Fantasy Premier League captain tips
Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) vs Crystal Palace and Aston Villa
De Bruyne is likely to best the most popular captaincy choice for DGW19.
City will play two home fixtures against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa.

The Belgian has been in fine form of late, with a goal and three assists in his last four outings.
Jamie Vardy (LEI) vs Southampton and Chelsea
Leicester are another side that will feature twice in Gameweek 19, which could be fruitful for Vardy owners.
Although the striker has netted just once in his last four games, he has still provided three assists.
Harry Kane (TOT) vs Sheffield Utd
Tottenham are not among the teams playing a double gameweek, but that shouldn't rule out their assets.
Kane has been in excellent form this season, scoring 11 times and providing the same number of assists.
Spurs head to bottom-club Sheffield United, who have lost 15 of 18 games this term.

Fantasy Premier League captain differentials
Michail Antonio (WHU) vs Burnley and West Brom
West Ham also have a double gameweek coming up, giving the striker an opportunity to shine.
He has come off the bench in the last two games following his return from injury but with the club letting Sebastien Haller leave this month, it suggests Antonio could be back to full fitness.
The 30-year-old scored three times in the opening six games of the season before his injury.
Patrick Bamford (LEE) vs Brighton
Leeds may only have a single fixture this week but Bamford again makes for an interesting differential option.
With 10 goals and five assists this season, he is one of just six players to register over 100 FPL points.
He was rested for the FA Cup defeat at Crawley, so he should be fresh for the clash with Brighton.
