Choosing a captain Articles

Help with choosing a Fantasy Football captain. There are dangers in choosing a captain. Picking a captain in a team where everyone scores just means you reduce the chances of your captain scoring big. Picking a captain in a team unlikely to score again reduces your chances. So when choosing a Captain look for two things. A fixture that gives a feeling of goals or clean sheets. An individual in the fixture who is most likely to get the goal or clean sheet.

These articles help you choose the right captain each week. Enjoy the articles, and then tell us your team and we will help advise you on who is good, who is not so good, and we will rate your team.

What we do

As the game week closes, usually on a Sunday, we publish early transfer ideas for fantasy football managers keen to avoid price changes.

After the game week we publish reviews of the games from a Fantasy Football viewpoint and create a shortlist of 20 or so player suggestions for transfers.

On Tuesday we review upcoming fixtures, injuries and suspensions in our Tips article and stats articles to cut the shortlist down to 4-6 players.

Each Wednesday we have the Rate My Team page for us all to exchange ideas on our teams.

Thursdays we review the captaincy choices and we show you how all this information has been brought together in our site team.

We end the week we monitor the manager press conferences for you and then publish a what you need to know.

Some Fridays we publish something fun for your commute home and at the start of every game week we chat about the action in-play and what it means for our teams.

Throughout all this time the Rate My Team Adviser provides suggestions from our statistical model and from experienced real-life managers so you can sanity check your transfer choices.
