Captains December 6

Vote in the Gameweek 16 captain poll

As the manic turnaround between Gameweeks continues we are back to picking our next captain already.

Our latest poll is now live so you can vote on who you believe the best option for the armband is in Gameweek 16.

There are plenty of candidates this time around with very few that leap out to us.

Arsenal’s home meeting with Huddersfield Town is perhaps the most eye-catching with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.2m) expected to be the favourite there although Alexandre Lacazette (£9.6m) is also considered.

Liverpool’s assets will be heading to a Bournemouth defence that has deteriorated statistically of late, meaning there could be returns for Mohamed Salah (£13.0m), Roberto Firmino (£9.2m), Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.0m) or Sadio Mané (£9.8m) if he is passed fit.

Fresh from his 12-point haul in Gameweek 15, Harry Kane (£12.5m) may also be a popular figure. He travels to King Power Stadium, to face a Leicester side he has scored seven goals against in his last four meetings with them.

Fantasy managers burned by Pep Guardiola’s rotation policy midweek may be reticent to make any of their Manchester City options their captain this weekend.

Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) will probably be the most backed among his colleagues. A start against Chelsea feels very likely given that he was rested against Watford and has four goals and five assists in his last five appearances.

Leroy Sané (£9.4m) and David Silva (£8.7m) seem the most likely alternatives unless Sergio Aguero (£11.3m) is declared fit between now and the weekend.

However, it will also be interesting to see how much their opponents Chelsea will temper interest in the Manchester City options.

    Given Pep's fascination with rotation plus the xmas period (CL, Prem & League Cup) I can only imagine this getting worse... As such I'm feeling like going without City attackers.

      They're so explosive that i'm too scared to avoid, just pick 1 or 2, set and forget. In one game they'll often outscore the alternative options in 2 games. They're rampant most weeks.

      You need a couple of tickets for the Pep lottery imo for me its Sterling and Sane because they can outscore most mids playing three out of four games anyway.

      Are people sticking with Hazard or ditching him to reinvest? I have him, and he’s my most obvious source of funds, but I’m nervous that he’s ramping up for a big haul. After City, the fixtures ease up, and his shots on target and in the box look promising. My most obvious concern is that keeping impedes my ability to get Aubameyang this week. Anyone running into a similar situation? What’s your thinking? Where did you land?

      Gibbs-white or Masuaku? for 4.3 fodder

        Masuaku minutes seem to depend on Cresswell and plays LB.
        MGW will probably get minutes most matches, with the occasional start, playing in an attacking position. He can be a gamechanger and if I was to pick between the two it would be him. Tempted to pick him over the 4.4s as well.

      I have the exact funds to do:

      Arnie >> Chicharito and Gudmundsson >> Sterling (for a -8 point hit)

      Do I go ahead with this? I'm afraid price rises and drops will happen and I won't be able to do this next week...

      Anyone going cheapish in defence?

      Something like TAA, Digne, Doherty, AWB, Schindler?

      Allows for a strong Mid and Front 2.

          I like it in theory. No premium defenders making themselves essential at the moment. As long as you have nice rotation think it works well.
