Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Double Gameweek 19?

Fantasy Premier League managers are advised to target assets who play twice in the first Double Gameweek of the season when looking for their next captain.

With each of the current top four clubs, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester City, each playing twice during Double Gameweek 19, the most popular premium assets are leading the armband discussion.

As always, we have taken a look into the best options in great detail, using the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area to assess individual form and the state of their opponents’ defences.

CAPTAIN POLL

For the second week running, Manchester City’s maestro Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) leads the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll, this time with just over 37.0% of votes.

The Belgian shares the vast majority of votes with Mohamed Salah (£12.5m, 26.0%), who comes back into our consideration after missing out on a match in Blank Gameweek 18.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m, 7.0%), Jamie Vardy (£10.1m, 5.1%) and Tomas Soucek (£5.3m, 4%) complete this week’s top-five list.

In order to tackle this Double Gameweek captaincy debacle effectively, we will analyse Gameweek 19’s key teams and assets separately, as opposed to focusing on the key matches, as we usually do.

    Is this a logical move -

    Kane and Mitchell to Vardy and Stones -4

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. Shearer & Sutton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years

      Not sure I´d do that. I´d rather have Kane. Depends on the rest.

  2. simonl87
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    De Bruyne and Antonio -4
    Or
    Soucek and Vardy

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      First option

    2. DavidHopkin
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek and vardy, but it’s a close one. I’m risking no KDB too

  3. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any Vardy cap punts?

  4. Enzo the Baker
    • 10 Years

    Have 5.0 for a defender, get :

    A. Stones
    B. Justin

    Can get this with a -8. Worth it and thoughts on BB?

    Johnstone
    Stones cancelo chilwell coufal
    Salah son* Bruno soucek
    Vardy Antonio

    McCarthy*, Justin, bamford*, raphinha*,

    The transfer would be:

    Kane, adams, Dallas > stones, Vardy, Antonio.

      Yes

    2. ArseneAllTheWay

  8. sentz05
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Should I play Bamford and Meslier or use my free transfer to bring a DGW player in for one them?

    1. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      play Bam

    2. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Change Meslier for free surely?

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

    half tempted to BB this lot:

    Forster, R James, Dallas, Bamford

    Only 0.1 to upgrade Forster to a playing keeper unfortunately 🙁

    What do you reckon?

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How many hits taken already?

      1. ArseneAllTheWay
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        0 hits, 1 FT used on Taylor --> Stones

        This is the team:

        McCarthy (Forster)
        Stones, Justin, Coufal (James, Dallas)
        Bruno, Salah, Grealish, Soucek, Son
        Watkins, Vardy (Bam)

        1. Right In The Stanchion
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Do it. I’m doing a -8

    2. DavidHopkin
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Is R.James likely to get two games?

      1. ArseneAllTheWay
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Reckon good chance yaah

  10. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My mental hot topic

    A) Kane > Vardy
    B) Kane Son Laca > Vardy Salah 4.5 for -8 with 1.5m to spare.
    I don't need to play the 4.5 guy. Currently I am forced to bench Lacazette anyway.

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years

      Any advice would be appreciated 🙂

  11. Right In The Stanchion

    Stones and Dias should be starting both DGW fixtures right?

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

      yes. Ake & Laporte still out

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  13. Chef Ramsey
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Team got hit hard by the DGW fixture changes. Would still potentially like to bench boost. Suggestions appreciated:

    McCarthy (4.0)
    Trent Lowton Justin (Coufal Dallas)
    Salah© Bruno Son Raphinha (Anguissa)
    Kane Adams Bamford

    1. Rochdale_Cowboy
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't Bb

  14. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    G2G? Bench boost active

    Martinez
    Dias, Cresswell, Robbo
    Salah, KDB(c), Bruno, Grealish, Soucek
    Watkins, Antonio

    Johnstone, Bamford, Dallas, Ayling

    1. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  15. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    In your opinion who is the best 4.5 DF (fodder or bench player that rotates with Coufal) to have for the next few GWs

    Rest of Back 7

    Martinez Johnstone

    Dias Coufal Stones Dallas xxxxxxx

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mitchell benched

  16. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cancelo or Dias?

    1. Dele
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias for security of starts

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo

    3. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias especially after Pep’s comments

      1. mojoindojo
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        On Cancelo currently. Yes Peps Comment making me rethink

      2. JONALDINHO

        What were his comments?

    4. Shearer & Sutton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias for me.

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

    A) Son & Vardy
    B) Barnes & Kane & 1.7 ITB for next GWs

  18. Shultan
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fully expecting KDB to get rested v Palace, captain Salah or Vardy

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Another palace masterclass 0-0 incoming if he gets rested.

    2. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty sure everyone has seen what happens when kdb doesn't play.

      Pep can't afford to rest him.

      1. Shultan
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        KdB has started last 4 in a row & City have 5 more games this month

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          That does change what I said.
          City cannot afford to drop points in the title race.

          And to play their best, kdb has to be in the 11

    3. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB to Salah done for a hit then

    4. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why? I think he starts both

      1. Shultan
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He was too tired to take a penalty last match. Asked gundog to take it before took it. Its time for a rest

    5. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      After Pep seeing Arsenal boredraw against CP, KDB is starting for sure

  19. YuvalFPL
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Will Salah outscore Rashford by 4 points this gameweek?

    1. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sure

  20. KAALI_DAAL
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play Dallas or Raphinha?

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dallas

  21. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Does KDB start both games?
    B) Triple captain KDB (or Salah) this week?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A yes
      B no

    2. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Do I have to answer both. Or select which one I have to answer?

    3. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Too much doubt. KDB may get rested, Salah has awkward fixtures and is off form.

      I'd prefer playing my TC with confidence.

    4. cuppatea78
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm on the verge of TC Salah.

  22. Shearer & Sutton

    I don't own Soucek atm and don't feel good about it. Even considering to sell Son for him for the double gw. What are your thoughts about this ? Or should I just bring Antonio as my West Ham cover and hope for the best ?

  26. jason_ni
