Fantasy Premier League FPL Preview Gameweek 17 – Captain Choices
Below we have three lots of data – Player history v Team, FPL Points from this season per minute, current FPL Form, and more.
Add the scores together and you get our Final Score. And for our thoughts below.
It’s not a bad guide for the top players, not exclusive to picking a captain.
WE SAY YES
You can never go wrong with a Vardy party, especially given they are playing Norwich at home.
Liverpool have an easier game in Watford, so one of their two main men are a great choice.
Spurs top our stats, but Wolves are quite the difficult opposition.
WE SAY NO
Manchester City players.
FPL UNDERPERFORMERS / OVERPERFORMERS
Every year there will be Emperors of Disappointment and Kings of the Surprise and this season has proven no different.
A quick and nasty way of checking this our check of total points against cost.
No surprise a certain Sheffield United “defender” leads the way for top value. He is joined by a few team mates.
Vardy makes the list despite his cost, and has a few team makes with him on the list.
Down the other end of the boat are the under achievers. To determine this we did the same math, but set a minimum of 20 FPL points scored.
A few weeks ago Dele Alli topped this list, how times have changed.
