Fantasy Premier League managers face a difficult choice for the Blank Gameweek 18 captaincy.
Even before Monday’s fixture rearrangements for Spurs, Fulham and Aston Villa, differentiating between Kevin De Bruyne (£11.7m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m) was proving challenging for many.
Now that Harry Kane (£11.0m) and Son Heung-min (£9.8m) have been handed a favourable home fixture against underprepared opposition the debate has been thrown wide open.
More than ever, Fantasy managers need some help with the armband, which is where the Captain Sensible article comes in.
As always, we will look into the best options’ underlying statistics, comparing them against the defensive data of their upcoming opponents using the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area.

Jesus please help. I've been away from FPL for a while doing real life stuff but thought I was safe because I had 10 players for GW 18 and 15 players for DGW 19. Logged on at the 11th hour to find I now only have 5 players for this week, plus an injury and a suspension!
(McCarthy* Martinez)
Dias Stones AWB (Robertson Dallas)
Bruno Son (Salah Grealish Bissouma*)
(Bamford DCL* Watkins)
A - Free Hit. My team isn't too bad for the DGW but I would still be left with an injured DCL, plus 3 Villa players who I'm hearing might not have a DGW anymore?
B - Wildcard. Doesn't seem prudent given I haven't done any planning and haven't looked at my team for about 2 weeks. Could go horribly wrong.
C - Take a -8. Would give me 8 players. e.g. Salah, DCL, Grealish > Kane, Rashford, Saka.
