Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Double Gameweek 30+?

Manchester City are the focus of the Double Gameweek 30+ captain poll.

Their assets have dominated the discussion boards for weeks since the fixtures were announced, and now it is time to make the big decision.

We’ve compared all the best options to help you chose the right one for your team…

Captain Poll

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) is the current poll leader heading into today’s deadline, backed by 40.1% of voters.

With two matches and more minutes than any other outfield Manchester City asset this season, that is not a massive surprise at all.

The Belgian is top of the league for assists in 2019/20, with a total of 18, and his eight goals so far this campaign already matches his best tally in a Premier League season.

Not too far behind him is Sergio Aguero (£11.8m), who has garnered the support of 33.9% for the very same fixtures as De Bruyne.

The Argentinian has five goals in his last six against Arsenal and the same number in his last six against Burnley. He also started seven of the last nine matches before lockdown, suggesting that Pep Guardiola still favours him over Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m).

The gap between those two Manchester City options and the rest of the pack is rather large.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m) has come up in third place but still only managed to pull in the support of 6.2% of voters.

The Arsenal man is generally afforded more minutes than the average Manchester City asset, although there is a tight turnaround between fixtures in Double Gameweek 30+.

Either way, he is still in the Golden Boot race with 17 goals this season, two behind Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) and, if he were to bridge the 15-point gap between him and the Leicester man, he would be in with a chance of being the top-scoring FPL forward for two seasons in a row.

Jack Grealish (£6.4m) is a surprise inclusion in the top five for the poll results, but support for the Aston Villa man is understandable. He has 14 attacking returns this season, more than any colleague.

Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) completes the top five with the backing of 4.7%. We imagine the support for him is so small on account of his rotation threat and his poor form going into lockdown.

His last attacking return came in Gameweek 19 with his tally for the season standing at 13. The last two seasons have seen Sterling get up to 35 and 32 respectively, showing just how much of a struggle 2019/20 has been for him.

    Good luck everyone tonight, great to be back!

    Final question and then I’m stepping away from mine:

    A) Auba - Cantwell
    B) Rashford - Maddi

    1. McSlu
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B long term, A for this GW

      A

    3. KunDogan

      A

  2. sambyy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A) Saka + Auba or
    B) Sterling + Nketiah?

    1. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Sharkytect

      B

  3. Alli
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Rate this BB team. Also have WC and FH.

    Hendo - Leno
    TTA - Lund - Egan - Lascelles - Kelly
    Sterling - KDB - Grealish - Douglas Luiz - Cantwell
    Kun - Auba - Jimé

    Mainly worried about Kelly.

    1. Alli
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Jimé > Tammy and Kelly > Targett?

  4. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Who is the top SGW player to own?

    1. dmcqt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Your pick of Chelsea players.

    2. The VAR Team
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Jim apparently

    3. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I think Pukki could be a good pick

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Jimmy, Doherty, Alonso if he plays OOP

    5. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      TAA/Mane/Salah or possibly Chelsea/Wolves

    6. The Dead Parrots
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Tammy Abraham

  5. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    better pick on my FH:

    A) Jota
    B) Tammy

    have doherty if that helps at all, no other chels

    1. boroie
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. StellaMan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Same issue with me - toying to go with Tammy

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        likewise, leaning towards Tammy

    3. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Had Jota in original side moved to Tammy also have Doherty.

  6. Deeney-is-a-god
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    are those rumours about fleck not playing true? Saw something on here last night

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No one knows for sure yet. Just wait and see I guess.

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        ok, thanks. Will not take the risk since that redditor has a good track record of getting things right I think

  7. some witty pun
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Here's my BB team, is it just plain stupid or could it work out? I have triple City, Aston Villa and Sheffield Utd

    Kepa - Henderson
    Stevens - Lundstram - Doherty - Soyuncu - Lascelles
    Sterling(C) - KDB - Grealish - McGinn - El Ghazi
    Aguero - Jimenez - Abraham

  8. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Which player would you rather have among these on a FH?

    A) Firmino (eve)
    B) Jimenez (whu)
    C) Abraham (avl)

    ?

    1. StellaMan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      C

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      B

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B
      Though I have Jota, as need the money

    5. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B or C if you can use the extra funds to good effect elsewhere as not much in it what with Tammy's away record and fact he plays Villa?

  9. Typo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Help me Pick 2 (have Tammy):

    A: Barnes
    B: Sarr
    C: Mount

    Thanks

  10. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Keep coming back to this BB team:

    Henderson, Leno
    TAA, Stevens, Baldock, Doherty, Lascelles
    Kdb, Mahrez, Grealish, Saka, McGinn
    Aguero, Auba, Jimenez

    Doubts are:

    McGinn - will he play enough when eased back from injury, or worth downgrading Baldock to Lundstram/Egan to get El Ghasi, and Lascelles to Targett?

    Saka - better keep Cantwell?
    Mahrez - worth Doherty/Jimmy to Saiss/Jota to get Sterling instead?

    Guess you all have the same battles, good luck!

    1. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I like your changes to get sterling

  11. Delph & Safety
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    anyone else who has BB/FH/WC deciding to free hit this week so not forced into a quick wildcard next week?

    I know unlimited transfers may be a gift but extra info and data could be crucial in making the most of the last run of games.

    1. The VAR Team
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      o/

      1. The VAR Team
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        You don't really miss out on free transfers if you already fixed your team during lockdown

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Extra info could make a better use of FH if played later than the 1st week after a 3 month break...

      1. The VAR Team
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I think WC is more valuable with additional info as it lasts for weeks

      2. Delph & Safety
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I also like the idea of a GW38 FH but the WC is by far the most powerful chip. Playing it next week just seems far too rash.

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      FH assess teams, then use either BB, TC, WC when appropriate

      1. Delph & Safety
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Yep, not too worried about selecting a GW for BB - I've never used it and got any more than around 13 points anyway. City will be the big winners this week I reckon and I can't see too much from elsewhere.

      2. The Dead Parrots
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Doing this also Steve. Got lots of value tied in likes of TAA, Salah, Jimenez who I still want over next few weeks.

    4. The Dead Parrots
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yes I am doing this. Don't want to lose a ton of value on players I want back (over 1m!) and think WC will be more effective later in the season once Liverpool sow title up and landscape changes. Can also build towards a BB by spreading Liverpool funds later.

  12. The VAR Team
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Any major news since yesterday throwing our plans out the window?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      O'Connell looks to be out

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Where's that news? Blades defence is a unit - take one out and the rest is iffy.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      O'Connell out for SHU. Fleck could also be.

      1. The VAR Team
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers! Just gotta wait for a Lundstram leak then 😉

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Very similar to mine, me Baldock & Jimmy

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        You must have a great TV I’m well short of Jimenez if I want Doherty and TAA in there

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Extremely good.

      Mine is same dgwplayers chore but different and maybe stupid but i squeezed Salah in for Jota

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I wish I could swap Jota for Salah 😉

  15. FredrikH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Targett or Federico Fernández? No WC left, so leaning towards the latter.

  16. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    FH team good to go?

    Leno

      Lundtram now nailed?

      1. FC Bazalona
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Not nailed , had fleck in a 3-4-3 but possible news flecks out gonna wait on possible leaked team news and make a late gamble

    Or,
    B)Nketiha + Son + Grealish

    1. After Supper Ghost Stories
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Probaby A is safer; can't squeeze Grealish in?

  22. After Supper Ghost Stories

    Help please.

      Sterling choice

    2. dbeck

      i like it

  24. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    1. Leno, Moutinho, Auba
    2. McCarthy, Salah, Nketiah

    Have been on 1 all week, but now thinking that Salah v Everton has more upside than Auba, and might want him back in 31 anyway.

    Ederson xxx
    Lund Egan Basham TAA Lascelles
    xxx KDB Bruno Grealish Luiz

    Here's another FH RMT which I expect no replies to

    Hendo
    Baldock Lundstram Doherty
    KDB (C) Sterling Pepe Grealish
    Aguero Auba Samatta

    Bench - Lascelles plus fodder

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure on Samatta. Otherwise rock solid.

    2. After Supper Ghost Stories
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Like it - we don't know how teams are going to perform under the new circumstances is the only problem - bit like week 1 all over. You don't fancy any single GW players other than Doherty?

      1. Cookie Kid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Ah thanks for the replies.

        I'm not sure on Samatta either 🙂

        I do like Jimenez and Abraham and could replace Samatta, would mean downgrading Doherty to Saiss which I may do. As it's a free hit I want to really go for it which is why Pepe is there which has meant taking out the likes of TAA!

  26. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    How’s this for a BB team?
    Next week I will spend -4 and get 2 of Mane, Bruno, Son, or Kane by selling 2 City players.
    WC in gw33.
    FH in the bank because it’s all a bit hazy!!

    Reina, McCarthy
    TAA, Lund, Egan, Lascelles, Doherty
    Salah, Mahrez, Grealish, KDB, Mount
    Kun, Nketiah, Jiminez

    What do you think?
