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.

      B, how confident are you on Saka starts?

    Pick one please

    A) Ederson and Targett
    B) Reina and Walker
    c) Reina and Otame

    1. FPL_DON
      • 11 Years

      A, out of those

    2. eamonhegg
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yep thats what i currently have. Safest option and 360minutes hopefully

  3. GUSFRING
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Are people losing their value on Liverpool players then?

    1. FPL_DON
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sadly

    2. eamonhegg
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Only salah. Kept Mane and TAA. They usually out score double game week players anyway

    3. The Legend Squad
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Using my FH for this reason.

  4. FPL_DON
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I really can't shake the feeling that Auba isn't worth it this GW, is anyone else going without??

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going with Salah over Auba

      1. Heres hoping x 7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Same. Auba wont get 180 minutes and dont fancy them against City

        1. Pukki Party
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Same reasons, took a punt on Nketiah though after Artetas comments.

          1. FPL_DON
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Thinking of doing the same mate

      2. FPL_DON
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah i prefer Mane and Salah over him

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He probably isn’t but he’s easily the best arsenal asset to have for the DGW plus he has a couple of decent fixtures after

      1. FPL_DON
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, the fixtures after are definitely a factor.

        Any love for Nketiah?

        1. Danstoke82
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Nketiah not for me. Cannot seeing him starting so too much of a rotation risk. I’ve already gone out on a limb with Saka as it is

          1. FPL_DON
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            fair play mate, good luck!

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The only Arsenal player I would consider. Good away record and even City is not very solid in defense. So, one opportunity and it could be in from him.
      more so, since he is awaiting a salary bargain for a new contract, he's got to show what he offers.

  5. Pukki Party
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.7 defender for this week only?

    Currently on Boly.

    A) Boly
    B) Fernandez
    C) Dan Burn
    D) Someone else

    1. FPL_DON
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Fernandez or Boly

    3. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers both

    4. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Isnt Boly 4.8?

  6. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is KDB on pens ?? thanks

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        thanks

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Although when Aguero isn't on the pitch he's probably next in line

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            ok. good enough to captain aguero in my books 🙂 cheers

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Kun, Mahrez and even Gundogan and Sterling before him in the list I would guess

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        cheers

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      judging by the latest events i would say he is. All the others have missed and he took the last one and scored. If they are up 3-0 it might be Kun as he wants to win Golden boot. But if 0-0 or 1-0 lead my guess is KDB

  7. Heres hoping x 7

    RMT:

    Constructive criticism welcomed. BB this week WC next

    2. CostaCoffee

      Saka, Nketiah, Lundy, Traore all rotation risks. Not sure thats what you want on a BB

    3. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Solid, how confident on Saka are you?

      1. Heres hoping x 7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Not overly, between him and Cantwell and flip of a coin basically

  8. Orion

    Have a question re Bruno Fernandes

    1. If I bring him into my FH GW31 team, will I catch any of his probable price rises? Only because I plan to bring him in after this DGW regardless and don’t want to be priced out of a move later.

    2. If I use a FT on him for GW31 but then hit the FH chip say the day after will he disappear out of my team in GW32 even though id have used my 1FT on him before I hit the FH a day after?

    Apologies but it was the Best way I could describe what I was trying to ask you guys and girls. Thanks in advance.

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Regardless of above, if you bring Bruno in on a FH you lose him the week after and will most likely cost you more the week after to buy.

    2. Pukki Party

      1. No
      2. Yes

    2. Pep Pig
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Both exciting offers. If you have a couple of Villa players I'd opt for A..... otherwise B for me

    3. CostaCoffee

      A

    4. El-Kloppico

      B

  17. Pep Pig
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I am set to use BB30, FH31 and WC33 mate. I know a few fictitious rumours went around yesterday but the Fleck omission seems quite legit and he may miss tonight's game. With that in mind, I pondered the options around his price. I actually had 5.1m available and it was a no-brainer for me.... I welcomed Phil Foden into the squad.

    He played 90 mins in Man City's last league game in GW29 and he also started against Arsenal at the Emirates. Pep's comments (about the obvious rotation) yesterday made more confident about Foden as a pick. At just 5.1m I'd take 75-90 mins out of the 2 games all day long. This would be much harder to take for the premium players on offer.
    I also opted for Jack Stephens to keep Norwich at bay. I was tempted with Lascalles but this way gives me one player from Friday's games

    1. Miro
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can you post a link for the Fleck rumours ?

        As always, trust your own feeling if you have any doubts at all.

        1. Miro
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, I'll probably avoid then.

  18. gers23

    Stupid to take the risk in going Pulisic over Mount?

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Could definitely pay off. Pulisic likely to start as CHO has had a knock, but Lampard has apparently given Mount and RLC minutes on the left during friendlies so could possibly play one on the wing in order to play both

    Morning all,

    Looking at a Wolves double up.

      I’ve gone B, see below...

      Jota was in form before the break, hoping he is in the right place at the right time again

      Doherty obvs has good attack potential too

  20. trinzoo

    I need to chase so a little different:

    Leno / Henderson
    Doherty / PVA / Lascelles / Lundi / Baldock
    Sterling / KDB / Grealish / Mount / Barnes
    Auba(C) / Jesus / Nketiah

  21. In Carrick we trust

    Morning people, well thank god football is back, this is my team, is there anything you'd change? Thank it looks pretty decent,

    Leno
    Taa, doherty, baldock
    Kdb, Salah, fernandes, grealish
    Aguero, jota, nketiah

    Bench, button, cantwell, lascelles, ake

    Played all my chips so this team is to do me, hence why I didn't overflood my team with Sheffield United players, good for this game week maybe not so much in the up coming weeks

  22. MikeNash404
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    On a knifes edge on who to pick for my triple captain. Aguero or KDB? Thoughts?

  23. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Right, ive seen a few random things about SHU team sheet. Currently got Baldock and Stevens in my FH team. Is this too risky?

  24. GoingUpUpUp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I have all the chips left. Pretty happy with my pre break team bar maybe one or two players.

    Q. Using the free transfers available, can i do some of this now to tidy up a few bits, then play my free hit for this week, or does the restart free transfers remove the ability to use freest chip?

    1. GoingUpUpUp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Answered my own question in case anyone interested...

      "However, those who choose to play their Free Hit chip must be aware that they cannot also use their unlimited transfers for Gameweek 30+"
