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.

    Why get Antonio when you can get Giroud?

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

      Cause Giroud won’t start twice

      1. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        neither might Antonio

    Evening peeps.
    Still have FH and WC, with that in mind would you BB
    McCarthy,Dallas, Raphinha and Bamford.
    Or save.

    Is Salah worth it?

    Son- KDB- Bruno- Soucek- *Raphinha
    Wilson- Bamford- *Kane

    OR
    (-4)
    Son- KDB- Bruno- Soucek- *Salah
    Wilson- Bamford- *Davis

    This worth a -8 folks?

    TAA Son Adams > Coufal KDB Antonio

    Would you BB this to get it out of the way? (Don't have FH left)
    Forster Bamford Holding Rodrigo

      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why do people keep saying this about the BB? It's a chance to get more points on a week where you think you'll inevitably leave a lot on the bench why do people just want to get rid of it?

    RP

    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. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A West Brom defender would fit well for the next 6. Should be a cheap route into their defence.

  12. Steve McCroskey
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Evening gents. Advice really appreciated:

    A. Don't play BB (7 DGW players)

    B. Take a -8 for 10 DGW players and a bench of, KWP, Dallas, Adams

    Thanks

  13. boroie
    • 5 Years

    A - Son -> Rashford
    B - Adams -> Antonio
    C - Save FT

    1. Jersey Boy
      • 5 Years

      C

    2. Thinkering like a Boss

  14. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So, the only way I can get KdB is selling Son/Kane for a hit (A/B)
    Would you take an additional hit to replace McCarthy with Fabianski/Martinez?
    C involves selling Trent and keeping Kane while D involves selling both Son and Kane but getting Vardy

    Pick one:

    A. McCarthy + TAA + Kane + Lookman (-4)
    B. McCarthy + TAA + Son + Antonio (-4)
    C. Fab/Emi + Cancelo + Raphinha + Kane (-8)
    D. Fab/Emi + TAA + Vardy + Raphinha (-8)

  15. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Matip back, great for Trent and Robbo (good for the offense) and bad news for Rashford/Bruno owners

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

    Just a thought... who to play from this?

    A. Lowton (2 games)
    B. Raphina
    C. Dallas

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lowton

  17. Jersey Boy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    TAA > Dias for -4?

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      no

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years

      Yes

    3. Gunners in Haaland

  18. boroie
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A - TC Salah
    B - BB (Forster Strujik Targett Bamford)
    C - Neither

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

      I'm thinking A myself

  19. Lukakwho
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shall I play Dallas (BHA) or take another hit to try and get a West Ham defender in?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just play Dallas.

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

      That's one of my problems as well

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

      Leeds will concede , get wh defender

  20. Thinkering like a Boss
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Adams > Watkins -4 yay or nay? or any 6.1m striker

  21. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So we wont know anything about Leeds-Soton game before deadline. That's nice.

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Brighton is a good game anyway so maybe play if you have, and get lucky with the double if it happens.

      1. Belli2007
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Missed this, so possible Leeds/Soton get rearranged for this GW?

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

          Its speculation based on Ralph saying Southampton have to prepare for all scenarios in case the Cup game is called off.
          Nothing more than that at the moment.

      2. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I will play Leeds players but i'm going to bench Adams and McCarthy.

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

      Can they put another game into the gmwk post deadline?

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        seems like they can everything

      2. Jersey Boy
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure those in charge of fixtures give a toss about our fantasy teams...

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not the real PL... I mean can fpl add a game post deadline

  22. FootballDog
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martínez
    Dias / Saiss / Coufal
    KDB / Bruno / Foden / Son / Salah
    Watkin / Antonio

    McCarthy / Bamford / Dallas / Taylor

    1. Taylor to Shaw -4 - yes / no
    2. Play BB

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

      no

  23. Belli2007
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was all set for BB until Leeds fixture was cancelled and so now planning to hold onto in favour of adding DGW players

    Squad is currently.....(* = DGW)

    Meslier (Sanchez)
    Dias*, Zouma*, Konta* (KWP, Neco Williams)
    Salah*, Maddison*, Grealish*, Bruno* (Jones*)
    Kane, Bamford, Antonio*

    Already made 1FT bring in Antonio for DCL and have 1.4 in the bank.

    Clearly no KDB or City attack not ideal. To get KDB would require a hit of -8 and would need to ship Kane for a week and would cost me .3m to get back in. So options are....

    A - Jones > Soucek and bench Bamford (-4)
    B - Williams > Coufal or KWP > Cresswell and bench Bamford (-4)
    C - KWP & Jones > Mitchell & Foden and bench Bamford (-8)
    D - Sanchez to DGW Keeper Fab (risk), DDG, Martinez and play Bamford
    E - Stick and play Bamford
    F - Other
    and
    G - Get over the fact that KDB didn't take the pen in the week and Razza put it higher than Waddle!!!

    hi gents,

    Martinez
    coufal chilwell dallas
    salah bruno grealish son soucek
    kane watkins

    bamford PVA kilman

    a) kane son & PVA -> antonio KDB & cancelo -8
    b) kane & PVA -> vardy & cancelo -4
    c) PVA -> stones

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

  25. Only one Di Matteo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Son + Adams -> KDB + Brewster for -4 worth it?
    I've got a decent 5th midfielder Soucek/Raphinha, so no problems with having Brewster sit on the bench

  26. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane and Bissouma to
    KDB (C) and Brewster? (-8)

  27. Nanoelektronicar
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This is completely irrational and emotional, but I am probably going to TC Salah. I am ready to accept massive fail, but I am not scared of the use of the chip, and "keeping it for a better opportunity". Liverpool, two home games, team rested and ready to turn things around. Probably the KDB is the obvious option, and Mane is much more suited to this possession based style with a lot crosses, but I am going to support Mo in his dispute with Mane 🙂

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

      Not concerned about the 2 teams they are playing?

      Salah can haul at any time, but id not be confident myself.

      Said as a non owner.

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

        But I am not confident about KDB or Bruno either.

        All the talk about KDB's great underlying number, but why doesn't he finished off those chances? Also, the players around him? City could just be as happy with two 1:0, 2:0 victories, rather than going for absolute drubbing, and it's a question are they capable of it?

        Liverpool need to go big, or go home, they need to turn the things around, they will be rested and hungry, City will try to get two routine wins.

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

          Hmm, its all guesswork!
          I took hits to get mo in, to captain him for his 3 blanks in a row, which has left a sour taste in my mouth.

          Now he's out of my team, he'll probably explode again!

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

            Yes, it's my personal perspective, and I am probably wrong. 🙂

            Have the same feeling but on KDB. Had him for weeks while he did nothing really, and then sold before Everton (which was good that week, ok), only for him to haul vs Chelsea and get a bloody double! I was so pi**ed, now I am getting him back, but more because of the GW20 then just this double.

  28. Cahill
    • 13 Years

    whats this about leeds southampton potentially being back on?

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ralph has said he’s preparing to face Leeds in case Shrews gets cancelled.

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      RH is following PL advice in being prepared for last-minute fixture changes. The FPL community are seemingly shocked. That's about it from all I've seen.

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

    Raphinha to Soucek for a hit?

    Or play Dallas instead?

  30. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Is this good enough for a minus 4.
