Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are advised to target assets who play twice in Double Gameweek 36 when looking for their next captain.

Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) have emerged as the two outstanding candidates, but are there any outsiders who are perhaps being overlooked?

First, we will assess the fallout of the captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 13:30 BST deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

As expected, Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne are leading the captaincy poll ahead of Double Gameweek 36.

So far, Liverpool’s Salah has been handed 50.17% of total votes by our users. Second-place De Bruyne, meanwhile, has received 18.56% of votes ahead of his double-header against Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The top four is closed by two familiar names: Son Heung-min (£11.0m) and Reece James (£6.4m), with 6.03% and 3.19% respectively.

    From the below what combo's score more points, and who?

    Havertz > Gordon
    Broja > Richarlison or Jesus

    Havertz > Foden or Mahrez
    Pukki > Nketiah

    Thanks!

    If you were free hitting 37, would you want Nketiah and Bernardo Silva or Richarlison and Gordon this week?

      I wouldn't want Bernardo Silva period. Would pick Gordon outright over him.

        Was only because I only have double City defence and no attack. He’s the only one I could afford. Think I do prefer the other option though. Cheers.

    Keep Mount or Maddison? I'm expecting both will be benched in at least one game in 36.

    I'm FH in 37, so fixtures are:

    Mount (WOL lee WAT)
    Maddison (EVE NOR SOU)

        I'm playing a BB and need to downgrade one of them to upgrade GK and defence. FH in 37.

        Sa + Doherty + Mount/Maddison + Broja > Ederson + Laporte + Gordon + Nketiah (-8)

        Sa Foster
        TAA James Fofana Coady Doherty

        Pukki Weghorst Broja

          Other option is cheaper GK and defence.

          Schmeichel + 4.9m def + Mount + Maddison
          Ederson + Laporte + Mount/Maddison + Gordon

            Benefit of option A is it's only -4 not -8, but I don't trust Leicester or Everton (as 4.9 probably is Coleman/Mina) to get many clean sheets over the three games

      If you are doing a FH in 36 then why the -4? If this is for 37 then I wouldn't bother with KDB as this is the week you want him, with the double.

        Always open to valid discussions, like trying to predict who may be rested etc. But saying players are injured without source is just annoying. Or Richarlison could be banned was another one I seen on here with no source, he actually got a fine but some still think he will be suspended!!!

          A player has a slight injury, rested, maybe playing with painkillers and subbed in a European Champions League semi final in the Bernabau.

          I think the eye test may say injury concerns.

    Would like to do both but don't have the funds and would mean -4 or -8.
    Pickford has more upside due to saves potential, but Young unlikely to start even one game now Digne is back?

    Son - Mount - Saka - Coutinho
    Kane - Dennis - Nketiah

    I'm leaning towards Mount, but Son and Saka also look good.

      Mount will most likely play one game with cup final upcoming. Saka probably best bet, Son has a tough double.

        I survived this far without them on the back of Son and Kane.
        Now it might hurt me but I hope that Son or Saka can deliver...
        Thanks for the info about Mount, I completely forgot about cup final...

    Bring in Son and sell Robertson to make the funds in the double?

    Will cost me a -8 but worth it, since Roberson will probably only play once?
