It is back to basics for Fantasy Premier League managers in Gameweek 28 as we face the first round without Doubles since Gameweek 23.

However, it must be said that the captaincy conversation has been thrown wide open by this week’s fixtures.

Manchester City face a Fulham defence that has improved in recent months, Liverpool are out of form, Manchester United face a West Ham side gunning for Europe while Spurs prepare for a north London derby.

As ever, the Captain Sensible article is here to help with your Gameweek 28 captaincy decision. 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 (£11.3m, 26.5% of votes) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m, 24.2%) are the leaders in this week’s poll, combining for over 50.0% of our users’ votes.

Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m, 8.5%) has been voted third this week, although with the Belgian international now having started in each of City’s previous five league games, this number could drop by Saturday morning due to rotation fears.

Ilkay Gungodan (£6.2m, 4.9%) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m, 4.2%) close out the top five.

KEY MATCHES

    Thoughts?

    Martinez
    Cancelo Shaw Rud
    Salah KDB Gundo Raph
    Kane DCL Watkins

    McCarthy Barnes Dallas Dier 0.6 itb

    Roll transfer for 2FT for 29? (no FH)

    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any suggestions? Preferably needs GW29 players with a game.
    2FT, 0.8 ITB

    Martinez, Areola,

    Shaw Stones Cancelo rudiger
    Salah gund son Fernandes
    Kane Watkins

    Subs: Rafinha Bam Dallas

    0.2 2FT

    Is burning a FT the best option?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like Kane got a lot more from this game than Son. It's almost inconceivable!

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

  17. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    On this kind of form, you kinda just gotta get him and captain him...

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone will captain him now

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Annoying

      2. Tinkermania
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not everyone. We don't all chase last EL points when we play fpl 😉

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, cos he’s been crap in the
          Prem

          1. Tinkermania
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            You said ''everyone will captain him now'' after he scored the 2nd goal 😀

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Yes. The great form over many games continues... I don’t see your point

              1. Tinkermania
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I know you don't. If you did you wouldn't have replied. That's fine.

                1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Cool haha! I’m just explaining how you are wrong and that it will be based on a number of good games and not just the EL. The second goal just continues the good run, not just in EL.

  18. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one from each grp:
    a) Rudiger
    b) Dawson

    1) Bamford
    2) Raphinha

  19. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Coady + Saka
    B) Aina + Raphina?

    1. ASOUSA12
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A for long term and if you don’t need them for 29

  20. mezza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane autocaptain for next few

  21. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How did Son look before he came off? Simply rotated out or was he ineffective or injured?

  22. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who is optimum captain choice this GW?

  23. wolves_simmo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    2 FTs 0.1itb...what to do? (No FH left for 29)

    Johnstone - Button
    Cancelo - Dias - Maguire - Dallas - Targett
    Son - Salah - Bruno - Gundog - Raphina
    Bamford - Kane - Watkins

    1. ASOUSA12
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Use 1 FT
      Johnstone -> Sanchez / Areola
      Maguire -> Dawson / Coufal / Cresswell

  24. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Worth giving Salah one more week or get Bale?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm holding for one more week and then getting rid for either Auba or Bale in 29, Liverpool still playing somewhat alright when not at Anfield.

    2. ASOUSA12
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hold

  25. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

  26. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    The answer to the article is Kane imo.

  27. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Watkins (new, TOT, FUL)

    OR

    Antonio (mun, ARS, wol)?

    1. ASOUSA12
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

  28. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
