Question 1

Should I captain O'Reilly in Gameweek 1?

Accepted Answer

Probably not - there are stronger captaincy options available for Gameweek 1, but here is the case for O'Reilly.  O'Reilly has been out of form recently, averaging just 0.0 pts/game over the last 6 gameweeks. O'Reilly faces Bournemouth (H) in Gameweek 1 - a workable fixture, neither easy nor particularly tough.  At 22.2% ownership, O'Reilly is a popular pick. Missing his points could cost rank.  No injury concerns flagged at the time of writing.  With a tough fixture and modest expected points, O'Reilly is not a captain recommendation this week unless your options are limited.

Should I transfer O'Reilly in before Gameweek 1?

Accepted Answer

It is worth considering, but the case is not as clear-cut as it might appear.  At £6.5m, O'Reilly has registered 5 goals and 4 assists this season for 160 points in total.
