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.

      Cancelo has played 90 minutes in last 4 City matches..Jan 3rd/6th/10th & 13th
      He ain't starting v palace

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

        As long as your happy to accept him basically being a SGW player then gtg

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

    Should I bring in Ederson for Meslier? Seems like poor value but 1FT and easiest way to get city cover during DGW.

    "Balbuena" is confirmed out for isolation, Cancelo and KDB have 5 tasty fixtures from gw19 until gw22.
    --

    Johnstone/ Mccartyhy
    Stones / Coufal / Justin / Balbuena/ Dallas
    Son / Salah / Bruno / Raphina / Soucek
    Kane / Bamford / Adams

    WWYD:
    A) KDB + Vardy ( for son and kane) === -4 points
    B) Cancelo (for balbuena)
    C) Cancelo + Vardy (for balbuena + Kane) === -4
    D) Cancelo + KDB + Antonio (for balbuena + Son + Kane) ==== -8

    1. Dennis System

      "Balbuena"

    2. CABAYE4

      B2

    3. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      D and 2 if you're feeling spicy.

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

    What would you do?

    1) DCL and Taylor -> Antonio and Chilwell (-4)
    2) DCL and Taylor -> Antonio and Zouma (-4)
    3) DCL and Taylor -> Antonio and Creswell (-4)
    4) DCL and Taylor -> Antonio and Coufal (-4)

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What’s your defence now ? Hard to say without seeing who you already own

      In isolation I’d be tempted by coufal and pocket the change

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

        Cancelo, Dias, Dallas, Tagrett, Taylor

    2. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1 or 4.

      1 a better long term pick

  7. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I don't know what I'm doing

    1. Amey

      Makes two of us

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

      Made me think of that old ad "I dont know what a tracker mortgage is"

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I still don't

  8. mackan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Dcl Kane Walton KWP to

    I will C Vardy and BB, team will be:

    Soucek salah Bruno raphinha son
    Vardy Antonio Bamford

  9. Fernandito

    Martinez
    Stones Dias Robertson Maguire Cresswell
    Foden Salah Bruno
    Watkins Antonio

    Fabianski Son Raphinha Bamford

    How does this look for a BB?

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

    Is this move worth it if I triple captain KDB

    Salah & Dallas > KDB & Coufal -4?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not for me

    2. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Possibly. I would consider the move for sure. Not so sure on the triple captain

  11. Greenbob
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Worth taking a -4 to get another City defender in or play Targett?

  12. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What to do for GW19.....

    Martinez, (4.0)
    Cancelo, Dias, AWB, Holding, Mitchell
    KDB, Bruno, Grealish, Son, Jones
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    1 FT, 0.4itb

    Should I:

    A - DCL to Antonio
    B - DCL & Jones to Antonio & Soucek (-4)
    C - Kane & Grealish to Salah & Antonio (-4)
    D - Grealish, Son & DCL to Salah Soucek & Antonio (-8)
    E - Any other suggestion

    Cheers

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years

      B or C look good.

    2. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Like B

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

    So, just about to lock in the following BB line-up

    Meslier
    Robbo Dias Cresswell
    Salah Bruno Son Soucek Foden
    Bamford Vardy

    McCarthy Justin Lowton Deco-Reid

    When this turns up

    Worth either keeper out for -4, bearing in mind Flappy's fixtures look better than the others for a few weeks?

    Or gtg?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gtg mate, hold.

      1. Yes Ndidi

    Who do we reckon is the best defender to have for this double gameweek??
    Any price

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

      Cresswell.

    2. ivantys
      • 3 Years

      Cresswell or Robbo

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cancelo

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I think am going Salah captain. He owns me.

    BTW for the record I didn't own him for each of his 4 double digit hauls, so you've been warned

  16. Ruudy Van
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Skipped past last page. Few seperate questions, thanks.1FT 3.4ITB. No BB.

    A) Sell McCarthy to 5.9 GK
    B) Sell 4.0 to 5.3 GK

    1) Son & Keeper to KDB & Keeper -4
    2) Son Keeper & Dier to KDB Keeper & Stones -8

    If option 1
    Y) Bench Dier
    Z) Bench Targett

    Current Team
    McCarthy Forster
    Dier Zouma Dias Coufal Targett
    Salah Bruno Son Soucek Burke

  18. IamthenextTeemuPukki
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    First I wrote this incorrectly, and then when I corrected it, I posted at the bottom of a page. Any help is greatly appreciated:

    Martinez (Steer)
    Reguilon, Dias, Chillwell (Mitchell, Taylor)
    Bruno, Salah, Grealish, Raphinha (Burke)
    DCL, Bamford, Vardy

    Not Bench Boosting but want to get in more DGW players....

    Which is better?
    a.) Taylor/DCL/Grealish to DeBruyne(c)/Coufal/4.3 forward (-8)
    or
    b.) DCL/Mitchell to Antonio/Cancelo (-4 and captain Salah)
    or
    c.) Grealish/DCL/Raphinha to Soucek/DeBruyne(c)/4.3 forward (-8)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Grealish

      1. IamthenextTeemuPukki
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It worries me that he is on 4 yellows - I could see him getting a yellow in the ManCity game and then missing the game I would really be keeping him for.

        I also worry about missing out on KDB, because I think rest or not, he is going to go off in one of the games and score big.

    2. Salan

      Mine is very similar as yours. Only difference is Wood vs Justin.

      1. Bobby
        • 14 Years

        no spurs is bold

  21. McSauce

    3 years, 2 months ago

    A OR B? First to 3 wins

    A) Son & Kane --> KDB & Vardy (-4)

    B) Fabianki (doubt), Son, Adams --> Johnstone, KDB (c) & Antonio (-8)

    1. FPL Daniel

      Flapyanski looks like trained

  22. Bobby
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    im fairly happy with my team but want to make three or so changes to get man city coverage. Is it worth using the wildcard? I dont really see the need to keep the chip, am i being naive?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No WC this late imo

  23. Tosa86
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My actual WC draft for DGW19::

    Martinez
    dallas - cancelo - cresswell -
    kdb - fernando - son - soucek -
    vardy - kane - bamford

    forster - KWP - struijk - smith rowe

    any feedback for a long term plan?
    captain? kdb, vardy or creswell?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would be tempted to go without one of Son and Kane on a WC

    2. seanie3
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      no Salah?

  24. BigAsGiroud_

    Mendy (Johnstone)
    Dias Coufal Justin Robertson (Ayling)
    Salah Bruno Soucek Grealish (JWP)
    Vardy Bamford (Wilson)

    For BB,
    1)JWP and Wilson to Mount and Antonio(-8)
    or
    2)Wilson to Antonio(-4)

  25. Top Lad Dakes.

    1. FPL Daniel

      Yeah, it's always like that. Get ready

  26. Old Gregg
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What move do you recommend please?

    a) Wilson > Antonio
    b) son + (Burke) > Pulisic/Ziyech + Soucek (-4)
    c) son + Wilson > Soucek + Vardy/Werner (-4)

    1. MITRO'S ON FIRE

  27. In a Rush

    Current squad I was building towards bench boost and still want to use it.
    Any thoughts please ?

    Martinez
    Taylor zouma Coufal
    Salah Bruno grealish Bowen Lookman
    Kane Vardy

    Button bamford dallas kwp

    A. Button Taylor kwp grealish ➡️
    Johnstone Dias Dawson Foden -12

    B. Button Taylor kwp Bowen ➡️
    Johnstone Dias Dawson Soucek-12

    Cheers for any thoughts

    1. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Both of those -12s might not get you 12 back.

      Lack of City anywhere ?

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

      A looks worth doing for double City cover. I wouldn't go near Villa until we know who's available.

      1. In a Rush
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate that’s what I’m thinking grealish out may not be a bad thing with Covid and on 4 yellows.

  28. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best defender 5.3 Max that isn’t Coufal, Stones, Dier or Mitchell?

    1. MITRO'S ON FIRE
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Justin or James

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers! Tempted to go Justin as James only just back from injury and can’t see him playing both

  29. Bambi
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bench boost
    McCarthy - Raphinha - Dallas - Holding?

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

      Yes

  30. AgentFern
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you guys recommend this...

    Robbo, zaha & Kane ---> stones, KDB & Vardy (-8)

    Leaves me with..

    Martinez
    Justin, stones, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, KDB(tc), Son, Soucek
    Vardy, Bamford

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

      Not sure I'd get rid of Robbo when he has a double. Triple captaining KDB is bold and I like it.
