Who is the best FPL captain for Double Gameweek 26?

Considering the large number of fixtures in Double Gameweek 26, Fantasy Premier League managers have a wealth of choice for their latest captaincy decision.

But with so many players offering decent potential across their two matches, finding the right recipient for the armband could prove a challenge.

That’s where the Captain Sensible article comes in, using the statistical form of  the key candidates against the most recent defensive showings of their upcoming opponents.

As this uses extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

CAPTAIN POLL

Harry Kane (£11.1m) leads the Double Gameweek 26 Captain Poll with over 30.0% votes from our users. The Tottenham Hotspur striker faces two bottom-six sides in Burnley and Fulham but he has only scored once in his previous four Premier League appearances.

Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) comes second this week, with 15.5% of total votes, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are set to play Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

İlkay Gündoğan (£6.1m) occupies the third place in the poll. However, it will be interesting to see how the results change by Friday evening, as the German international played 90 minutes in Manchester City’s Champions League match midweek.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) sit in fourth and fifth, respectively, while Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) just misses out on this week’s top five.

          If you have both chips then agree bench boost this week - but you are then pretty much forced to go TC on City in 27 and they love to rotate so likely to get 120 minutes max

      I've prepared for BB so keeping TC for later, 90% it will be Kane in his next double.

    Bruno, Son, Salah, Gundo, (Soucek)
    Watkins, Kane, Bamford

    .2 ITB and 1 FT

    9/11 doubles this week. Want to land on a 3rd Villan by 29, probably will be Targett or Konsa, but Dallas and Coufal become handy later. Do I swap Mee for Targett now or just roll the dice (and the FT) with Mee and have more flexibility next week?

    Any other team comments? Thanks.

        Was swaying towards A as it’s just 1 more hit to have 10 players for GW29, could even go with 9 and pray for a good captain.

        Would you agree it’s better to make the hits now (DGW) to have better squad for this GW and going forward?

    I have a lot of bad fixtures for GW27. Triple United away to City, double Everton away to Chelsea & double Burnley defence home to Arsenal. Would it make more sense to capitalise on the DGW at the detriment of the medium term? (I'm Bench Boosting this week) - Or would it be better to use this DGW as an opportunity to fix my team for the medium term? e.g. Getting rid of Burnley defenders, instead of bringing in a couple of attackers? Or try to do both with a monster hit?

      Million dollar question. First time this seasons that I can't make up my mind. It's like TheDragon said, it depends on how long he's out for. I'm tempted to keep. Why?

      In my case it'd be:
      Raphina Villa or Barnes DGW - 4 ..but, getting Grealish back needs a FT. I might actually save this one and hope for the best.
