How the top 10k FPL managers set their teams up for Double Gameweek 32

Double Gameweek 32 has produced the most-backed Triple Captain of the campaign so far.

Harry Kane (£11.7m) comes into the round with the backing of 359,246 enhanced armbands, the highest accrued by any player in one Gameweek this season.

The Spurs player has actually broken his own record in that respect, having gone into Double Gameweek 26 shouldering 239,588 Triple Captaincies.

Those numbers made for a very one-sided captain’s affair among the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers.

95.5% of them captained Kane for Double Gameweek 32 while just 3.2% went for Son Heung-min (£9.5m).

Spurs’ Friday-night trip to Everton largely satisfied the masses in the end as Kane scored twice while Son registered his fourth blank from a possible six.

That said, Kane came off with an ankle problem in stoppage time at Goodison Park, putting his chances of starting against Southampton on Wednesday at risk.

Such was the Spurs dominance of the captaincy, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) finished third among the top 10k this week but managed a share of just 0.4% of their armbands.

Unsurprisingly, the Triple Captain was the most popular chip in Double Gameweek 32.

22.6% of the top 10k went for the enhanced armband this weekend, taking the overall usage of it at this level to 95.6%.

Meanwhile, the Wildcard continues to receive some attention, albeit small.

3.1% of the top 10k pulled the trigger on a new squad for Double Gameweek 32, meaning 8.7% of them plan to use the Wildcard in the final six Gameweeks of the season.

After this week’s chip usage, 67.7% of the top 10k have exhausted their supply for the 2020/21 campaign.

27.3% have used three of their chips while 4.6% have two left to use between now and Gameweek 38.

As a result of Kane’s heavy backing in the top 10k, his effective ownership at that level was the highest witnessed this season: 216.8%.

He was also the only asset with over 100% effective ownership with Son sitting in second place at 88.0%.

Of particular note is the fact that Jesse Lingard (£6.5m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.0m) are both in the top five now.

Gameweek 31

Double Gameweek 32

Son was a popular transfer target among the top 10k ahead of Double Gameweek 32.

As you can see from the two squads, his ownership at this level rose by 29.4 percentage points between the two most recent deadlines.

His two Double Gameweek 32 fixtures have helped him rise from the fifth-most-popular midfielder in the top 10k to the most fashionable.

Jesse Lingard (£6.5m) continues his journey to the top-end of top-10k action, now owned by 83.2% of such managers after his latest double-digit haul. 59.8% of them had him for the 14 points he scored against Leicester.

Iheanacho is another significant riser, his Gameweek 31 brace at West Ham helping him jump from 37.7% ownership at this level to 78.3%.

Meanwhile, Patrick Bamford (£6.5m) continues to cling onto a place inside the top-three most popular top 10k forwards.

His ownership in the upper echelons has dropped by 13.3 percentage points but 33.6% of the top 10k still retain faith in the Leeds man.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) has re-emerged in the template after his back-to-back double-figure hauls.

Already, he is the fourth-most-fashionable top-10k defender with ownership of 37.2% for Double Gameweek 32.

Meanwhile, an examination of the Wildcarders in the top 10k gives an indication of some of the potential differentials on offer at this level for the season’s closing stages.

Rob Holding (£4.2m) and Conor Coady (£4.9m) are both significant options for such managers despite not featuring in the top-five defenders in the wider pool of the top 10k.

Meanwhile, 28.6% of these Wildcarders went for Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m), who has four goals in his last four Premier League matches.

    Morning dzz, best moves here with 2FTs and 0m. Cant see too many routes

    Mendy --- Forster
    Rudiger Shaw Veltman TAA Holding
    Salah Bruno Lingard Jota -- Son
    Nacho -- Kane Davis

    A: Son >> Maddison/Greenwood and bench holding
    B: Something else

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A looks fine as at now

      Things may turn around if we get a DGW announcement before the deadline and who knows about Kane.

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        yeah def worth waiting till end of week to make any moves.

  3. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I'm clearly going to be fighting a lone battle on this one but here goes:

    Palace have a notably worse away record than Newcastle
    Liverpool have an extremely poor home record and Leicester a very good one
    The form player for goals is Iheanacho

    Waiting on events this week but just don't see Salah as an inevitable captain at all. I'm not even sure he's the logical captain choice.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I was thinking of going Nacho or even Maddison.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I'm going to see fascinated how Maddison shapes up.

        33 34 35 is very nearly ideal.

        Would you be losing Greenwood for him next time? You did get Greenwood no?

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Got Greenwood in for Gundogan - would sell Son for Maddison probably

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bruno Fernandes away at Leeds 😉

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        You make me fee sane 🙂

        Vaguely cross with myself for not taking the hit to punt on Greenwood this time to allow myself both him and Maddison next time. Got put off by fixtures as much as anything.

        Can't make up my mind about Leeds defence. Their stats and record - especially at home - put them comfortably mid table or better on form - level with Liverpool sort of thing.

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Salah over Nacho for me. But i might just be tempted by Cavani.

  4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Getting Christensen on WC has been a disaster, back to back games injured ugh

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Get rid of Mr. 59 asap

  5. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can’t deny I’m disappointed Kane (TC) probably won’t play the second game, but 36 points for a TC is considerably better than anything I’ve achieved with this chip for about five years (previous fails include Sane, Aguero, Mahrez last year...), so I’ll take it. Get well soon Harry!

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      And better than all other popular TC options so far this season!

      Well played!

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I played my WC this week so couldn't use it. But if i could i would have as well. Obvious pick. 12 points is decent. Anything above 15 is great.

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      12 points is a great result.

      My last 3 TC's : Sane, Mane and Donkey Calvert Lewin

  6. Don F
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC:

    Smeichel, steele

    TAA, rusiger, dallas, semedo, phillips

    Salah, Fernández, maddison, lingard, pereira

    Iheanacho, cavani, lacazzette

    0 in the bank. With the abovd

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Benching headache, otherwise looks good. You have BB?

    2. fc_skrald
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I dont like 3 players from Leicester but go for it if you think they will do well.

      1. Don F
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Any other goalkeeper at 5.4 or less? Patricio?

  7. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I think the obvious transfer here is Cancelo to TAA. But I have to admit that I'm starting to be a little annoyed with Digne in my team. Should I depart Digne instead and play Lowton?

    Martínez
    Cancelo, Digne, Shaw
    Salah, Fernandes, Lingard, Mount, Pereira
    Iheanacho, Bamford

    McGill, Kane, Lowton, Struijk
    1 free transfer, 1.9 million in the bank

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lowton is very playable next week.

      But looking at Everton fixtures between 34 and 37 they are essentially top of the ticker (I exclude Spurs 🙂 )and that's not including the DGW to come. If you've held this far it feels the wrong time to lose Digne.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Everton fixtures with a double and no blank are too good to ignore. If Kane is out then DCL (if fit) is a great pick along with one of their defenders.

        1. Salan
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Everton is simply not good. Irrelevant to fixtures.

          1. Weeb Kakashi
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            They are inconsistent for sure. But the double is tempting isnt it? Two home fixtures after the double too.

      2. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks, I think you are right. I will keep Digne and hope for the best 🙂

  8. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Was watching Brighton's highlights of last 3-4 games. (Desperate times 😉 )

    I like the way Moder was playing and position he was taking, will hopefully be a defender next year.

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He did have couple of good chances in the last game. Much better player than Burn.

  9. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    haven't been following lately.

    What are you guys doing to Son and/or Kane the next gw? I suppose Son to another Chelsea mid is the go-to move ?

    1. RamboRN
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      For me probably mount or maddison

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Son stays. If Kane looks like missing 34(SHU) then he makes way for DCL/Vardy

  10. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Whats all this I hear about Kane captainers and red arrows? I have Kane (C), Son and no Everton but have a nice 6k green arrow!

    1. RamboRN
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Whats your OR?

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        266k

    2. Jebiga
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      LoL, for me big red, I'm on 450k

      1. TKC07
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        It all depends on how many hits you've taken too..

  11. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Never been at OR 1,862 before. A top 1k finish would be awesome.

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Well done mate.

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Fantastic work

      You haven't put a foot wrong recently really. Lloris could turn nicely if he gets you a couple of cs v Southampton and SHU.

    Kane to :

    1. Vardy
    2. Lacazete

    1. Botman and Robben

      Me

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Wait for further news. If he is back for 34 then it might be better to stick.

      Out of those fancy Vardy. Consider DCL too.

  13. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    OR increased by 7k after a captaincy haul of 24 points. Ok then.

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Dropped 9k with the same haul, but I did take a -4..

      Downward slump has pushed me out of 100k!

  14. Captain Hindsight
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    As it stands Kane is looking the better (c) choice over Son

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      All it needs is a Son goal vs Saints to match Kane.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      No sh*t Sherlock

  15. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    It's early, but do I look GTG?

    Sanchez (Lloris)
    TAA Digne Dunk Targett (Dallas)
    Salah(C) Jota Lingard ESR (Son)
    Vardy Nacho (Kane)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Yep

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

        Cheers mate

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years

      That is early mate!! Haha

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I'm bored X)

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Could be very nice indeed

      Double Brighton defence looks especially cool - not many save points for Sanchez perhaps 🙂

      One or two variables of course in there but that defence could be golden in the run in.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        No save points for Sanchez but 6pts pretty much guaranteed 😉

        Cheers Pingi!

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years

      If DGW35 happens and is a big one then WC34 and BB35 looks obvious.

  17. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Interring rank drop after a Captain brace haha. Is that the highest EO ever?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA

      It's up there in record territory for sure...

      Imagine NOT captaining Kane...

      (That so could have been me) 😆

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Salah or Bruno could easy outscore 12

          You spelled Jota wrong mate...

    3. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Its grim yea, id not be so worried had Harry actually done a little bit better in 26, and it would have evened out, but those who waited got their points!

      Wonder if he will be risked in the next pl game.

  18. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Shipping Stones for next GW...have up to 5.2 to replace. Would you target:

    Arsenal (most likely Gabriel)
    Villa (most likely Cash - double coming at some point)
    Wolves (most likely Semedo)

    Chasing so want a bit of a differential, hence not Targett, Coady etc

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Semedo

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Semedo or Cash

  19. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Those with FH left, when you planning to use it?

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      36 or 37

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      maybe in some DGW or BGW or final week

  20. fc_skrald

    I have a feeling I have to change my style playing this game. Had a bad experience some years ago in a gameweek involving some hits and now I haven't taken a hit for more than two seasons 🙂

    1. Athletico Underachieving
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tbh I was taking them way too often earlier this season and it hit my rank badly as they repeatedly failed. Something to be said for only hitting if absolutely necessary!

      1. Monklane
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        On the other hand....
        I took a hit last week for Nacho and TAA.
        Swings n' roundabouts.

        1. Athletico Underachieving
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Nicely done. Last one I did was Barnes for the DGW where got injured. No more for me this year!

  21. The 12th Man

    Can’t believe I’m actually considering Siggy in.

    1. Holmes

      Consequences of being an Everton fan 😉

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        That’s true. Although it’s less pain not having them when they disapoint.

    2. G-Whizz

      • 6 Years

      Yeah, I've just woken up from that dream too.

      Looks like my Gundo replacement will have to wait a little longer...
