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.

    Who to hold in to long term?:

    A) Kane
    B) Son

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

      Son cheaper, I guess. But Kane has fewer viable options in his position.

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

      Holding Kane for now and losing Son for the short term due to KDB’s fixtures

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

    Evening All. Yay or nay to this? Thanks in advance:

    Furlong, Son & Kane > Cancelo, KDB & Antonio (-8 hit)

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

      Yay

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

      Absolutely not. Kane to Vardy is an option for the dgw

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

        What's a furlong anyway?

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

          Just over 200 metres. Also a random WBA defender

  3. Muscout
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    JWP and Bamford to H.Barnes and Antonio for -4

    A) yes
    B) no

    Would prob prefer Foden but too much of a risk I think?

  4. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which keeper to play this week?

    McCarthy or Meslier

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

    Would you take a 8 point hit to go
    Kane to KDB(C)?

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

      Yes, it's 4 point hit and kdb can easily outscore Kane in next 5 weeks

  6. Party mode
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    TC KDB?

    Really tempted, thoughts anyone?

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

      Yeah - I think he gets about 15-20 points which I am happy to have tripled

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

      I would if I wasn't bench boosting

    3. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      but will he be rested?

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

        His minutes might get managed. He's to important to City. They need the points.

  7. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone rather keep Robbo than Son? Prefer Son’s fixtures post DGW I think

  8. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinez
    Cancelo/Robo/Coufal
    Soucek/Bruno/KDB/Salah(c)
    Wood/Vardy/Bamford

    I may save my FT and use no chips this week... no confidence on TC chip

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

    Is anyone sticking the armband on Vardy?

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

      Decent punt

    2. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      great shout

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

      Differential if you need to make up ground. Everyone will captain KDB or Salah if they don’t have KDB.

  10. Salalalalah
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you BB this?

    McCarthy TAYLOR Bamford Dallas

    Taylor has DGW but may just play 1

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

    A. Werner and Stones
    B. Martial and Cancelo

    Thoughts?

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

      A

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

      Don't like either striker but A if thats the only option. Stones is good enough

  12. Oliver Tockman
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Want to get Stones into this team:

    Def: Holding, Justin, Walker-Peters, Dallas, Coufal

    A) replace Holding
    B) replace Walker-Peters / Dallas / Coufal
    C) keep as is

  13. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    De Gea
    Cancelo, Dier, Holding, Dallas
    KDB, Rashford, Son
    Kane, Watkins, DCL
    (Martinez, Mahrez, Bissouma, Mitchell)

    A. DCL to Antonio
    B. Kane to Antonio, Mahrez to Salah (-4)
    C. FH

    Thanks!

  15. wulfrunian

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

      My hunch is he won’t

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

      I heard he's out.... But it may be a careless whisper

  16. In a Rush

    Bit of a different one but would love some thoughts on this. Also happy to help with anything else in return!

    Playing a predictor game where you pick a team each week to win, and score points for correct picks based on that teams position last year. (e.g. 1st-5th = 1 point. 16th, 17th and newly promoted = 4 points). You can't pick a team from the same point score in consecutive weeks. Games from Tuesday-Saturday are a different round in this game (no DGW).

    Can't decide whether to go with.
    A: Brighton vs Leeds this week for 3 points.
    Then West Ham vs West Brom next for 4 points.
    or
    B: West Ham vs Burnley for 4 points
    then Newcastle vs Villa for 3 points next week.

    I want to do A as think West Ham more likely to beat West Brom than Burnley but worried that Covid could cancel that game.

    Do I go with the risky move or play it Covid safe?

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

      Why might west ham v west brom be pp?

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        In case there is a Covid outbreak between now and then. Just saying it's unpredictable.

    2. Rochdale_Cowboy
      • 6 Years
