Captain Sensible

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.

    Mykolenko or Mina? Both are 4.9.
    I prefer the Colombian because of the problems at set-pieces that Leicester and Watford have but I'm not sure he will play both games.

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Myko..what about Coleman?

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Mina, presuming he plays 2 games. Doubt Myko gets any returns from open play and Mina more likely to get bonus points if it’s 1-0 or something (I’m guessing)

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Mina.

    On BB for this week. How does the following look:

    Son, Havertz, Cucho, Amartey > KDB, Gordon, Nketiah, Alonso (-8)

    Rambo, Foster
    James, Robbo, TAA, Cancelo, Amartey*
    Salah, Son, Mount, Havertz, Maddison
    Mateta, Pukki, Cucho*

    1. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Don't like son out for -4, could backfire. Maybe just do Cucho amartey havertz out

  3. OneArseneWenger32
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Any options for this 2FT. FH available .1itb
    Tight ML with others having FH and bb available
    Pope
    Cancelo trent robbo royal
    Son saka salah
    Kane Weghorst mateta

    Steele mendy amartey brunoG

  4. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    FH in 37 so I have 1 FT to spare. 0,1 m in bank.

    Foster
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Alonso
    Salah Coutinho Mount Saka Kulu
    Kane

    Any ideas what to do with this, with gw´s 36 and 38 in mind? Was keen on Mount to Foden but fplstatistics had Foden on 87% last night but somehow he did rise last night, so I got priced out.

    Thanks.

    Toney + Werner to Richarlison + Watkins for free

    Too sideways?

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Good upside make the trade

  6. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Ramsdale + Maddison ➡ Pickford + Mahrez (-4) ??

    1. Arfaish
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Seems sideways with mahrez not even guaranteed to start both and Maddison now back.

    2. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nope

    3. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I like it

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No.

  7. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A. Laporte, have Gordon as a sub
    B. 4.0 fodder, buy and play Saka

    That is, who scores more, Laporte or Saka?

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If chasing go saka..protecting lead play safe with Laporte

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years

        Cheers!

      2. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Agree with this, but wouldn’t be surprised if Laporte gets a rest one of the two games

  8. grennans2
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A or B? (2FT, planning to FH37)

    A) Mount & Kane > Salah & Nketiah
    B) Robertson, Mount & Kane > Matip, Salah & Jesus (-4)

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Committed to selling Kane?

  9. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who would you prefer for this week and GW38? FH next week*
    A) Holgate (lei, wat. ars)
    B) Sessegnon (liv, ARS. nor)
    C) Clyne (WAT. mun)
    D) Tavares (LEE, spurs. EVE)

    4. Thomas Magnum

      Thanks all, forgot to mention I have Ramsdale if that changes anything…

    5. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      D i think

  10. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Ramsey... BB is a cursed chip.

    1FT - 0.3m ITB - BB36

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Laporte
    Salah Saka Raphinha Kulu
    Kane Nketiah

    Foster - Pukki Ramsey* Doherty*

    Ramsey + Doherty > Gordon + Digne (-4)?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’d do it as you’re on BB, do you think Digne is likely to play both games? Only alternative maybe is KDH instead of Gordon giving you .2 extra for the defender if you’re priced out of someone you liked?

      1. Il Capitano
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Could go Mings for safety or an Everton defender, Ramsey > KDH leaves me 0.1 short on Cash unfortunately

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I don’t mind Mings honestly. Digne would be an awesome differential if he’ll start both but it’s a risk of course. Would probably take Mings over and Everton defender myself

          1. Il Capitano
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Yep, fair. Digne's miraculous return from a supposed season ending injury is a bit fishy. Maybe Young comes in for the Leeds game? I'll do some forum trawling later

            1. Il Capitano
              • 3 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              *Burnley game rather

  11. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    That late Cancelo no handball VAR decision at Goodison in February could end up denying Pool the title and sending Everton down.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Liverpool and Everton fans will be rioting side by side

    2. Capt Hadley Blanc
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 10 months ago

      This is totally Unrelated though.
      But it was Rodri and not Cancelo

    3. jackothedon
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Swings in roundabouts.

      Liverpool got a dodgy VAR call in the Carabao cup final and many more over the course of the season - including numerous red cards for Mane

  12. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    On BB36 and then FH37 so Ramsey (-4) to:

    1. Gordon (lei, wat, ars)
    2. KDH (EVE, NOR, SOU)

    Assume either will be benched in 38 anyway.

    Other option is -8 with James and get someone a bit more expensive.

    Schmeichel Foster
    Cancelo TAA Rudi James White
    Salah Saka Mount Raph ***
    Kane Mateta Nketiah

  13. FPL Mentor
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    The lineup

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Alonso
    KDB(C) Mahrez Mount Barnes Coutinho
    Richarlison Watkins

    Sa / Cash / Amartey / Weghorst

    Good to go?

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No salah! How’s your ranking?

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Pickford or Schmeichel (will FH37)?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Pickford

    2. Adderz
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Schmeichel. Everton's away record this season is shocking

    3. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Schmeichel 36, Pickford 37. So Schmeichel here

    4. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Schmeichel this week, Pickford next

    5. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes Schmeichel if FH

  15. JY84
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Currently still hv a FH n BB to play... My bench currently has only Foster as a DGW n so many injured players like Kilman n White with 0.1m n 1 FT remaining.. If thats e case, is it stupid for me to play only my BB on week 38 since there r not many budget DGW defenders whom i can transfer in tis week to boost my bench! Was thinking of waiting for W38 where White will prob recover n I can transfer in a Spurs defender for Kilman.....

  16. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Worth -8

    Out: mount, Ramsey, Gundo, Weggy

    In: Saka, mahrez, nketiah, Gordon

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Easy yes

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Think so, not sure on Mount out though, you could save a -4 and play Mount

      1. OneArseneWenger32
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Only cause of the mahrez punt 🙂

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      BB or not? For BB yeah if not then not too sure. I would just prioritise Saka in and getting rid of Weg ...

  17. Magic Zico

    Bench one please?
    A. Kulusevski

    TAA, Cancelo, Alonso, James (White)
    Salah (C), KDB (VC), Maddison, Saka (Kulu)

    2. TopBinFC

      1. artvandelay316
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers. Could have Schmeichel instead of Ederson and "upgrade" James to either Robertson or Laporte?

  19. RealSocialDads
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Quick straw poll, for GW36 and GW38 only:

    A. Mount
    B. Saka

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Saka

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Saka.

      But I do like Mount and intend to keep him.

    4. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    5. artvandelay316

      B

  20. TopBinFC
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Playing a WC is more of a headache than anything;

    1. KDB & Odegaard
    2. Foden & Saka

    I feel KDB is more nailed to play both games than Foden?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd go Mahrez + Saka.

      1. TopBinFC
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Nice, is Mahrez nailed though? I feel KDB is def nailed as long as pep says he isnt injured?

    2. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kdb injury is concerning..May play 60min in both and can he deliver?

      1. TopBinFC
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Injury? Source please...

        1. OneArseneWenger32
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          He’s playing with painkillers these days

          1. TopBinFC
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Oh really, didn't know that.

          2. artvandelay316
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Even if this is the case, his recent point scores have impressed. Well worth getting him in this week unless he is actually injured beyond requiring painkillers.

  21. Pegboy

    1 year, 10 months ago

    BB this week and FH in 37.

    2FT £0.2m I've got plenty of doublers, but all the wrong ones! No Man City or Arsenal. Strikers are a car crash. Not massively keen on losing Mount, but looks like the only way to raise funds for defence.

    Sa Foster
    TAA James Fofana Coady Doherty
    Salah(c) Son Mount Maddison Jota
    Pukki Weghorst Broja

    I'm almost certainly doing Broja > Nketiah, so transfers below are on top.

    a) Doherty + Mount > Cancelo + Gordon (-4)
    b) Doherty + Mount > Alonso/Gabriel + Saka (-4)
    c) Doherty + Coady + Mount > Laporte + Tavares + Saka (-8)

    I'm probably doing Sa (che, MCY, liv) > Schemichel (EVE NOR SOU) for a (-4) but easier to count that separately.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      C might as well go all in, depending on your rank.

      If not A

  22. Mweene
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Long-term planning for this GW36 BB has been an utter disaster. Reguilon, Doherty, Tierney, White and now Ramsey injuries. Absolutely pointless.

    1. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Doherty, Cucho and Ramsey here, annoying having to spend the precious few FTs on bench fodder

      1. Mweene
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I sold Reguilon and Tierney for Doherty and White and they both get injured as well. Couldn't make it up. Considering not playing the chip now as it would cost a -12.

    2. JY84
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Same as me.... Got three injuries n only Foster as my DGW! I think use it maybe on week 37 or 38 instead! Plus e likes of White only has a minor injury n will def return b4 e season end! Not worth it to minus points or waste our FT on those bench fodder in my opinion

      Tough. B probably, as he might not start both games.

    A) Sa to Ederson for free and play Ramsey
    B) Sa to Ederson + Weghorst to Richarlison for -4
    C) Sa to Schmeichel + Broja to Richarlison for -4 (not ideal for BB gw38)

    Basically boils down to whether Richarlison can outscore Ramsey with more than 4 points and how much better it is to have Ederson over Schmeichel
