FPL managers will have to divide strategies for back-to-back Double Gameweeks, starting with Gameweek 24.
Burnley, Manchester City, Everton and Fulham play twice in Gameweek 24, making players like Ilkay Gundogan, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Matthew Lowton popular transfer targets for FPL managers.
These decisions have become more complicated, especially when we consider the return to fitness of premium FPL assets in Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy, who have some decent upcoming fixtures.
While all of this matters a lot, nothing is more important than the armband selection in FPL.
The right armband choice in a Double Gameweek can enable FPL managers to gain a great advantage over rivals.
With plenty of viable choices, it may be tough for you to pick the right options.
So without further ado, let's now take a look at the top five FPL captaincy picks for Gameweek 24.
Honorable Mentions: Jack Grealish (AVL) (MID) (£7.8 m), Phil Foden (MCI) (MID) (£6.1 m), Gabriel Jesus (MCI) (FWD) (£9.2 m), and Joao Cancelo (MCI) (DEF) (£6.0 m)
#5 Nick Pope (BUR) (GK) - £5.4 m (vs) CRY(A), FUL(H)
Two enticing Burnley fixtures make Nick Pope an unlikely FPL captaincy option.
The Clarets' shot-stopper is their highest-point scorer this season by some margin, producing a lot of saves and bonus points this season.
While they have done well defensively, a tally of seven clean sheets isn't that great, and Sean Dyche will want his side to improve on that this Gameweek.
While he isn't going to get any attacking returns, Pope usually gets save points in almost every game, and can pick up some bonus points too.
Considering that he can get close to 15 FPL points if Burnley keep clean sheets in both games, Pope is an interesting FPL captaincy option.
#4 Raheem Sterling (MCI) (MID) - £11.6 m (vs) TOT(H), EVE(A)
In-form Raheem Sterling is a decent FPL captaincy pick for Double Gameweek 24.
Man City's stand-in skipper has found the net in consecutive matches and goes into the game against Spurs with a lot of confidence.
He produced a total of 11 FPL points in Double Gameweek 19 and will look to do something similar in Gameweek 24.
Sterling is ranked third amongst FPL midfielders in the Threat Index and will look to showcase his goal-scoring prowess this Double Gameweek.
#3 Bruno Fernandes (MUN) (MID) - £11.5 m (vs) WBA(A)
Bruno Fernandes is a brilliant FPL captaincy pick, even if he has just one fixture.
Manchester United's talisman has bounced back from a dry spell with 24 FPL points in the last two Gameweeks with two goals and two assists.
Up next for Manchester United are a West Brom side that have conceded the most goals this season.
Considering United's phenomenal away form and Bruno Fernandes's impressive goal-involvement numbers, expect him to add to his FPL points tally.
#2 Dominic Calvert-Lewin (EVE) (FWD)- £7.7 m (vs) FUL(H), MCI(H)
Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin is another great FPL armband option to consider this Gameweek.
After a dry spell combined with some injury problems, the Toffees' striker has returned with a bang to provide 21 FPL points in the last two Gameweeks, including a 12-point haul against Manchester United in Gameweek 23.
With two home fixtures this Double Gameweek, Calvert-Lewin should be among the goals once more for his side.
While Manchester City won't be that easy to break down, Calvert-Lewin's set-piece prowess could enable him to breach their defense.
Overall, he's a great FPL captaincy option for Double Gameweek 24.
#1 Ilkay Gundogan (MCI) (MID)- £6.0 m (vs) TOT(H), EVE(A)
Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan has been a revelation in the FPL this season.
The midfielder has thrived in an advanced role for Pep Guardiola's side.
While his role as the side's penalty-taker remains at risk, his nine goals and one assist in just eleven games highlight his FPL potential.
Don't let his bargain price tag of £6.0 m put you off of giving him the captain's armband as the in-form German looks to extend Manchester City's lead at the top of the table.
