Question 1

Should I captain Barnes in Gameweek 6?

Accepted Answer

It depends - Barnes is a reasonable option but not the obvious armband choice this week.  Barnes's form is moderate at 5.5 pts/game over the last 5 gameweeks. Barnes faces Coventry City (A) in Gameweek 6 - one of the more favourable fixtures this week.  With only 7.5% ownership, Barnes is a genuine differential. A big return here moves you up the overall rankings.  No injury concerns flagged at the time of writing.  The kind fixture gives Barnes an outside chance of a big week even if the numbers do not shout captain.
