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.

    DGW transfer dilemma:

    Kane & Dallas > Vardy & Cresswell (-8) ???

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

    Shaw - is he likely to play both?

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

      You'd think Telles gets the easy one?

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

      That fat f**k?! No Chance!

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

      Txs, will stay away then. Other dgw defender options at max 4.4 other than Coufal?

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

        I checked this out earlier and Lowton was the only real option.

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

      Not sure Forster will play. I’m TC salah for what it’s worth

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

    Even a -20 is worth getting rid of that fraud Meslier

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

      what?

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

    Do you think that Balbuena will start vs WBrom?

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

      Doubt very much

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No, he’s out I believe

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

      Scout tweets would suggest not.

    4. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Flagged red so not playing him myself

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

    Barnes or Maddison

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

      Maddy is the main play maker

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

    Robbo or City defender?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      City for me

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

      City 'cause of better long term fixtures and price.

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

      City

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

        Cheers, Robbo & Watkins > City def & Antonio (one less Villa to worry about) play BB & C Salah

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

          Johnson,
          Zouma, Robbo, Stones,
          Bruno, Son, Grealish, Salah
          Kane, Bamford, Watkins

          Martinez, Soucek, Coufal, Dallas

    4. Warby84

  10. bautasten
    • 6 Years

    Sorry, bottomed:

    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!

  11. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Will BB this week and so happy to take a hit or two. Which option looks best?

    A - Robbo & Son > KDB & Shaw for -4
    B - Robbo, Son & Balbuena > KDB, Shaw and Robinson for -8
    C - Son, Kane & Balbuena > KDB, Antonio & Coufal for -8

    Johnstone
    Robbo - Justin - Dallas - Stones
    Salah - Bruno - Soucek - Son
    Kane - Bamford

    McCarthy - Rafinha - Adams - Balbuena 

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

      I assume you're transferring out Robbo to facilitate the other transfers?

      I'd go with C

      1. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Correct. I'd rather not lose Robbo but it's either him or Kane to fund KDB

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

      C

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

    Is steer, kwp, bissouma, dcl -> martinez, stones, soucek, watkins mad?

    Would give me

    Martinez* meslier
    Stones* robbo* Chilwell* justin* dallas
    Salah* (c) bruno* grealish* soucek* lookman*
    Watkins* kane bamford

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

      Would be a -12

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I think you will more than make that 12 points back

  13. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How are Leeds back to getting a DGW?

    1. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They arnt

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

      They aren't yet. If Shrews pull out the cup (which I doubt as they seem intent on playing) there's a small chance Leeds saints in next midweek.

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

        So you're saying a DGW20 is possible for them?

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

          I think it would be in 19 as well...

    3. boroie
      • 5 Years

  14. hammersp2000
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fabianski tweeted he was ready for the game a few hours ago.

    Do we think he'll play? Moyes wasn't very helpful

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think so, I’ve played my bb with him anyway because the thought of not playing it then he gets 12-15 points is horrible

  15. Nemanja Vidic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sell Regulion or Saiss?

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

    A - Son to Rashford
    B - Adams to Antonio
    C - Save FT

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

      B

  17. tuturututu
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Fabianski fit?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Moyes says they have to see, fab tweeted an hour or 2 ago saying he’s ‘ready’ so you to you what you make of that

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

        Moyes holding his cards close to his chest, Fab spilling them all over the tea

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

      Yes

  18. dsefton
    • 8 Years

    Best replacement for Tierney 5.4m or under?
    A) Justin
    B) James
    C) other?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Justin atm

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

        Assuming you don't have Stones

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

          *You have Stones

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

          I have 3 City, United and west ham

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

      If I hadn’t upgraded to robbo, it would have been Reece James

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

        Do you think he plays twice?

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

    Raphinha to Foden for a hit
    Yay or Nay?

  20. FPLMarc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Struggling here, without having De Bruyne.

    OPTION 1 - Dawson for C Taylor
    No bench boost, no KDB/Antonio

    OPTION 2 - Coufal & Antonio for Dunne & DCL
    4pt hit, no KDB, not worth a bench boost (with Forster, Mitchell, inj Taylor) but means Grealish/Bamford will be benched

    OPTION 3 - Coufal, KDB & Antonio for Dunne, Grealish & Kane
    8pt hit, sells 2 big players but I'd own KDB, no bench boost

    OPTION 4 - Other

  21. bautasten
    • 6 Years

    C...would rather go city def in A or B.

      No

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA

  25. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking of getting rid of Bruno is it wise? Might not get much against Liverpool and could lick up a yellow and miss Fulham?
    Martinez
    Konsa Holding Stones
    Salah Son Bruno Soucek
    Firmino Bamford Kane

    Steele Saka Mitchell Kilman

    Bruno becomes KDB

    Cheers

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

      I would advise against that, kdb could be benched and it seems sideways. Kane to antonio and saka to kdb if youve got enough itb.

    Is Ruben Dias a good goal threat? His 1 in 10 goal to game ratio for Benfica looks strong.

    He seems due a goal.

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

      He is due

  27. Garfield1001

    Was thinking Dallas (£4.7) to Coufal (£4.7)

    McCarthy
    Stones Dallas Konsa Justin

    -4 team... switched the armband! G2G?

    Johnstone*
    Robbo*, Dias*, Coufal*, Lowton*

    Antonio*, Bamford

    Martinez
    Dias - Cancelo - Maguire - Reguilon (Kilman)
    Son - Fernandes - KDB - Salah (Smith Rowe)
    Bamford - Adams (Brewster)

    A) Adams > Antonio
    B) Kilman + Adams > Creswell + Davies (-4)
    C) Regilion > Cresswell

    Leaning towards B because I have no West Ham defence, what do you guys think?
