jcarmjn Defenders and goalkeepers come under the spotlight as we assess the best players to bring in for Double Gameweek 26.
With some plum fixtures and plenty of in-form players on offer, we’ve picked out the top options for all Fantasy Premier League (FPL) budgets.
Is a Manchester City defensive double-up still viable? Are there better options than Emiliano Martinez (£5.3m) in goal? We assess all the options in the Premium Members article below.
Anyone considering Reggy (Spurs) for the double? Couple of plum fixtures and can offer good points at either end of the pitch...
Only just back from injury do you think he’ll start both?
That's the only concern, yeah. Am gonna keep an eye on what happens in their Europa Cup game on Thurs with he and Davies. I think Reggy was taken off on the previous game, so hopefully he could be ready for 2 starts by then...:)
Can't trust Spurs defence and Mourinho seems to be seeing EL as their best way into the CL for next season so he may favour that when those games are about meaning he gets a rest here and there
Martinez
Dias Cancelo Shaw Lowton
Bruno Salah Gundo Son
DCL Ings
Pope, Bamford, Raphinha, Dallas
Looking to bench boost 26 and plan towards 29, then WC31. Which would you prefer?
A) Son/Salah/Bruno to Barnes and Ings to Kane (-4)
B) Ings to Watkins
Forget about Ings

(Can you tell I'm bored of work?!)
OH WHOOPS
Best 4.9 or less defender for the double? Have Martinez and double City defence.
A - Holgate
B - Coleman
C - Other suggestion?
Some of Leicester guys I would go, Pereira or Soyuncu.
I'm more inclined to triple captain a midfielder rather than a forward.
Goal is 5 rather than 4 for a forward.
Clean sheet 1 point extra also.
Needs to have penalties.
When multiplied by 3 this can add up.
Needs free kicks .
Needs to be in great form.
Needs to be lucky.
One man fits the bill.
Bruno?
You got it in one.
Ha!
Looking like bruno, I'll watch that Chelsea game thinking anything is a bonus.
Imo Barnes could be a let down- Tough game on Thursday where the score is 0-0 if he gets overplayed in that and they play early on Sunday could have an affect
Better than Grealish at that price
Plus Leicester fixtures after is sweet
Agree on this was more in terms of the double
The issue I have with him is most of his recent returns have been against teams that have been quite poor defensively or are at least leaky: Villa, Liverpool, MU, Leeds, Everton, Chelsea (under Lampard), Southampton, Palace. The only times he's returned against what are normally tight defences is against Burnley at the start of the season and Fulham. I'm not sure sure he'll get much change out of teams like Arsenal, Burnley and Brighton. If I avoid him as a Maddison replacement I'll likely go for Mount though and his fixtures aren't great.
If i do Cavani -> DCL with 1FT, i get this team (+ 1.4 ITB):
Martinez
Mee - Dier - Dias - Stones
Raphina - Salah - Fernandes - Son - Gundogan
DCL
Steer | Bam - Ings - Holding
Worth a bench boost? I have WC & FH
Definitely don't think it's worth a BB, but good transfer.
UCL could change a lot, but any thoughts here?
Martinez
Shaw Cancelo Stones
Salah Bruno (C) Son Barnes Raphina
Bamford DCL
Areola; Antonio, James, Coufal..1FT, 1.2itb
1) Raphina > Gundo
2) James > Dias (triple MC defense)
3) Antonio > Watkins (bench Bamford)
4) Anything else? a hit?
Hmm maybe 2 - Antonio and Raphina could still do well
Who would you play from here:
A) Dallas
B) Shaw
C) Rudiger
Shaw, by some margin.
Thanks!
Shaw
Who scores more in GW26?
A) Maddison, Bamford
B) JRod, DCL (-8)
Help me out here if you can! Is a double up in form Everton assets in JRod/Siggy and DCL worth -8 if selling injured Maddison and Bamford that has one game?
Have both Maddison and Grealish and like them both long term but cant afford to have both if not playing double gameweek (with Gundo, Salah, Fernandes) - Man City with double double need a 3rd (Stones 2nd)
a) one of them for Foden and keep the other depending injury updates as week progresses
b) Both out and KDB + Smith Rowe in (-4)
c) neither - any other ideas?!
Grealish to Barnes, upgrade somewhere else?
Leicester fans..odds of Thomas (4.2) starting both DGW matches?
Possible but Castagne and Pereira have played lb and rb in their careers
Could be a nice punt if funds are tight
Antonio+Maddison+Lowton to Watkins+Barnes+Konsa worth a -4?
Could skip the Lowton to Konsa and do the rest for free, but I think Konsa will do better than Lowton in the DGW, and also has a fixture in 29 (maybe even double in 28 too?)
Thinking of doing BB, good choice with this team?
0.7 itb 1FT.
Martinez, Pope
Mee, Dallas, Rudiger, Digne, Cancelo
Sterling, Gundogan, Bruno, Rashford, Raphinha
DCL, Bamford, Ings
What transfers would you do of these options?
Out: Ings, Rashford, Mee/Dallas, Raphinha?
In: Kane, Watkins, Son, Barnes, Targett/Dier?
Anyone considering one of the Leicester defenders? Ricardo looked good against Villa
Would like pereira but it means I’ve to sell Dallas
He looked great for sure but finishing it not his jam. Might risk him though
Selling Coufal leaves me with 5.9 to spend so either a foxes defender or maybe Matt Targett
Help me pick please 🙂
a. lowton+bamford to vardy+digne -4
b. lowton+bamford+james to kane+digne+aina -8
