Top Picks/Captaincy Options

Kao Kuo-Hui, Guardians- Kao has been an excellent producer across the board all season, as evidenced by his .318/.360/.636 line that includes 29 extra-base hits (16 doubles, 13 home runs) and 31 RBI. He just compiled 22 Dream11 points against the Monkeys three games ago, and he's further corroborated his fantasy upside with tallies of 18 and 28 Dream11 points in two recent starts.

Lin Li, Monkeys- Lin is always under consideration when he's in the lineup. He's slashing .379/.435/.673 for the season and has an outstanding 36 extra-base hits (13 doubles, three triples, 20 home runs) and 65 RBI. He's also stolen 12 bases and scored 65 runs, making him an excellent all-around fantasy producer that's fit for captain or vice-captain roles. 

Chiang Chih-Hsien, Guardians- Chiang's positive attributes include a .302/.349/.526 line, five doubles, seven home runs and 18 RBI. The veteran also has more power in his bat that what he's shown so far, as he's slugged 30, 21 and 18 home runs in previous seasons. Chiang has also thrived against the Monkeys that last two times he's faced, them posting seven and 12 Dream11 points.

Lee Tsung-Hsien, Guardians- Lee is enjoying a very well-rounded season, posting a .292/.324/.375 line, with all three numbers notably above his career averages. He's added 15 extra-base hits (10 doubles, two triples, three home runs) and 27 RBI, and the same speed that's facilitated the pair of three-baggers has also helped produce 16 stolen bases. Moreover, he has totals of 14, 21, 17 and 19 Dream11 points against the Monkeys in four recent games.
