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.

BRUNO FERNANDES / CRISTIANO RONALDO

    Am i the only one who hates the budget constraints on the weekly Scout Picks?

    Obviously we don't just want to aee picks of Kane/Salah/KDB/Bruno/Ronaldo every week.

    But I just want to know who the best players are in each price bracket. I don't really care about an arbitrary imaginary budget that leads to weird stuff like FFS recommending Walker over Cancelo.

    I just spent some time checking if something happened to Cancelo, before realizing it was probably a budget thing.

      I guess there are already two big money defenders with a liv double up. Idk, i just wouldn't ever consider Walker.

      To me the Scout Picks are more about recommending sensible options rather than just assuming readers can waste transfers on speculative players because of an arbitrary internal scout picks budget rule.

      It's not a question of who you'd like to see it's a matter of who is best for that week. Hence game of the week.
