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!

    Wise to do a Leeds triple up? Already have Bamford and Raphinha.

    A. Dallas (sell Mitchell)
    B. Rodrigo (sell Welbeck)
    C. Don't triple up

      A, especially if using BB, but definitely a risk to triple up in current climate

        I don't get this last comment. Soucek has played every single minute in the league this season.

        Raphinha may have a higher ceiling, which would be the reason to pick him.

      Personally, I'd avoid. They both looked hopeless the last two weeks. As a make-weight to get someone else in whom you can't afford maybe....there are worse 4.0 defenders out there....you may stumble into a six-pointer with BUR like today with NEW, but doubt it with SOU or MUN
