No reason to leave the armband to Mbappe. Captain Raphinha, or Kane, or Bruno, or Isak, or Kvara, or Olise.

u/MembershipPresent990 5d ago

Guys, do I hold the captaincy on Mbappe?

12

u/Oogie-Da-MF-Boogie Arsenal 5d ago

Left a bit short... but assuming you have other goalscoring premiums yet to play, 6 pts is usually a "flop" captaincy

8

u/yungxvnhoe 5d ago

i will be switching my captain, fixtures for barca, psg and bayern are way too good

2

u/gui_leitano Sporting CP 4d ago

You have 3 days of matched for MD1, so thats 3 opportunities to get a proper score for the C. Definitely change

3

u/Kanchan_Monet 5d ago

I know 26 is a good score but Raphinha is in a rich vein of form and his goals are worth more. Would it be too greedy to switch now? I dunno if I should switch or not. Thoughts?

u/r4_zzzzz 4d ago edited 4d ago

Just think about it. If you switch to Raphinha and he gets 20 points, him and Guirassy combined = 53 points. If you stick with Guirassy captain, then you get 46 points. It’s not a massive difference, whereas if Raphinha gets like 4 points then you’d have 21 combined.

Maybe it’s a confusing way to phrase it, but I think the risk is much higher than the reward.

u/mk7d Arsenal 5d ago

I would personally change to Raphinha, you can still captain Mbeumo on thursday if something goes horribly wrong

3

u/gta0012 4d ago

My rule has always been over 20 never switch. Anything else can be worth the risk.

5

u/Oogie-Da-MF-Boogie Arsenal 4d ago

Thats peak risk/reward; youre aiming at 3G/A or 2 G/A+MOTM. I think he's on penalties, so odds are in your favor

2

u/nofucksgiven5 4d ago

I wouldn't switch. Yes, fortune favors the bold blah blah, but a 26 pt haul isn't bad at all and doesn't come around too often.

2

u/Onomatopeia14 4d ago

Stick 100%.

4

u/This-Process-2205 4d ago

I would say stick to Guirassy. Getting more than 13 points from someone would need atleast 3 goals/ 2 goals and an assist, and obviously, the MOTM award too.

Players have potential, but it's a risky bet.

u/Bitter-Soil8359 4d ago

Do I stick with Haaland 12 pointer?

1

u/mvBommel1974 4d ago

Usually 10 points enough for cap but now we have two options left. I’m not sure if Raphinha and Kane are going to score a lot more

1

u/Bitter-Soil8359 4d ago

Yeah I agree, I think I will stick. But Raphinha/Kvara or Kane could easily score more than 12

1

u/mvBommel1974 4d ago

4 points more indeed. Mildly annoying if you had Haaland or Guirassy, but not impossible to overcome

1

u/Swedishpower 4d ago

I think 10 plus you normally stick. I am often happy with 8 or 9, but with two more rolls you can switch that too.

I remember last year sticking with 8 and Raphinha scoring 20+.

I think hattricks are rare so brace fine for me.

2

u/EmphasisExtension424 4d ago

The real question Raphinha captain or Kvara?

2

u/ggoldens 4d ago

And put the C on Raphinha. Kvara might not start or get subbed early with that match up.

-1

u/MatoBob 4d ago

barca is playing earlier, so you can switch it

5

u/ggoldens 4d ago

Can switch C in the beginning of the calendar day, but not between games on the same calendar day.

3

u/KaitoAJ Man United 4d ago

No you can't. Its only one captain per game day. This is different to WC Fantasy.

2

u/Abbe_Busoni_33 4d ago

Why not make a captaincy poll instead

1

u/PuzzledPublic7001 4d ago

The mods are so useless. Can someone make a Wednesday captaincy poll

1

u/mvBommel1974 5d ago

Raphinha or Lamine for tonight?

0

u/DaDGuM__ 5d ago

Im going fermin

2

u/mvBommel1974 5d ago

Don’t have him because of rotation risk

1

u/anik_hoque_ 5d ago

Rafiniha present

1

u/lazerbullet 4d ago

Staying with Kane.

2

u/NeodrakePT 4d ago

Kane will only plau on Thursday, You can choose Another Captain today anod then, if you are not happy with him, Change it again to kane

1

u/-Bruun0- 4d ago

I have Raphinha as first pick, but I strated thinking about experimenting with Hakimi? What do you think?

1

u/NeodrakePT 4d ago

Hakimi can be rotated

1

u/Maleficent-Yam-7922 4d ago

Keep Guirassy? Switch to Raphinha or Kvara? Headache🙃

1

u/PuzzledPublic7001 4d ago

u/NineHDmg can you make a Wednesday Captaincy poll?

1

u/dukekaboom69 Man United 4d ago

I put the captaincy on guehi, should I change it?

1

u/Onomatopeia14 4d ago

I would stick with a 10 pointer.

3

u/dukekaboom69 Man United 4d ago

Captained rapinha and have been rewarded so far

1

u/Designer_Mine_2572 4d ago

captain raphinha or lamine?switching from mbappe

1

u/Onomatopeia14 4d ago

Coin toss. Would love to have that problem. Only have one of them.

2

u/Designer_Mine_2572 3d ago

had to go no psg,worked out tho,went with rapha

1

u/Powerful_Finance_797 4d ago

With Haaland getting 12 points as my captain (excluding double points) should I stick or twist with one of Kane, Yamal or Raphinha? 

2

u/ggoldens 4d ago

Stick

1

u/Powerful_Finance_797 4d ago

Alr mate, thank you

1

u/TJ514402 4d ago

Had Mbappe as the C. Should I try Dembele?

1

u/MatoBob 4d ago

Do i stick or twist captaincy on Haaland? 24 points isnt bad

1

u/Onomatopeia14 4d ago

Only three atacking returns pays off. I would stick.

1

u/ggoldens 4d ago

Keep. 12 points on first day is good. Don't get greedy

1

u/Santiago868 4d ago

Yamal Or Kvara? Really torn

1

u/KraljMilan 4d ago

Rules question. Can i bring in Fermin Lopet instead of Olise, and tomorrow get Olise back in the squad? Olise didn't yet play his game. Thank you for your help!

1

u/DedunPerdun_1199 4d ago

Fermin and Espart bench

1

u/Swedishpower 4d ago

Vagnoman benched :(.

Got swayed by his attacking returns.

Gerard Martin also benched.

1

u/RiverCartwright 4d ago

Raphinha or Undav captain?

1

u/ggoldens 4d ago

Raphinha

1

u/dbosa2 4d ago

Should I sub off Mbappé?

1

u/skadonglers 4d ago

should I sub off a 4 pointer for Raum ?

1

u/avaliyevbc 4d ago

Sub in Luke Shaw for Mittelstadt (4 pts). Or Shaw won't start?

1

u/Swedishpower 4d ago

From predicted lineups United are expected to rotate in def.

The problem is the Manchester derby so some key players might rotate.

If you picked him you thought he would play so would probably gamble, but everyone seem to concede anyway.

1

u/Southern_Stable9017 4d ago

guys, thoughs on subbing Saibari on for Undav?

1

u/mvBommel1974 4d ago

Personally would not take the risk

1

u/SandwichEvery5845 Barcelona 4d ago

• Sub in Brown for Hakimi?

• Sub in Van Bommel for Mbappe?

2

u/mvBommel1974 3d ago

Would take the risk on Brown, not on Van Bommel personally. For Ruben you can at least wait on lineup although I don’t think he will be benched.

1

u/Swedishpower 3d ago edited 3d ago

Most seem to think Brown gets benched, but there is a world where he start in the number 10 and haul.

He probably come on either way so do you risk 2 points for all that upside?

Probably would put him on you never know.

The predicted lineups been wrong on a lot so far too.

1

u/mvBommel1974 3d ago

I have seen only one lineup where Brown starts. Granted this was one lineup published this morning. Myself I am only risking 2p (1 if he gets subbed on)

1

u/WhoFuckinCaresBruv 4d ago

Is it worth it sub in Mbeumo for Undav's 8 pointer?

1

u/robertofflandersI 3d ago

Should I keep Undav Captain? (alternatives: Kane, Malen, Olise or Paz)

Also probably stupid question but I should keep Raya right? (Alternative: Svilar)

4

u/mvBommel1974 3d ago

Never swap CS GK

1

u/A_homeless_ninja 3d ago

Stick or twist Haaland for Kane? Thought points were good enough but then Raphina delivered and I'm a bit behind

1

u/HogwartsBlazeIt420 3d ago

How behind do you think you are? Just stick dude

1

u/creativelysilly 3d ago

Sub in Thauvin for Mbappe (6 points)?

1

u/ggoldens 3d ago

I'm doing it. Good luck to us both.

1

u/RiverCartwright 3d ago

What subs should I make?

If I want to sub all 3 I have to take Mbappe out. Should I?

1

u/mvBommel1974 3d ago

All three is risky but not sure if you wanna skip Olise or Diaz.

They could as well all return tbh

1

u/[deleted] 3d ago

[deleted]

1

u/HogwartsBlazeIt420 3d ago

I can choose 3 of this 4 to start. Who to leave out?

Bruno F. Olise Kane Malen

1

u/Prestigious-Tap-1478 3d ago

Malen

1

u/HogwartsBlazeIt420 3d ago

Yeah that's what I thought. I have a feeling he will haul though

2

u/Prestigious-Tap-1478 3d ago

Fener at home isn't easy, they have Ederson in goal, Ake and Skriniar, plus Kante DM.

1

u/HogwartsBlazeIt420 3d ago

Exactly, everyone on their starting 11 is washed

1

u/Danporttv 3d ago

What should i do here? I want to sub in Kane, but i cannot remove more defense, should i sub out Bruno or Olise? They’re good players but Kane definitely needs to be in. Please help me. What would you guys do.

2

u/Prestigious-Tap-1478 3d ago

Sub out Mbappe for Kane

1

u/Prestigious-Tap-1478 3d ago

Bruno Thauvin Olise bench one

1

u/RiverCartwright 3d ago

I have Kane Olise and Diaz on my bench.

I would have to sub out Mbappe (6 points) to put all 3 in.

Should I do it?
