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.

    gw26 gonna be a double one, which teams are expected to play two games?

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

      Leeds, Saints, Spurs

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

        and Villa I guess?

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

    Anyone help? Son Laca and Kane to Antonio Salah and Vardy? Worth the hit?

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

      Deffo

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

      Defo. Lovely moves.

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

      I did those exact moves for -8 but it could all go terribly wrong.

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

        Good moves. +3DGW players.

  3. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Really appreciate some advice

    A) Son & Adams to Sterling/Mane & Antonio(-4)
    B) Kane Son Adams to Salah Antonio Vardy (-8)

    Thanks a lot

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

    Sorry repost but is it worth BB - Dallas, bamford , holding and non playing keeper?! Cheers

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

        Cheers AJax

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

      How confident are you about Leeds winning?

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

        I think they will but it sounds like not worth BB?

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

    4.0m Brewster Adams Dallas

    not BB material right?

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

      Not at all

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

      Hell no

    3. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Which is the better option:

      A) Kane, Son, Burke -> Antonio, Salah, Soucek (-8) Bench Dallas

      B) Rashford, Son -> Salah, Soucek (-4) Play Dallas

      1. Saka Punch
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry! In answer to your question no I wouldn't

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

      Correct

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

      Looks like you have 6pts on the bench, so NO.

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

    Is this worth a -8?

    Robbo, C.Jones, F.Silva > Stones, Gundogan, Antonio

    Would make a strong case for using the BB. Or a huge headache if not.

    Johnstone
    Stones, Cancelo, Coufal
    Salah, Gundogan, Bruno, Son, Soucek
    Kane, Antonio

    McCarthy, Dallas, Bamford, Lowton

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

      In the balance, but I'd go for it.

  7. 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 + Taylor + Bednarek -> Antonio + Lowton + Holding (-8)
    B) Adams + Bednarek -> Antonio + Holding (-4) (hope Taylor plays 1 game)
    C) Adams + Bowen + Bednarek -> Antonio + Foden + Holding (hope Taylor plays 1 game)

    Cheers!

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

      I'd just do Adams to Antonio for a free if you have 0.2ITB.

      I don't like any of the other transfers for hits.

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

    Any of these moves worth a hit u guys reckon?

    A) McCarthy ---> Mendy

    B) Dier ----> Cresswell

    C) Dier ---> Dias (have stones already)

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

      I think all 3 are good moves for the DGW, but I think Dier to Dias is the best move looking beyond GW19.

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

    Who scores more in dgw19.

    A....robbo and holding

    B.....cancelo and Chilwell - 4

    Thanks

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      B

  10. CFC1990
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think Gundogan is fairly nailed on?

    I suppose they could play KDB back there or maybe Fernandinho?

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

      If you heard Pep in the press conference today, I'd say nobody is nailed on for both games in DGW19. Not even KDB.

  11. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you bb this please?
    McCarthy
    Wilson
    Dallas
    Bednarek

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

      If you think Wilson will get 2 goals then worth BB. The rest of the Bench look like 2 pointers to me.

  12. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    West Ham imo will keep two cs

    3x West Ham defense = 36 points without bonus and potential attacking returns.. tempted to pull my FH just to do it

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

      Go for it

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

      It will end in tears

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

      Not worth your FH chip.

  13. Belli2007
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was all set for BB until Leeds fixture was cancelled and so now planning to hold onto in favour of adding DGW players

    Squad is currently.....(* = DGW)

    Meslier (Sanchez)
    Dias*, Zouma*, Konta* (KWP, Neco Williams)
    Salah*, Maddison*, Grealish*, Bruno* (Jones*)
    Kane, Bamford, Antonio*

    Already made 1FT bring in Antonio for DCL and have 1.4 in the bank.

    Clearly no KDB or City attack not ideal. To get KDB would require a hit of -8 and would need to ship Kane for a week and would cost me .3m to get back in. So options are....

    A - Jones > Soucek and bench Bamford (-4)
    B - Williams > Coufal or KWP > Cresswell and bench Bamford (-4)
    C - KWP & Jones > Mitchell & Foden and bench Bamford (-8)
    D - Sanchez to DGW Keeper Fab (risk), DDG, Martinez and play Bamford
    E - Stick and play Bamford
    F - Other

  14. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I think I am going to TC KDB he was in hard luck no to get massive scores in the last two games.

    I do have a quandary though I have 1.2m itb which means I could get Sterling out for Salah is it worth it? Will Sterling be benched for at least one of the two games?

        Look, Pretty much half way into the season and Kane is the 2nd highest point scorer with has 11 goals and 11 assists. Don't overthink it.

        1. Darnell Nurse
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          And that's why you make a change

    3. themaindanger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      22 and TC Salah

  25. iL PiStOlErO

  28. jomikijiq
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    To buy:

    A) Areola
    B) Johnstone

    Think Johnstone is marginally better this week, but future DGWs swing it for Areola at the moment for me

      Good moves

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

        Other option is keep Dallas and go
        Watkins to Antonio
        Or do all three moves for a - 8
