GW33 Chip Poll

Captain Sensible

17 April 2026 286 comments

FFScout Tom

Backed by millions of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers in Gameweek 32, our pick, Bruno Fernandes (£10.3m), notched an assist on Monday night against Leeds United.

He’ll struggle to get a look-in this week as attention instead turns to the ‘doublers’ in Gameweek 33.

Six teams will play twice and consequently form the basis of much of the captaincy discussion. Erling Haaland (£14.5m) is the standout pick at first glance but struggling for form in the league, is there a case to look beyond the Norwegian? That’s what we’re considering in ‘Captain Sensible’.

In this piece, we will assess the on-site captaincy poll, analyse myriad player and team statistics, consult the Rate My Team (RMT) points projections, and settle on a top three for the armband, ahead of Saturday’s 11am BST deadline.

Captaincy Poll

In something of a throwback, Haaland boasts a clear lead in the Fantasy Football Scout captaincy poll. The Man City striker has picked up over 50% of votes cast ahead of matches against Arsenal and Burnley in the Double Gameweek.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.6m) sits well back in second place and is the only other player to garner more than 10% support, backed by just over 14% of site users. The Leeds frontman hasn’t scored in the league since Gameweek 25, so the volume of votes may be something to do with him being first in the poll and benefitting from a lot of accidental clicks…

Elsewhere, Antoine Semenyo (£8.2m) and Cole Palmer (£10.5m) sit in third and fourth, respectively. Semenyo has scored five goals for City since January, while Palmer can boast hat-tricks against both of his Double Gameweek opponents.

The thing about free speech is when you recognise it's sublely vanquished into the vacoomous void of nothingness.
Someone made the decision to do that.
I will always be here to defend freedom.
E en if you happen to be an assumption.. twatty..that.

  7 is a pretty solid amount of doublers...I'd still FH if you feel you need 11 DGWers, but, if you see a better use for that chip next GW or beyond, then wait and hold on to it.

Current FH team:

Darlow,
Senesi, O'Reilly, Struijk,
Palmer, Semenyo, Hinselwood, Tavernier,
Haaland, DCL, J Pedro.

Sanchez, Gross, Hill, Van Hecke

Ideally I want to play both Hill and Senesi as well as Struijk.
Would you..
A) Play back 4 and bench Hinselwood
B) Take out OReilly for Cherki
Or surprise option
C) Take out Haaland, Gross/Hinselwood for Welbeck, Cherki and just pick between Hill and Senesi.

  Doubling up on either team (Bou or Leeds) is asking for trouble in my opinion.
  
  I prefer spreading the risk with 1 City, 1 Leeds, 1 Bournemouth and 1 Brighton (Total of 1 GK and 3 Defenders).

    Not if theyre the only team to keep clean sheet(s), but I get your point, spread the risk. I want both Hill and Senesi in the 11 as I have a feeling one will likely massively outscore the other .. but I dont know which one, so I want both.

  Anderson is unlikely to play. His mother died so he's on compassionate leave. Nobody know for how long.

What the Hecke! A couple or weeks back Van Hecke was flavour of the month and first on the sheet with a double this week. Not a peep said about him recently. What have I missed?
