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.

  3. FDMS All Starz

    Thoughts on the BB team?

    Leno - Henderson
    Lundstram - Egan - Bellerin - Alonso - Doherty
    Mahrez - Kdb - Pepe - Grealish - Mount
    Aguero - Jimenez - Pukki

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not keen on Arsenal assets. Think they are traps. But than that it is great. Captain?

      1. Thescaff
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Got a funny feeling Arsenal may play well

  4. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Please somebody help me out, i'm seriously stuck! Is this a decent FH Team?

    Thoughts please? FH Team for this DGW.

    Hendo

    TAA - Stevens - Lund - Saiss

    Grealish - Salah - KDB - Mahrez-

    Aguero - Auba

    Subs: Reina / Nketiah / Guendouzi / Williams

    Any changes?

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Decent

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very GL

      Start Nketiah over Saiss !

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Start Nketiah over Saiss?

        I'll take your advice on that one!

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very safe FH team. Still very decent. GL

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yes Nketiah over Saiss I’m not convinced wet spam won’t score

  5. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If Fleck is out, does that increase Lundy chances of starting?

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Massively

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, makes it almost certain

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        😎

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

      Yes definitely

    4. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think it does for tonight but without knowing the extent of flecks issue we don’t know if he’ll be back for Newcastle. I’m tempted to switch to Egan for security

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Already have him 🙂

        1. In a Rush
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I have Baldock Stevens and Lund at the moment

    5. Jafooli

    1. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years

      Nice, my only fear would be no Mane/Salah

  7. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Villa will probably win tonight with a cleanie and surprise most if not everyone on here.

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      agree 🙂

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      With triple shu and no villa def... It wouldnt suprise me at all.

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

      I fancy villa to get results on both....

    4. Goodnight Kiwi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Happily take a 0-0

  8. krumcake
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    BB team, WC in 31+
    I want to fit in Aguero, Aubameyang, KDB and Sterling. I would also prefer to keep Jimenez. Any changes needed?

    Leno - Henderson
    Targett - Fernandez (NEW) - Egan - Saiss - Lascelles
    Grealish - Sterling - KDB - Fleck - Cantwell
    Aubameyang - Aguero - Jimenez

    0 in the bank 🙂

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fleck apparently injured so wouldn't risk it. Go for Saka and then upgrade Saiss to Lundstram 🙂

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

        Thank you.

  9. tim
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Now that season is what it is, I am going with Nketiah and not always playing it safe, seems like he has been playing good and Arteta likes him. It's done!

    1. In a Rush
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Snap

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty positive he’ll start at least one of the two games, great enabler at 4.4m!

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

    Any thoughts on this?

    Henderson/Leno
    Alonso/Boly/Stevens/Lund/Ake
    KDB/Pepe/Grealish/Mount/Saka
    Aguero/Jesus/Jimenez

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He's a great option for this week.

        Very nice team! Bench boost?

        1. Aaa
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah will be bench boosting

      2. Aaa
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        One week punt at a clean sheet and he has a goal threat, will wildcard week after

    So here is where I’m at for GW 30 BB, WC 31:

    Leno, Henderson
    TAA, Doherty, Lundstram, Stephens, Egan
    KDB, Sterling, Grealish, Mount, Barnes
    Aguero, Jimenez, Nketiah

    A) El Ghazi and McGinn

    Thoughts please lad's. WCing gw31. Any changes??

    Ederson Leno
    Lundstram Egan Target Trent Saiss
    KDB Pepe Grealish Fleck Gilmour
    Aguero Aubameyang Samatta.

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fleck out. Get a third sheff defender and city attacker instead of Ederson, Pepe and Saiss

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Possible rumours of Fleck injury

  19. abaalan
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on B. Silva? one of Peps favourites and can play multiple positions.... even if not as explosive as say Mahrez, I would have thought he would get similar or more mins

  20. cescpistols111
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best 4.1m defender just for this GW?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      hanley

    2. La Vida Latte
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      The only 4.1 that is a probable starter is Hanley in Norwich, I think.

  21. tim
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Saka or Douglas Luiz?

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Again?

  22. tibollom
    • 7 Years

    What to do here guys, which team is best? BB (got FH and WC left)...

    KDB Bruno Saka Grealish Mount
    Auba Kun Jim

    Why no1 getting Salah against Eve?

    1. Thescaff

      Free hits concentrating on dgw

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

      prefer Mane

      1. as33

        Why?

  24. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any Villains about? Is Reina too much of a gamble you think?

    1. Energetics
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Plumping for him over Leno let’s me improve elsewhere so really tempted

    2. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don't see why. Surely he joined after being told he'd be first choice now

  25. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Jimenez to be dad for the first time in July.

    Let's start the baby celebration and "jimenez missing because his wife's delivery" speculation

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Went well with Vardy

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      It's already started. Saw someone mention it last week!

  26. La Vida Latte
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    So:
    A) Saka (not nailed on, but Arteta seems to like him)
    B) Fleck (one line about fitness concerns in an article)

    1. Energetics
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      From these two A. But not a lot of love for Saka

  27. AVIELD949
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) Doherty & Jota (with Egan)
    B) Saiss & Jimi (this also gives me 0.5m to upgrade Egan to Stevens)

    Final BB decision, thanks

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

  28. Coys96

    1. Energetics
      • 9 Years

      Definitely can’t bench the one with two games imo
