Captains

Vote in the Double Gameweek 32 captain poll

Manchester City are expected to dominate the Double Gameweek 32 captaincy as they prepare to face Fulham and host Cardiff City.

You can now vote in the latest poll embedded in the article below or in the sidebar of the website.

The Cottagers have the worse defence in the Premier League having conceded 70 goals this season, while only the Cottagers themselves and Huddersfield have fewer points away from home than the Bluebirds in 2018/19.

Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) are the obvious go-to options, but some Fantasy managers may want to assess whether they will start in both matches of the Double Gameweek. We’ve done some research into that already, incidentally.

David Silva (£8.5m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.5m) will probably be the most considered in midfield with Leroy Sané (£9.3m) looking very much out of favour right now.

However, with Free Hit chips looking popular this week, there are expected to be a number of premium-priced candidates in all positions. For example, it’s not just Manchester City’s attacking assets that are worth considering in Gameweek 32 though. Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m), Ederson (£5.6m) and Kyle Walker (£6.4m) can offer fairly secure routes into a defence that has kept four clean sheets in the last five Premier League matches.

Rivals Manchester United also have a few options worth looking at as they host Watford and travel to Molineux to face Wolves.

Paul Pogba (£8.9m) has been a reliable asset for most of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s time at Manchester United, although has admittedly dropped in recent weeks.

Romelu Lukaku (£10.8m) has rediscovered his form while Marcus Rashford (£7.6m) can still offer value.

Eden Hazard (£10.9m) is also part of the conversation with some incredible fixtures for Chelsea.

The Blues travel to Cardiff at the weekend before hosting Brighton midweek.

Defensive options such as David Luiz (£5.9m), Marcos Alonso (£6.4m) and Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.4m) might also end up on the captaincy radar with neither of Chelsea’s opponents offering much goal threat.

Two fixtures for Harry Kane (£12.4m) and his Spurs colleagues might put himself into the conversation as an alternative captain option.

His first fixture is against Liverpool, which might put some off, but after that, it’s a home match against Crystal Palace.

    I hate international break.

      Horrible isn’t it 🙁

      I like this one, as it gives more time to tinker with FH teams.

        5 years, 29 days ago

        Problem is there's a clear template and tinkering just involves swapping the same players in and out again now

  2. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Any reason why people are starting to pick Smalling over Lindelof?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Something to do with his wife being pregnant and due any day. Also Smalling has a bigger goal threat

    2. doy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I reckon Smalling will score one.

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Thinking something like this with possibly Raz Captain... might go Pedro over Jota.

    Ryan
    Luiz Laporte Lindelof
    Pogba Alli Sterling Hazard Jota
    Aguero Zaha

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Free hit that is... what you early birds think? Thanks

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Looks a little lightweight TBH.

      Alli a differential? His form has been bad (wasn't great before injury) - his numbers looking good again?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Just not sure on Son and wouldn’t mind a spurs player. Kane is far to expensive. Alli is a question mark at the minute though.

        I want a keeper for saves points, 3 strong defenders, Haz, Raz and Pogba and Kun.

        Alli, Jota, Zaha are the TBD I think.

        What would you change mate?

      Looks pretty nice . I don't really like Ryan, Ali or Zaha but that's me. I'd prefer Deleoufail then a Man u striker maybe . Ryan wouldn't have in single week so wouldn't want in a double.

  4. FCSB

    Which duo:

    1. Azpi Mili
    2. Lindelof Son

    Thanks

      1

    4. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      1

  5. Limbo
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Kun (c) by a nose. Sterling a v.close second, but figure either could be subbed at 65mins. Kun on pens slightly edges it.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Tough call yes. I think my rival (who is 50 ahead of me) will go Kun(TC) as he has no WC or FH. So really unsure what to do

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        You're in a good place then - a decent FH team should trump TC scores this GW. Then you still have TC and WC to make the run in. So go for Aguero too. Minimise the damage if he hauls (points you'd want anyway).

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 29 days ago

          Thanks mate

  6. StoichkovFPL

    5 years, 29 days ago

    Jimenez played just 75 mins vs Chile (scored a pen) and Mexico coach said he most likely will play just one game this IB.

    Big news for me as Jim may be back in my FH draft now !

      Will still probably be rested before the FA Semi!

      Alli over Mane for me.

        Alli clearly not fit?

    1. doy

      Bit concerned about Martial, will he play both matches?

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Yes not sure it’s a strange price point

    2. doy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I'd downgrade Higs to Rashy and upgrade Martial to Alli, Ryan to Kepa and possibly Batman to Zaha.

    3. Kanga roo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      not sure about the utd double up in midfield.

  10. Jönny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    I'm sure I've missed something, but... amongst all the talk of Laporte being nailed on, he hasn't actually played a minute in the Premier League since GW26?

    1. doy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Been injured and played in the recent FA Cup match (I think).

      1. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        also played in CL. Was expected to be back after IB, but recovered quicker than expected.

        1. doy
          • 6 Years

          this, yup!

            • 14 Years
            5 years, 29 days ago

            Thanks.. presumed there must have been an injury.

            No concerns that he might be rested against (at least one of) two of the worst teams in the league?

            I guess on the plus side they'll want to get him back to match fitness...

  11. doy

    Kepa
    Luiz Laporte Lindelof
    Alli Sterling Pogba Hazard
    Aguero Rashford Zaha

    Norris AWB Dendoncker Connolly

    Would you rather have Lindelof/Zaha or Smalling/Batman?

    1. doy
      • 6 Years

      Also is Azpi worth the 0.4 extra over Luiz?

    2. g40steve

      Alli did not look fit or sharp last night.

  12. JurgenRodgers

    Current FH Draft

    De Gea

    Azpi Laporte Schlupp

    Jota Pogba Hazard Sterling

    Batshuayi Kün Higuian

    Alot depends on Utd injury news..

  13. FPL Maldini

    Is there any point posting a FH team without Sterling? Was quite set to punt on Dilva instead

    anyone else got buyers remorse over their FH?

    I'm thinking I should have gone WC32, FH33
    as opposed to FH32, WC34

    Feel like by the time 34 rolls around most of the better players will be beyond reach

    Also DGW35 doesn't look as good now with the way the FA cup has gone

  17. fc_skrald

    I will have to use either the triple captain chip or the bench boost chip in gw35 meaning one of the chips will be used in a single gameweek.

    I have not have any succes with the bench boost chip in previous seasons and I dont rate the chip high, so I think I should use the triple captain chip in gw35 (likely on Jiménez) and then just ignore the bench boost (I will use the wildcard in gw34 but will only focus on my main 11 players).

    Any disagreements with this?

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      looks good but any fear of rotation for Jimi?

      1. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Yes, he could be rested, I could go for ManC or ManU players instead.

    2. Pukki Party

    Completely and utterly torn. FH this week seem so obviously productive, but I'm not really seeing as excellent opportunity for TC down the road...

    1. g40steve

      12 x2 game week players vs 1x3

      1. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        You mean (10 + 2*)players x 2 games?

  19. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    No in my work ML I am the only one doing FH32 WC34 BB35, looking to get my wk 31 team back while they all waste FT 😉

    30 points behind leader & he took -8 to rip his 31 team up, cannot wait to see look on his face when my 31 team returns in 33.

    A few sounded their chips earlier in the year.

    1. g40steve

    Seeing a lot of Smalling in RMTs.

    I know there’s a potential issue with Lindelof, but how nailed is smalling? Are jones/Bailly no longer a threat ?

    1. g40steve

      Can see YC in first game & having a nice rest.

    2. fc_skrald

    1. Now I'm Panicking

        Ya he seems nailed and anyone could score against HUD he's definitely in my thoughts

  28. The Red Devil

    Spurs away at title-chasing anfield & home to a london derby, makes me less enthused about owning kane, downgrade him & get son in a 3-4-3? currently own kane in a 4-3-3.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      I just can't bring myself to not pick Kane in a FH team even though I agree fixtures aren't the best. Feels like a missed opportunity if you don't pick him for this dgw.

    2. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      He’s hit the ground running since coming back from injury. Can see him sneaking a goal vs pool but the real selling point is the first game at the new stadium. He will smash Palace

    3. Gabriel Agbonlahor
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      He only got 2 blanks since GW11 whenever he played more than 60 minutes. That’s against Man City & Chelsea
