Deadline is fast approaching (7pm tonight) and it’s another open week for transfers and captains so thought I’d do another thread 🥳

I’ll go through each fixture targeting players to buy / captain. All the sim data is from @cm_fantasy video which is on his Twitter 👌
Arsenal Vs Newcastle

Arsenal attack looks great this week. Average over 2 goals a game and could go very big. Henry is 90% flagged which is irritating but if he starts he could do very well! Pires could also do well but 🤞 for Henry owners that he starts
Aston Villa Vs Man U

United should get the win here but doesn’t look like it’ll be a thrashing. Veron smashed it in the sims so looks a great captain pick. RVN was quiet but we know he can always do well so I’d say he’s a low ceiling and safe captain pick this week
Blackburn Vs Chelsea

This game looks very tight. Average score is 1.5 - 1.45! Wouldn’t expect much from assets in this game

Also the leak would make it seem very likely that RBD is on the bench so that’s just one thing to look out for

Carbone was the top performer in the sim
Derby vs Boro

Another close call, this time Boro edging it. Average score is 1.25 - 1.5.

No Boksic so we will see 4.5 Whealen get a game...?

Another game where I wouldn’t expect much from assets. Southgate great for bonus so I’d start him if I owned (+ an ok CS chance)
Everton Vs Charlton

Everton could be a team to target here. Good fixture run and home to a repping Charlton!

Graveson, Unsworth & new man Cerritos all look like good buys. Unsworth is my a nice differential captain too as he has a chance for a CS + he’s on pens!
Leeds Vs Ipswich

The leak confirmed Harte (!) & Smith start. This may mean Larsson misses out but not confirmed so I’d start but not captain.

Viduka & Harte are my standout captain picks from this game. Leeds average a 1.7-0.8 win so a CS could be on the cards for Harte
Man City Vs Spurs

Another close game that the home team edges. The City midfield is rotating so I’d only go for Wanchope from City. Rebrov and Selakovic could do ok but I wouldn’t captain personally.
Milwall vs Watford

Milwall have potential to big here as they scored 3 or more in almost half the sims (7/20). Their attackers look good this GW. Watford should score so Hegulson / Petkov are good picks.

Samba 4.5 striker starts! Nice differential for this week
Sunderland Vs Liverpool

Liverpool come out on top but it’s close. No Henchoz for Liverpool.

Not much to target in this game so I’d probably just call this is a “don’t buy, don’t sell”.
Leicester Vs Bolton

Another close game. Don’t think either will get a clean sheet but someone like Gardner could get an attacking returns.

For Jaask I’d be hoping for some saves or bonus.
All my differential captain picks returned last week so hoping for more of the same this GW.

Top 5 differential captain picks:

1. Harte
2. Veron
3. Viduka
4. Unsworth
5. Samba!

Good luck tonight all. Any likes or retweets appreciated ♥️
