Advice
Captaincy is a big discussion point ahead of the weekend and FPL Fly is endorsing a move for a differential, with negatives against some of the most popular options. Will you stick with a premium?• Salah played 120 mins

• Kane faces City away
• Utd away at Fortress Molineux#GW2 could be the perfect time for a “differential” Captain pick.

Odds
Looking at bookies odds can help to nail down that captain decision. It’s Aubameyang who leads the way for the Gameweek 2 tips, but don’t overlook Salah and Sterling.#GW2 bookies anytime scorer odds % ⚽️

Comparison
Salah and Sterling are likely to be the most popular options for captaincy this weekend. The FPL Prince sets out the pros and cons for each of these premium options, it’s a close call.Salah VS Sterling for captaincy in GW2:
— FPL Prince ? (@TheFPLPrince) August 15, 2019
Sterling
? Hat trick last week
? At home
? Decent record vs top 6
Salah
? Better Fixture
? Southampton conceded 3 to Burnley
? Played 120mins midweek
? Good record vs Southampton
Think I still favour Salah just! #FPL

Chelsea
The Blues were well fancied before the season, but their performance against Manchester United put many off. Physio gives his take after their encouraging Super Cup performance.#FPL THREAD: State of play @ Chelsea.

Injuries
Things go from bad to worse for Liverpool defenders, with Adrian now a doubt for Gameweek 2. Ben Dinnery provides an update, those heavily invested in that defence are concerned.Klopp says Adrian has an ankle problem which was caused by a supporter who invaded the pitch in Istanbul. "Yesterday it was swollen, but we have to see." #LFC
