GW20 Top Three Captaincy Picks

12 Jan. 2023

Caveat - Picks are in the below format

  1. No.1 predicted by Fix 
  2. Alternative high-ownership option. Over 20%
  3. Differential option. Under 20%

Erling Haaland (mun/TOT)

Haaland has found the back of the net four times over the last six gameweeks with only Kane (five) more prolific amongst forwards. He trails only Mitrovic (19) and Nunez (20) for shots in the box (SiB) (16) while only Toney (nine) and Nunez (11) have been afforded more 'big chances' than his eight. Man. City have scored nine goals over the last six gameweeks and no side has attempted more shots over that period (114). His hosts for the first fixture Man. Utd have been good defensively and have conceded just four goals in the last six gameweeks. They are ranked second for 'big chances' conceded (five) but only seventh for shots on target (SoT) conceded (25). His second game against Spurs is more enticing, the Lilywhites have shipped 11 goals in the last six gameweeks and have kept just one clean sheet. They are ranked 12th for shots conceded (72) and 11th for SoT conceded (27). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 12.9 for Haaland.

Marcus Rashford (MCI/cry)

Rashford continued his blistering form with a brace in the Carabao Cup and over the last six gameweeks only Rodrigo (five) has scored more league goals than the England international (four) amongst midfielders. As the below image from our Fix Heatmaps feature shows, he has averaged 6.5 points per game over the aforementioned period and he trails only Salah for SiB (18 to 13), shots on target (12 to nine) and 'big chances' (eight to four). His derby rivals Man. City have conceded five goals over the last six gameweeks and have only kept two clean sheets. They are ranked third for SoT conceded (18) and fifth for 'big chances' conceded (eight). Their London hosts Palace have conceded nine goals over the last six gameweeks and have also kept only two clean sheets. The Eagles are ranked 11th for shots faced (71) and ninth for SoT conceded (26). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 7.5 for Rashford.

Riyad Mahrez (mun/TOT)

Mahrez has been one of Man. City's standout performers since the restart and has racked up 21 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points with only Haaland (20) faring better. As the Stats Sandbox image below shows, amongst Man. City players only De Bruyne has attempted more assists (12 to 11) and created more 'big chances' (four to three) than the Algerian international. Man. City have scored just five goals since the restart but are top for shots (54) and 'big chances' (14). Their cross-town rivals Man. Utd have conceded no goals over the last three gameweeks and are fifth for both shots in the box (SiB) conceded (19), and SoT conceded (10). Their second opponents Spurs have conceded four goals over the same period and are ranked 14th for shots conceded (41). Our Fix Algorithm currently projects a point score of 4.6 for Mahrez.
