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.

    This GW only..

    A) Harvey Barnes (wat)
    B) Mount (avl)

    1. asdf_1
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Ive gone both. But if I had to choose Mount.

    3. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A. Mount is likely to play but not 100% nailed, no one at Chelsea is. Also we don't know what position he'll play (deeper role in a 4-3-3 or the attacking mid in 4-2-3-1, he isn't much different than Kovacic or Jorginho in the 4-3-3 with little attacking threat).

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A

  2. Aurora Borealis?
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Quick question. If I start a new league now and invite people, will the league show everyone starting with 0pts or their existing points from this season?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You can choose what gw league starts i think?

    2. Gomolon
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      You can choose what gameweek you want the points to start counting from (just make sure you choose 30+ and not 30!!)

    3. Aurora Borealis?
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Great, cheers guys, just thinking of doing a mini league to incentivise some of the people who are out of the race of our main league, seeing as we all have a wildcard

  3. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    On FH:
    A) Fabianski & Stevens
    B) Henderson & Fernandez/Boly

    1. asdf_1
      • 5 Years

      B

        Cheers

    2. sthelenslad92

      B easy

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        Easy because Wolves CS potential? Stevens more attacking than those CB's though. Thanks

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

    Any suggestions on improving my BB team?

    Leno
    Bellerin Egan Targett
    KDB(C) Sterling Fleck Grealish
    Aubameyang Aguero Samatta

    Bench - Henderson Saiss Lascelles Mount

    Also will Fleck be fit? If not I can change to Norwood.

    1. asdf_1
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Rumors that fleck is benched

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Fleck rumours around, wait until closer to deadline. Good team for a BB that. Thoughts on my post above?

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

        B

  5. asdf_1
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Is ward (cry) nailed?

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  6. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I have all my chips available .. Wild Card, Bench Boost, Triple Captain, Free Hit and this 'You can make unlimited free transfers before the Gameweek 30+ deadline.'

    did anyone come up with a strategy to use them? If so, please guide me to the link, thanks

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

    Is Norwood on pens for Sheffield United?

  8. sthelenslad92
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    If you can only have 1:
    A) Mount
    B) Barnes
    C) Sarr

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

      a

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A

    4. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Tricky, I think A but I’m torn between including B with A in my team.

  9. FPL_DON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    RMT please guys? swapping out Sterling for Aub is my main dilemma

    Henderson Leno
    Boly TAA Lascelles Egan O'Connell (aware of injury rumours)
    Grealish Sterling Mane KDB Cantwell
    Aguero DCL Nketiah

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

      If you're building team for long term, I would get Auba. Otherwise Sterling.
      Rest looks good.

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

        Thank you mate

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

    Again

    "Sterling, Bernardo [Silva], Riyad [Mahrez] and Kyle [Walker], these kind of players they take the physical condition quick because it is normal, and I think they have more opportunities to stay longer during the game."

    This has me worried

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

      worried about what bud?

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

        Kdb. Already decided on going without kun

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

          wouldn't read too much into it mate, those were said off the top of his head

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Just go Sterling+Mahrez+Bilva

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

        Not a bad shout. Sane you would doubt would get too long so two of the three front spots are covered a lot of the time.

        1. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          Jesus also played in that position this position at times when Aguero and him were both on the pitch so too risky imo. You could end up with 2 out of your 3 benched in a game.

          1. Klaren
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            Sorry I can't type 🙂

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

    Best Arsenal option in defence out of Tierney, Bellerin and Luiz?

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

      leno

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

        Defender

    2. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Bellerin but probably not worth because even Brighton is going to score against them.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Bellerin

  12. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    None talks about Rashford but I think he can be on fire easily with the likes of Bruno and Pogba providing him assists

    1. Typo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Will be in my team when i WC. Not for this week against spurs.

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

    Moutinho or Jordan Henderson?

  14. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    A) Baldock, El Ghazi & Saka
    B) Egan, Mount, Doug Luiz (or anyone below £4.5m)

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      A

  15. Jebiga
    • 12 Years

    1. asdf_1

    Why is Duda the new Cantwell?

  20. tbhogal
    • 14 Years

    Which keeper combo is best guys?
    A)Hendo/Leno
    B)Leno/Reina

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

      Hendo v Raina then?

      Hendo

      1. sthelenslad92
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 months ago

        A

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

      Depends if you need the Hendo funds. I like Sheffield Uniteds defence better then the keeper. I dont like Villa defence, but Reina in goal might get som save points.

  21. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone managed to fit in Sterling, KDB, Kun & Auba on BB and have a decent bench?

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      No

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

      Na, I dropped Auba.

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

      Yes

    4. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Well, this is the closest I've come:

      Leno Ederson
      TAA Stevens Egan Lundstram Saiss
      Grealish KdB Mount Fernandes Cantwell
      Auba Aguero Nketia

      Have 2.2 itb to upgrade someone. WHO?

    5. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      Leno - Henderson

      Taa - Targett - Lascelles Stevens - Lundstram

      Sterling - KDB - Graelish - McGinn - Cantwell

      Auba - Kun - Nkeitah

      Decent enough

  22. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 months ago

    I think im set here for BB+WC:

    GK: Leno, Henderson
    DEF: TAA, Stevens, Baldock, Targett, Saiss
    MID: KDB, Mahrez, Grealish, El Ghazi, Mount
    ATK: Auba, Aguero, Jota

    g2g?

  23. Astronautovic

    Which one?

    A) ings and nketiah(i would loose 0,5 in value if sold ings)

    1. thomashl

      1. Astronautovic
        • 8 Years

        Thanks. Does his gametime concern you?

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

          Slightly – they also have a somewhat rough run-in of games. Considering Calvert-Lewin in that price point when I wildcard.

          1. Astronautovic
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 10 months ago

            yes i had ings and DCL before. But i moved DCL out for that GW. Maybe i will get him back with my WC. 0.3 loss though.

        Anything up to 4.2 really that has a good fixture this week for bb

    3. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      I think A

  27. gers23
    • 12 Years

    Thoughts on Traore?

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

      Minutes/formation a bit of a worry

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 months ago

      But he is explosive and with all the defenders rusty... he could be gold!!! I'm really tempted

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

    Just toying with no Aguero

    A Egan sterling jota
    B lundstram Barnes Aguero

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years

      B but not 100% on bellerin

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

        Think he’ll play both which is a positive.

        1. checkit_j
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 10 months ago

          A team without Taa is a risk imo

  30. Jeremy Corbyn

    A) Bellerin, Pepe, Samatta
