da cassino online： Hello internet! Welcome back to another edition of Fantasy Premier League captain choices, in which we look into which players have a rather high possibility of earning mega points for their respective managers.
da dobrowin： But before we delve into our options, let’s look at our performance from the previous gameweek, with many FPL managers swapping players around due to blanks.
1. Alexis Sanchez (3)
2. Sergio Aguero (6)
3. Harry Kane (2)
4. Daniel Sturridge (6)
5. Riyad Mahrez (9)
With the average being just 39, it wasn’t the biggest of hauls for many managers, showcased by the lack of big name players exploding with points. Alexis Sanchez was a disappointment after seven consecutive games with positive returns, bagging just three points. Sergio Aguero, Riyad Mahrez, and Daniel Sturridge all grabbed a goal each to satisfy those that gave them the armband, but the biggest downer was Harry Kane, who drew a blank in probably Tottenham’s most important game this season.
But let’s move on to Gameweek 36, shall we?
Here are FIVE FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE CAPTAIN CHOICES ahead of Gameweek 36.
Alexis Sanchez
Alexis Sanchez (11.1) is the obvious captaincy choice for this gameweek, given that the Gunners host lowly Norwich City at the Emirates.
The Chile international may have blanked last weekend but is currently on incredible form, scoring six and supplying three assists in his last seven matches. With no European football or domestic cups to worry about, Sanchez will be fully focused on the Gunners in beating the Canaries to keep hold of their top four status.
Daniel Sturridge
Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge (10.1) is also in good knick, with five goals and two assists in his last six matches. The England international was considered a rotational risk with the Reds facing Villarreal in the Europa League semi-finals, but Divock Origi’s injury has increased Sturridge’s game time.
Next up for Liverpool is Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium, and with the Swans having nothing to play for and have just come out of a 4-0 bashing by Leicester City, Sturridge could go on a rampage.
Dimitri Payet
Having not played a game last weekend, West Ham United and Dimtri Payet (8.4) will be up and ready when they face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, making the Frenchman a viable option to give the armband.
Payet was selected in the PFA Team of the Year and you can see why, with the former Marseille man having nine goals and 10 assists in 29 appearances this term. The Hammers’ opponents West Brom have conceded in their last four games, and a shut-out against Slaven Bilic’s men is unexpected.
Andy Carroll (6.4) is also a choice, but despite his form, the Englishman could be rotated with the likes of Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia this weekend.
Jermaine Defoe
It’s not often that a Sunderland player makes our picks, but Jermaine Defoe (5.2) is a risky yet logical choice to be a given the armband this weekend.
The Black Cats have suddenly found some good form, climbing out of the bottom three after only losing one game in their last seven. And during that period, Defoe has scored three goals, also supplying an assist.
Up next for Sunderland are Stoke City, who have just lost 12 goals in their last three games and have nothing to play for. Defoe is also strange in that he has scored 10 of his 13 strikes away from home, boding well for their trip to the Britannia Stadium.
Romelu Lukaku
You must think we’re having a laugh for considering Romelu Lukaku (8.7), who has not scored a goal in his last five games despite playing all 90 minutes in each of them.
But let’s think about this first. Lukaku is (on his day) one of the best strikers in the division, with 18 goals already to his name. Yes he may be frustrating at times, but with no more FA Cup to worry about and Roberto Martinez doing everything to save his job, Everton will be pushing hard to finish the season strongly.
Their opponents are also Bournemouth, who have nothing to play for losing four out of their last five. The last time I remember Lukaku playing in a dead-rubber match was with West Brom against Man United, which ended in a 5-5 draw and the Belgian grabbing a hat-trick.
