Question 1

Should I captain Mainoo in Gameweek 1?

Accepted Answer

Probably not - there are stronger captaincy options available for Gameweek 1, but here is the case for Mainoo.  Mainoo has been out of form recently, averaging just 0.0 pts/game over the last 6 gameweeks. Mainoo faces Hull City (A) in Gameweek 1 - one of the more favourable fixtures this week.  With only 1.3% ownership, Mainoo 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 Mainoo an outside chance of a big week even if the numbers do not shout captain.

Question 2

Should I transfer Mainoo in before Gameweek 1?

Accepted Answer

It is worth considering, but the case is not as clear-cut as it might appear.  At £5.5m, Mainoo has registered 1 goal and 2 assists this season for 73 points in total. Mainoo has been out of form recently, averaging just 0.0 pts/game over the last 6 gameweeks.  Mainoo faces Hull City (A) in Gameweek 1 - one of the more favourable fixtures this week.

Is Mainoo worth £5.5m in FPL?
