But I don’t like picking against newly-promoted teams in the first week because they often play above themselves, so I’m tempted to look elsewhere. I agree with David above when he says that Mo Salah is likely to be the most popular captain pick overall, and going with him is probably the sensible choice. Conte’s team will be looking to continue their attacking success from a year ago start the season, and Son is a major factor as scorer and set-up man. Spurs get a home fixture against Southampton, who struggled at the end of last season. He also ended the season on a run of 6 goals in 5 games.
Last season Son scored against Man City in GW-1. I wanted to say Harry Kane, but he’s traditionally a slow starter.
Salah is proven and has produced returns on opening day in each of his five seasons at Liverpool (7 goals, 2 assists). Liverpool will be looking to make a real statement and newly-promoted Fulham is the perfect opportunity to do this. Salah may split the spoils with ‘Pool’s newer attackers, but he’s still the go-to-guy for Klopp, who relies on him in the big moments. We all know how lethal Mo Salah is and how he is Mr. He takes pens but is also plenty lethal from open play, and Newcastle’s home tie with newly-promoted Forest is nearly as tasty as Salah’s fixture. For those of you who want to zig while the rest of us zag, then I offer up Callum Wilson as a differential for the armband. This is the stuff that fantasy dreams are made of, so much so that I actually expect to see some FPL managers spend their Triple Captain chip on him in the first game of the season.Īdmittedly though, Mo is an obvious choice and will probably be the most popular captain pick for this weekend, so naming him didn’t really require much courage or cleverness on my part. The most explosive attacker in the EPL faces a team that spent last season in the Championship. This is not a decision to be taken lightly, so to help you get it right our staffers are sharing the logic behind their own captain choices for GW-1. You still need to decide who will wear your captain’s armband - that little magic charm that doubles the fantasy returns of its bearer (or even triples them, when you play that chip). Have you at last finished tinkering with your game-week 1 lineup and locked in your final 15-man squad? If the answer is yes, then congratulations! But don’t be too satisfied with yourself you’re not quite done yet.
