Who is the best FPL captain for Double Gameweek 26?

2,543 Comments

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.

    Thinking of doing a -8 and bench boosting. Current team is:

    Martinez
    Dias Stones Tarkowski
    Salah(c) Bruno Son Gundo Grealish
    Watkins Bamford

    McCarthy Ings Taylor Dallas

    Is Ings, Grealish & Tarkowski > Kane, Traore & Veltman worth the -8? It will also give me some extra players for GW29.

    That is an incredible decision. How can Lindelof be penalized for jumping higher than his man? He didn't lead with his studs or anything. He had his eyes on the ball and went for it...

        I had no doubt they’ll both play 180 but was thinking Bruno playing a full game or close to it would make my decision easier with Jane being rested. But yes I’m very aware just how easily Bruno can rack up the points. He was very unlucky not to get a goal and assist today.

    Status of Cavani?

    Keep?

    Or do
    1) Cavani+Son -> Kane and Barnes (-4)
    2) Cavani+Bamford -> Cavani+Vydra (-4)

    Didn't watch the match, was Bruno subbed due to an injury?

      Nope. Wasn't really necessary for him to start either. Took him off for a rest.

    In : Kane, Cancelo, Watkins
    Out : Ings, Bamford, Mee

    For -8

    Thanks in advance ... I’m leaning very heavily this way for longer term (FH in 29).

      Looks lovely. Cancelo may only get one, but could outscore many others

      Hmm, I wouldn't bother taking Bamford out for Watkins for a hit.

        Yes, this was the one piece I could leave ... but Watkins playing twice (2 nice fixtures), possible double 28, great fixtures for next 5 or so ... vs Bsmfird one game, then a few bad fixtures ... plus likely to price drop tonight losing me 100k in value .... will ponder the Watkins to bamford but the other two are go go go.

        Thanks all.

          Yep. I was considering the same before Monday night. I think Leeds will do well against Villa and its an obvious point to make but Watkins value has to be significantly lower without Grealish. I will probably get Watkins in when Grealish is back.

            Good point ... big gamble with no info on Jack currently.
