fantasy premier league captain picks GW8
The Fixtures
Here’s the fixtures for a bit of context:
So Man City and maybe Chelsea are the only standout fixtures. If you’re feeling bullish you could stretch it to Leicester and West Ham
Bookies odds
Here’s the anytime goalscoring odds for those at £2.30 or below for £1 invested. I’ve been alot more lenient on gametime risk this week.
£1.44 – Aguero
£1.80 – De Bruyne
£2.20 – Silva, Walcott/Giroud,
£2.25 – Gestede, Falcao/Remy,
£2.30 – Samchez, Sturridge. Mbokani
Payet is £3.10, Mahrez £3.00
FPL advice sites polls

The FFGeek choice
If you’ve come to the site before you’ll already know I’ll choose Aguero. I’ve nailed my colours to the conservative captain choice policy.
Some basic stats
Aguero Man City fwd £13.2m
7 games 1 goal 1 assist. FPL point every 25.2mins. Consistency return rate (return in a game of a goal or assist) 2 returns from 7 games ie 29%. Great shooting stats just can’t seem to put the ball into the net. Has pens
Newcastle defence: 7 games 11 goals conceded 3 clean sheets. Underlying defensive stats are lower quarter
De Bruyne Man City mid £10.2m.
3 games 2 goals 0 assists. FPL point every 12.3 mins. Consistency return rate 2 returns from 3 games ie 67%. Too little data to comment on underlying stats.
Newcastle defence: 7 games 11 goals conceded 3 clean sheets. Underlying defensive stats are lower quarter
Payet West Ham mid £7.9m
7 games 3 goals 3 assists. FPL point every 12.8 mins. Consistency return rate 5 returns from 7 games ie 71%. Great creating chances stats shooting stats aren’t that great though. Has alot of set pieces.
Sunderland defence: 7 games 16 goals conceded 0 clean sheets. Underlying defensive stats are among the worst in the division
Mahrez Leicester mid £6.5m
7 games 5 goals 3 assists. FPL point every 9.4 mins. Consistency return rate 5 returns from 7 games ie 71%. Great creating shooting and creating chances stats. Has pens.
Norwich defence: 7 games 12 goals conceded 0 clean sheets. Underlying defensive stats are among the worst in the division.
Thats it good luck with your captain choice this week
