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.

    Activate BB?

    Johnstone
    Dawson Robbo, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, Grealish, KDB, Raphinha
    Bamford, Watkins

    McCarthy, Adams, KWP, Dallas

    1. daitheboot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not for me. Looking at probably between 12 and 15 points on BB. Would you be happy with that?

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

      No

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

    In your opinion who is the best DF to have out of the following for the next few GWs

    Furlong
    Holding
    Mitchell

    Any ideas would be welcomed

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

      Mitchell, if hes gonna stay out, then he should be cheap

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

    Pope Johnstone
    Cancelo Justin Coufal Alioski* Dier*
    Bruno Salah Mane Soucek Raphinha*
    Martial? Wood Bamford*
    1ft., 0.2m itb.

    a) play BB
    b) Mane >>> KDB
    c) Martial >>> Antonio
    d) Raphinha + Martial >>> Ziyech + Antonio (-4)
    e) Martial + Mane >>> Vardy + Rashford (-4)
    f) another option?

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

      B for me

  4. Little Frank
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who do you think will score more points this DGW:
    a. Creswell
    b. Watkins

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

      A

  5. SM001
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is anyone else's head hurting?

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

      Big time

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have no idea what to do

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Will be in the morning after this bottle of scotch.

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

      Yes, but that probably indicates doing nothing is the best option... no chip and no or 1 hit if possible?

      1. SM001
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Or just go "F**k it!" and spend points and use your BB.

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

    James Justin or Reece James?

  7. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    One popular question, on bring question if you please.

    TC Salah, Vardy or KDB?

    Start Holding or Dallas?

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dallas. KDB.

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm tempted to captain Vardy this week, but not sure on TC.

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

    McCarthy&Adams to Martinez&Antonio worth -8p?

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

      I think yes.

  9. bobfredbob
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    RMT please! Planning on BB.

    Mendy
    Robbo, Coufal, Stones, Lowton
    Salah, Fernandes, Rashford, Foden, Lookman
    Firmino

    Bench: Meslier, Dallas, Bamford, Brewster

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

      Perhaps hold on BB for another DGW, before which you could play WC in order to get all 15 solid players for that BB chip.

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

    Play Martinez or Johnstone?

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

      Martinez. Two clean sheets incoming :).

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

        Both

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martinez. WBA are hopeless + villa should get 1 clean sheet against Newcastle

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

      Martinez, he'll get a couple of save points against City, and you can hope realistically for a CS against New.

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

      Martinez

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

      Martinez

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

    How's this looking for a DGW side? Would you change anything:
    Martinez
    Creswell - Justin - Stones - Reguilon
    Sterling - KDB (3xC) - Rashford - Bruno - Bowen
    Antonio
    bench: Forster, Che Adams, Davis, Mitchell

  12. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Grealish + Taylor
    B) Bissouma + Robertson

    To KDB + Cancelo

    Kane to Antonio is funding it

  13. Fabregasm
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Gundogan and Klich/Charlie Taylor or
    B) Foden and Bobby Reid (-4)

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

    How does this look for this week? might triple captain KDB

    Martinez
    Dias, Robertson, Coufal, Dallas*
    Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Grealish
    Antonio, Bamford*
    Johnstone | Adams, Mitchell, Bissouma

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

      Triple KDB looks tempting. I'll go for it.

  15. QUEN
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So trying to get dgw max was hoping to get Adams and Watkins but obv circumstances change

    Dcl and Brewster to Watkins and £6.3m max.

    Only real option is Wood isn’t it? Antonio hasn’t been playing

  16. Fernandito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best combo guys?

    A Schmeichel & Foden
    B Fabianski & Foden
    C Fabianski & H Barnes

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

      B

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

      A just because of Fabianski

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

      B

  17. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bobby-Decordova Reid at 5.3m an option?
    Has double then 2 good games. Cheap enough to be benched.

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

      On 4 YCs though

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Hadn’t noticed that, thanks

  18. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    McCarthy lost his place to Forster? Best keeper to bring in to replace? Have 3 City so not Ederson

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Of course he hasn't. McCarthy is back now.

  19. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Looking increasingly likely that the Leeds/Southampton game goes ahead but we will not know until past tomorrow’s FPL deadline. Huge dilemma Face with open mouth and cold sweat

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

      Face with open mouth and cold sweat* hehehe

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why is it more likely? There is no pressure on Saints or Leeds to play it as they aren't in Europe.

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

        Okay so:
        The Shrewsbury coach has tested positive for covid earlier today. Might be more cases within the club.

        Southampton coach is planning for the possibility that the Leeds game actually goes ahead.

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I know that but why is it more likely than this morning? I don't see it needing to be rushed back into this week.

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

            I think they are waiting the PL to decide.

            1. FPL.team
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Just saw you said he's inside the team so not just a randomer. That does change things a bit if that's the case.

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

      Is he only reacting to RHs comments or have Shrewsbury commented?

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

        He is inside the team.

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

          Ok thanks

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

      This is just pure speculation.
      Nothing more, there is nothing to the runour other than RH saying they have to prepare for all scenarios.

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

        This guy is reliable.Last week knew about McCarthy's illness and Adams' injury.

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

      Leeds sellers gonna be punished

    6. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's guesswork.

      Shrewsbury haven't played for a long time so no guarantee they will make it admittedly.

    7. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Feel like they are being a little too quick to rearrange these fixtures.

    8. SM001
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      My head has officially exploded.

    a) do just mccarthy to johnstone
    b ) mccarthy to johnstone + targett to stones exact (-4)

    ??

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

    Best options for double

    A Stones or
    B Cancelo

    1 Johnstone or
    2 Areola

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

    Best keeper for DGW?

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

      Ederson

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

        Possibly most nailed on Citeh tbf

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

      Fabianski

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

        Is he fit?

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

          Yeah - think he posted on social media

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

      Ederson

    4. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Pickford. He definitely won’t concede this week.

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

        😀

  24. Bonus magnet
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    11 DGW players

    Suggestions welcome

    Martinez
    Chilwell Stones Coufal
    Sterling Foden Bruno Salah Maddison
    Werner Antonio

    1. Uncle John from Jamaica
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Werner not done a lot and not guarnteed to start. Can you get to Vardy?

      1. Bonus magnet
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Maddison -> Soucek

        Werner -> vardy

        Fulham looks tasty though

  25. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Son/DCL>KDB/Antonio (-4) Y/N

    McCarthy
    Dias, Justin, Dallas, Coufal, N
    Fernandes, Grealish, Son, Salah
    Bamford, Adams
    Steer, Mitchell, Mendy, DCL

  26. Harmonica1967
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is this worth a -8?

    DCL, JWP, Lamptey to Antonio, Barnes, Cresswell

    1. Uncle John from Jamaica
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      yes for my mind

  27. gomez123
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Good enough to BB??....Y/N....worried about no Man City but Pep is Pep
    Martinez*/Aerola*
    TAA*/Justin*/Coufal*/Dallas/Mitchell
    Salah(c)*/Bruno*/Soucek*/Anguissa*/Son
    Antonio*/Kane/Bamford

  28. Uncle John from Jamaica
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On a free hit and need 0.7m to upgrade Firmino to Vardy. Obvious way for me is Dias to Stones. Cant work out of Stone is a risk as I think Dias is as nailed as they come?

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

      Pretty safe route

  29. Gymer11
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Evening all quick question looking to maximise the double gameweek 19 without bench boost...
    Current team -
    Martinez
    Justin coufal kwp
    Son Bruno salah grealish soucek
    Bamford Vardy

    Steer Dallas Brewster kilman

    Would you transfer
    A Son , KWP & kilman for kdb stones cancelo for -8 (11dgw players )
    B son & kwp - kdb and cancelo for -4 (10dgw playing bamford )
    C son KWP & Brewster for kdb stones and Antonio for -8 (11dgw players)

  30. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    best forward under 7.3m? (not Bamford)

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

      Antonio - easy.

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

      Antonio or Watkins
