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.

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

        Would if I had any spare cash. My transfers are Stephens / Laca > Madison / Antonio. Leaves me nil itb

  11. Herman Toothrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Just hit the Triple Captain button.

    Martinez
    Coufal / Stones / Cancello
    KDB C / Bruno / Son / Rashford / Soucek
    Antonio / Vardy

    Currently on a -4 with all other chips in tact.

    A little apprehensive about not having Salah but...can't have them all.

    Good luck everybody

    Bottomed

    Which pair scores more?

    A. Alisson + Ogbonna
    B. Martinez + Antonio

    On FH. So just for 1 gw.

    1. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have B.

      Hopefully B.

    2. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

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

    How much of a madness is triple
    Captaining Antonio?

    Chasing over 100 points in my ML

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

      Extremely mad. He's played one full match so far and was dreadful. Stick it on Cresswell if you want to punt.

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

      Its mental. But ive heard of stupider punts.

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

      Former Forest player - got to do it

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

      its a huge risk, i remember TCing Mane last season for him to get 1 pt getting injured in the first half...

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

        Kane couple of years ago 3 points total

    5. Kante Touch This
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It'd say too big a risk.. I've considered Vardy TC as something different, I'm in a similar boat, but 2 home games and he's been poor at home

  14. Henning
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How many yellow card has Tielemans

  15. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Salah and Sterling

    B) Mane and KdB

    Would have to take a -8 to get Salah and KdB and would involve losing Pope for Areola

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

      A

  16. tibollom

    Who is going Sterling over KDB? I know you're out there. Somewhere.

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

      Thinking about it. Would give me enough for Brewster to Watkins.

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

        Could be worth a shot.

  18. Abaddon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How bad do I need Salah

    Do I need him that bad that I do

    Kane and Son to Cavani (or somone cheaper) and salah for -4?

  19. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) No BB (-4)
    Johnstone
    Justin Coufal Stones Lowton
    Salah KDB Soucek Bruno
    Vardy Bamford
    (McCarthy, Dallas, Raph, Adams)

    B) BB (-12)
    Martinez
    Justin Stones Dias Coufal
    Son Bruno Salah Soucek
    Vardy Antonio
    (Johnstone, Raph, Dallas, Bamford)

    TAA Coufal Dias Stones
    KDB (c) Salah Bruno Grealish

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

    Captain Salah or Vardy?

  22. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you BB with:

    Martinez, Dallas, Adams, Bissouma?

    Currently not planning to

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

      i would not.

  23. OLLY G
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any chance Cancelo might be rotated one of the two games?

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

      There's always a chance with Pep, fixture list is tough for City too

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

      Yes

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

    Son>KDB (-4) no brainer right?

    I also have Kane so I think should be decent in terms of spurs coverage

  25. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    All who gets more Points a) Dawson or b) Antonio?

  26. nolard
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Neto out for a hit?

    got 9.3 to spend.

    Ideas:
    Foden?
    Pogba?
    Thiago?
    El Ghazi?

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

      depends who will be filling in for Neto. Or are u doing BB?

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

        Anguissa. No BB.

    2. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek

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

        Yes, but no KDB makes mw look to Foden.
        But I fear benching,

        Which of my options do you prefer?

        1. Ozzy smith
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I take a different perspective on the game mate. Foden won’t get you KDB’s points. If we all knew Foden was going to start both games we’d all be bringing him in, no doubt. Up to you if you’re happy to take the gamble? If not, I’d go Soucek personally. Big no to your other options.

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

            Appreciate the input.
            I just cannot fit KDB in without too much costs.
            Soucek it is.

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

    No one worried Kev is a bit of a bottle job after giving Skyheem the pen?

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

      Its not a great look. Sure he was exhausted, but a player with cojones would have taken that penalty.

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

        Imagine Salah saying he’s too tired to take it 😆

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

          Exactly. KDB is an incredible player, but makes you wonder if he has that selfish, win at all costs mentality that the many greats have had.

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

            They were leading and it was in injury time. A bit of a reach to question his mentality, I'd say. Best player in the league.

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

              Maybe I never worded that correctly.

              I'm not doubting or questioning his ability or talent. I agree, 100% I think he's the best in the league too.

              But you have to admit, that that's an incredibly rare thing to see a top player, decline to take a penalty, because they're too tired.

              How do you know he would have taken it if the score had been 0-0?

              Would you have seen Yaya decline a penalty because he was exhausted? Doubtful.

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

      Yeah and a rotation/reduced minute risk - I have changed captaincy to Salah and TCd

  28. Kante Touch This
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Already taken a -4 hit for Antonio and KDB (for DCL and Son)

    I'm considering an extra punt, mainly due to the fact Taylor is unlikely to play both games

    A) Klich to Foden
    B) Klich to Hudson-Odoi (Big punt)
    C) Do nothing, start Lookman over Klich

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

      Klich to Foden.

      Foden could score big this week IMO

  29. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    OK, say I could do this for a -12

    Giroud / Brewster / Son / Dier / Ederson
    ->
    Vardy / Antonio / Soucek / Cancelo / Johnstone

    Yay or nay?

    1. Kante Touch This
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Are you BB'ing?

      12pts is quite a hit

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

        Yeah, bench boosting. It's a pretty substantial hit, BUT -

        - Medium term, I prefer these players, so would have made similar moves over the next few weeks.

        - Wanted to get money away from the expensive goalkeeper for a while, this allows that.

        - By player on player comparison, I think the new players have potential to seriously outscore the players I'm transferring out. Only worry would be Son, but reckon Soucek could match him between this weeks double and next week vs Palace.

        - I'm replacing 2 x SGW/3 x DGW with 5 x DGW, which should soften the hit.

        I'm really tempted to do it, but worried I'm getting caught up in the DGW/BB fever.
