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.

    I see a lot of people going in big with city players for the double game week, anyone else avoided for the simple fact pep loves to rotate, especially during mid week fixtures.

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

      No. I'm a casual.

      1. ilikewud

        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He doesn’t rotate KDB and Dias. Also other managers rotate too

      1. rnrd
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Kdb giving his penalty to gundogan because he feels too knackered to take it raise some
        Serious issues for me on bith fatigue and leadership

        1. Luton_Fan
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          He gave it to sterling

          1. rnrd
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Images shows he gave it to gundogan who gave it to Raheem

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

          What i said on last page but getting a lot of criticism

    3. ivantys

      You buy those Foden/Gundo/Mahrez/Bernardo at your own risk.

    4. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Stones, Dias, Kevin baby

    5. Rochdale_Cowboy

      City and West ham are going to disappoint a lot of people this week.

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

        Were you not the one that "predicted" a KdB and Cancelo benching this gameweek?

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

          I can see them both being rested against palace

        2. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          He's bound to get one right.

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

            I'm on nodding terms with City's chief Ball boy.

        3. jackoasean
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          No I had both in? I’ve just decided for the double game week to not load up on city players due to rotation

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

      Yeah im fully expecting a FFS meltdown when CP team sheet comes out

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

        *verus CP

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

      Nah. For them in last week anyway.

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

    I think it’s time to apply the lessons learnt over the weeks and years:
    - never trust Pep
    - play it safe. Capitalize on players who are fit. People selecting Villa players should keep it mind players who struggles with covid for a long time exist: ASM / Lascelles
    - play it secure with the armband and ask yourself who check the boxes: nailed, double GW, covid immune

    All signs point to Salah (C) imo.

    One could argue he might not have the pens with Milner on the pitch but this also applies to KDB. No-one knows if he will take the next one.
    KDB is class but you’re never safe from rest/rotation and different positioning during the game. He can play 9 and the next game 6.
    You know what you get with salah. No surprises

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

      Ultimately, one is a forward and one isn't. The issue is I see City outscoring Liverpool by at least a couple over this gameweek and Salah hasn't looked his best for a while. Just devils advocate, I have no idea who I'm picking yet.

    2. Charlie&TheLads
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Uff. Dont know if I would share your confidence against Man Utd and Burnley.
      Average goals against each is around 1 goal per game this season.
      Liverpool goal scoring tends to fluctuate between Mane and Salah.
      Statistically doesnt give you much of a return.

    A) son robbo lamptey to kdb stones coufal -8

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years

          No I want 0pts to happen my prediction is based on a complex algorithm, and insider information.

              It's a fool proof system, I regularly finish inside the top 1 million year on year

  7. Pukki Party

    3. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would expect Dallas to do better at home to Brighton than Lowton away at WH and Liverpool.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, I’m considering this also. But others don’t agree

        1. Yes Ndidi
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          It's not going to make or break your season either way to be honest.

    Not sure if I should use my wild card or not. Any feedback on these two teams would be much appreciated:

    Wildcard team

    McCarthy
    Stones Coufal Justin Mitchell
    Son KDB Bruno Salah
    Kane Bamford

    Subs: Forster, Struijk, Brewster,  Burke

    Original Team

    McCarthy
    Stones Dallas Justin Konsa
    Son Grealish Bruno Salah
    Kane Bamford

    Subs: Steer, Mitchell, Mendy, DCL

    With my original team I could take a 8 point hit to get KDB in the team and triple captain him.

    Any feedback or suggestions please. Playing desperate catch up in my mini league

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

      Your basically WC for KDB & coufal, so in my opinion not worth it!
      I'd rather have Salah than KDB this week as I can see KDB getting rested & Salah starts both
