Who are the best FPL captain options for Double Gameweek 36?

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are advised to target assets who play twice in Double Gameweek 36 when looking for their next captain.

Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) have emerged as the two outstanding candidates, but are there any outsiders who are perhaps being overlooked?

First, we will assess the fallout of the captain poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 13:30 BST deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

As expected, Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne are leading the captaincy poll ahead of Double Gameweek 36.

So far, Liverpool’s Salah has been handed 50.17% of total votes by our users. Second-place De Bruyne, meanwhile, has received 18.56% of votes ahead of his double-header against Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The top four is closed by two familiar names: Son Heung-min (£11.0m) and Reece James (£6.4m), with 6.03% and 3.19% respectively.

    So Ramsey a big doubt. Bloody hell - practically all my BB players got injured since I WC'd them in a few weeks back.

    Gordon the easy move of course - problem is rules out another transfer I was looking at that in involved Gordon, but keeping Ramsey 😆

    Thank god I have 2 FTs.

    This is a risky -4 that could pay dividends:

      I would be tempted to redo keepers entirely as part of a minus 8 with Havertz as cash cow - Kulu Schmeichel Pickford plus cheap defender in, Matip or Alonso if that computes

    Current team is:

    Option 2:
