Harry Kane (£11.7m) and Son-Heung min (£9.4m) have emerged as the two outstanding candidates for the Double Gameweek 32 captaincy.

They are, of course, the only two premium Fantasy Premier League assets with two fixtures and strong chances of significant game-time across both.

The question for many is how to choose between them and, of course, are there any single Gameweek options we must make sure we do not overlook.

As always, the Captain Sensible article is here to help you with this week’s captaincy conundrum. As this includes extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

CAPTAIN POLL

Both Kane and Son have dominated this week’s Captain Poll, gathering an incredible 88.0% of total votes combined.

While their strong poll performance comes as no surprise, it is certainly interesting that Son has been backed by only 10.8% of voters, compared to 77.1% for his centre-forward counter-part.


Meanwhile, none of the remaining options have managed to gain 3.0% of votes. Jesse Lingard (£6.5m)came closest with a backing of 2.6%, followed by Richarlison (£7.9m)and Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m).

    Are Wilson/Welbeck any good or just a punt out of desperation?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      The latter 😛

      Wilson served me well. Thinking the same thing but have spare cash to do Laca for a punt

    Deciding which THREE defenders to START in GW32 will be tough…

    Cresswell* (new)
    Alonso (BHA)
    Dias (avl)
    Dallas (LIV)
    Digne (TOT)

    Currently playing 352 with:
    Cresswell*, Alonso, Dias and a bench of: Raphinha, Dallas, Digne.

    * Expect Cresswell to either start or record 0 minutes at all.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      As you have posted. Alonso, Dias and Cresswell

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        This

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Top 3 but be prepared for the other 2 to hurt you (smile)

    BB this week? 1FT

    Mendy
    Coufal TAA Regulion
    Son Bruno Salah Lingard Jota
    Kane (C) Iheanacho

    Martinez Dias Holding Vydra

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Dias a risk. Change to Reguilon and wait in anticipation

      1. borispkpk
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Already hv Reguilon

      2. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        My Bad! Look at Shaw/Sais/Leicester maybe?

        1. borispkpk
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Thank you ! So you prefer BB if I changed Dias ?

          1. Eze Really?
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Yes I would. I find BB a pain as it disrupts your balance more so than the gain you can make.

    GW20 72 21 Soucek benched 15 points

    GW31 75 0 Raphina 17 points Watkins 8 points Coufal 4 points
    What an exercise that was! Hurah for GW31 where all my bench counted. For the rest, has anyone had so many bench points? Looks like poor decisions but they were all logical or 50/50. Anyone else have the same tale of woe?

      I feel I definitely have a similar story, but I could not be so meticulous rn lol. The City lads have helped me out of late for better or worse. I'm on a slow offload

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I think frustration with last GW elation made me do it. (smile)

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      248 points benched so far for me 🙁

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          133 for me since GW20, with a BB zero in that

          1. Eze Really?
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Big coin toss. If you have seen my bench picks you would never listen to me.

  8. Lav
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Crazy to go no Son & save FT?

    Mendy
    Shaw Coady Rudi

      Same team bar Coady and Davis

      1. Weilong7
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        so who do you have in their places?
        worth a wildcard? thanks

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          I have Vydra and TAA. I think your team at present is as good long term.

          1. Weilong7
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            u mean the pre-WC team? fix for leeds and villa not good.. so fixtures play a part in the WC Team..

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Pre WC yes. -4 will cover just as well

            2. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              I did not see 3.8. My bad.

    2. Weilong7
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      perhaps might downgrade dias too.. azpi to rudiger in my thoughts too but thinking zouma might play in his place

  10. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    What do we think of Lacazette? Does he continue starting for Arsenal or get a break due to Europa?

    1. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      He's form is not benchable

      1. Bury94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I thought that, need a DCL replacement, thinking he might be the one

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      For me, if you are chasing, I cannot think of a better forward to get.

  11. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Any advice appreciated for this bb:

    Mendy, Forster
    Dias, Shaw, Rudiger, Holding, Phillips,
    Son, Lingard, Bruno, Jota, Salah,
    Kane, Iheancho, Davis

    0ft
    2.6 in the bank
    Was thinking Davis to attacker up to 6.8

    Heeeelp 🙂

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Very few rotation risks No IMO. Rather another Spurs or hold FT

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks mate

  12. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else still unable to see the forum thread or tweets etc because an ad just shows? Oh and best Neto replacement surely perriera can't keep it up? 5.8m itb

    Cheers

    1. Oggle22
      • 9 Years

      Pereira*

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Jota, Saka, Raphina (later) Perriera, Lingz all similar IMO

  13. Fantasynørden
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Bench one of these:

    1) Rüdiger (got Mendy in goal)

    2) Lingard

    3) Jota

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Rudiger

  14. TKC07
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Chances of DCL and Auba to be fit for next week (GW33)?

    Need to take hits for each transfer out.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Auba unlikely DCL probably

  15. S3
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Is raph out of the Liverpool game?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years

      Waiting until Monday to reassess

  16. SpaceCadet

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I am going Dallas. Newcastle forwards are back

      1. SpaceCadet

  17. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    1. Davis to attacker up to 6.8 (Fabio Silva, Wilson, Bamford, Welbeck)
    2. Forster to Loris
    3. Dias to Reuglion

    Any advice appreciated for this BB team !

    Mendy, Forster
    Dias, Shaw, Rudiger, Holding, Phillips,
    Son, Lingard, Bruno, Jota, Salah,
    Kane, Iheancho, Davis

    0ft

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      3 makes sense swapping a blanker for another with the other having a DGW.

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        But City must win this game and they can not win without the best team...

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      My advice same up top.

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks thanks again

  18. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you get in this gw?

    A. Coady
    B. Dier

    1. Hazardous1983
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      coady

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Call James and Suj. They will laugh you to sleep! (smile)

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        And who would they pick?

  19. Hazardous1983
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Rival is 18 points behind me and has mendy and coady as opposed to me who has areola and dawson.

    I have already taken a hit. He will close the gap wont he

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe but Coady and Dawson very little in it.

    2. Jebiga
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Captaining Son instead of Kane might work in your case

  20. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Dier DGW starts and minutes on pitch?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Second time I hear Dier. Fail to understand.

      1. Jebiga
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Was benched for a while, he will play both games imo

        1. HonestBlatter
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          That's good news

        2. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          You are paying a price for boredom. (smile)

  21. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Bench one plz ( Mendy is my GK)

    - Rudiger
    - Coady
    - Shaw
    - TAA

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Coady I think.

    2. De Gea is GOAT
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I honestly play all 4. But yeah Coady if i had to pick one

  22. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    I have answered every post on page 12 so far. Do I get a special prize? (smile)

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Not quite

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Accepted but a comment in the post at least.

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      False prize

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years

        I know. But I actually enjoyed it!

  23. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Gundo to Saka or play Bamford ?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I think Saka is a make or break choice for Mini Leagues. Gametime and he will be Bril IMO

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Will saka play on Sunday?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Who knows. Risk and reward.

    2. Doctor Zhivago
      • 9 Years

      Play Gundo this week

  24. steviebni
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Who to sell for Son?
    A. Gundogan
    B. Mahrez
    Already have Kane. Other midfielders are: Fernandes, Lingard and Jota.

    1. Doctor Zhivago
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Mahrez

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      A

  25. Doctor Zhivago
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Morning everyone!
    Who to choose between Areola and Martinez?
    Think both FUL and AVL are going to concede 2+ goals (ARS in fine form, esp. Lacazette; MCI needs to close the title race asap).
    Thanx for your help.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I like opinions on Arsenal. They are almost bipolar in terms of change. Arsenal were great last night. Against Pool?

      1. Doctor Zhivago
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yes Arsenal were great, againt a team not weaker than actual Fulham (...and I am a fan). But, as you say, they could even lose 0-3 if Fulham can give the performance of their lives. Honestly I don't trust Liverpool at all: watching them on tv gives me an idea of CHAOS, both defensively (Phillips, oh my Lord...) and offensively. Arsenal an Liverpool will shoot a lot anyway, so save points are coming for both the goalkeepers mentioned above... What do u suggest?

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Martinez has rarely failed so I would go with that option.

          1. Doctor Zhivago
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Ok, thank u!

    Thoughts?

    A. Bench Fofana - Play Rudiger
    B. Bench Rudiger - Play Fofana
    C. Sell Fofana for Coady and play Coady, benching Rudger.

    Is my starting 11 and bench order looking ok?

    Mendy
    Rudiger - TAA - Coady
    Bruno - Lingard - Salah - Maddison - Jota
    Kane (c) - Nacho

    Forster - Holding - Fofana - Wood

  28. craigbullen91

    Stuck on this one - What would you do?

    A. Bench Fofana - Play Rudiger - roll transfer
    B. Bench Rudiger - Play Fofana - roll transfer
    C. Sell Fofana for Coady and play Coady, benching Rudger.

    1. Eye Test Dave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Play fofana and roll the transfer or bring in a Spurs defender over coady and flip next week

  29. Eye Test Dave
