Leicester travelling to Etihad, London Derby, Everton facing Arsenal calls for an exciting weekend ahead, but not from an FPL manager point of view. FPL GW 18 is an absolute nightmare for managers ahead. It is even more difficult to sort out the FPL Captain choices with the Liverpool Blank. FPL GW 18 is a very tricky one and GW’s like these will decide the course of your season. We are here to help you with the Captain picks for FPL Gameweek 18.
1. Raul Jimenez vs Norwich(A),TSB: 17.8 %, Price: 7.5
Jimenez is our top captain pick for FPL GW 18 ahead of Vardy, Son and Alli. Raul Jimenez is up against Norwich side,who are the second worst side in the league at the moment. Jimenez has racked up 42 points from the last six games. Though his stats has been prolific, he is still not owned by any. This game against Norwich is the best time to steal the spotlight from the usual suspects.
Stat attack:
- Five assists– Most by any forward this season
- Consistent: 42 points in the last seven games, averaging 6 points per week.
- Deadly combo: No two players have combined for more PL games this season than Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore.
- Lethal: Only one blank in the last seven weeks.
- Fresh: No midweek football finally, and is raring to go against Norwich.
2. Marcus Rashford vs Watford(A),TSB: 28%, Price:9.1
Manchester United and Marcus Rashford travel to Vicarage Road after successfully securing their place in Carabao Cup semifinals. Ole Gunnar Solskjær was quick to withdraw Rashford in the EFL Cup game to keep his key player fresh for FPL GW 18 game against Watford. Watford haven’t been strong defensively this season and the script is likely to continue.
Key Stats:
- 10 goals and 4 assists in last 11 games avearging 0.92 goal contributions per 90 minutes.
- Marcus Rashford has scored 14 goals this season – His career best and it is not even Christmas.
- 40 points from the last five games in FPL.
3. Dele Alli vs Chelsea(H),TSB:13.1%,Price: 8.7
Since the arrival of Mourinho,Dele Alli has been in red-hot form as he has been given the free role. Dele Alli simply loves to score against Chelsea as he has scored 5 goals and 2 assists in his last 5 games vs Chelsea. It will be simply a direct two way battle between Alli and Son for FPL GW 18. We suggest you to go with Alli just because of his staggering record against Chelsea and the free role he is given.
4. Jamie Vardy vs Manchester City(A),TSB:51.2%,Price: 10.1%
Vardy has been absolutely clinical this season. Playing Manchester City at Etihad should not be a reason for you to stop captaining him. Vardy loves to scores against big teams,let alone all teams :3 . Manchester City’s back line has not been able to recreate their last season form and it is highly likely they won’t keep a clean sheet.
Key Stat:
Most goals against Man City in Pep Guardiola era :
- Jamie Vardy- 5
- Lionel Messi- 4
- Mo Salah- 4
- Heung-Min Son- 4
