<p>With the gameweeks coming thick and fast over this period I will be condensing these articles to purely focus on the aspects around captaincy.</p>
<p>My tip for the week would be to hold your transfer as late as possible. These covid cases are really escalating. I would also vice captain someone from the Tuesday night games once you know for sure the game is going ahead.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Captaincy: How Have we Done to Date?</h2>

<p>It was a successful week for the article. <strong>Ronaldo (£12.5m)</strong> slightly outscored <strong>Salah (£13.1m) </strong>but was that anxiety worth it for the additional point?</p>

<p>The midfielders keep smashing it and it feels like a five-man midfield is the way to go at the moment.</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-41593" class="wp-caption-text">FPL Gameweek 17 Best Captain = Past Performance</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Harry Kane (£12.2m)</strong> – has some record against Leicester, I almost regret selling him. The majority of his goals (8 – including 4 in one game) and both assists were scored away.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Bernardo Silva (£7.6m)</strong> – doesn’t have a huge sample size, but on current form you wouldn’t bet against him.</p>
<p><strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.1m)</strong> – has a reasonable record although all of his returns were picked up in the 18/19 season.</p>
<p><strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.1m</strong>) – has scored four of his five goals against Newcastle at Anfield and that’s also where he picked up his assist.</p>
<p><strong>Reece James (£6.3m)</strong> – is there mainly due to the previous clean sheets (CS), however his attacking threat has improved significantly this season.</p>
<p>The other records aren’t worth talking about.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Members Stats Breakdown - FPL Gameweek 17 Best Captain</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">These stats are taken from the Fantasy Football Hub <strong><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">OPTA tool</a></strong>. They are filtered using the data from the last four Gameweeks.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">With the <strong>Burnley</strong> vs <strong>Spurs</strong> game called off, it means the stats will be thrown off when we use totals. Therefore, I'll be switching to ‘per start’ instead.</p>
