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’:

    Which one do you prefer please? Would you change anything?

    A) Pickford
    Cash - Digne - MATIP
    MADDISON - SALAH - Zaha - Son
    KANE - Ings - Richarlison

    (Steele) - Delph - Tsimikas - Veltman

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think Delph might be injured, so I would replace him.

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

    Vardy or Kane (own Son) ?

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

      Kane as I don’t think Vardy will play both games

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

    A) Mane + Ings
    B) Coutinho + Kane

    FH - no Salah

  8. Catona75

    On my last picks on FH. Which 3?

    A) Robertson, Diaz/Jota and Kane
    B) Clyne, Salah and Vardy or
    C) Robertson, Salah and Maddison

    Been on A, currently on B…

  9. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is this FH to boring?

    Schmeichel
    Digne Cash Mykolenko
    Salah Son KdB Gordon
    Ings Kane Richarlison

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes. Wunderbar!

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Boring’s good. Looks great

  10. Tartan Brazilians
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Weghorst to Richarlison for a hit? Playing bench boost.

    Other options are Toney or Nketiah to Richarlison for hit. But like Brentford and Arsenal fixtures for 38.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd hold Weghorst as he has a double aswell. I'd ditch Nketiah

  11. noissimbus
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 10 months ago

    KDB not in the list of popular captains? Any reasons beyond the tough fixture of West Ham away?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No reason you wouldn’t be aware of. He’s fine if you want to go for him

      1. noissimbus
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks. Was curious if maybe there's some underlying factor considered. KDB seems to be a ramming machine at the moment, wouldn't bet against decent return regardless of match result.

        1. Grande Tubarão
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yeah, I don’t think he’s a bad option - it’s just like you say in the original post West Ham away is possibly a tough fixture (or tougher than the alternatives have). Son for example is also in incredible form and has Burnley at home. Then you chuck in the doublers too and I think there’s just going to be loads of variance this week between captaincy picks - could be a good opportunity to get ahead

  12. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years

    Pick one for DGW ..

    A- Digne & Gordon

  13. The Frenchie
    • 7 Years

    What do you think of this potential transferts:

    In: De Bruyne / Son / Mykolenko or Cash? / Richarlison
    Out: Salah / Kulusevski / TAA / Watkins

    Current team
    Schmeichel
    TAA / Robertson / Cancelo / James
    Salah / Mount / Kulusevski / Coutinho
    Kane / Watkins

    Cheers guys

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I don't like those moves too much. Is that -8

      1. The Frenchie
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        What would you do?

  14. Viper
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How does this look?

    Pickford

    Cash Dighe Mykolenko

    Salah Son KDB Zaha

    Vardy Richarlison Ings

    This has the potential to be a disaster, I can feel it 😆

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Similar to most fh teams

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If it’s a disaster for you it’s a disaster for everyone at least

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        *everyone free hitting 😉

        Won't be as many as you think

  15. L S P
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who do you like for a 4th MID?

    A) Maddison
    B) Coutinho
    C) Zaha

    And would you sacrifice KDB to have two of the above and upgrade Clyne to a MNC/LIV defender?

    Current FH:

    Pick
    Cash-Digne-Myko-Clyne
    Salah-KDB-Son-Zaha
    Kane-Rich

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Keep current FH team I think

  16. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Which one would you prefer this week:

    A) Robertson (sou)

      1 year, 10 months ago

      Cancelo

    Hi Guys,

    Any thoughts on my free hit team please? Thinking 3-5-2:

    Pickford (fodder)
    Cash, Holgate, Justin. (Clyde, Tsimi)
    Salah, KDB, Son, Maddison, Zaha
    Ings, Richarlison (Nketiah)

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Looks good mate

  18. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Latest free hit draft. Thoughts please chaps

    Pickford (Steele)
    TAA Cancelo Digne (Clyne Tsimi)
    Salah Son Zaha Gordon (KDH)
    Vardy Richarlison Nkieitah

    1. Tigger_7
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nice. I currently have KDB and thinking of switching to Son for -4! Worth it?

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

        Not for -4 no

        1. Tigger_7
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Current team
          Schmeichel (Pickford)
          Cancelo Matip Robbo (Laporte,Alonso)
          Salah,KDB,Coutinho,Gordon (KDH)
          Ings, Richarlison, Nketiah
          20points ahead in Mini league. Would you FH now or keep it to Wk38?

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Sorry, I’m not a fan. Most are picking 3 of Kane/KDB/Salah/Son - I’ve seen some with 4 and you’ve just got 2. What are you expecting from Vardy in terms of minutes? I’d downgrade Cancelo to a doubler and upgrade Vardy to Kane

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

    Best use of FT?

    a) Ramsdale > Pickford
    b) James > Mykolenko
    c) Robertson > Mykolenko
    d) Saka > Zaha

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      D

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        That’s a lot of funds raised in B and C though - if you can bench Myko in 38 then it kind of depends what you’d do with the funds too

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A or D, lean towards A

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

      D

  20. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Mahrez & Saka to Maddison & Zaha -4 a no brainer, right?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not a no brainer.

  21. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which one would you prefer to have this week:

    A) Kane (BUR)
    B) KDB (whu)

    1. Tigger_7
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’m thinking Burnley will keep it tight but then KDB will probably be playing deeper v the hammers.. a tough one..

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kane - Burnley and Spurs need to win and have injuries to defence

  22. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Likely doing Jesus to Ings with FT

    Looking for thoughts on the options below.
    A. Laporte to Mykolenko/Casha (-4)
    B. Saka to Zaha (-4)
    C. Play Brownhill

    1FT 0.5ITB - No chips left
    Schmeichel
    TAA Robbo Cancelo James Laporte*
    Salah Son Kulu Saka
    Jesus
    (Steele Brownhill Gelhardt Greenwood)

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

    Ramsdale to Pickford and Saka to Maddison for a hit or just do the one?

    Other keeper is Dubravka

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Just the one transfer

  24. Tigger_7
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Current team
    Schmeichel (Pickford)
    Cancelo Matip Robbo (Laporte,Alonso)
    Salah,KDB,Coutinho,Gordon (KDH)
    Ings, Richarlison, Nketiah
    20points ahead in Mini league. Would you FH now or keep it to Wk38?
    Go Schmeichel or Pickford?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      FH38 and start Pickford

  25. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Hi folks, please help organise my bench players

    Ederson
    Robertson, Cancelo, Matip, Cash
    Salah, Son, Zaha, Maddison, Kulu
    Nkietah

    Sanchez, Jonny, Mateta, Rodrigo

    Thank you

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      You have it right

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I would be tempted to start Jonny over Matip depending on the FAC lineup

    3. Tigger_7
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think perfect as they are. Jonny better prospect than Mateta who probably won’t play both..

  26. George James
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best move?

    A) White >> Digne / Cash -4

    B) Sanchez >> Martinez -4

    C) neither..

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A or C

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

    If you could only pick one Leicester would you go Maddison or Vardy?
    I’m trying to make up 30 points over the final 2 gameweeks and on FH this week.
    Have Richarlison and Ings already. Not sure who my 3rd striker would be if not Vardy right now

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Vardy

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Cheers. Plenty of other mid options

    2. OptimusBlack

      Vardy Party

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Feels more fun

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Vardy

      1. FPL_Crisis
