Who is the best captain for FPL Gameweek 5?

Considering this too. Salah has been weird so far. Decent underlying numbers and has always had chances, but never really feels ruthless and like he's going to haul. WHU away is a hard fixture for Haaland, though. Can see him getting something like 9 points, in which case it might be worth a punt on someone else.

Salah here too, at least we won't have to wait long to see what damage we've done to our teams 😀

Early KO curse though 🙁

Yeah I agree I usually hate the early kick off captain but trying to go with my instinct a bit more after a decent start and play it safe most others weeks with Haaland captain. Salah just has such great history as someone who can haul and I feel it is due over the next few weeks. It's him or Son for me this week, hopefully I'll stick with Salah. No regrets and all that!

If it makes you feel better, I'm considering captaining Awoniyi. 4 attacking returns in 4, and at home to a Burnley team who've conceded 11 goals in 3 games. Somebody talk me out of it.

A lot of those doing the abusing are clueless about football. Social media rentacrowd clickbait.

Because most are incapable of having their own opinions.

80million is why

Yeah - influential player for England getting to a WC semi and a Euros final. Deserves more respect for that definitely. Concerns about whether he's playing enough at club level to be called up/has declined as a player are totally legit, but the abuse is just moronic.

Well past his best. Has barely played for his club team and refused a move to another club where he would get a lot of minutes. Only getting picked for England because the cowardly coach plays favorites and refuses to pick on form. Looks like a meathead. Last two goals were own goals.

Fair enough.. but people forget that he did assault a Greek police officer

Before that England match, I was looking at a maguire fail video and was thinking about his mental health tbh.

He really does get so much stick, and tbf to him, he actually handles it very well.

You never though what's really going on in his head. He see's the funny side in people criticizing him, but it must get to him deep down, and its so prolonged. The worrying thing about depressions etc is that you wont normally see the warning signs until its too late.

At the end of the day with Maguire. He tries his best, I'm sure. Its not his fault that idiotic Man U broke the transfer fee for him, or that he gets picked to play for either England or Man U. Perhaps people should direct their hate towards them instead?

If someone was stupid enough to pay me 350k a week to kick a football every so often, I'm fairly certain I'm not going to turn that down. Once again, blame Man U for making a dumb deal in the first place.

350 grand a week that fellas on!! Absolutely ridiculous!!

I blame social media tbh and the money these days. Social media gives players a voice that they didn't really have before and the money makes them lazy.

Yes, they were interviewed by the media, but they are all trained for that, and the club dictates what they say really.

Now, they can just send out a message to millions of people in seconds.

I cant name them all of the top of my head, but Ronaldo, Sancho, Dele Alli, are all examples of this.

I hate it how things are these days. I am not even particularly old, but I hate social media. If I was a manager, I'd try and ban it, and any prima donnas like sancho can just do one.

pickford

Toney is out until January 16

Pedro to Edouard?

Agree with Pedro out. You could maybe invest in Morris with favorable program including double in GW7.

WC to sell Salah Mitoma Ode Eze Pedro for Son Maddison Bruno Mbeumo Alvarez

Turner might become number 2 so could trade him in case you don't want to waste a transfer, otherwse good to go imo

Only bad pick there is Digne, he will be benched when Moreno returns

what's the worse that will happen, docked £5k?

Imagine being a young prospect and signing for ManUtd, the worst possible "elite" destination where you probably destroy your career like many others lately

1.4 million a month! Haha

That won’t be their target forever though. And they’ll easily avoid it this season

Their valuation shouldn't drive their potential in relation to their league position. Cooper should. Newcastle could be winning leagues by spending billions in that case.

Well they priced him when he was at Arsenal and that would have been a fair price. I got him in on my WC in GW4. Think he’ll get to play at some point and I’ll play him when that happens but he can’t defend whatsoever

WHo's their LWB at the moment?7

I prefer Saliba over Estu for this gw, Everton’s attack is very bad
Also why you captain Maddison, I want to do so too but I’m afraid

Bowen to Son

bump, any more comments plz? 😀

This week, Son. Next week, Rashford or Saka.

Someone doesn't have all 3 of them?!?

Bruno plays for Man U, so him.

Son is really tempting but B is def the option for me. Ode+4 is worth more over next 3 GWs surely?

Then Son 2-3 GWs down line if still showing form.

A for me, but my average hit cost per season is probably 64. No problem when they pay off, though. People here are too hit averse, however jumping from good asset to another chasing last week points is stupid and I have been too knee jerky this season.

Sounds decent. Free?

Odegaard is playing Everton. EVERTON.
