Join us live on YouTube today for the Double Gameweek 32 captaincy video.

Joe and David will be discussing who should have the armband for this weekend’s fixtures at 12:30 pm.

You can watch the video either embedded in this article below or on our YouTube channel – and if you miss the broadcast, you can always catch up on it at a later date.

Manchester City certainly have the most appealing set of fixtures as they travel to Fulham and host Cardiff.

That’s why it is no surprise to see Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) top of the latest poll.

The Argentinian has been the leader since it began and currently sits on 54%.

However, his English colleague has enjoyed a boost in the vote ever since scoring a hat-trick for his country last week.

Before England’s 5-0 win over the Czech Republic, Aguero had 61% in the poll and Sterling just 19%.

As of Monday morning, it’s now 27% for the midfielder. Obviously, Fantasy Football Scout users cannot change the recipient of their first and only vote in our poll, so it is possible that some who initially went for Aguero may have changed their mind.

But, at the very least, we can see a new voting trend that has shifted the numbers between the two players due to external factors.

In our video, we will also discuss some of the less considered options, such as Eden Hazard (£10.9m), Harry Kane (£12.5m) and Ederson (£5.6m), all of whom have under 6% backing in the poll.

      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'd say look @ how many player's you'd change + 12 points hit & think whatever it is good to use TC or f... It & FH as you said.

      I'd FH

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        thanks Amey

    Same unsolved dilemma - kane or hazard?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      hazard for me better fixtures

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Both if you can afford, but I'd probably say Hazard.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard.

    4. Gabistuta
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard safe bet, Kane if you're a gambler

    5. MTPockets
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Easily Hazard for me

      • Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Unless you have amazing TV tough to get Kane without weakening rest of team, which is not worth it in my opinion so Haz.

    6. #FPLBhuna

      bottomed (cheers to those that have already replied)

      right let's go, if all are fit, who are your current front 3 on a FH?

      1. Gabistuta
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Rash Kane Kun

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Aguero and two others, I think.

        1. #FPLBhuna
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          useful.

      3. Dacra
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Aguero, Rash, Higuain

      4. MTPockets

          Aguero, Higuain, Rashford

        • SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Kun & Kane (4-4-2)

          If I had to choose a 3rd, Batshuayi

        • Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Hig and Kun (3-5-2)

        • Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I think your question should have been who is in your team alongside Kun 😉

        • joeydelucchi
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Kun Kaku(if fit) Higgy

        • MANGE TOUT RODNEY
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          At the moment it is Aguero / Rashford / Jiminez

        • Dr. Mantis Toboggan
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Kun Rash (Crouchy)

        • Lemongrab
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Kun Kaku (Crouch)
          and
          Kun Rash Bats

        • Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Aguero . Zaha . Quaner (3-5-2 with Dilva, Son, Duffy, Foster and template)

      5. palace ash
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Pick your best three players to own from City, United and Chelsea for DGW32:

        Me:

        United: Lindelof, Pogba, Rashford
        City: Ederson, Sterling, Aguero
        Chelsea: Azpilicueta, Hazard, Higuain

        1. Dacra
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Currently have all them in my team, except Smalling instead of Lindelof..

          Schlupp and Mili to complete it.

        2. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          City : Raz,Kun,B Silva
          Chelsea: Hazard,Kepa,Azpi
          United: Pogba, Lukaku, Lindelof* (doubtful)

          These are the player's i own.

          Would like young for Lindelof though if had more cash

        3. Gabistuta
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Utd: Pog/Rom/any def
          City: Laporte Kun Sterling
          Che: Kepa Azpi Haz

        4. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Currently on:
          Young, Pog, Martial
          Sterling, Dilva, Kun
          Kepa, Haz, Hig

          Still not 100% sure though.

      6. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        How is this?

        Ederson
        Azpili Luiz Lindelöf
        Hazard Sterling Pogba Milivojevic
        Kun Jimenez Rashford

        1. Zladan
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Not sold on the Jimmy pick.

        2. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Pretty good. I think if we could be sure Jimi would play both more would have him.

      7. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Sterling has missed PL games this season against …. Hudds, Burnley, Watford, Everton & WHU ... City now play Cardiff & Fulham & FA Cup Brighton in a week, just saying 😉

        1. Dacra
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Which is why Hazard will be my captain.

        2. mad_beer ✅
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          You would need huevos grandes to go without him.

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            I will have him, a single game this week against either of Cardiff or Fulham is good enough, but I have this lingering doubt and I do have my finger over the self destruct button 🙂

            1. Amey
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Good point.
              Sgw against Fulham/Cardiff enough for him to haul big time

        3. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          This is the business end of the season.
          PL & CL are main competitions.
          Just saying 😉

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            wasn't Sterling & KdB rested during the midweek before the Mickey Mouse Cup just a few weeks ago ? 😉

            1. Amey
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              PL race is @ it's best atm. So I'm expecting Raz to start both, but know he can be benched for a game. 😛

              1. palace ash
                • 16 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                Let's hope he comes through tonight's game first

                1. Amey
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 8 months ago

                  Amen

        4. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Someone can afford Sterling.

      8. Rahulio
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        My Current Team: No FH available 0.4 mil ITB and TC Aguero/sterling maybe Haz

        Button Etheridge
        Kola Perira Duffy Doherty Schulpp
        Sterling Hazard Pogba Son Brooks
        Rashford Aguero Jimi

        My plans: 1 FT Son --> Mili which would allow me to do 1 of these 2 moves.
        A) Etheridge --> Ederson and Pereira --> Luiz -8
        B) Etheridge --> Kepa and Pereira --> Laporte -8

        Struggling to get my head around which option would be better as I used my FH last GW. Please give me tips on how to improve my current team and which option to go for.

      9. scubasmithy

        6 years, 8 months ago

        So just wondering, I'm not seeing a lot of love in free hit teams for

        Walker of Man City
        Smalling of Man Utd

        Both probably most nailed in their respective defences....

        (I'm going Kepa, Luiz, Walker, Smalling)

        Rest of side is
        Haz, Son, Milo, Pogba, Sterling
        Aguero, Rashford

        I guess I could swap Walker to LaPorte and Smalling to Lindelöf, but wouldn't allow me to upgrade my front 7.....

        Am I missing something here? (Don't fancy higuain as I want double Chelsea def and Haz, Kane is too expensive, Lukaku is a maybe but It would mean sacrificing a number of positions to fit him in (or drop Son)…..

        Am I seeing this wrong?

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Laporte is more nailed than Walker

        2. mad_beer ✅
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Walker has been rested 7 times to Laportes 1.

          I will never forgive Smalling for the OG on the last day of the season costing me 1st place in my ML.

          1. scubasmithy
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Hmmm..... I could be persuaded by LaPorte I think..... i'll leave it for now and see what pep has to say re the rest of the centre backs.

        3. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Good Differential.
          Can't fit him though

      10. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Apparently in Huddersfield, Prexit is a word...

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years

          Can you explain this portmanteau?

      11. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Last 2 spaces in my FH:

        A) D.Luiz & McArthur
        B) Saiss & Milivojevic

        Would mean Double Chelsea DF (own Kepa aswell)

        1. royals forever

      12. balint84

        A) Alli+Hazard

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        On FH what is the best 14m ST/MF combo for this front 8

        Sterling Pogba Alli Noble xxxxxxx

        Aguero Batshayhi xxxxxxx

        Any ideas would be welcomed

        1. mad_beer ✅
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Noble on a FH?

        2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Noble?!

        3. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Noble???!!!

        4. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          With all due respect I don't think even Noble would pick himself up in his FH gw 32 team.

      14. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Higuain or Son?

        1. Messiah Hazard
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          both play different position

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            😮

        2. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Higuain

        3. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Higuain

      15. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Rashford fit for DGW or not?

        1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Wait for presser

      16. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Which City/Chelsea combo would you prefer?

        Laporte + Azpil
        or
        Walker + Rudiger

        First one has more potential possibly, second one safer...?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          1st very safe and better

          1. Champ
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks. I agree but slight concern with Laporte starting the first game. Think Walker will play both.

            1. Guidinho
              • 15 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              Not sure why people think this (unless there is some injury news ive missed). He played the full 90 vs Swansea, didn't have international duty and City have injuries at both CB/LB.

        2. scubasmithy
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Ramping it up from my earlier post....

          Walker or LaPorte
          Luiz or Azpi
          Lindelöf or smalling or shaw

      17. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        (C)
        Sterling?
        Sergio?

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Chasing / holding
          Raz / Kun

      18. as33
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Ryan
        Azpi, Luiz, Tomkins
        Hazard, Pogba, Sterling(C), Son
        Kun, Raul, Batman? good to go?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Son and Jimi a bit punty.

          1. as33
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Could get Kane and Kun, Son instead of Mili, and defence will b very weak

      19. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Arse ladies just just swatted the Pool women 5-1.

        Are we ignoring Auba at our peril?

        1. mad_beer ✅
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I had to read that like 6 times to make sure you weren't suggesting swatting women's arses. lol

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            double just didn't help! 🙂

        2. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Why not Laca ??

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Prefer Auba but Laca could work.
            Feel confident to put Arse in my acca's so want one of their attackers at home to that New. defence.

        3. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Probably do well but 2>1

      20. Riders of Yohan
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        A) higuain, Pedro, AWB, Laporte, ddg
        B) bats, dilva, luiz, Lindelof, kepa

        Would you pick Son or Pedro as your 4th mid in a FH team if money was no object? Any why?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…

          Pedro, but if money really no object neither.

          Problem with Pedro is that Chelsea defenders habe great fixtures and Hazard is way better.....

          I'll be going Kepa and Luiz/Aspi and Haz, so no room for Pedro.

          This is why I have Son..... although may downgrade to fodder to improve my strikers (currently only have Aguero and Rashford up top)

        Hi all,

        just after a little advise.

        should i use my 2ft this gameweek before playing the free hit chip to set me up for gameweek 33 ?

          No, because they’ll get removed when you free hit. Your team goes back to the previous gameweek before any transfers.

          I'd rather have Sterling than Hig AND Kane.

            totally agree.... the first 2 players on all of our team sheets surely are Sterling and Aguero

        I can't wait for this gw to be over, so we can re-do the thrill of a low-scoring blank gameweek in 33

        Not on a FH, Is it worth doing Doherty to Kolasinac this week considering Doherty might get rested and Arsenal's decent fixture plus Kola plays in 33?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Arsenal can't defend and Newc scoring for fun of late so not for me.

          1. NLRED
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Not sure on that. Arsenal conceded 1 in their last 5 at home. Newcastle have found some form in front of goal but there is the attacking threat from Kola too.

        2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I toyed with this but New. have found their scoring boots lately and Arse defence usually find a way to shoot themselves in the foot.

          Fully expect them to win mind you, anyway the d/gw defenders should be prioritized I feel.

      31. Bada Bing
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        From the official FPL site: "But if you, say, sell Ryan Fraser (£6.2m) with the Free Hit ahead of Gameweek 32 for a sale value of £5.7m, the AFC Bournemouth midfielder will return to your squad for Gameweek 33 at that value and not his current price of £6.2m." Is this really correct...???

          "From the official FPL site" should give you a clue

        2. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I think it's trying to say that his sale value won't jumpt to 6.2m. Which is kind of obvious. They seem to be terrible at explaining something which needn't be this confusing.

          1. Bada Bing
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Ok, so they are talking about sale value, not current value. Yes that was very confusingly explained by them, thanks for clearing that up!
