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.

    Martial to Antonio?

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

      Hard to tell, might be a yes for me if it's for a free and you're happy with the other players

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

      I wouldn't no

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

      I wouldn't do it, not for Martial. If it was a cheaper striker or a striker with 1 game this week, then yes.

    4. Pukkipartyy
      • 5 Years

      Yes

  2. AYLD28

    Is Dias > Cancelo worth a minus 4

    Or is it “okay” to roll with Dias & Stones

      This is one of the weirdest ones I’ve seen.

    4. Uncle John from Jamaica
      • 11 Years

      Why would you make such a sideways more for a -4.

      Dias most nailed on of all the City defenders.

    5. JJeyy
      • 8 Years

      Are you high?

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

      Cancelo could be rested for Walker. Save

      Spice is a helluva drug

    How risky is it to captain Rashford over KDB ?

    Well, being a United fan can't allow me to captain Salah and KDB can be rotated. Also, away games have been kind to Rashford.

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

      You reckon KDB might get his rest?

      1. jai1212
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Probably

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

      Scale of 1-10, it's nuts.

      Anything *can* work, obviously.

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

      Sorry but think you being a Utd fan is biasing you too much. Rash may have got an assist but didn't look very good last match, KDB is a much better option.

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

      any other options? Vardy, Son, Kane, Antonio?

  4. pundit of punts

    Safe to activate FH?

    Can there be covid related issues tomorrow before deadline?

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

      Not much point activating it now is there, just play it safe

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Price changes though

        Can’t get the team I want tomorrow

        1. Flair

          You know the risks

              Haha, I read it many years ago, probably the upcoming movie driving it a bit!

              Same director as Bladerunner 2049 and Arrival so hoping it’s going to be good!

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years

      I always figure if you don’t even know who to put in for one of the options then the other is the one to go for.

      B

    Better option for this week?

    A) Start Raphinha (BHA)
    B) Bench Raphinha & get Coufal (WBA, BUR) for a -4

    Reading about this possibility that leeds v saints may go ahead after all is making my head hurt. Surely if its not announced before deadline they cant reinstate it in gw19 can they?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

          • 7 Years

          I don't think they'll play a match on a day's notice

          1. Majestic Chanka
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            No but it could be put in with two days notice on Monday, same as what Fulham got

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

    For those that aren't playing BB, are you going to TC? I'm thinking TC might be best on someone like Kane who will play more and higher ceiling

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

      Not TCing

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

    Meslier out for Ederson FT?

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

      Should pay dividends

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

    Any of the following worth a hit? (already on -4)

    A. Mendy>Soucek (bench Dallas)
    B. Mendy>Foden
    C. Dallas>Cancelo (bench Bamford)
    D. Grealish/Adams>Foden or Soucek & Vardy (-8)

    McCarthy
    Dias, Justin, Dallas, Coufal
    Fernandes, Grealish, KDB, Salah
    Bamford, Antonio
    Steer, Mitchell, Mendy, Adams

  15. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rapinha to Gundogan or Soucek for free or stick with him and roll the transfer?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      soucek

  16. Manani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio + Son
    or
    Adams + KDB (-4)

    second option will leave me with Soucek as 7th attacker for foreseeable future

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

  17. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio or Watkins for my Adams replacement?

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

      I think I'm going Watkins, some concerns re COVID outbreak and impact on players, Watkins may even be one of them for all we know ! But still some time to go before games and he's a decent long term pick.

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

    Kane to KDB(c) for a 8 point hit?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      nah

    2. Emre Can Pie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Other transfers?

    3. OptimusBlack

      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

  19. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    GTG here? Or anything worth a hit?

    McCarthy
    Dias, Cresswell, Robertson
    Salah, KDB, Grealish, Raphinha, Bruno
    Antonio, Bamford

    Martin, Taylor, Kilman, Welbeck

      If Bamford hauls, BB could work.
      Expect a fall with all the chip use.

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cool, I’ll take a fall and hopefully capitalise later in the season

    2. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Any hits? If no, I think you have every chance for a green even without a chip

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 5 Years

        No hits

    As a Chelsea fan I find it distressing how people are buying Werner again.

    I find it even more distressing that I also want to buy him.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      As a non chelsea fan I’m hoping a James/Chilwell double up is still viable come GW30 & Lamps hasn’t burned the place to the ground

      Dem fixtures

        • 3 Years

        Tuchel will have Havertz and Timo lighting fires

    2. Dank Squid
      • 5 Years

      Zouma has scored the same amount of goals (so far), cut-price option

      Same. Ziyech back to transform the team with his creativity, Fulham leaving space on the counter, I'm so tempted

  24. Muscout
    • 4 Years

    Best DGW Mid 7m or under?
    A) H Barnes
    B) Foden (risky)
    C) Gündogan
    D) Mount

    1. zdrojo187

    Martinez, De Gea or mendy

  27. Dannyb

    Meslier, Steer

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years

      What formation? 433? If so, GTG

      1. JelliedSpark968
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        was thinking 3-4-3, Justin first on bench

  29. Legohair
    • 7 Years

    Is lindelöf,adams and mccarthy to martinez,antonio and mitchell good move for -8?(not using bb)

  30. George James
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best downgrade to do Son >> Salah

    A) James > Mitchel (Play saka)

    B) Saka > 4.3 mid (Play James)

    C) Robertson > Cresswell / Chilwell

    D) Bruno > Rashford

    1. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A, now Mitchell seems back in favour
