    Alli is 15% owned and Abraham is 35% owned so Alli would be your differential.

    Genuinely can’t remember a week I’ve changed captain so many times from Abraham to Alli. Currently Abraham.

    Doing the same with starting Richarlison or Cantwell. Currently, reluctantly, Richarlison.

    Kane leading the poll.

    That is not helping me.

    Could go either Salah or Vardy.

    One of them will run out of luck :)

    A differential is a player that others in your league don't have, their owner percentages don't make a difference in individual leagues.

    It doesn't matter if Alli has 50% ownership, he would be a differential if most or all of the players in the person's league don't have him.

    At least that's my understanding of a differential player in fantasy footy.

    Agreed. In reality, we all want to win our money/friends leagues. Abraham is a large 'differential' in my leagues with friends. Probably moreso than Alli actually.

    Makes sense.

    I never really care about the money league and don’t really look at them.

    I work on my overall position so I’d be impacted that way.

    In fairness you are doing a good job at it... I normally flounder in table before getting a run of luck and finish in around 1-1.5millionth (that's an achievement as far as I'm concerned).

    How do you guys even keep tabs on other people ?

    I’ve no idea who anyone is and more to the point who their team is.

    I think McBain is the only team I recognise and that’s because of his team name which I’ve now forgotten.

    Reluctantly giving the armband to Alli....working on the assumption that Spurs will be fired up after the Chelsea game and with Son out, Alli should be slightly more advanced perhaps (??)

    Other contenders are Abraham, Richarlison and Lordy

    I've switched to Alli. Richarlison starts for me, purely to see if he turns it on to impress Ancelotti.

    It’s Dyche I’m really concerned about.

    Not sure if the Everton players won’t spend a few games getting used to new ideas.

    That’s said I noticed Villa are 3 points above Norwich and may find a defensive performance, that they haven’t recently, to maintain that gap.

    I think Richarlison at home is the right call over Cantwell away. Although I expect the game at Villa Park to have a few goals in it.

    Going Abraham without any real confidence.

    It’s a bit of a mad week for captaincy. I also have Alli, Mane, KDB and Vardy, but I can make a good case against captaining any of them.

    I don’t have Kane or Rashford but (I know this will come back to bite me!) neither worry me.
