The Premier League is heating up! As the fixtures start to come in hot, European Football is also to be considered on the agenda. Champions League and Europa League are good sights for football fans, but it gives rotation and injury headaches to FPL Managers. As we continue our journey into FPL GW27, here are some of our picks to wear the armband.
Here are the 5 Captain picks for FPL GW27
- Sadio Mane vs West Ham
- Danny Ings vs Aston Villa
- Riyad Mahrez vs Leicester City
- Raul Jimenez vs Norwich
- Anthony Martial vs Watford
FPL GW27 Premium Captain Pick:
Sadio Mane vs West Ham
Liverpool’s African talisman returned with a bang last week as he scored the only goal against the Canaries. He can be one of the most important picks this week as Liverpool face the Hammers. Coming into this fixture West Ham have drawn two and lost three therefore making them a perfect opponent for our pick of the week.
Sadio Mane in Numbers
- The Senegalese forward has bagged 12 and set up 6 this season.
- Mane has an impressive record of 3 goals and three assists against the Hammers.
- He drew blanks in all three of his games against the Hammers and Southampton, but since then he has become something of a scourge for the Londoners.
Danny Ings vs Aston Villa
At the start of the season, if someone had said that Danny Ings will inspire the Saints to an inspirational run people would have laughed out loud. But, as we head into Game Week 27, the forward has been firing on all cylinders for Ralph and his team. He has proved he can lead the line effectively and be clinical in very rough and tight games. The Saints’ talisman will have to play a major role if they want to secure all three points at St Mary’s when Jack Grealish and his team rock up this week.
Ings in Numbers
- Southampton are unbeaten in their last 6 meetings against Villa.
- Danny Ings has a total of 3 blocks, 26 arial duels and a total number of 55 tackles.
- Ings has the most BP in FPL (28).
- He has 15 goals and a total of 27 shots on goals. This results in a goal conversion rate of 25.42%. He has had a total of 34 big chances.
FPL GW27 Captain Options:
Riyad Mahrez vs Leicester City
The Algerian is expected to start this week and he will be fired up to be on the scoresheet against his former team. Riyad had a blinder in the reverse fixture. The right-winger stuck to the edge of the sideline and bullied Ben Chilwell. He was on fire cutting in and out leaving the Leicester defenders for dead. As he didn’t start against West Ham, we can expect him to start and have a similar outcome.
Riyad Mahrez in Numbers
- Riyad Mahrez has created 21 chances and bagged 7 goals for the Citizens
- He also has 7 assists that gives him a grand total of 14 goal involvements in all competitions.
- Riyad has a pass completion rate of 85.91% and a rate of 30 % for passes into the box which is outrageous when we consider how deep opposition play against City
Raul Jimenez vs Norwich : FPL GW27 Captain Pick
One Game Week doesn’t pass by without us mentioning the Wolves striker. He has been a revelation this season producing insane numbers and giving his 100% in all games. With Norwich, the worst defensive side as his opponents in FPL GW27, he has a chance of bagging quite a few. Wolves currently sit in the top of half of the table giving them a good chance for having a shot at Champions League for next season.
Jimenez in numbers
- Raul has 11 goals and a total of 30 shots on goals.
- This results in a goal conversion rate of 13.92% and has a total of 36 big chances.
- Raul has also set up 6 goals for his team. Traore and Raul are one of the deadliest pair this season.
- He has played 12 key passes and has created a total of 18 chances.
