Who is the best FPL captain for Double Gameweek 26?

Considering the large number of fixtures in Double Gameweek 26, Fantasy Premier League managers have a wealth of choice for their latest captaincy decision.

But with so many players offering decent potential across their two matches, finding the right recipient for the armband could prove a challenge.

That’s where the Captain Sensible article comes in, using the statistical form of  the key candidates against the most recent defensive showings of their upcoming opponents.

As this uses extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

CAPTAIN POLL

Harry Kane (£11.1m) leads the Double Gameweek 26 Captain Poll with over 30.0% votes from our users. The Tottenham Hotspur striker faces two bottom-six sides in Burnley and Fulham but he has only scored once in his previous four Premier League appearances.

Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) comes second this week, with 15.5% of total votes, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are set to play Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

İlkay Gündoğan (£6.1m) occupies the third place in the poll. However, it will be interesting to see how the results change by Friday evening, as the German international played 90 minutes in Manchester City’s Champions League match midweek.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) sit in fourth and fifth, respectively, while Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) just misses out on this week’s top five.

          I understand. Is a 12.6m player worth it though if your not going to captain in those weeks.
          GW 27 A City player with a DGW
          GW 28 DCL if they get the Villa game put there.

          On the other hand Salah can become Son in 29 .

      I’m definitely keeping.

      Would mean benching Grealish and hoping he’s ok for 29.

          If I move Grealish as much as I like Barnes, think I’ll be getting a player that plays in 29.
          I’m 50/50 what to do. Being aggressive with a hit paid of last week for me.

            Who would you go for then? Most who play twice in 26 don’t play in 29. Son seems the only option but he’s too expensive for me

            If I knew grealish is going to be out for 29 I’d do it but if he’s back then it’d likely be another -4 to transfer him out. Also no Maddison could hurt his chances of getting goals and assists

          Yes, depends on how his team is set for 29. But purely 26-28 Barnes will score more i think. Most of us will have 3 leeds for 29

      I like A. Keep the hits to a minimum and have faith in your Leeds assets. Bench Mee for Lookman.

    So with all the European ties over would like to bb with this team for -4.

    Martinez * areola*
    Digne* dais* cancelo* lowton* dallas
    Son* bruno* gundo* Barnes* raph
    Kane* dcl* bam

    A) Big decision here is to whether transfer out son or salah to get Kane in and I have no fh so need to build towards 29. What's your opinion guys son or Salah to keep?

      Bam-Bam.
      Elmohamady a key weakness in that Villa defense. Expect Raphinha to exploit it.
