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.

      I’d probably do 1 and 2 but depends who your other keeper is

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

      Are you using BB?

    3. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1 and 3 yes 2 depends on your other keeper or if part of a benchboost

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

      Yep doing bench boost

  2. My neck my back my Saed Kol…

    Coufal or Justin?

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

      Coufal

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

      Coufal easily

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

    Is there any news on Charlie Taylor?

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

      Dyche said it'll be tough for him to make the first game. If he plays one it'll end up being Pool

    2. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Still a doubt but likely to play at least 1 of the games.

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

    Who to ship out between:

    A) Bednarek (only 1 game VS LEI)
    B) C. Taylor (might miss both games)

    Cheers!

    Do we have any idea what Villa players will play?

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

      They've said nothing about who tested positive.

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

        Trezeguet has

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

    Would you bench DCL and start Rodrigo or move Taylor to Stones in a back 4?
    Currently have the funds for Son to Kdb but would need to move DCL if doing Taylor to Stones to fund Kdb

  7. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Start one.

    1) Holding
    2) Bamford
    3) Dallas

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

      2

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

      Bamford easily

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Great. Arsenal have been keeping some cleansheets lately though 🙂

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

      Bum

  8. Redranger
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who scores more points this GW?
    A) Stones
    B) Coufal

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

      Thats a tough one. Stones is the safer pick, but Coufal can get some attacking returns.

      I'd say Coufal has the higher potential.

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

      A

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

    Who'd you start:

    A) Martinez (mci, NEW)
    B) Johnstone (wol, whu)

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

      A

  10. Dybala10
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is there any news on who has COVID at Villa or at least who is fit?

    I have Martinez and Grealish and conscious whether to BB or not...

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

      Saw a post on twitter showing Grealish on a treadmill. Think it was from his Instagram story. Make of that what you will... 🙂

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

      I think by the time the game comes round, hopefully most will be able to play. Its still 5 days away.

      If it makes you feel any better, I've both those players and I'm bench boosting.

  11. FPL Doctor
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you BB this team for a -8
    Means Son, Adams and Steer out.
    Will have 13 DGWers.

    Martinez
    Coufal Justin Dias
    KDB Salah Foden Soucek Bruno
    Antonio Bamford

    Mendy Dallas Wood R James

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

    A) play Tierney
    B) tierney --> James (-4)
    C) Tierney --> justin (-4)

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

      I'm thinking Tierney to Cresswell for - 4 lol. What about that one?

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

        Planning on getting Antonio so would have 3 west ham already (soucek and coufal)

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

      Stones, Cancelo or Dias are the best.

      If you can't get them due to budget/already have, I'd go James probably.

  13. MrCloppity
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Jesus or Kane this gameweek?

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

      Kane

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

      I think jesus slightly edges it

  14. Pitch Invasion
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Neto likely to play? Considering this as my only transfer this week

    Neto > Soucek

  15. Gymer11
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who’s gonna get the most minutes out of city defence ?

    Dias
    Stones
    Cancelo

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias

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

      Dias

  16. arndff_
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Soucek or Antonio???

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek.

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

      Soucek

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek probably safer.

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

      Soucek

    5. toerag
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      lol just got antonio. gone triple wham

    6. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on your team... for me antonio likely to score more

  17. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Currently have no City defence and sick of TAA.

    TAA to Dias?

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      After this week.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Probably the wise move, cheers.

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

      I'm personally banking on TAA having a good week as one of my differentials but I also own Dias so it's a bit easier for me to hold.

  18. nadman89
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    mccarthy + targett -> stones + johnstone -4. can do it exactly

    1. dunas_dog

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

      I think a chip should be used this week. So TC. Do you also own KDB?

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

        Yes

        It's between KDB and Salah for sure.

        Also got Vardy and Bruno but not even contemplating them.

    3. JelliedSpark968
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C. Form is throwing me off TC

  23. djaddy
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would appreciate opinions here please:

    A) Bellerin to Creswell/Chilwell
    B) Bellerin/Kane to Creswell/Vardy -4
    C) Bellerin/Kane/Son to Pieters/Vardy/Salah -8
    D) Bellerin/Kane/Gundo to Mitchell(SGW)/Antonio/Salah -8

  24. Werner Bremen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane and Bissouma to
    KDB and Brewster for -8?

    1. toerag
      • 13 Years

      yes

  25. toerag
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A. kane (1 game)

    thoughts...?

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Justin for me.

    2. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years

      B

  26. Sarri-ball
    • 14 Years

    Triple westham defence madness thinking about freehit

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

      Not at all madness

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

      Could be a great idea, especially if you have Coufal and Cresswell for attacking returns.

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

      Double is enough imo

    4. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek a must on FH I think

  27. JelliedSpark968
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Concerned about not having KdB, but would have to get rid of Salah or Bruno so doesn't look like it's gonna happen

    1. TMF86
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Im debating Kane out to fund it. Already got Son. Insane?

      1. JelliedSpark968
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not insane at all, given you'd be bringing in Salah

  28. TMF86
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on thisWC

    Martinez/Fodder
    Chilwell/Coufal/Cancelo/Holding/Mitchell
    KDB/Son/Salah/Fernanded/Soucek

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

    1) Adams to Antonio
    2) Taylor + Adams > Cancelo + Brewster -4

    Johnstone (Mc. Carthy)
    Dias, Stones, Robertson, Coufal (Lowton)
    Salah, Fernandes, Soucek, Foden (Raphinha)
    Kane, Bamford (Adams)

    Thank you!
