~ FPL GW 19 – Captain Picks [↓THREAD↓]
GW 19 marks the halfway point of the season and what a rollercoaster it has been so far. Each week provides a new challenge in our FPL teams and this week is no different as a number of clubs have a DGW's for us to sink our teeth into.
GW 19 marks the halfway point of the season and what a rollercoaster it has been so far. Each week provides a new challenge in our FPL teams and this week is no different as a number of clubs have a DGW's for us to sink our teeth into.
This no doubt has managers scrambling to squeeze players with a double into their squad and, at the time of writing, the teams with a double gw in GW19 are as follows: Aston Villa, Burnley, Chelsea, Fulham, Leicester, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Newcastle, West Brom & West Ham.
~ PREMIUM PICKS
° Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) vs CRY (H) & AVL (H)
Once again, KDB (£11.8m) will be expected to be the most captained player by FPL managers in DGW 19 as he faces an out of form Palace side that have just 5 points from their last five premier league games.

Once again, KDB (£11.8m) will be expected to be the most captained player by FPL managers in DGW 19 as he faces an out of form Palace side that have just 5 points from their last five premier league games.
The Belgian is no doubt the orchestrator of the City attack and he is slowly rediscovering his form of past seasons that has rightfully made him a staple in FPL teams every year. Man City face a Palace side that have conceded 12 goals in their last five games which leaves them
with the second worst defence in the league on recent form and there is no better player to take advantage of this than the magician himself. If his fixture against Palace wasn’t enough to make your mind up,
then maybe a second GW 19 fixture at home to an Villa squad that has been affected by a Covid-19 outbreak will. Despite Villa’s recent run of form, if they play a weakened side as expected then they should be no match for this prolific Man City outfit.
° Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) vs MUN (H) & BUR (H)
Another stalwart FPL asset Mo Salah (£12.5m), will be a hot topic in the lead up to GW 19 but as ever is very much a captaincy candidate. Despite providing no returns in his last three league games, it is hard to ignore Liverpool’s
Another stalwart FPL asset Mo Salah (£12.5m), will be a hot topic in the lead up to GW 19 but as ever is very much a captaincy candidate. Despite providing no returns in his last three league games, it is hard to ignore Liverpool’s
top scorer in the wake of a DGW. Regardless of form, Salah is the type of player that will not stop till he scores goals, a selfish player that sometimes misses a great opportunity to play a teammate one on one but this is a trait that makes him even more attractive for captaincy
if he can find form again in front of goal. As the title race heats up, Liverpool can’t afford to slip up at home to Man Utd and we expect Salah to be on the end of anything Pool do on the day. Following the top of the table clash, Liverpool will face a Burnley side that also
have a DGW and with an already thin squad, the quick turnaround could prove fatal for them. Burnley away from home are not the same team as they are at Turf Moor so we think Salah, with the aid from Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) and Sadio Mane (£11.9m), will prove too much for them.
° Harry Kane (£11.1m) vs SHU (A)
Despite not having a DGW, Kane (£11.1m) faces a Sheffield team that have just the one win all season and with limited premium options in the DGW category I believe Kane stands out as a potential GW19 captain pick. The Blades have conceded the
Despite not having a DGW, Kane (£11.1m) faces a Sheffield team that have just the one win all season and with limited premium options in the DGW category I believe Kane stands out as a potential GW19 captain pick. The Blades have conceded the
third most goals all season and their defence is still missing some key players who helped them to their top-half finish last season. Fresh off their first win against Newcastle in GW18, Wilder's side will come out thinking they can snatch at least a point against spurs but this
emotion may end up being their downfall if Kane and Son can unleash their lethal partnership. Kane’s ten goals and 11 assists so far this season puts him as the highest scoring forward in the game to date so if you’re unsure on any of the DGW players, Kane is the obvious choice.
~ DIFFERENTIAL CHOICE
Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m)/ Michail Antonio (£6.2m) vs BUR (H) & WBA (H)
Keeping focus on this week’s set of double gw fixtures, we are looking to West Ham and their favourable double.
Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m)
/ Michail Antonio (£6.2m) vs BUR (H) & WBA (H)Keeping focus on this week’s set of double gw fixtures, we are looking to West Ham and their favourable double.
The Hammers face both Burnley and West Brom at home and there are a number of routes into this inform West Ham side that boast an impressive 18 points in their last 10 games. Bowen (£6.3m) is the stand-out for us though as he is often the centre of the Hammers attack, controlling
the play in and around the opposition box. After selling Haller last week, Antonio (£6.2m) is expected to return to the starting line-up for the London club and this can only be great news for Bowen who will relish the chance to play alongside him again as he poses a threat in
the air and in behind, both Burnley and West Brom will have their work cut out for sure with these two leading the line. Bowen and Antonio, both with a 3.4% ownership at present, provide huge differential value to those managers looking for an edge on their mini league opponents.
Alternatively, there are a number of West Ham players that should offer great differential value this week such as Aaron Cresswell (£5.4m), Tomas Soucek (£5.3m) & Said Benrahma (£6.0m).
