don’t count assist potential.
£1.44 – Harry Kane
£1.67 – Jesus and Aguero
£1.70 – Lukaku
£1.85 – Alli
£1.91 – Salah, Firmino and Morata
£2.05 – Rashford
£2.10 – Coutinho
£2.15 – Vardy
THE FPL ADVICE SITE POLLS.
It’s worth noting here that the FFGeek poll asks who you are going to appoint as captain to reflect the reality of the spread of captain choices. Others ask who is the best captain. Others just say captain poll and leave the question up to you.
Firstly here’s the FFGeek poll:
Here’s the summary of the other main advice polls. It’s worth noting that site 1 is the site with the most traffic
The FFGeek choice
As regular readers will know when there’s an overwhelming poll choice I will pretty much always go for the poll leader. As I’ve said many times the Captaincy choice for me is a shield from rank drops. When there are 50/50 choices you will be forced to use your captain choice as a sword so I’m safe to leave it at that
I’ll be going for Kane definitely
The transfer in and out polls
Good luck whoever you choose for your captain or transfer
