Here’s our fantasy premier league captain choice GW17 article where we look at various ways of assessing the best captain pick for the gameweek. As usual we look at the fixtures, the bookies odds, the FPL advice site polls, any of the top 10 FPL managers we can find and the FFGeek choice.
FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE CAPTAIN CHOICE GW17
THE FIXTURES
The bookies see 4 teams as strong favourites with the following win odds for £1 invested. It’s likely the captain choice will come from one of those teams
Spurs at £1.22
Chelsea at £1. 57
West Ham at £1.67
Man Utd at £1.75
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 midday remember they assume the player starts and don’t count assist potential.
£1.65 – Kane
£1.83 – Costa
£2.05 – Son HM, Dele Alli
£2.10 – Carroll
£2.15 – Hazard, Ibrahimovic
£2.25 – Antonio
£2.30 – Defoe
£2.40 – Sanchez, Eriksen,
£2.45 – Payet
£2.50 – Negredo, Origi, Firmino
THE FPL ADVICE POLLS.
Firstly here’s the FFGeek poll:
I posted it late and forgot to tweet it so a low turnout but sill backs Kane
Here’s the summary of the other main advice polls:
It’s worth noting that site 1 is the site with the most traffic and probably replicates the top 10k FPL managers more than any other site
Kane a clear winner
TOP 10 FPL MANAGERS
Of the 1 manager showing his team he’s going for Kane. Having a look around the good social media sites it’s still Kane
USING VARIOUS MEASURES
Not doing that this gameweek as haven’t been able to do the “ones to watch” articles
THE FFGEEK CHOICE
I normally go with the polls. Kane also looks a fairly compelling case especially as I don’t have Eriksen.
