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.

      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Did have him in my draft but switched to Pepe for the double. Can always get in Son if need be after this GW.

    9. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A better pick if Kane doesn't play.

        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

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

        Indeed

  2. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/06/17/jack-oconnell-injured-sheffield-united-against-aston-villa/

    No mention of Fleck though I can't read all the article. Should be good to go.

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Does that make Norwood a better option?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Why? Fleck widely tipped to start, more attacking player than Norwood, allegedly!

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Changes everything imo

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

      There is just one line about Fleck.

      "There are also doubts about the fitness of midfielder John Fleck, the Scotland international. "

      What do you make of it?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        I'll get Cantwell, bench him and start Jimenez.

  3. In a Rush
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is Egan a safer bet for minutes over lundstram?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      yep

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

      yep

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers all may switch mainly interested in minutes and clean sheets have Baldock and Stevens also

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

      Yes, imho. Lundstram and Stevens owner here.

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

      I was tempted by Lund but will play safe and go with Stevens, Baldock, Egan instead.

      Even if Lund starts he could get subbed off fairly early with 5 subs, especially if Sheffield are chasing the game and need to bring on an extra forward.

  4. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Best 4.7 mill midfielder to have?

    A) Saka
    B) Cantwell
    C) anyone else I should consider?

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

      a for dgw
      b for long

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      I’ve actually got a feeling Joe Willock (4.7m) could grab a goal but these two are the safer bets

  5. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    O'Connell out, if Fleck is also out then causes a some issues for the blades on the pitch.

  6. Babelcopter

    Telegraph chief football writer Sam Wallace confirms O'Connell injury and absence. Only mention of Fleck in the same article: "There are also doubts about the fitness of midfielder John Fleck."

    1. FPL_DON

      krul and cantwell in as enablers. Fancy Norwich against Southampton

    2. gryffsonofarthur

      Not Krul

      1. Tempestic

        3 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed

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

          who then? Can only afford a keeper up to 4.8m

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

      Nice team. (Assuming you'll be wildcarding next gw.)

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

        correct

  22. rkpower1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Slightly rogue choices here but who would you choose:

    A) Egan + McBurnie
    B) Lundstram + Joelinton

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A

      1. rkpower1

        Cheers bud that's who I've gone for in the end!

  23. jorgenoj
    • 7 Years

    Any changes to this BB team?

    Ederson - Leno
    TAA - Lundstram - Egan - Basham - Lascelles
    KdB - Bruno - Grealish - El Ghazi - Cantwell
    Aguero - Auba - Jimenez

    Got value in TAA, Bruno and Jimenez, so wont sell them.

    1. Adsequor
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good to go.

  24. YouReds
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    RM (no WC) T:

    Pope (Reina)
    Doherty Saiss Lascelles (Lund Egan)
    KDB Mahrez Son Grelish (D.Luiz)
    Aguero Rashford Jimenez

    I don't have a WC, so a balance between D/SGW players. Mahrez becomes Bruno/Martial next week.

  25. Goodnight Kiwi

    Spent 30mins tinkering trying to get Sterling in but don't think it's worth the culling....
    A) Laporte, Mount and Pepe
    B) Lascelles, Traore and Sterling

    A right?

  26. In a Rush
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Only started making unlimited transfers yesterday before that just tinkering and re setting, I’ve just realised they count towards transfers made!

  27. Mikha In A Tutu
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    RMT for 30+

    Leno Reina
    Arnold Laporte Lascelles Egan Basham
    Salah KDB Grealish Sako Fleck
    Aubameyang Jesus Samatta

    A) Stick
    B) Laporte to Hanley, Jesus to Aguero

  28. Mattymo23
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Surely worth having a City defender or keeper for clean sheet points?

  29. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Sterling owners not worried about the fact that he hasn't returned since GW19?

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

      Just looking at that...hmmm! Kun or Sterling is my dilemma

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Pre lockdown form means zilch

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

    Best Fleck replacement?

    NORWOOD
    DUDA
    CANTWELL
    DOUGLAS LUIZ
    Other

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

      luiz - save the cash

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Duda I reckon, maybe El Ghazi if u can stretch to that

    3. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Saka possibly?
