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.

    Hi everyone,

    Do you think it's worth doing Robertson and Son out for Stones and KDB for a 4 point hit?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      When you write it down like that, no

      Although I just did that exact move, haha

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

      Are you planning on captaining KDB? If yes, then I think you profit.

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Defo not

    4. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve kept Robbo...keep telling myself I could do so much with the money but still stay strong.

    5. Greasy Grealish Gang

      So odd, my exact plan but for next week. I'd say one week to early when it comes to pulling that trigger brother.

      Torn on this move, know i'm going to regret selling Robertson

      Thanks, all, for your feedback.

    Already on a -4 this week on a bench boost team. Is it worth going from Bellerin to Stones for -8?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah

  3. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you bench boost this

    Johnston, kwp, raphinia, bamford

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Many will face this question. It's a nice bench. I'd consider it.

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

      Yes

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

      I think it’s pretty decent..

      What about
      Martinez** Bamford Smith-Rowe Yedlin**

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm

        Smith Rowe might not even play.

        If you have fh stil then no. If you have used fh already then do it

  4. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Meslier
    Cancelo Justin Coufal
    Salah Bruno Son Soucek
    Kane DCL Bamford

    McCarthy Dallas Lowton Romeu

    O.2 itb

    Was all set on BB but now choose one:

    A) DCL to Antonio
    B) Son + DCL to KdB(C) + Fabio Silva for -4
    C) Son + DCL to KdB(C) + Brewster for -4 and play Lowton instead Brewster

    Cheers.

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

    Which scores most this week?

    A. Stones (-4)
    B. Antonio (-4)
    C. Adams

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I hope B ...but probably A

  6. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any new on R James? Think he'll start them both?

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

      Hope so, but it's hope more than optimism.

        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Well, hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.

        Right, I'm playing him. Done for the night, I think. Good luck RD. Everyone else too. 😀

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

          You too, mate.

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

    A) kane, neto > antonio, sterling -4

    B) kane, neto, dier > antonio, kdb, def under 4.8 -8

    1. cuppatea78
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B with Coufal as the final defender might be worth it

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

        Thing is that would mean benching a dgw player which made me think twice

  8. balint84
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lowton to Dawson for -4?

  9. cuppatea78
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    who to buy?

    A) Cancelo
    B) Dias

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias

    3. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B is sure starter

  10. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Only thing stopping me from TCing Bruno is fear of the YC

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

      Liverpool will dominate from 1st whistle a bit like the spurs game..

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

        Didnt Spurs have higher xg?

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

      That fear will puts lots of people off, so you could really profit if you think it's worth the gamble.

  11. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any update on Fabianski? In my sons team. Not sure whether to hold or sell. Cheers.

  12. BAMBAA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Am I drunk enough to do Kane, Son, Button -> Watkins, De Bruyne, Martinez for -12? Would BB with Johnstone, Dallas, Alioski, Bamford

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

        I would need to be unconscious and someone else having taken over my team for that!

        Brighton will likely score against Leeds and your BB barely breaks even with your hit.

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

          Hmm, I guess my tolerance of alcohol is not what it used to be few years back. This only needed 2 glasses of wine..

    2. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I hope you're not so drunk as to do that.

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

      Drink more!

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Actually don't!!!

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

  15. Manani

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Holding

  16. Gunners in Haaland

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins or Wilson?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Watkins

    2. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Watkins for sure

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

      Watkins - better team.

    4. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years

    5. Gunners in Haaland

  17. Fergiesarmy

    Dawson or Coufal in for Balbuena?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Coufal

  18. What Else
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Evening gents! 9/11 DGW.

    Meslier
    Coufal*, Dias*, Chillwell*
    KDB*, Salah*, Bruno*, Grealish*, Soucek*
    Antonio*, Bamford

    (Ryan, Dier, Adams, Walker-Peters)

    Would you BB this lot?

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good. No Spurs or Arsenal though

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

    Kane to Vardy for a -4?

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

      reckon Kane will bag 8-10 pts so will Vardy net you 14 its? close call

  20. WrightnBright
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Think I'm going with this for a -12 BB, slight differential with double LIV mid & KDB?

    Yes the bench isn't strong but simply using it to hopefully pay off the hits and use as a mini wildcard, can't wait to be rid of it tbh!

    Kane,KWP,DCL,Romeu to Brewster,Stones,Antonio,KDB

    Martinez
    Stones Justin Coufal Cresswell
    Salah Mane KDB (C) Bruno Soucek
    Antonio

    Button Bamford Dallas Brewster

    1. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      So you’re inflicting -12 for Bamford and Dallas and using your BB. Doesn’t feel right to me.

  21. geoffrolph
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My current team:

    Martínez
    Cancelo, Coufal, Dias, Wan-Bissaka
    Fernando's, De Bruyne, Soucek, Son
    Wilson, Kane

    Bench: Leno, Bamford, Saka, Dallas

    Squad value:
    £104.4
    In the bank:
    £1.00

    1 ft, wanted to take a hit - 8, maybe even a - 12 if it gets my a BB team. Tried to fit in Vardy, Salah, Antonio but I can't seem to make of work. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Hi would you take a hit for a 4.6 defender?

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends who out and who in

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

    With 3 blanks in a row is Salah C enough or should I take a chance with TC.

  27. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years

    B) Adams + C. Taylor + Bednarek -> Antonio + Lowton + Holding (-8)
    C) Adams + Bednarek -> Antonio + Holding (-4) (hope C. Taylor plays)

    • 7 Years

    Looks like I'm going without KDB.

    Not sure

    A) Keep Mane
    B) KDB for a hit

    Thougths? Will cap Salah if no KDB. If I get KDB I would have capped him

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B for me

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

        Would prefer KDB and Salah to Mane and Salah

  29. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) McCarthy > Areola -4
    B) McCarthy + Salah > Martinez + KDB -8

  30. cuppatea78
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is this worth doing?

    Salah, Dallas, Konsa > KDB, Coufal, Dias -8
