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.

    This worth a hit?

    Son, Zaha, Kilman > Salah, Soucek, Mitchell

    Can't afford it if Zaha drops.

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

      Yeh its definitely worth a hit

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

      I reckon so

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

      I would.

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years

      Cheers all. Hit taken.

    Ederson tc?

    1. zdrojo187
      • 9 Years

      24 points...?...nah

  3. Footieboot
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Keep Kane or Son?

    If I keep Kane I can roll with Kane, KDB, Salah and Bruno but have to play 4-4-2 with Dier or 3-5-2 with Smith Rowe going forward...

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

    Would you BB this?

    McCarthy
    Adams
    Dallas
    Taylor

    I’m leaning toward No

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

      No

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

    A OR B?

    A) Son & Kane --> KDB & Vardy (-4)
    B) Fabianki (doubt), Son, Adams --> Johnstone, KDB (c) & Antonio (-8

  6. Coys96

    Can't believe Rashford only 0.41% in captaincy poll - he's mine atm!

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Oops said error so posted twice

    2. _Ninja_

      He didn't look great the other day but got an assist. I think he could do well v Liverpool defence.

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

      He's awful. Although I'll give him an assist on my tasty free school meal this week

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Awful yet has more points than KdB, Mane & Sterling and has returned in every away game this season! 🙂

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

          TC him then

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years

            Using BB and not that confident!

    Do you believe that the MC v Villa game is safe just because Villa say it is on? It is putting me off the KDB captaincy.

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

      Yep

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      It’s definitely at risk imo

      What can you do though, mad old season

    3. Rochdale_Cowboy

      My city spy says if its not cancelled it will definitely go ahead. Hope that helps

  9. GE
    • 7 Years

    BB? If not, Bench order ok?
    (can only afford Brewster -> 5.9 forward)

    (0FT, 1.4 itb)

    Martinez
    Cancelo/Dias/Coufal
    Salah/KDB/Bruno/Son/Soucek
    Bamford/Antonio

    Bench: Messlier, Targett, Dallas, Brewster

  10. ReadyGestedeCook

    Kane Welbeck & McCarthy —> Vardy Antonio & Fabianski (-8)

    Yay or Nay

  11. gauzah
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anyone think that the best reason to TC Salah is the rest they've had? It's rare in a DGW that you have near certainty a top player like Salah is going to start and play 90 mins both games.

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

      A fully rested Salah with two home games in a DGW could be amazing

      I'm tempted especially with Thiago's return

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

      It’s a good shout but offset by not the best fixtures. In on BB and hoping for save TC for Spurs TGW on Kane!

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

        TGW is a pipe dream. I feel like TC is best played against the grain. The obvious ones always fail. I don't recall a good return for my TC picks lmao.

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am locking it in, got a feeling about Liverpool.. Think they will bounce back strong, and 2 games at Anfield

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

        Same my guy is telling me Liverpool are gonna stick it to Man United. Burnley and United both haven't had a rest. We know what Liverpool are like when they are in the mood.

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

      I'm going Salah capt, keeping TC for a brighton CB in a dgw obvs.

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

    Best Tierney Replacement up to £5.8m

    Maxed Utd/City/Ham

    Thinking

    A) Zouma
    B) Castagne

    Any others?

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

      A 100%

  13. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you lose Kane and Son to get Antonio and Salah(c) for -4 or keep the former and do KWP to Coufal.

  14. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford only 0.41% in captaincy poll... shocked. Doesn't affect my thinking, still my cap I think!

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Interesting... GL

    2. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      If you watched the Burnley game I think you wouldn’t cap

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I did, he had a off day and still returned. Capped there too.

      2. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Def no chance

        1. Coys96
          • 6 Years

          ?

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

    Mane, Wood, Martial >>> Rashford, Antonio, Vardy

    Worth -8?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely not

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you have Salah I would...

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

        I have Salah, but what;s difference?

  16. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    De Gea
    Dias Cancelo Coufal Robertson
    Salah TC De Bruyne Fernandes Soucek
    Antonio Wilson

    Martinez Bamford Smith-Rowe Yedlin

    Is worth a bench boost or just stick with my TC, I have a gut feeling about Salah...

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I dont like TC this GW. BB with Yedlin to someone with a DGW

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Already on -8 so won’t be doing anymore transfers

        1. Coys96
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Oh I see. Probably TC then, go with your gut

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yedlin does have a dbl

        1. Coys96
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Oh yes i forgot ! BB

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

      Go with your gut as if Salah gets a haul, you'll be kicking yourself

  17. wycombewanderers
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you bench out of:

    A) Grealish
    B) Watkins
    C) Soucek
    D) Bamford*

    * Only one with a single gw. Thanks

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

      Has to be Bamford with only the one game.

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

      Watkins probably for me

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

      Soucek

  18. Lazaretti
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If Villa haven't even started training is it sure Villa City game goes on?

  19. Robman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you sell or keep Kane and Son this week against the bottom team Sheffield United? I have 7 DGW players, but the only way I can get Salah and Antonio/Abraham is to sell them Kane and Son for a -4 hi. This would give me 9DGW players, which I'd be happy with.

    Son and Kane have 23 goals and 16 assists between them in 18 games and I would lose £0.6m in team value, if I wanted to bring them back in.

    What would the community do in this situation?
    a) Sell Kane and Son for Salah and Antonio for -4?
    b) Keep and play both and go without Salah and save transfers?

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This one is killing me. I've been racking my brain all day and still no answer. I'm a Man U fan too and ideally, I want Salah to blank.

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

      no way am i losing Son & Kane vs Sheff Utd

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

    McCarthy
    Cancelo Chilwell Coufal
    Salah KDB Bruno JWP Soucek
    Kane Bamford

    Steer JLewis Dallas Brewster

    0.4 itb 1 FT

    What would you change?

  21. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best transfer:

    1. Taylor >> Cancelo (have Dias)
    2. Stephens >> Soucek (have Antonio)
    3. Adams >> Watkins / Cavani

    Cheers!!

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1

  22. Ziyech on the Bench
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha, Son => Foden, Mane for -8?

  23. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is there anything to indicate that KDB won't play both matches this week?

    1. The Habib Beyes
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He looked knackered in the last game, hence why he didn't take the pen. No official word saying that he'll be rested though. If I were to guess he will start both, then they'll take him off at 60/70 if comfortably ahead.

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

        If he'd broken his leg I'd still rather he'd have taken it tbh.

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

        That's a ridiculous excuse to be too tired to take a penalty. Its only a few steps involved and he'd have had another goal to his name. I think he felt that the game was won and he let Sterling take it as he hasn't scored for a while.

        1. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          still hasnt

      3. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I am torn between Salah and KDB for captain and want to play TC this week. Salah will play 90 for both games and I can see them really showing up against United but KDB playing in that forward position could really do some damage and the ceiling is potentially higher

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

      No just some speculation as he looked so tired towards end of last game

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I mean he did say himself he was tired at the end of the game so not just speculation

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

      Pep said he is "exhausted", that's enough for me

  24. Redranger
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Kane & Coufal
    B) Vardy & Stones -4
