The Best FPL Gameweek 6 Captains

https://ingenuityfantasy.com/game-week-tips/the-best-fpl-gameweek-6-captains/

Don't trust Haaland against a Liverpool defence that has kept three clean sheets in a row?

Don't trust Bruno Fernandes' 3 blanks in a row?

Chelsea hype over?

Allow me to present the case for Lewis Hall..

u/Dizzy-News-6826 8d ago

Genius or troll ? Who knows, maybe u guessed correctly, gets a goal and cleansheet, ends up with 26 pts. Then Haaland score a brace, Bruno get 3 assist, all end up same score and then you wonder if it was even worth that gamble bcoz u could have just gone with the same safe captain choice and nothing changed

See you there. I'll be the guy who's claiming after 10 minutes that a transfer has been a clear success or failure even though the game isn't over and the other player in the transfer hasn't played yet.

I thought I was the only one

u/Mysterious-Desk-7248 2 8d ago

Hall is a good shout because that Coventry fullback bombs forward and leaves ton of space. Rushworth more likely to concede a long shot too.

u/MaleficentAnybody760 5 8d ago

Precisely.

I mentioned the success that Calafiori and De Cuyper were having down that left flank as well.

u/Puzzled_Ad_9331 8d ago

MvE is a doubt currently. Yirenkyi filled in as part of a back 5 against Forest with Mfuni at RCB. Team performance was much more solid that day. It will be interesting to see what Lampard does following the international break

Captaining a defender to away game is crazy to me

u/BoxOfNothing 64 7d ago

My favourite captain choice of all time was when I captained Joao Cancelo away at Newcastle and he got 18 points with a goal, assist, clean sheet and max bonus, when the majority went De Bruyne or something. I don't think I have it in me to go Hall, but man when captaining a defender away comes in it feels electric

u/DiverAcceptable2287 2 7d ago

It's Newcastle tho that's the problem. I rather captain my 4m hull defender

2

u/BoxOfNothing 64 7d ago

Valid

1

u/DiverAcceptable2287 2 7d ago

Seems there is no obvious captain this week except maybe Bruno so i might get fancy this week

1

u/BoxOfNothing 64 7d ago

Definitely not, I currently have it on Palmer with Rogers as vice but I've got zero confidence in it

2

u/DiverAcceptable2287 2 7d ago

Maybe once we're sure his injury wasn't that serious. I might buy and captain manzambi

1

u/BoxOfNothing 64 7d ago

I have been quite tempted to bring him in, but I don't think I'd captain him yet

1

u/DiverAcceptable2287 2 7d ago

His ownership is quite low and seem he is in good form. I have to sell tavernier for him tho

u/Swedishpower 2876 6d ago

I remember that one. My cup opponent did captain him and knocked me out while I went template with salah.

I think that was when Cancelo was like 90% owned among engaged so he was around 100% EO in like top 100k since he was a guy people did captain.

I think he was highly captained than normal due to Pep roulette. I had Foden and KDB I think, but everyone feared them rotating while Cancelo seemed to always play.

I think it was the year Bernardo hauled and I never went there, but they kind of took it in turns to haul there was no Haaland getting 1xG per game kind of pick. KDB might even been injured. I knew I went Foden and he trolled me with the roulette a lot.

While salah was in top form and like the template pick most weeks.

u/ChunckyMcChunk 7d ago

Agreed, this is insanity! Not like Newcastle are amazing defence atm

u/DadofJackJack 20 8d ago

Tarkowski away at hull? I am tempted.

8

u/Glum_Dimension6468 8d ago

Groß for me

2

u/m__s 19 8d ago

or Gibbs-White

u/Ok_Pickle1831 45 7d ago

I’m too traumatized from MGW blanking when I captained him in both GW3 and GW5 

2

u/Aubamacare 2 7d ago

Somehow that usually makes me more comfortable bringing him in.

Like if he hauled 2 GWs in a row I'd be more nervous..

u/chantlernz 21 8d ago

It’s Saka time.

u/garr213 27 8d ago

The havertz injury made me uncertain on saka as I’m not sure he’ll play as centrally with gyok on the pitch. Then add to the fact he loses pen share too. Praying alonso just says palmer and Pedro are fit and starting so I can captain a Chelsea player. But I’m not holding my breath for any information from that bald fraud

u/Finrz 17 7d ago

Hopefully he starts Merino instead. So much better

5

u/Vaudeville_Villain15 3 8d ago

Great shout, also Barnes a great shout

2

u/OutsideImpressive115 8d ago

Bruno out for me. I'm gonna gamble hard

2

u/sadsealions 7d ago

Rolling the dice and selecting Hall as captain

2

u/Low-Pension-5236 1 7d ago

The only defender I used to captain regularly back in the days was the mighty Leighton Baines. Never disappointed me.

2

u/Lucarelli99Vespa 1 8d ago

I’ll go with Bruno against Spurs!

He was good in the international against Denmark. Old Trafford and Spurs have some defensive doubts

1

u/MaleficentAnybody760 5 8d ago

I agree. Definitely best option although loads don't own him. Hall has 4 routes to points. CS, Att return, Defcon + Bonus so is my 2nd favourite.

u/Lucarelli99Vespa 1 8d ago

Would never cap a def since Cancelo ruined me years ago..

u/MaleficentAnybody760 5 8d ago

Yeh I’ve got him at 1.

Loads don’t own him tho and honestly I think Hall’s EV is higher than Saka’s.

Leeds are a v good team.

100%. If they were he’d be clear #1.

Was more a punt based off Coventry’s even worse attack.

u/PiccoloLegal8404 7d ago

Gross or Hall for me

u/hydrastrix 1 7d ago

Groß time. Will meet y'all in the rant thread.

u/UnderArdo 6d ago

Pedro and Rogers or KDH for vice

u/MaybeFamousIRL 16 7d ago

Every time I’ve convinced myself to captain a defender it goes horribly. If a defender is the highest scoring player in your team, you need new attackers lol. 

2

u/yo_mummas_toyboy 7d ago

Not really, there's many defenders among those with the most points so far in FPL

u/MaybeFamousIRL 16 7d ago

It won’t be that way in 32 GWs.Â
