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.

      Decent.
      Double up on Rash and Bruno is interesting.
      Also assume you're aware of the Fleck rumours.
      Besides that it looks decent to me

      1. Quan MisTaka

        Fleck rumours?

    Need help!
    Current pre-38 team:

    Grealish, Salah, KDB, Saka, Bruno
    Vardy, Jimenez, DCL

    I'm BB'ing today but torn between whether to FH31/WC33 or WC31/FH32.

    It hinges on GW32 really, because the fixtures are so bad that I'd struggle to get a FH team out. The BB team has Aubameyang, Leno, Sarr & Jimenez and that covers the best 32 options, right?

    What are FHers planning for 32?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No idea yet, since after FHing this week i only have TC left

  5. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    For those of you with a WC & bench boosting, are you

    A. Wildcarding next week.

    B. Free hit next week.

    The City vs. Liverpool fixture in gw 32 making me slightly lean towards free hit in 31 & go into 32 with zero Liverpool and do Mahrez - > Fernandes or Aguero - > Rashford

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I've been thinking FH in 31 also.
      Then Possible WC in 33.

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I was thinking of bringing back pool players for 31 and bringing in Leicester and spurs players also on FH

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      City pool could be high scoring

    3. chriscosta
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      my plan so far is BB GW 30
      WC 31 (possible 3 Liverpool players)
      FH 32 (none or maybe 1 Liverpool players)

    4. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years

  7. trueDGP
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    If I play Free Hit this GW, will my team return next GW with the free transfers I have made using the GW30+ wildcard?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      reverts back to team pre lockdown as far as I'm aware.

    Henderson - Leno

    TAA - Doherty - Baldock - Egan - Targett

    KDB - Mahrez - Grealish - El Ghazi - Duda

    Aguero - Aubameyang - Jimenez

    1. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Looks very good!

      What are your thoughts on Duda vs. Cantwell? I'm juggling those two myself as my 5th midfielder. Not too keen on Saka.

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers, mate, I've heard good things about Duda and can't see much between him and Cantwell, just can't see where Saka is going to fit in and play with Tierney back

      2. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        As I understand it Duda plays central and before the break was creating a lot of chances that unfortunately weren't being finished off. I would pick him over Cantwell.

  14. gryffsonofarthur
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Most nailed defender 4.1 and under?

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

      Hanley

    2. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Hanley

    3. Young Lingard
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ngakia maybe

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

        I’m not sure Ngakia will play given his current contract “situation”.

  15. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Read a few rumours on here yesterday that O'Connell could be out?

    A) Ederson, O'Connell & Cantwell (3 SHU)
    B) Ederson, Saiss & Cantwell (2 SHU)
    C) Ederson, Lundstram & Doug Luiz (3 SHU)
    D) Henderson, Walker & Doug Luiz (3 SHU)

    Currently on A, thinking C. Current BB Team:

    Ederson
    Basham, Egan, O'Connell, TAA
    KDB, Grealish, Salah, Fernandes
    Aguero, Aubameyang

    (McCarthy, Nketiah, Lascelles, Cantwell)

    Cheers!

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

    How come Lund is suddenly appearing in loads of teams?

    He got cameos in several recent games.

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Possible injuries to Fleck and O’Connell.
      5 subs means he should get at least 30 minutes in each game minimum.

    2. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      O Connell rumours maybe

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

      OK, thanks.

  17. Pep Roulette

      A

  18. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Saka or Mcginn?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I'd go McGinn over Saka but El Ghazi over McGinn

    2. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      McGinn

    3. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Any particular reason? Worried McGinn might get minutes managed (realise this is also a worry for Saka...)

    Currently on A as I just feel there's more potential for goals and assists there.
