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.

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’:

      4 IMO. losing either of KDB or Salah for Son looks criminal.

      Okay, some moves... getting rid of Richarlison... as a neutral if I want to see any of those teams relegated, it's Everton, so decided I wouldn't have any of their assets moving on. Nothing worse than seeing an asset you don't own return, or an asset you own return, but it's a return you didn't want in real life. Vardy in, Ings in, Jota as a back-up in case of any big hitter getting rested (KdB and Son over them surely? or do we think West Ham are better than most teams City have run over and that the Belgian might not see much joy after his 4 goal haul?).

          What's the thinking behind keeping the FH for dgw37 and picking mostly sgw players?

            Tbh its not like 37 was a particular, long-planned target of mine. I just haven't really needed the 2nd FH yet & now have to use it.... But I have 5 doublers in there & only 3 players retained from my main team (Son, KDB, Kane)

        FH in GW 38.

        Thanks.

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

          I think Watkins play 1.5 games

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Cheers.
            Yeah I think so too.
            I have Coutinho and Cash as well and no Leicester cover.
            Maybe that's why I'm asking. Maddison might get 1.5 too.

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

          As FH38er with Watkins and Saka, I will be waiting to see if there are training pics of Watkins tomorrow, and when that doesn't help me which it won't, I will probably be A.

        On FH

        Vardy and Maddison could be Kane and Jota, which combo would you prefer here?

        Pickford
        Cash Digne Mykolenko
        Salah Son Zaha Maddison
        Ings Vardy Richarlison

        1. Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Kane and Jota. Not sure Vardy and Madders will start both games.

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

          Vardy & Jota

        3. House Frey Wedding Planner
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Kane and Jota/Diaz

        4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Vardy and Maddison

      4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        What do we think the Leicester line up would be?

        1. DelPiero10
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Full strength

          • Holmes
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            probably rotated in both games and strong XI in final week

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

              Fear Maddison will play Chelsea and rest for the other one.

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

                So rest-play-rest again on final day? You think he's that fragile he can only play 1 of 3?

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

                cant really predict tbh. I guess he can play 65-70mins in all games. or sub appearance vs Watford, then start vs Chelsea and Saints

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

            I think rotation comes in the Chelsea game with the tightest turnaround before Southampton

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

          Any changes required for captaincy and benching here ?

        3. Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Final 2 drafts, not sure double Spurs or Liverpool is the way to go.

          A) Kane + Cash + Andersen + Gordon
          B) Richarlison + Digne + Mykolenko + Diaz

          Schmeichel

            say that Marc Guehi will likely "not be ready" to face Aston Villa but report that Vicente Guaita has returned to training on Friday and will be assessed.
