    for example Vardy tends to often overperform his xG (so a low xG maybe should be taken with a pinch of salt). Whereas let's say Firmino and Jesus have underperformed quite badly the last 3 seasons so a high xG for them shouldn't neccessarily have us rushing to get them

    Vardy = Good striker
    Firmino/Jesus (especially the latter) = Bad strikers.

    For me I find shot to goal ratio important, shot location important, touches in the opponent’s box important and also passes to teammates in the opponent’s box.

    All of the above are important for Fantasy.

    1 week punt before WC.

    Podence > Mahrez

    or

    Kane > Jesus?

    This will be an interesting week for a Captain Thread. No outstanding candidate (at least among the highly owned players)

    Vardy, DCL and Salah will be the standout captains I'm sure?

    I'll save that for a sure fire Salah/ Son / Kane Fulham game I think.

    Vardy is a great captain choice but it has the potential to backfire moreso than other option over the season. I'd hold.

    Warning: triple captaining a player who is expected to score at least a goal or two .... sometimes doesn't work !!

    I've 3 options for this week
    1 Salah capt , foden , rashford and bank transfer
    2 Salah capt, Jota, rashford would be selling foden for Jota.
    3 salah, foden and sterling capt would be selling rashford for sterling.
    I'm. 1 short on rashford to Kdb.
    Any opinions.

    I think you have to expect Foden to be benched at this stage despite his good champions league form. Jota is an upgrade anyway even if he does start.

    Mitchell been sat on my bench could be a nice route to replace him especially with Everton's next 2 games

    Torn on what to do myself. Might take a -4 hit and do a double swap.

    Option 1
    Take a -4 hit and bring in Bamford for Kane, and Sterling/KDB for Saint Maxim. I'd bring in Salah, but am .2 short

    Option 2
    No -4 hit, leave Kane in and bring in Jota for Saint Maxim

    Not sure i see Kane scoring many in the next few weeks, but he's usually good for assists. So might be worth holding him, and maybe swap him out for Salah next week. Already have Vardy and DCL, so should be sorted up front.

    Crunch time.

    Son to KDB (and captain KDB or Bruno) (Could end up captaining KDB 2 games in a row, vs Burnley and then Fulham. Rumour has it Pope is injured so KDB appeal rises....)

    or

    Kane to Vardy (and captain Vardy or Bruno)

    or

    Zaha to Ziyech, then next GW get in KDB for Bruno and captain KDB v Fulham?

    Vardy's xG isnt actually that bad at the moment, even excluding penalties.

    Bamford remains the stand out in xG though he has a huge number of shots generally compared to everyone else.

    Firmino is unusually high for him at the moment too.

    Kane's has plummeted when you exclude penalties. Him and Son both. Could be because of a more defensive approach from Mourinho.

    No specific reason tbh. I wanted a city defender for their run and it was a choice between Dallas and KWP. I think KWP is good for some more clean sheets and bonus points than Dallas.
    Although Dallas can be played out of position in midfield and get some attacking returns I don’t think they will be significant. I’m happy to just have Bamford from Leeds.

    I'd imagine Bamford consistently underperformed on XG most years, he's always seemed to miss a huge number of chances

    Bit surprised by this. Mahrez has been awful. He has blanked every gw apart from gw2. Although he didn't play in 3 gws to be fair

    You could make exactly the same argument against getting Sterling or KDB.

    Who knows whether City will do anything? Maybe their assets will continue to be worthless and Mahrez owners will just have wasted 3m less learning that

    Panic purchased.... Kane to vardy for a hit....I still have Jorginho and zaha in my team which doesn’t inspire confidence in hitting decent points (I think zaha might feature on Friday)

    I think you could look at upgrading Ziyech to Sterling with the fixture that is in it, and you on the Free Hit. Looking at the team you have there it feels like there would be more money left in the bank or on the bench and the likes of Bellerin or Richarlison could be downgraded to cheaper options to make up whatever else you need.

    Yeah, he won't be tested again until Saturday, he sits on the bench and I hope he doesn't drop further in value, my make or break game is Chelsea/spurs ... I sold Kane for vardy and have 2 Chelsea defenders ... So that game will decide if I do well this week or not.

    Kane to Vardy (to cover it) Vardy on pens has hatrick potential and don't want to get left behind

    Might try bring in Foden-4 too for Kliich

    I've already done Son & Zaha >> KDB & Jota

    Have serious Vardy fear and contemplating another -4 to get Kane out. Think I'll hold, seems too kneejerky.

    I won't be ripping my team up for it, but Vardy as a captain on a Monday Night Football against the worst defence in the league is definitely attractive
