#GW6 CAPTAINCY THREAD

1) SALAH / MANE v Sheff Utd

SHU have looked a shadow of the team they were in 19/20. Loss of Henderson and Jack O'Connell
seems to be having an adverse effect

SHU conceded 15 shots against FUL in GW5

#FPL #FPLCommunity @OfficialFPL

SALAH / MANE (cont.)

LIV have the 2nd highest xG of any team since GW2 (behind Spurs)
Salah/Mane subbed off at 60 min v Ajax
SHU conceded 7th most shots in box, 4th on target since GW2
SHU overall def record not bad - joint 2nd least goals conceded since GW2

SALAH / MANE (cont.)

Salah
7th for non-Pen xG
3rd for xG (behind Kane and DCL)
6G 1A (Son 7G2A, Kane 5G7A, Mane 4G0A)

Mane
4th highest non-Pen xG - impressive since he has only played 4 games

SALAH v MANE (per 90 min)

Shots 5 v 4.4
On target 2.2 v 2.1
In box 3.8 v 3.3
BC 0.8 v 1.8

KP 3.0 v 2.1
BCC 0.8 v 0.3
xA 0.57 v 0.32

Pts 9.6 v 8.0

= Salah a good cap, but without pens, Mane matches him

2) KANE / SON V Burnley

Spurs highest for xG and actual goals since GW2
Burnley conceded 13 shots v WBA in GW5
Mee, Bardsley expected to be out, Pieters a doubt (possibly Lowton at RB, who just returned) Son plays at LW
Kane and Son are 1st and 2nd for pts

KANE v SON

Shots 25 v 12
On target 13 v 9
In box 16 v 9
non-Pen xG 3.56 v 3.61

KP 13 v 16
BC created 7 v 3
xA 3.79 v 2.19

Pts 60 v 58

*SON has played 60 min less than Kane - and gets more points for CS/goals

KANE v SALAH

On Target : 18 vs 20.8
Shots In Box : 28 vs 32.8

24 Oct v SHU

= 2 days rest

SON plays
18 Oct v WHU
22 Oct v LAS
26 Oct v BUR

= 3 days rest

*SON played 30 min as sub v LASK (and scored), KANE unused sub, 8 days rest for him

3) AGUERO / STERLING v West Ham

WHU conceded 3 v Spurs
Aguero likely on pens, scored one in midweek, played 68 min, Sterling played 90 v Porto
KDB back in training, should improve chance creation if he plays
WHU 2nd lowest for shots on target conceded since GW2

AGUERO / STERLING

Aguero only played 65 min v ARS, 68 min v Porto, 2 shots in total
Sterling non-Pen xG since GW2 is 1.15 - 29th in PL, behind Rashford, Bowen, all other options mentioned except Aguero

TLDR: City can always explode against any team - but they haven't yet

4) CALVERT-LEWIN V Southampton

Joint top scorer with Son (7G)
1st for non-Pen xG, xG and BC
SOU defence shaky, conceded 3G & 11 shots in box v CHE in GW5
No Richarlison & Rodriguez could affect chance creation - they have created a combined 50% of all EVE big chances

Our #GW6 Captain Picks

Son
Kane
Salah
Mane

Why Son?

Form, explosiveness
Eye test
Doubts on Burnley RB

But ofc all great options
