With one eye on Gameweek 17 and the other on the Double Gameweek, Az looks at some low-owned FPL players to in his latest Pro Pundits piece.

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas (even under strange circumstances) and are looking forward to the New Year and 2021.

I’m not going to focus this article on my team as Mark and I will be discussing what’s going wrong for me in our next episode of FPL BlackBox.

Instead, I’m going to present some differentials ahead of the upcoming Double Gameweek. I’m building my side out with the Free Hit in Gameweek 18 in mind, which leaves me free to plan who to have in place ready for Gameweek 19 – how exciting!

        Attack cancels the defence other than that, it looks very good tbh

        Far from nailed, but he should play. PVA is not having a good season, they really need some changes in their defence and he was MOTM against Lei and also I don't know why he doesn't play as a RB because Joel Ward is by far the worst in the league

        Mitchell I would say is guaranteed plenty of play time (although hard to state nailed) he’s defensively stronger than PVA and Roy is reportedly a big fan. He had the most successful tackles in the prem the first 6 weeks or so. Right now Roy really needs to build us up from the back again with Tomkins also back now.
