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.

    Best BB second keeper to go with Martinez under 5.2m
    A) Areola
    B) Mendy
    C) Johnstone

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C for me

    2. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C

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

      A

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C

    5. Saint Tim

      C

    Injuries and fixtures have ended my BB dream and I currently have no city. I could do

    Son & Grealish to KDB & Soucek (-4)
    For another hit I could also get Stones and bench Adams.

    Either of those moves worth it?

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

      I like KDB and Soucek

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

        I would take the extra and get stones - very good odds on him getting 2 x 6 point returns

        1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks guys

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

    Taylor + Adams - - - Coufal + Antonio

    Both to play, worth a - 4?

    1. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yee

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

      Good move

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

      Just Taylor to Coufal for free IMO

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

        I would, adams is 2 points and Antonio is likely to score
        Taylor unlikely to play both and cougar likely to get at least one return so your hit should be covered with interest

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

          COUGAR UUUHH

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

      I can swap Taylor for Balbuena going out, but both are useless

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

    Martinez - Johnstone
    Chilwell - Dallas - Coufal - Taylor - Bednarek*
    Salah - Bruno - Rashford - Grealish - Bowen*
    Kane - Bamford - Adams*

    Pick a move for my BB team:

    A) Adams + Bowen + Bednarek -> Antonio + Foden + Dawson (-8)
    B) Adams + Bednarek -> Antonio + Holding (-4)
    C) Adams + Bednarek -> Antonio + Lowton (doubling up with Taylor) (-4)

    Cheers!

    1. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

  5. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford + Son -> Salah (C) & Soucek (-4) ?
    Got no WC and would leave me with 1.6 ITB to build towards BB in DGW26. Probably starting with ESR -> Caveleiro next GW 🙂

    Would give me:
    Areola
    AWB - Dias - Stones - Coufal
    (C)Salah - KDB - Bruno - Soucek
    Kane - Antonio

    (Martínez, Holding, Smith Rowe, Brewster)

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

      Could also just go without Soucek and get in Caveleiro now, but Fulham got a tough DGW

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

    would you bench boost this? Have Johnstone starting ahead of Fabianski since hes an injury doubt and not projected in team news page...

    Fabianski Raphinha Rodrigo DecordovaReid

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

      Yes

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

    Would you bench boost with a bench consisting of:

    Bamford, Raphinha and Dallas?

    1. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      No keeper?

      1. corderz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        And Johnstone (for a -4)

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

      Only 3, nope

      1. corderz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        And Johnstone (for a -4)

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

    Start 2...
    A - Son
    B - Bamford
    C - Antonio
    D - Targett

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

      Antonio, and coin toss between Son and Bamford.

    2. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      AC

  9. LloristheHounds
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    TAA, Dallas, Watkins
    To
    Stones, Chillwell, Antonio

    For - 8???

    Martinez
    Dallas, TAA, cancelo
    Salah, Bruno, KDB, son, soucek
    Bamford, Watkins

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

    Salah will do nothing this week, I’m convinced yet resolve is slipping.

    Son and martial -> Salah and Antonio

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

    (A) Cresswell and Stones

    (B) Coufal and Cancelo

    Thanks.

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

      Scared of rotation with B....

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

      B

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

      Much of a muchness

      A) is more nailed and I’d go for that

  12. DisSol
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wood - martial ?

  13. NejiHyuuga01
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Decided not to rush the TC chip on KDB or Salah. In case of a Triple GW (which is not unlikely to happen) I do not have a large enough sofa to hide behind.

    Plus there will be other mini doubles when we can plan the TC without the anxiety of KDB being rested and Salah being out of form.

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

      Agreed on Salah, but when will there ever be no anxiety of KDB being rested? No CL at present, and an easy FA match to follow... I can’t see a better chance so I’m going for it

  14. Ohh1454
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    With Leeds potentially having a double would you do Kane > bamford or Antonio

    1. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Antonio

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

      Highly unlikely (unless something is confirmed before deadline which is as well highly unlikely)

    3. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Might they!?

      1. Gandalf

        Nah it's a complete no-story. Their coach still having issues but that's it

  15. Whazza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Highest RMT points projection here for BB teams?
    I'll start with 134

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      110.75 (-4) without

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

      I'd like to know too....considering wood to either cavani or martial

  17. LJJH1984
    • 3 Years

    Martinez or Johnstone?

    1. dunas_dog

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    Mccarthy
    TAA Dias Stones Coufal
    Salah Bruno KDB Grealish

    Awkward situation. Bench bamford watkins or antonio??

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

      Bamford

  20. iveseenitall
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) kdb for a -8
    B) sterling for a -4

    I have enough players with a dgw with just the sterling transfer too

  21. jay01

    Feel so crap about my team stuck at 1 mil. Anyone know what to do with this? Im so lost with 1 ft and 4.3 ITB

    Martinez Steer

  22. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    kane son and laca to antonio vardy and salah worth a -8 (which is actually -4)?

    using BB

    1. Saint Tim
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes. Nice moves

    Currently have

    Johnstone
    Justin, Stones, Coufal
    Bruno, Salah, Mane, Soucek, Son
    Bamford, Antonio
    Bench: Meslier, Dallas, Adams, KWP

    Is Mane+Son -> KDB+Rashford worth taking a -8pts hit for?

    1. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

  24. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I’m stuck! Do I need to find a way to get KDB?

    Johnston
    Robertson Stones Coufal
    Salah Fernandes Rashford Son Soucek
    Wood Bamford

    (McCarthy Adams Dallas Taylor)

    1. D.Glynn

      I'm going without

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

        Me too at the moment would have to sacrifice Kane and grealish

    2. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I really don’t see a way but I did Trent and Son to KDB and Cresswell, almost similar to your team. Didn’t really liked what I saw from Trent the last games though, Robertson a keeper for this gw.

      Nice grav by the way, also runner just like me? 🙂

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks very much. Was considering something a little similar... Son & Adams > KDB & Davis??

        Thanks re grav- sure am

        1. Sir Edo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hi guys would you do Son and DCL to Kdb and Antonio on -4?
    Second question would you trigger bench boost with that squad?

    Martinez
    Dier/Justin/Cancelo
    Son/Fernandes/Salah/Grealish
    Watkins/DCL/Bamford

    Bench: Forster/KWP/Anguissa/Taylor

    3 years, 2 months ago

    I think this is spam is worth it since it is potential BB gamechanger.

    Is it possible to add a game (Lee-Sot) for the FPL gw after the FPL deadline has passed? This question after recent news that the game could be played.

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

      Could be played, but of coursw no date for the game was given, so thus confirming if adding a game to gw after dl is even theoretically possible.

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

      yawn

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

        😀 ok

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

          Has a game ever been added to the gw after deadline? Would that be a fair call? 🙂

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

            Unprecedented times.

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

              If it does get confirmed and played I can’t see how fpl could just ignore the match.

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

                Fair point

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

                This. But also unfair to add the game after dl. Quite a paradox.

    This is a huge Antonio wagon, going to be sad when he limps off after 20 mins

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Will cry... tears of joy because he will get a hattrick before then

  30. bautasten

    Martinez (Johnstone)
    Robertson, Coufal, Dallas (KWP, Ferguson*)
    Grealish, Salah, Fernandes, Soucek, Raphinha
    Bamford, Kane (DCL*)

    Which -8 do you prefer:
    A) DCL, Ferguson, KWP -> Antonio, Cancelo, Stones (Play BB)
    B) DCL, Raphinha, Robertson -> Brewster, KDB, Cancelo
    C) Kane, Raphinha, KWP -> Antonio, KDB, Stones

    Thanks!
