Who are the best FPL captain options for Double Gameweek 25?

Bruno Fernandes (£11.7m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) have emerged as the two outstanding candidates for the Double Gameweek 25 captaincy, with Manchester United preparing to take on Southampton and Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford.

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.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Double Gameweek 25 captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 GMT deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

Bruno Fernandes is the leader of the captain poll in Double Gameweek 25, with 39.88% of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Meanwhile, team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo is in second place, backed by 20.7%. The forward got his rest against Burnley in Gameweek 24, though further minute management can’t be completely ruled out, which we’ll discuss below.

Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) occupies third place with 12.09%, followed by Kevin De Bruyne (£12.2m) and David de Gea (£5.3m), with 7.79% and 7.33% respectively.

    De Bruyne, Bruno (C) , Jota, Bowen
    Antonio, Maupay

    Only worthwhile sub is Ramsay

      The Ev & Lampard is a double negative, that doesn't make a positive for defenders imo.

      I would say Dalot purely based on price although Shaw probably more likely to get an assist. Telles could play against Brighton whereas Dalot I would say more likely to play both of the two games.

    Watkins is one I'd love to ditch wiv a passion after yet another blank against leeds but I feel a -8 and no upcoming double for broja would be a stretch too far.

    Head in a bit of a spin now. Was all set on KDB to Fernandez and captain and Foden to Salah for a minus 4. Now not sure if KDB or Foden may play. I could just do Foden to Fernandez and keep KDB and no hit. Thoughts?
