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.

    6 years, 1 day ago

    BB, FH31, WC33

    Leno / Ederson

    Stevens / TAA / Dogherty / Lund / Cahill

    Doug Luiz / Norwood / Grealish / KDB / Mount

    Auba / Aguero / Jimenez

    Any thoughts? Could downgrade TAA (lose 0.4m) and upgrade Cahill to PVA and Norwood to Sarr

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Good team. I don't think it's worth losing that value over those players...

  2. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Pick 1 for this week only?

    A. Alonso
    B. Mount
    C. Doherty

    1. Srv210
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Doherty...

    2. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      C

  3. seanie3
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Best combo for this GW only

    A) Jimi and Mahrez
    B) nketiah and sterling

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Mahrez > Sterling

      1. Earlyriser21
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        A)
        Mahrez > Sterling
        Jimi> Nketiah

      2. seanie3
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Can’t do that due to funds hence my question on those exact options

  4. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    BB team. Still have WC and free hit left. Thoughts?

    Leno Henderson
    TAA Stevens Baldock Boly Lascelles
    Salah KDB Fernandez Özil McGinn
    Rashford Jimenez Nketiah

    1. Adsequor
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Wouldn't go with 2 Utd players against Spurs.
      Fernandes out for Mahrez and get him back next week.

  5. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Current team dilemma..

    Hendo (McCarthy)

    TAA - Alonso - Stevens (Fernandez, Williams)

    KDB - Salah - Fernandes - Barnes (Hayden)

    Jimmy - Ings - Auba

    I have my FH Available and obviously unlimited transfers this week, am I better FH'ing to a lot of DGW players, or just making some transfers this week?

  6. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    For this week only

    A) Egan, Basham, Mount, Cantwell
    B) Baldock, Lund, McGinn, Cantwell
    C) Egan, Lund, Mount, Douglas Luiz

    1. linkafu
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      B

      1. KUNingas
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks.

    2. Johno99
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      C probably

    3. D.Glynn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      B I think

  7. Distinctly Average
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Morning all!
    I have no WC to use, BB, TC and FH still in tact.
    Current pre-38 team:
    Leno, Pope
    AWB, Maguire, O’Connell, Egan, Boly
    Grealish, Salah, KDB, Saka, Bruno
    Vardy, Jimenez, DCL
    Considering FH this week and starting again with the team above for 31 onwards – how does this look?

  8. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Auba or Sterling a higher priority for this week only?

    1. sthelenslad92
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Sterling

    2. michudagawd
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Auba I think as he is a more clinical finisher.

      1. gryffsonofarthur
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Both

    3. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Auba. Sure of playing both the games. And you can go for Mahrez, a more explosive option than Sterling!

  9. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Hey fam! Thoughts on this BB team? No WC left!

    Pope Reina
    TAA Lundy Egan Saiss Lascelles
    Salah KDB Mahrez Mount Fleck/Norwood
    Auba Jesus Nketiah

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Maharez and Jesus just made me puke a bit..

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        What? Why? Hahaha

    2. How I met your Mata
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Rumours are reina isn't 1st choice
      and would go cantwell as 5th mid
      rest looks good

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Let's see if we get any early team news. Cheers mate!

  10. michudagawd
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Do all mini-leagues on FPL just carry on as normal now after the restart?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Except h2h leagues

      1. michudagawd
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Thanks.

  11. Typo
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    RMBBT: 1-10

    Leno
    Egan, Stevens, Lundstram
    KDB, Sterling, Grealish, Mount
    Aguero, Jimenez, Abraham

    Reina, Mount, Taa, Saiss

    9 DGW players, and I feel the SGW players can deliver, and the BB is nice.

    Will FH gw 31 and WC gw33.

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Mount playing 2x

      1. Typo
        • 12 Years

        Ah, Barnes/mount

  12. Jeremy Corbyn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Bottomed.
    A) Bellerin, Pepe, Samatta
    B) Targett, Ozil, Lacazette

    1. gryffsonofarthur
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      A

    2. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      or C) Bellerin, Ozil, Jimenez

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        C

      2. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        That's better

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      A if any

    4. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I don't like any of those options

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Alternatives?

    5. linkafu
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      B

  13. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Option A: free hit and then allow my team to revert to it's previous configuration and value. Keeping my w/c and bench boost for later.

    Henderson
    Doherty Lundstram D.Luiz Egan
    KDB Sterling Grealish Fernandes
    Aguero Aubameyang

    Option B: use free transfers and bench boost, which will probably then require a free hit or wildcard in gw31+

    Henderson Leno
    Doherty Lundstram Egan Targett Saiss
    KDB Sterling Grealish Mount Saka
    Aguero Aubameyang Jota

  14. sthelenslad92
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Don't have BB or FH. What do you think?

    Leno
    TAA – Doherty – Egan
    KDB – Grealish – Mount – Saka
    Aubameyang – Aguero – Jimenez
    (Button, Fernandes, Lascelles, AWB)

    1. linkafu
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      GTG maybe Fernandez over Mount for me

  15. Mattymo23
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Really want Sterling but have 0.5mil tied up in Mane. Will be WCing next week so do I pull trigger and get in Sterling for Mane even though I will get Mane straight back?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I wouldn't (cue 25 pointer for Raz)

    2. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Try making a draft based on the players you'd want and see if you'd need the 0.5 or not.

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      That my friend is a decision only you can make. It's really tough

  16. How I met your Mata
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Am I G2G with BB

    Leno McCarthy

    Targett Trent Aarons Egan Lund

    Bruno Mahrez Saka KDB Grealish

    Aguero Jota Auba

    Will wildcard next week
    cheers

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Envious

  17. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    How is she looking for BB?

    Dubravka McCarthy
    TAA Doherty Lascelles Targettx2 Mingsx2
    Salah(c) Fernandes Mane(vc) Pepex2 Grealishx2
    Rashford Jota Nketiahx2

    Hopefully all the x2 brings me loads of points (hides behind the sofa)

    1. Srv210
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Sheffield defender instead of villa would be better

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      All your x2 seem a bit underpowered

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Might work, might not. DGW's always a tricky situation. Decided to go completely different. There is as much risk doubling or tripling up on City.

  18. NUFCAndrew
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Hi all I’ve been out the loop. Quick question, no WC but FH & BB intact, what should I do with this mess?

    McCarthy Foster

    Trent VVD Maguire Boly Taylor

    Salah KDB Sarr Barnes Cantwell

    Auba Jimi DCL

    1. Distinctly Average
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Trying to figure out the same myself!

  19. Teror
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Sterling better choice than Aguero because he's not as old and threatened by Jesus rotation?

    Thoughts on going with no Liv mids? Title almost sewn up, are they really going to haul very much in the future?

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I don't think so, Kun is so productive when he does play

    2. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I'm keeping Liverpool mids until they win and we know how they line up after that. This game was about 3x Liverpool players before break.

    3. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I'm going with Jesus Mahrez & KDB. It's risky but we'll see! And you need one of Salah/Mane until they wrap up the league!

    4. linkafu
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Hope so

  20. kime67
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Are we worried about kdb minutes

  21. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Bottomed, someone please help!

    Current team dilemma..

    Hendo (McCarthy)

    TAA - Alonso - Stevens (Fernandez, Williams)

    KDB - Salah - Fernandes - Barnes (Hayden)

    Jimmy - Ings - Auba

    I have my FH Available and obviously unlimited transfers this week, am I better FH'ing to a lot of DGW players, or just making some transfers this week?

  22. moz_1983
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Fleck and JOC reportedly out of the Blades team for tonight, according to an ITK on the Reddit FPL page.

  23. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    How's this for BB (wc next gw):

    Leno / Ederson
    TAA / Stevens / Egan / Lundstram / Saiss
    Grealish / KdB / Mount / Fernandes / Cantwell
    Auba / Aguero / Nketia

    Have 2.2 itb to upgrade someone. WHO?

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      upgrade nketiah maybe? - No love for samatta?

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        Cheers. Well, I don't know... he's been in a couple of drafts, but Nketiah lets me do more with my money. Based on Arteta's statements, and playing the friendlies during the break, I think it's worth a gamble. Especially considering that Villa don't exactly produce goals on an industrial level.

        I ended up upgrading Saiss to Doherty btw! Saw that Pukki hasn't scored in about 6 gameweeks or so before the break. It's a long time ago, but it's all the data we have.

        1. Astronautovic
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          yes nketiah can be a good shout. With 5 subs he will for sure feature in both games. Doherty has a big goal threat so could be worth it. Good luck for the upcoming GW mate.

  24. Bruno Commando
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    After 30+, which of these lot would you prefer to have?

    A) Team BB (leaving me with a pretty strong bench): Leno // Lunds // Grealish // Cantwell // Mount // Aguero
    B) Reverted team after FH: McCarthy // Lascelles // Salah // Mooy // Hayden // Rashford

    Rest of team:
    Pope // _____
    AWB // TAA // Saiss // Egan // _____
    KDB // Bruno // _____ // _____ // ______
    Auba // Jimenez // _____

  25. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Read a few rumours on here yesterday that O'Connell could be out?

    A) Ederson, O'Connell & Cantwell (3 SHU)
    B) Ederson, Saiss & Cantwell (2 SHU)
    C) Ederson, Lundstram & Doug Luiz (3 SHU)
    D) Henderson, Walker & Doug Luiz (3 SHU)

    Currently on A, thinking C. Current BB Team:

    Ederson
    Basham, Egan, O'Connell, TAA
    KDB, Grealish, Salah, Fernandes
    Aguero, Aubameyang

    (McCarthy, Nketiah, Lascelles, Cantwell)

    Cheers.

  26. emorybortz
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Ederson or Laporte for Man City defensive coverage you think? Basically comes down to security of starts vs points ceiling right?

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      I'm on Ederson as of now. Laporte's been out a while

    2. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Yes, I went Ederson, if I wanted to take a risk I’d rather have Mahrez as my 3rd City option

  27. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    I'm wondering if Pep might start KDB in that 'quarterback' type role till he gets fully match fit.....

    1. POLSKA GOLA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Anything’s possible with Pep, he could also start KDB behind the striker like he did at the Emirates

  28. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    After those Pep fitness comments Im tepted to get Mahrez, Sterling and KdB and drop Kun.

    A) Reina, Sterling(C), Mahrez, Nketiah

    B) Ederson, Saka, Mount and Kun (C)

    Which one sounds better?

    1. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      What did he say?

      1. Strchld
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 day ago

        "Sterling, Bernardo [Silva], Riyad [Mahrez] and Kyle [Walker], these kind of players they take the physical condition quick because it is normal, and I think they have more opportunities to stay longer during the game."

        1. POLSKA GOLA
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 day ago

          Bilva could be the ultimate differential

  29. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    OK bear with me people,

    I'm bench boosting and I have no wildcard... I don't play Arsenal players so can have a max of nine double gameweekers, but of course without my wildcard I have to try and think long term too. I've managed eight. I plan to sell Henderson next week to raise cash for GW32+ when I'll upgrade Samatta or maybe Fleck and play 3-5-2. That means playing Samata against NEW which doesn't seem to be the end of the world.

    Considering all this, and I realise it's a bit to think about about so absolutely any thoughts much appreciated.....

    please RMT:

    Ederson (Hendo)
    TAA VVD Doherty (Saiss Egan)
    KDB Bruno F. Grealish H.Barnes (Fleck)
    Kun (c) Jimi Samatta

    Thanks!

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      In same boat. Like the team - rumours of Fleck benched/injured

    2. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Thanks for the heads up...

  30. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 day ago

    Boly or saiss? Can’t afford Doherty

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Saiss more attacking and cheaper of course

    2. Bob B
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 day ago

      Boly
