Who are the best FPL captain options for Double Gameweek 19?

2,658 Comments

Fantasy Premier League managers are advised to target assets who play twice in the first Double Gameweek of the season when looking for their next captain.

With each of the current top four clubs, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester City, each playing twice during Double Gameweek 19, the most popular premium assets are leading the armband discussion.

As always, we have taken a look into the best options in great detail, using the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area to assess individual form and the state of their opponents’ defences.

CAPTAIN POLL

For the second week running, Manchester City’s maestro Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) leads the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll, this time with just over 37.0% of votes.

The Belgian shares the vast majority of votes with Mohamed Salah (£12.5m, 26.0%), who comes back into our consideration after missing out on a match in Blank Gameweek 18.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m, 7.0%), Jamie Vardy (£10.1m, 5.1%) and Tomas Soucek (£5.3m, 4%) complete this week’s top-five list.

In order to tackle this Double Gameweek captaincy debacle effectively, we will analyse Gameweek 19’s key teams and assets separately, as opposed to focusing on the key matches, as we usually do.

      Any time you are losing a SGW player do a player who will definitely play both games of a DGW, then l think you can justify the hit. Unless it's a defender who doesn't have stellar fixtures.

      I'm not WCing next GW.

    Struggling with who to bench...

    Start:
    a) Neto
    b) Konsa
    c) Dallas

    Martinez
    Cancelo, Dias, Coufal
    Grealish, Salah, KDB(c), Bruno, Neto*
    Antonio, Bamford

    (4.0, Konsa, Dallas, Brewster)

      I'd play Dallas, Neto is a doubt so might only make a cameo while it's hard to know what shape Villa will be in or if Konsa will be available

      "Adama Traore (hamstring) will be assessed along with Pedro Neto after he suffered an injury in Tuesday's defeat to Everton." ~Skysports.

      I'd start him if he plays but you might want to keep an eye on him.

            Thanks. Did Kane > vardy only, I quite like that move for a few weeks (I have son).

            I have 11 DGWers (2 of which are keepers) and have son, Dallas, bamford and smith-Rowe as single GWers - bench boosting this week as I like the fixtures for those 4, and it is a strong playing bench. Can then start to focus on removing a little bit of dosh from my bench over the coming weeks (downgrade Callum Wilson, downgrade pope to Johnstone/areola as sub and maybe upgrade son to Salah
