Fantasy Premier League FPL Gameeek 29 Preview – Captain Choices
Below we have some relevant FPL data points like scoring records against this week’s opponent, FPL points per minute, Current FPL Form, how hard the team they are playing this weekend is and more, and for each category a score is given based on the % of the best result for that stat.
Add the % scores together and you get our Captain rating. And for our thoughts below.
WE SAY YES
He (and Liverpool) let a lot of FPL players down last weekend, except for the shrewd FPL players with three Watford assets, but Salah is primed to score loads of points against Bournemouth.
Aubameyang is not a bad shout with the double, but one of them is against Man City.
Our real left field choice is Mahrez, who has double gameweek points potential and may be more likely to play with De Bruyne in doubt. And his form isn’t too bad but stats against upcoming sides aren’t great.
WE SAY NO
If he was 100% fit you’d say take De Bruyne due to the double gameweek for City, but there are doubts he will play both anyway.
