Captain Sensible

Who are the best FPL captain options for Double Gameweek 37?

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers face another tough captaincy decision for Double Gameweek 37, with no real standout favourite for the armband.

In an attempt to find the best one for this latest round, 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 Sunday’s 10:30 GMT deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

Richarlison (£7.6m) is the man who tops the pile but not by much. 24.2% of voters handed their support to the Everton forward, who is in decent form, with three attacking returns in his last five starts.

Son Heung-min (£11.0m) is just behind in second place, backed by 22.39%.

Wilfried Zaha (£6.9m) occupies third place with 9.68%, followed by Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) and Ollie Watkins (£7.5m), on 7.98% and 6.99% respectively.

SON HEUNG-MIN/HARRY KANE

Gabriel injury latest as Son and Kane haul in north London derby

Son Heung-min’s midweek goal against Arsenal closed him to within one of Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot.

The South Korean also added an assist, which means he has now produced five double-figure hauls in his last eight matches and trails Salah by just 16 points at the top of the FPL standings.

As for Harry Kane (£12.4m), since Antonio Conte came to the helm, he is top among all players for non-penalty expected goal involvement (xGI), with his 23 attacking returns in 26 starts only bettered by Son.

Last six matches: ARS/liv/LEI/bre/BHA/avl


Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, have now won five of their last six home league games, scoring at least three goals in each of those victories.

And even with just one fixture in Double Gameweek 37, Son/Kane remain attractive propositions for the armband against a Burnley side potentially missing both of their first-choice centre-halves: James Tarkowski (£4.9m) exited last weekend’s game against Aston Villa in the early stages of the second half after feeling tightness in his hamstring, while Ben Mee (£4.6m) is struggling with a leg injury.

The Clarets’ goal attempts conceded heatmap from Gameweek 33 onwards – Mike Jackson’s first match in charge – offers further encouragement for Son backers, with plenty of shots allowed from the South Koreans ‘zone’:

      Good team.
      Is it possible to get Kane for Sterling?

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yes, Diaz could be the replacement.

    2. Kingy109
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I wouldn't pick Sterling without a decent first bench. Pool mid?

      1. pablo discobar

        Can't see vardy doing 2 in a week

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Looks template enough, so pretty solid!
      See below, am weighing up if vardy is worth dropping Salah!

  4. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Leaving Salah out on FH 37 is massive risk, but which do you prefer?

    A) Salah & 5.0 def(Prob Anderson)
    B) Vardy & Robertson

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Or 3rd option lol
      C) Diaz/Jota (not sure which is better!) & Vardy

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm doing C so I'll vote that

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Who you plumping for from Diaz and jota? Or seeing how the final plays out?

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yeah just wait and see, I actually have both in the team just one benched currently, I could get to Salah instead (just have to downgrade Castsgne and maybe play Sess instead) but honestly I think I prefer to go for one of those

        2. Boberella
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I’m going Diaz and Vardy, but Pool mid dependent on Cup Final li who/minutes

  5. Hawk Eye

    On a FH.
    A. Kane+Mykolenko
    B. Vardy+ Cacelo

    Got Richarlison, Ings & Son

  6. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    FH how's this draft? - non pool dice roll...

    Pickford
    Digne Cash Myko
    KDB Son Coutinho Zaha
    Vardy Kane Richarlison (c)

    Fodder bench.

  7. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Werner ---> Ings or Watkins?

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      or Richarlison

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

        Richarlison’s EO will be pretty high, so depends if your chasing or protecting.

    2. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Havertz ---> Coutinho,

      or any of these options for additional hits (-4)

  8. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is it crazy to be thinking of Coutinho as a captain option? Am chasing 40 pts in mini-league and want to choose one of the following differentials (leader has none of them)

    Current choice for captain:
    A) Coutinho
    B) Kane
    C) HBarnes

    Feels wrong putting it on a single game weeker but Coutinho and Barnes don't exactly instill me with confidence.

    1. Mcgugan
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Don’t love any of them, but I think Barnes could be the best bet for a haul vs Watford

      1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeh, that is 'if' he starts... am hoping that now Leicester are out of Europe there may be a bit of consistency, especially after he did quite well last game.

    2. cruzex
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      i like coutinho (c) iam thinking the same

  9. mataave
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Any urgent changes needed?

    Sa
    James - Cash - Cancelo
    Salah - Zaha - Maddison - Kulu - Saka
    Kane (c) - Richarlison (vc)

    Foster - Matip - Rudiger - Broja

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

    1FT 0ITB

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Digne
    Salah Saka Kulu Gordon
    Kane Nketiah

    Foster - Pukki Raph Laporte*

    Ramsdale to Pickford, Saka to Zaha (-4)? Any brighter options?

  11. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    ok - weird construct for this question but it makes sense (TAA down - fodder up)
    would you do either?

    a/ TAA > Vardy (-4)
    b/ TAA & Jota > Son & Richarlison (-8)

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

      why would you sell taa?

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

        I got Robbo - looking for ways to fund some things.
        I'm down 200k so trying to have some fun with upside chasing.

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

      Best saved after the FA cup final

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

        True -
        Option 1 I got time on - option 2 I have exact money, so would be a today move (and I don't want to do it today really)

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

      if you really set on it id go A then jota should start saints

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

          good tip - depends on the other move but may be able to pull that off.

  12. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is this free hit team good to go?

    Pickford
    Cash, Mings, Holgate
    Salah, Son, De Bruyne, Zaha
    Ings, Richarlison, Vardy

    Thank you!

    1. Boberella

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

      I like these ones with the triple forwards.

      For me;

      Salah > Mane
      Holgate > Mykolenko
      Mings > Digne

      1. Emp

                  • 2 Years

                  Getting Mane’s fine mate. He more than likely starts - just got to keep an eye on the FA Cup final

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years

    Captain Son or Richarlison?

    1. Diedhiou See That?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Son

    2. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Hey man, you ever make out on the early match captain?

      I have never.

      I am picking my little Son, but I expect to be burned on this deal

  14. matiakez
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Ramsdale and Saka to Pickford and Maddison for a hit or just one of them?

  15. Diedhiou See That?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A. Watkins to Richarlison (c)
    B. Havertz and Watkins to Son (c) and fodder (-4)

  16. Emp

    A. Salah cap and foden
    B. Ings Cap and Salah (-4) ( foden bench)

  17. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who would you captain out of these lot if protecting an 80 points lead.. (i know.. but want to be safe)

    1. Salah
    2. Kane
    3. Son
    4. Richarlison
    5. Zaha
    6. KDB

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm in a similar position with a 60 lead and going 4

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Okay, sounds good.

    2. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      4

      80pt lead is probably too much for your rivals.

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks mate, yeah he has a free hit left too so I imagine he'll use it this week.

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

      3

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah I'm very tempted, captained Salah through all of Son's hauls so you just know that the tables will turn when I captain haha

    4. Mcgugan
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’d go 4, but if you think you know who he will captain then do that

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I honestly have no idea, it's gonna be his FH team so could be anyone..

    5. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Son (protecting 100 pt lead)

  18. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    These are the differences between the FH teams I've come up with, which one do you prefer please?

    A. Robbo, Zaha, Maddison, Kane
    B. Myko, Zaha, Kdb, Vardy
    C. Myko, Gordon, Kdb, Kane

    1. Boberella

      B

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Mane is overdue a rest, I would be surprised if firmino and Jota don't start against Southampton. For that reason A

  21. stevehaigh84

    What is best use of a FT here:
    A) Dier/ Matip to Digne?
    B) Salah to Son
    C) something else?

    Team is:
    Schmeichel (Foster)
    Matip, Rudger, Cancelo (Dier, Williams)
    Salah, Barnes, Cout, Gordon (Mount)
    Weghorst, Richarlison, Kane

  25. FPL Emu

    Anyone wanna help me build a free hit team to catch up on this guy, who is without a chip?

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/205162/event/36

    Big monies on the line.

    Something along the lines of KDB, Son, AVL defence (double?). Mané? Salah? Diaz? Zaha?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Pickford
      Digne Cash ???
      Salah Son Zaha Maddison
      Vardy Ings Richarlison

      Steele Gordon Sessegnon Tsimikas

      1. FPL Emu
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Good shout mate. I think I msy avoid Salah though. Simply as catching up

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Ings and Salah to Kane and Coutinho

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Do I get a share of the big monies?

  26. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I'm glad more people are seeing sense and that Richarlison is leading the vote now

  27. kanuforpresident
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Chasing with FH, 25 points down

    Pick
    Digne cash Davies
    Mads Son Salah Zaha
    Ings Richarlison Kane
    Subs - cp and eve defender, fodder

    Thoughts? otherwise

    A) Vardy in for Kane
    B) KDB or Sterling in (would have to re-jig the team)

  28. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How's this FH

    Pickford
    Digne Cash Myko
    KDB Son Coutinho Zaha
    Richarlison Kane Vardy

    1. Mcgugan
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If want Ings personally - maybe for Kane and then upgrade a Villa defender.

      Depending if you want to gamble, could triple up on a defence.

      Looks good though

  29. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Either of these worth a hit?

    a) James > Mykolenko
    b) Saka > Zaha

    1. Mcgugan
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I wouldn’t say so

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No

  30. Mcgugan
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Already made a transfer. Now considering a -4.

    A) Foden to Zaha (-4)
    B) KDB to Son (-4)
    C) Kane to Vardy/Ings (-4)
    D) Nothing

    Pretty sure I’ll do nothing - but would like some validation!

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A or D
