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.

    From the below what combo's score more points, and who?

    Havertz > Gordon
    Broja > Richarlison or Jesus

    Havertz > Foden or Mahrez
    Pukki > Nketiah

    Thanks!

    If you were free hitting 37, would you want Nketiah and Bernardo Silva or Richarlison and Gordon this week?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 16 mins ago

      I wouldn't want Bernardo Silva period. Would pick Gordon outright over him.

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Was only because I only have double City defence and no attack. He’s the only one I could afford. Think I do prefer the other option though. Cheers.

          To be frank, I think you've gone wrong somewhere if you cant afford any City mid on FH

    Keep Mount or Maddison? I'm expecting both will be benched in at least one game in 36.

    I'm FH in 37, so fixtures are:

    Mount (WOL lee WAT)
    Maddison (EVE NOR SOU)

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 15 mins ago

      Who to get instead one of them ?

      1. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 mins ago

        I'm playing a BB and need to downgrade one of them to upgrade GK and defence. FH in 37.

        Sa + Doherty + Mount/Maddison + Broja > Ederson + Laporte + Gordon + Nketiah (-8)

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

        1. Pegboy
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 9 mins ago

          Other option is cheaper GK and defence.

          Schmeichel + 4.9m def + Mount + Maddison
          Ederson + Laporte + Mount/Maddison + Gordon

          1. Pegboy
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 8 mins ago

            Benefit of option A is it's only -4 not -8, but I don't trust Leicester or Everton (as 4.9 probably is Coleman/Mina) to get many clean sheets over the three games

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 15 mins ago

      I’d keep Mount

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 mins ago

      I think Maddison is a decent option again.

  4. Grande Tubarão
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 15 mins ago

    Thanks for all the help this week so far guys. What do you prefer here please (FH36 - in A/B KDB likely becomes Son in 38)

    A) Kulu, KDB, Richarlison (-4)
    B) Mount, KDB, Nketiah (-4)
    C) Kulu, Mount, Kane

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 mins ago

      If its a FH36, is that a future minus 4?

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 mins ago

        Oh sorry I meant FH37

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years ago

          B but i prefer Kulusevski to Mount.

          1. Grande Tubarão
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 2 Years

    2. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 mins ago

      If you are doing a FH in 36 then why the -4? If this is for 37 then I wouldn't bother with KDB as this is the week you want him, with the double.

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 mins ago

        Sorry mate, I should have put Fh37

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I have C at the moment.

      And likely gonna do Kane + Kulu > Richarlison + Mahrez -4

      I think I'm willing to risk Mahrez for the upside. I have money ITB for Mahrez > Son in GW38.

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Thanks Camzy, I could do that too actually! Will mull that one over!

    Who to bench:
    A. Kulu
    B. Coutinho

    1. balint84
      • 8 Years

      I would rather sell them then bench.

  7. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 14 mins ago

    Which option (FH in 37)

    A. Coutinho to Foden for -4
    B. Broja to fodder, to fund Coutinho to Foden in 38 (keep Coutinho for 36)

    Thanks.

    1. TopBinFC
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 11 mins ago

      Keep Coutinho, at least he will play 4 games over next 2 GWs, Foden may only play one or 2

      1. TeddiPonza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 mins ago

        FH in 37 so irrelevant

        1. TopBinFC
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 mins ago

          I'd still rather Coutinho this GW, at least he will get 4 points, lol

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        How do you know that?

        Or are you speculating?

        1. TopBinFC
          • 2 Years
          2 years ago

          Just my opinion, not saying he is injured but trying to give my honest opinion!

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 min ago

      i don't think Coutinho will play 4 games in 2 weeks

  8. Bullet Eder

    What is going on with Richarlison? Is he fine to play in both matches?

      yes

  9. RealSocialDads

    Maddison or Havertz?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

  13. footballfreak
    • 4 Years

    On bench boost whats best option? Am leaning to B coz watford wont keep clean sheet and gw 37 looking sweet for pickford

    A. Martinelli and Pope to Gordon and Alisson
    B. Martinelli Pope and Foster to Gordon Schmeichel and Pickford for -4

    1. TopBinFC
      • 2 Years
      2 years ago

      Lose Martinelli, def wont play both, a cameo in one for sure.

  14. grennans2
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 mins ago

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

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

    1. footballfreak
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 mins ago

      B

  15. Casualspotted
    • 2 Years

    I just hope that Salah wont destroy my rank in ML.

  16. niaz1982
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 mins ago

    What should i do with this planning on BB got £0.4 ITB

    Schmeichel*
    Alonso* Cancelo* TAA*
    Mount* Maddison* Kulu* Sterling*
    King Kane* Broja

    Dubravka*, Cash*, Matip*, Coutinho*

    1. Millie7
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 mins ago

      Not a whole lot, Dubravka? Broja?

      1. niaz1982
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Could do Dubrvka to Pickford and leave Broja, exactly all my money

  17. TopBinFC

    Could everyone stop posting ridiculous speculation on injuries to certain key players for GW36 unless you actually have a link to the source, or the manager mentions in presser.
    Very annoying for everyone on here.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 mins ago

      Lol.

      It's a discussion site but don't discuss something that might interfere with your preferences!?

      1. TopBinFC
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 min ago

        Always open to valid discussions, like trying to predict who may be rested etc. But saying players are injured without source is just annoying. Or Richarlison could be banned was another one I seen on here with no source, he actually got a fine but some still think he will be suspended!!!

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          A player has a slight injury, rested, maybe playing with painkillers and subbed in a European Champions League semi final in the Bernabau.

          I think the eye test may say injury concerns.

      2. Millie7

    Would you rather have Maddison or Matip for GW 36 and GW 38? I will FH in GW 37

    1. TopBinFC
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 mins ago

      Matip

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 mins ago

      Maddison probably. I fancy Spurs to score this weekend, and with Leicester out of Europe they can start fielding their first team again.

      1. Casualspotted
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 4 mins ago

        Yeah. Thats what i think imo

  19. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 mins ago

    Which transfer would you prioritise?

    A. Sanchez > Pickford
    B. A.Young > Mina

    Would like to do both but don't have the funds and would mean -4 or -8.
    Pickford has more upside due to saves potential, but Young unlikely to start even one game now Digne is back?

    I will play BB this week, team looks like this:

    Schmeichel
    TAA - Robertson - Laporte
    Son - Mount - Saka - Coutinho
    Kane - Dennis - Nketiah

    b: Foster, Digne, Alonso, Martinelli

    The question is, who to captain?
    I'm leaning towards Mount, but Son and Saka also look good.

    1. Millie7
      • 10 Years

      jealous

      1. DIMITRIS

        2 years ago

        Haha, I saved this chip hoping to have 15 playing options at some point this season and then the opportunity arrived at GW 36. Now the question is who to captain...

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 mins ago

      I'm on Son

    3. Casualspotted

      Mount wont start both games

      1. DIMITRIS
        • 5 Years
        2 years ago

        I fear the same, might switch to Saka or Son. Cheers!

    4. TopBinFC
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 mins ago

      No Liverpool or City attacker, very brave.
      Mount will most likely play one game with cup final upcoming. Saka probably best bet, Son has a tough double.

      1. DIMITRIS
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        I survived this far without them on the back of Son and Kane.
        Now it might hurt me but I hope that Son or Saka can deliver...
        Thanks for the info about Mount, I completely forgot about cup final...

    5. AC/DC AFC

    Schmeichel
    TAA Cancelo James Silva
    Salah Son Kulusevski Saka Havertz
    Broja

    Ramsdale Gelhardt Wood Doherty

    A) Wood & Ramsdale > Richarlison & 3.9m keeper (won't really need 2 keepers anymore)
    B) Wood & Havertz > Richarlison & Coutinho
    C) Wood & Doherty > Richarlison & Tsimikas (3.8m available)
    D) smth else??
