My #FPL Captaincy thoughts for #GW21

As I use to do nowadays, I will share my spreadsheet's captaincy insights. But first I will take a look at how the spreadsheet did last week:

GW20:
Salah 66.23% ❌
Mané 65.70% 🎯
Vardy 65.27% DNS
KDB 58.44% 🎯
(From my Patreon article)
This week things has turned around quite a bit.

Vardy: 67.42
KDB: 65.93
Mané: 63.96
Salah: 60.45

KDB and Vardy's form vs respective opponents gives them a small edge. Salah and Mané blanked vs Sheffield U last time and have not played them in recent years which hurts their rank
KDB:
In his no 10 role he has looked tremendous. Versus Sheffield U he played deeper than his favored 10 role, which is a worrying sign. None the less he managed to be the difference maker and get two returns. I like the fact that Aguero is back as well for KDB's assists.
Vardy:
Versus Newcastle and similar opponents Vardy rarely assists. Leicester should beat a tired Newcastle comfortably and I expect Vardy to score one goal. His only blanks in away games has come against Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Mané:
For me Mané has looked more like an assister lately. Salah is playing central forward where he scored the most last season. Mané has only blanked in two home starts this season so in my eyes he's the safe option. But I'm not in love with the match up vs Sheffield U.
Salah:
Just because he's the bottom pick out of these four in terms of the spreadsheet's ranking, doesn't mean that I'm not strongly considering him. I have a hard time seeing him blank three games in a row. But just like with Mané I'm not in love with the match up.
It's a very hard decision for me. KDB is the only one of these players that have a points per 90min over 8 points.

Average points when I have captained them in the past this season:

Vardy: 18
Mané: 15
Salah: 12
De Bruyne: 4.5

Who are you going for?

The Gameweek 11 Preview {THREAD}

Covering:
⭐️ Ones To Watch
⭐️ Captaincy
⭐️ Match Ups

With help from @fpl_shaker

#FPLCommunity #FPL
1) ⭐️The Watchlist⭐️

First off let's update the watchlist, focusing on players that you should keep an eye on going forward.
Quick reminder of last week's additions:

DEF: Cancelo - A bit punty since he is not nailed. Now it seems like he's playing midweek UCL games while Mendy plays the PL ones

MID: Jota - Looked good once again, bargain!

FWD: Vardy - Should be good going forward

Choosing between Salah or KDB for captaincy #GW4? Here are some last minute thoughts and advice {THREAD}👇🏻🤓

#FPL #FPLCommunity
Yonkers’ research confirms the theory many of us had that Salah in fact is better for fpl when he’s playing without Mané.
Foomni’s algorithm supports this view as well

Watchlist - Gameweek 3 {THREAD}

DF: Digne (£6.1m) - Not much needs to be said of the flying Frenchman's ability to provide points, having laid on 4 goals and 13 assists in his two seasons so far at the club.

Everton have a relatively comfortable run in their next 5, with 4 fixtures against teams they would be hoping to replicate their opening day clean sheet against. Image
MF: Havertz (£8.4m) - After a tough start, Havertz has been dumped by a lot of frustrated managers, but Lampard opted to give him a start in the Carabao cup in midweek, which may prove a master stroke as the German went on to... Image

DEF: Lamptey (£4.5m) - As a team, Brighton passed the eye test against Chelsea, who were hugely flattered by a 3-1 score line, and few stood out like the young right back. Playing as a RWB in front of a back 3, Lamptey had plenty of room to roam and looked lively all evening,... Image

Tactical Analysis GW1 {THREAD}

- How heavily should we target Fulham defense in FPL?
- Is Bellerin worth the price?
- What is Willian's role at his new club?

#FPL #FPLCommunity Image
As the new season begins I wanted to start a new series where I use my tactical knowledge as a football coach and apply it to FPL. We will take a look at the skills and roles of players and how it affects the FPL output of themselves and their teammates.
Part 1: Fulham
The majority of this thread will focus on Arsenal’s players since they are the most interesting FPL assets. But I wanted to share my view on how Fulham looked in this game to give you an idea of how they might perform this season. To summarize their attack: Image
