da bet esporte： Welcome back to our cover of Fantasy Premier League captain choices, in which we dwelve into which players could return us with a high amount of double points if handed the armband.
da apostebet： But before we start, let’s take a look at last week’s five and see how well they did.
1. Harry Kane (10)
2. Sergio Aguero (16)
3. Dimtri Payet (2)
4. Riyad Mahrez (1)
5. Olivier Giroud (2)
Unlike the previous gameweek, the average score this time around was much higher at 46 points, mainly due to many picking either Harry Kane or Sergio Aguero as captains. And the two were the most obvious choices, with both players playing smaller teams on their own patch.
The rest were unable to muster more than two, but the main concern is that Riyad Mahrez has missed his second penalty in succession. So despite Leicester City’s home game against Stoke City, is he still in consideration?
Without further ado, here are FIVE Fantasy Premier League Captain Choices ahead of Gameweek 23.
Sergio Aguero
He’s back fellas.
Sergio Aguero (13.3) is one of (if not the) best finishers in the league, and he showcased his class with two goals and one assist in their 4-0 triumph over Crystal Palace last weekend.
And although West Ham are a stronger team defensively than Palace, Aguero is capable of scoring a hattrick against any side in the division and the Hammers’ rearguard may not be able to handle the Argentina star.
Avoid captaining him at your peril.
Romelu Lukaku
After missing out last time, Romelu Lukaku (9.2) has the opportunity to find his goalscoring touch after two matches without attacking returns when struggling Swansea City visit Goodison Park this weekend.
Lukaku is having his best season thus far with 15 goals to his name already, and with the Toffees’ fixtures easing up after draws against Tottenham, Manchester City, and Chelsea, the Belgium international is on track to break the 20-goal mark and could start another run on Sunday.
Jamie Vardy
Not long ago, Jamie Vardy (7.3) was one of the most owned players in the Fantasy Premier League, but has been sold by the truckload recently in trade for Sergio Aguero.
However, Leicester face Stoke City at the KingPower Stadium, and with the Foxes only winning one of their last five games, Claudio Ranieri’s men will be extremely focused on keeping up with leaders Arsenal against an unpredictable Stoke side.
Vardy only featured from the bench in their 2-0 FA Cup loss to Tottenham on Wednesday, but he will be expected to start against the Potters in order to add to his 15 goals so far this term.
Wayne Rooney
What a difference a New Year makes!
Ever since the clock turned from 2015 to 2016, Wayne Rooney (10.0) has been on a goal-scoring spree with four strikes and one assist in his last three league games… amassing 33 points in that period.
And his form could continue this weekend against Southampton at Old Trafford, with the Saints losing their last four away games in succession.
Harry Kane
Harry Kane (10.0) may have been outshone by Christian Eriksen (8.3) last weekend against Sunderland, but the England striker still scored and provided an assist in a 10-point haul giving those that trusted him with the armband over Aguero some relief.
And it looks as if the HurriKane could continue his goalscoring exploits against Crystal Palace on Saturday, with the Eagles on a three-game losing streak having not scored in their last five.
