<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>FPL Gameweek 23 Captain Recap</strong></h2>
<p>Before we delve into the FPL Gameweek 24 Captain Decision, it’s important to cast our eye back to last week.</p>
<p><strong>Saturday – 18 January 2020</strong></p>
<p>Spurs finally slowed Watford’s excellent run since Pearson took over, although it took a penalty save and the loss of <strong>Sarr</strong> will hurt them.  <strong>Fleck</strong> continued to impress, as <strong>Lundstram</strong> looks to be fading.  Both <strong>Trossard</strong> and <strong>Grealish</strong> impressed for the fourth midfielder slot, but honours were even in the relegation battle.  City did their best to throw the title away with a shock draw, as Pep trolled us again, but <strong>Aguero</strong> was the one positive and he’s on fire.  Norwich absolutely dominated a 10 man Bournemouth, but both sides look like Championship teams at the moment. Southampton somehow threw away a two goal lead, shockingly <strong>Ings</strong> wasn’t involved in any of them. <strong>Jimenez</strong> and <strong>Traore</strong> punished several managers that benched or sold them.  Honours were even between West Ham and Everton after <strong>DCL</strong> maintained his excellent run.  Finally, Newcastle did an absolute smash and grab on Chelsea stealing the game in the last minute.</p>
<p><strong>Sunday – 19 January 2020</strong></p>
<p>After a dismal Saturday several were hoping their Leicester assets would do them proud, but sadly Leicester appear to have lost their mojo conceding again and <strong>Vardy</strong> returned a big fat zero after Pope saved his penalty.  On a different week that would have been a goal and max bonus points, so I wouldn’t beat yourself up over the outcome.  Finally, Liverpool kept another <strong>Clean Sheet</strong> (CS) with a lovely assist by <strong>TAA</strong> for a <strong>VVD </strong>goal (which we would like to see more of for this Gameweek) and a <strong>Salah</strong> goal.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Who did I tip?</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Vardy (0) –</strong> as mentioned above, if he would have scored the penalty that would be an 8-9 point return and everyone would be happy.  I still believe it was the right decision and the outcome doesn’t change that.  I am concerned by his lack of shots recently though.</p>
<p><strong>Aguero (13)</strong> – I know KDB was the summary leader, however, I did indicate that I would prefer one of the support cast over him.  This is cherry picking a little though as Sterling blanked, Jesus got four and Mahrez one.</p>
<p><strong>Ings</strong> <strong>(2)</strong> – I’m still in shock that Southampton scored twice without him being involved..</p>
<p><strong>DCL (8) and Grealish (10)</strong> – it looks like the punts are the way forward at the moment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>How have we done to date?</strong></h3>
<p>I did an analysis of my picks over the season to date to compare with the top poll choice:</p>
<div id="attachment_18442" style="width: 686px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18442" class=" wp-image-18442" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/CAP-GW24-Past-Performance.jpg" alt="" width="676" height="443" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-18442" class="wp-caption-text">Captaincy Gameweek 24 - Past Performance</p>
</div>
<p>The second pick extended the lead over the top pick, which indicates that this might be a good route to take for those that are chasing, as it will be more of a differential choice without being an absolute punt.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>What did we learn?</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Leicester</strong> <strong>Lull</strong> – something isn’t right at the moment, as both their defence and attack don’t seem to be working very well.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t get tunnel vision</strong> – double Gameweeks are amazing, but don’t tunnel in on them and lose focus on other great opportunities. <strong>Aguero</strong> is a classic example of this, but also players like <strong>Traore</strong> and <strong>Jimenez</strong>.</p>

<h3><strong>Double Gameweek 24 fixtures are the reverse of Gameweek 20, here’s what happened last time:</strong></h3>
<p>These were all fairly tight games, so it might be quite a low scoring week if we're expecting a similar affair.</p>

<h3><strong>Twitter FPL Gameweek 24 Captain Poll</strong></h3>
<p>Who do our Twitter followers think is the best FPL Gameweek 24 captain?</p>

<h3><strong>Old Hunting Ground – do any of the likely lads have a good history vs their opposition?</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_18461" style="width: 597px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18461" class=" wp-image-18461" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/CAP-GW24-History.jpg" alt="" width="587" height="446" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-18461" class="wp-caption-text">Captaincy Gameweek 24 - Player History</p>
</div>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Based on the above, it looks like <strong>Mane</strong> has a slight edge over <strong>Salah</strong> who interestingly scores the same as <strong>TAA</strong>.  There’s not much between <strong>Robertson</strong> and <strong>VVD</strong>, which could be a useful cost-saving and <strong>Firmino</strong> looks to be quite a punt.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Incidentally, none of <strong>Mane’s</strong> returns against Wolves have come Away from Home and he’s only scored a single goal Away against West Ham, although he has picked up two assists.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Salah, </strong>on the other hand, returned a goal and an assist Away to Wolves last season and he’s scored two goals Away at West Ham too.</p>
