Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Double Gameweek 30+?

Manchester City are the focus of the Double Gameweek 30+ captain poll.

Their assets have dominated the discussion boards for weeks since the fixtures were announced, and now it is time to make the big decision.

We’ve compared all the best options to help you chose the right one for your team…

Captain Poll

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m) is the current poll leader heading into today’s deadline, backed by 40.1% of voters.

With two matches and more minutes than any other outfield Manchester City asset this season, that is not a massive surprise at all.

The Belgian is top of the league for assists in 2019/20, with a total of 18, and his eight goals so far this campaign already matches his best tally in a Premier League season.

Not too far behind him is Sergio Aguero (£11.8m), who has garnered the support of 33.9% for the very same fixtures as De Bruyne.

The Argentinian has five goals in his last six against Arsenal and the same number in his last six against Burnley. He also started seven of the last nine matches before lockdown, suggesting that Pep Guardiola still favours him over Gabriel Jesus (£9.6m).

The gap between those two Manchester City options and the rest of the pack is rather large.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.1m) has come up in third place but still only managed to pull in the support of 6.2% of voters.

The Arsenal man is generally afforded more minutes than the average Manchester City asset, although there is a tight turnaround between fixtures in Double Gameweek 30+.

Either way, he is still in the Golden Boot race with 17 goals this season, two behind Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) and, if he were to bridge the 15-point gap between him and the Leicester man, he would be in with a chance of being the top-scoring FPL forward for two seasons in a row.

Jack Grealish (£6.4m) is a surprise inclusion in the top five for the poll results, but support for the Aston Villa man is understandable. He has 14 attacking returns this season, more than any colleague.

Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) completes the top five with the backing of 4.7%. We imagine the support for him is so small on account of his rotation threat and his poor form going into lockdown.

His last attacking return came in Gameweek 19 with his tally for the season standing at 13. The last two seasons have seen Sterling get up to 35 and 32 respectively, showing just how much of a struggle 2019/20 has been for him.

      B, d, e if Henderson and nketiah?

      Thanks guys, BDE was what I was thinking myself so good to have a bit of validation!

  2. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Have I completed it?

    Leno Reina
    TAA Lascelles Egan Basham Lord
    Grealish KdB Sterling McGinn Traore
    Auba Aguero Jimenez

    1. VAR United
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Assuming you're WC next gw I'd downgrade Traore to D Luiz and upgrade Lascelles to Bellerin maybe

    2. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Not convinced by Sterling, I think he’ll be too prone to rotation. Maybe keep him for the DGW and then get Martial in for Man IRS’s good run at GW32?

  3. VAR United
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I think I've settled on this BB...

    Leno, Henderson
    TAA, Egan, Saiss, Lund, Targett
    KDB, Sterling, Fernandes, McGinn, D Luiz
    Auba, Kun, Nketiah

    Value tied up in Hendo, TAA & Fernandes. Everyone else is up for grabs.

    Pull it apart chaps.

  4. Hobolicious
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    How likely is it that Traoré will start for Wolves?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I think he starts, but will not last for 90.

    2. Angin out the Begović
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Honestly think he is a great pick for this GW at 5.7m flying under the radar also

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Finally dropped him for Jota this week, won't be surprised if he do well 😀

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Unlikely many players will see 90 minutes with 5 transfers to be fair.

  5. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Doherty or el ghazi? Last place in a FH

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Mount most likley to play but the options are scary:

      Mount Barkley CHO Pedro Willian Pulisic

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

      Mount or willian

  12. Shaw must go on

    Hi everyone,any opinion on this team(no chips will be used)

    Thank you and goodluck Lads

    1. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Nice side.
      Nketiah obviously not nailed but a good gamble.
      Hope Laporte gets 60+ mins in both games - I’ve gone Ederson to be a bit safer.

      1. Shaw must go on
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks..I was thinking about walker also,but I'm not sure if he will play after what happened during the quarentine....

  13. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on this BB?
    Really want Mount but made defence too weak...

    Ederson Leno
    Lord Basham Egan TAA Lascelles
    KDB Bruno Grealish Moutinho Luiz
    Auba Kun Jimenez

    Leno to Reina allows 5.9 mid instead of Moutinho...

    1. Shaw must go on
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Don't you rather traore instead moutinho??

    1. Shaw must go on
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I think it's a bit of a waist of chip...fleck,noggin and saka will not get you that many points (imo)

    FH

    Want a Liverpool player alongside 10 DGW'ers.

        What about O´connell? Any rumours?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Unsubstantiated rumours about him and Fleck on Twitter.

            • 12 Years

            unsubstantiated? or solid intel?

  18. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years

    Best option under 5.8m to complete this defence? Thinking baldock as only have 2 shu players for now.

    Taa Stevens lund Lascelles xxxx

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Got Mahrez - think Mahrez and Sterling will get similar minutes and points this DGW. Mahrez allows TAA over someone like Targett

        1. Soto Ayam
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          You're all set. Good luck!

      Thanks you guys!

  23. ChuckN
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Not much love for Norwood on here, considering the love for players like Fleck, Saka, El Ghazi, Cantwell this game week.

    Isn't he on pens? What am I missing? Just 0.5% ownership as well.

    1. ChuckN
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You can add Douglas Luiz to that list...

      1. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I am going with Douglas Luiz because he´s cheap 🙂

        1. ChuckN
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Yep fair call.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Relies on penalties, pretty much zero threat from open play (thats what I have heard)

      1. ChuckN
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        ok interesting, have not had a chance to watch many SHU games this season unfortunately.

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          You can take a punt for 1 week though (if you have a gut feeling about him). Maybe he gets couple of penalties over 2 games... Punts like this are fine for one GW

          1. ChuckN
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah got BB active and wildcarding in 31, so would just be this week.

    3. Pinturicchio10
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Triple up in defence is more popular.

        1. ChuckN
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah I have TAA, Stevens, Lord, Doherty, Ederson + Leno, 5th spot is either Egan or Lascelles. Depends if I go Norwood/Fleck as my 5th mid. Really tough call.

    4. Mr. Mystic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A) Mane b) Mahrez C) Fernandes for this week?

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        B

      2. ChuckN
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Mane if it's between those 3 only.

    6. Business Dog
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Anyway I can check if I’ve already played my second wildcard? Been back through transfers and can’t tell. Says unavailable but is that because of the unlimited transfers this week? Cheers BD

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years

        Check in Gameweek history, shows the chips you have already used

      FH Team set and ready to go:

      Henderson
      TAA Lundstram Doherty Alonso
      KDB Mahrez Grealish
      Aguero Auba Abraham

      Captain: Aguerooooooo!

      1. YuvalFPL
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        good luck on alonso, was tempted.

        1. HollywoodXI
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks. I think he’s worth the risk. First sub is Norwood so all good if he doesn’t play at all.

      2. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Looks tasty!

    8. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      morning all!

      FH team locked in for now. any thoughts anyone?

      Leno
      Stevens, Lundstram, Doherty
      KDB, Sterling, Pepe, Grealish, Mount
      Auba, Kun (C)

      1. Pomp and Circumstance
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Mahrez rather than Sterling, and either change Mount or the 3rd striker

        1. Chandler Bing
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Why so? I think Sterling has less competition.

      2. YuvalFPL
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Happy with Sterling over Mahrez.

        Mount is more secure than Tammy for a start.

    9. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I am surprised Kun and KDB only cover 74% of captain vote

    10. jorgenoj
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Two questions:
      A) El Ghazi or McGinn?
      B) Best midfielder for 4.7?
