Captain Sensible

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.

    Who scores more...

    A) Vardy (-8)
    B) Raphina

    1. cheeky moses

      B

    2. Chazk
      • 3 Years

      Currently Raph on paper

    3. b91jh
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B if only for this week. Maybe A if it is for the future 3 weeks.

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

      Doubt Vardy starts both games in the double

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Easily starts both. Even at 34 one of the fittest players in the league.

    5. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    Which fulham defender would you go for and why?

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Feels like a job interview.

  5. Magic Zico

    Repost: Bruno or Kane higher EO this week?

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

      Bruno easily

  6. Zolaaaaaaaaa!!!
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Madison and Sterling to Salah and Barnes worth a minus 8??

    Whatever happens I think I will have to do the Madison swap as it looks like he is out at least for DGW

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling could bite you. I’d say no.

  7. Erdogan
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This might have been asked already but is the bench if: McCarthy, Dallas, Bamford and Raphinha worth bench boosting?

    Thanks and good luck all!

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

      If you’re confident Leeds beat Villa then go for it

      1. Erdogan
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yea, too many eggs in one basket but will have to go with it I guess. If Leeds do damage those bench points will hurt.

    2. Help Me!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have exact same bench, and I'm thinking to use BB in GW30. Very nice fixtures for GW29 players.
      (No other chip left)

      1. Erdogan
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Good point about GW 30. I had a look at all my player fixtures and BB could work well in that GW. Also no other chips left. Another point is I am leading few cash leagues for February. That BB now could help me secure the lead and potentially 350 EUR 🙂 Leaning towards playing it now

  8. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    From DGW 26 TO BGW 29
    A- Salah
    B- Vardy

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one

      Pass.

  9. b91jh
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which gives a better upside?

    A) White or Dallas to Digne
    B) Bamford to Kane
    C) B plus Dallas to Coleman (-4)
    D) B plus Dallas to Konsa (-4)

    Could get back any of them on bgw29.

    1. arkom

  10. arkom
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I'm on WC.

    A) Lloris (BUR h & FUL a)

    or?

    B) Martinez (LEE a & SHU a)

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mind said A
      Heart said B

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        But Martinez has 12 CS

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A if wanting to take a chance or B for safety in numbers. I’d go A and live a little

  11. Pukki Pies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Dallas to Regulion worth a hit?

    Current BB is Sánchez, Dallas, Raphinha, Bamford

    Is Regulion nailed? Other obvious concern would be a Dallas goal which would make it a bad move in hindsight. Just feeling having 3 Leeds as BB is too many eggs in one basket.

    1. arkom
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I also wonder same thing, that is Regulion going to play both games??

      1. Pukki Pies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He didn’t feature at all on Wednesday, which presumably is a good sign?

    2. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sound reasoning there. Both points are possible. Hence not taking the hit is kinda like gaining 4 points already.

      1. Pukki Pies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Got to expect Spurs to let one goal in over the 2 games, so unless Regulion is likely to get an attacking return I don’t think there’s much in it

        1. sminkypinky
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          They are both as likely to get attacking returns I guess. Reguilon does play twice though. Or does he? 😉

          1. Pukki Pies
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            That is the question.

    3. Help Me!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      How about keep the 3 Leeds, and BB in GW30?

      1. Pukki Pies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I did think about that but ruled it out on the basis that I’ve currently got a fully fit squad and can bench boost without taking any hits (currently). Between now and gw30 who knows what will have happened, could end up with a few injuries and then you’re struggling to get 15 playing. Also once BB is played you don’t need to keep such a strong bench.

  12. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one on FH

    A Son
    B Mount
    C Barnes

    Have Kane Vardy Reguilon and Pereira

    1. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mount. Just to be different from the previous page. 😉

      Nah. So much in those two teams already. Maybe you should punt on Mount. Differential for sure.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate. Thanks a lot for the input.

  13. DeeGee

    3 years, 1 month ago

    WC current draft:

    Martinez, Steer
    Creswell, Dias, Aina, Targett, Mitchell
    Salah, Son, Bruno, Gundo, Raphinha
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    0.8 itb.

    Torn between who to keep for GW 29 and who to bring on for GW 26.
    Need suggestions for transfers.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      On a WC with steer and Mitchell?

      1. sminkypinky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I guess strapped for cash and wants to invest it all on first 11.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          With 0.8 ITB, Sanchez and Burn would be decent picks with GW29 too

          1. sminkypinky
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Very true indeed.

            1. DeeGee
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Yes, presently short of cash. Do you think sacrificing Salah for KDB pays off for this GW and next?

  14. VICTORIOUS SECRET! !
    • 11 Years

    Thoughts on this ??

    Martinez (Johnstone)

    Dias cancelo rudiger Dallas coufal

    Son salah gundogan Bruno reed

    Vardy Antonio Bamford

    1.0 ITB. 2FT

    SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

  15. Nightrain_
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Aina -4 to replace Dallas a worthy move for BB ?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm, no IMO

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you’ll watch the Fulham game(s), yes. No if not 🙂

  16. GE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    On BB:

    A) Soucek -> Lookman (Max 6.7)
    B) Cavani+Son -> Kane+Barnes (-4)
    C) A+ B (-8)

    1. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B looks good, but I think just do Cavani to Watkins or DCL

  17. Chazk
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What you guys think TC Salah or Bruno?
    Although I do have DCL hot on their heels for contention too

    1. SharkyT
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea will be tight & Palace beat us last time. I’d go Salah

      1. Chazk
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What the DCL option then.
        Would you still choose Salah over DCL.
        Now with the extra pressure of Henderson out out for a long while makes me think they may struggle further

  18. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A- Start Raphinha and Bamford
    B- Bring Traore in for Raphinha
    C - Bring Watkins in for Antonio

  19. Stinglikeabee
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather

    A. Loris, Digne and Barnes
    Or
    B. Pickford, Konsa and Son

    The lack of gundo is scary with 2 DGW.
    Should i do
    a) -4 for rap+bam > Gundo+Maja
    b) -4 for rap+shaw > Gundo+El Mohamady
    c) just keep the FT and live without Gundo for another week
    d) maybe try a punt with Raph>Pereira(West Brom)

  23. RIDZ

    TC for who:
    DCL or Son ????

    1. Chrisirwin01

      DCL

  24. Chrisirwin01
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Currently, on a WC and trying to select 2 city attackers, however, possibly overthinking it.

    a) Gundo + Mahrez

    (my current choice as both players are on good form and have had full 90min rests)

    b) Sterling + Gundo

    (personally I think this is the strongest pair but my main concern is Sterling is due a rest soon imo)

    c) Kdb + Gundo

    (I think Kdb's minutes will be managed over this dgw)

    Any thoughts, is Mahrez being overlooked?

    1. Machine_Gunnerz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      c. Mahrez could be haul, but the least guaranteed mins among them

    2. Couch Potato
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C

  25. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A. Sterling, Ings
    B.Gundogan, Kane -4

  26. aaronmetcalfe
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah and Justin for Son and Digne
    Or
    Keep salah and swap Justin for El-Mohamedy?

    1. GreenEagle
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Son & Digne are pretty good options, but why give Salah away?

      1. aaronmetcalfe
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        The injury to Henderson has left me thinking their poor run of form could continue/worsen with teams able to double up on Salah and try and take him out of the game?

  27. Bobby's Teeth
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hi legends,

    On WC and would appreciate you ripping this team to shreds:

    Martinez
    Pereira Stones Digne
    Kdb Gundo Bruno Barnes
    DCL Kane Watkins

    Bench: Areola Raph Konsa N. Phillips

    1. GreenEagle
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i would not leave cancelo out of the wildcard and i wouldn't have both kdb and Gundo, also, never loose faith in Salah, liverpool play like crap but he keeps delivering. Other than that, i think this is a solid team. Also, Phillips is not a good option. You can find a better cheap def.if you remove him how much money do you have left?

      1. Bobby's Teeth
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate. Only worry with Cancelo is that he might not play this GW. Who would you have as your City mid cover? Being a Liverpool fan myself and having watched every single minute of our tumultuous season, maybe I am being a bit more pessimistic about Mo - will rethink there. Right now ITB is 0, so if I remove Nat, then I get 4M

        1. GreenEagle
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          it doesn't matter if cancelo plays 2 games or not. He is a must have for me with the current style of playing Pep has introduced. Dont build a team using the wildcard for only 1 gw. You should think ahead as well. i would say that kdb is the better differential for this gw bc i think he will play both games, and sterling and Gundo might not.

          1. Bobby's Teeth
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed. Looking at City's next five and they are all amazing. Would you say Cancelo over Pereira, he will be the one getting dropped most likely

  28. GreenEagle
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    SON & WATKINS
    OR
    KANE & TRAORE??

  29. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Konsa Stones Cancelo
    Salah Son Bruno Gunda Raphina
    Bamford Ings

    Steele Antonio Tarkowski Dallas

    Ings and Antonio to Kane and Brewster or

    Ings Antonio Tarkowski and Cancelo to Kane DCL and two fodder defenders

    Cheers

  30. Vjm6891
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    The only question I have is should I take Salah out for a 7.5-9.5 Midfielder and then upgrade a few players to BB? Or just l;eav him in and play just the 11 (with Rap, Bamford and the GK as the single gameweek players)

    1. Vjm6891
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Or I can swap Bamford and Ings for Kane and up to £7m striker for -4
