Who are the best FPL captain options for Double Gameweek 25?

Bruno Fernandes (£11.7m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) have emerged as the two outstanding candidates for the Double Gameweek 25 captaincy, with Manchester United preparing to take on Southampton and Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford.

The question for many is how to choose between them and, of course, are there any single Gameweek options we must make sure we do not overlook.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Double Gameweek 25 captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 GMT deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

Bruno Fernandes is the leader of the captain poll in Double Gameweek 25, with 39.88% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Meanwhile, team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo is in second place, backed by 20.7%. The forward got his rest against Burnley in Gameweek 24, though further minute management can’t be completely ruled out, which we’ll discuss below.

Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) occupies third place with 12.09%, followed by Kevin De Bruyne (£12.2m) and David de Gea (£5.3m), with 7.79% and 7.33% respectively.

        I haven’t had the time to really dig in to FPL this season so I don’t really have a plan the upcoming GWS.

    I have Ramsdale so he's out for this wk but want to hold on to him for his dgw and fixtures thereafter.

    Also after these moves I still have mitb for Kdb➡️Salah for his dgw.

    Moves are.

    Gunnarsson➡️Sanchez
    Gray➡️Fernandas (c)
    Kane ➡️Broja - 4

    Is it worth transfering out Dalot to make room for Bruno and captain him this DGW?

    Since I already for Ddg, Dalot and Ronaldo I have to transfer out one of them and take a hit to get Bruno in.
    Funds is not the problem, its just that Bruno is a more tempting captain than Ronaldo

    Let me preface by saying I will be taking 8 points worth of hits this week and next combined, and there is nothing you can say to stop me! So....

    A:
    This week: Maddison + Antonio to Fernandes (C) + Maupay. Start KDB. (-4)
    Next week Fernandes + KDB to Son + Salah (C) (-4)

    B:
    This week: Maddison + Antonio + KDB to Fernandes (C) + Broja + Salah. Would have to start Dennis or Broja. (-8)
    Next week: Fernandes to Son (Free)
