Scout Picks

FPL Double Gameweek 22 Scout Picks features double-ups from four clubs

We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players for Double Gameweek 22 ahead of today’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

We line up in a 4-3-3 formation and, as ever, are limited to an £83.0m budget for our starting XI.

Our four substitutes, meanwhile, are always chosen from the budget crop of players.

We write this on Friday afternoon after the announcement that Burnley v Leicester City was postponed but before any other fixture news (the north London derby could be at risk, for example), so as ever, it’s worth keeping eyes and ears on any late developments as a ‘double’ could become a ‘single’ in a short space of time.

GOALKEEPER

The best FPL goalkeepers for a Double Gameweek 22 Free Hit

Despite several underwhelming performances from Manchester United in recent weeks, David de Gea (£5.2m) has continued to impress. Since Ralf Rangnick’s arrival in Gameweek 15, the Spaniard is averaging 5.2 points per match, whilst his +3.10 expected goals (xG) prevented total is better than any other keeper. Notably, his 87.5% save percentage is only trumped by Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Jose Sa (£5.2m), with his seven saves against Newcastle United a prime example of just how crucial he is to the Red Devils. Across the season, just four clean sheets in 19 appearances isn’t anything to shout about, but a Double Gameweek involving trips to Aston Villa and Brentford does give de Gea every chance to add to that tally.

    Cheers.

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years

      A

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Flip flopping. Trossard possibly wins it for longer term fixtures - Mount has Spurs and then blanks so it's a transfer out waiting to happen (albeit at a time Salah and Son should be options again)

  4. Mozumbus
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    What is riskier from OR perspective?
    A. Not having Ronaldo (have Kane and Dennis). Will have to take hit and sacrifice Antonio.
    B. Not having Jota. Will get in for Son using FT
    Thanks

    why is salah in the picture version?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It's being fixed.

  8. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    FH
    get trossard (CRY, CHE) or play DCL (nor)?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Quite balanced. Probably DCL. Another reason not to FH for me.

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Prefer Mac Allister tbh

  9. smix
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is it ideal bringing in Chelsea & Brighton players when they have blanks going forward ? Chelsea play City too this GW

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I mean they're one of the few teams with least doubt over the security of their DGW - but yes, any transfer in is a transfer out again soon

  10. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    For this week only

    A) Telles
    B) Dalot

    Neither is not an option

  11. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who's going to be on pens for Liverpool?

    1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Fabinho

      1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Or Milner

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Fabinho

  12. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Any ideas here?

    Foster
    TAA Alonso Cancelo
    Maddison Gray Bowen Jota
    Dennis Watkins Antonio

    Subs: Ramsdale, Son, Salah, James

  13. Fpl_Ludwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Should i keep Maddison or take a hit to move to Trossard/Lucas moura

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If Moura ends up with one fixture, you might be a bit peeved. Trossard with 2 fixtures doesn't seem much of an upgrade this week, let alone long-term. Stick

  14. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Currently

    Fernandez Carson
    Cancelo TAA Reguilon Coufal Tsimikas
    Salah Son Bowen Martinelli Delph
    Ronaldo Dennis Broja

    Obviously Salah and Son gotta go but who to bring in?? Thinking 2 of Jota Mount Maddison??? Thoughts??

    1. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Jota Mount

  15. Sun God Nika
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Need some advice , happy to comment on any questions you may have
    Much appreciated

    Sanchez (Ramsdale)
    Taa Cancelo Rudiger
    Jota Bernado Bowen Esr
    Dennis Toney Watkins

    (Dier Son James) all out till feb or longer

    Had dier in for toney until the update came...

    In for Son options?

    A. Maddison
    B. Mount
    C. KDB
    D Fernandes (Too risky i know)

    1. outernational
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mount this week but you need a plan to take him out for the coming blanks.

  16. swanseag55
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Was going to play Bachmann and have Pickford on the bench. With the possibility Watford only having one game, better to play Pickford?

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Well they are playing norwich so yes

  17. N00B
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best captain between:
    A) Trent
    B) Bowen

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      bowen

  18. jaywills
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A) Saka and Broja -> Mount and King (-4)
    B) Saka, Broja and Liveramento -> Moura, King, Cucurella (-8)

  19. That Fantasy Guy
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is anyone playing free hit this week or advised not to/ rather take a -4?

    1. jaywills
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I have 2 FH and deciding against it. Would rather take hits. Especially with watford burnley and arsenal spurs potentially off.

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks this is my thinking too

  20. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Did Arteta have a presser at 2 after all? Can't see any new info

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Cor, this non-FH team looked good a week back...!

    DDG
    TAA Alonso Regulion*
    Son* Jota Maddison Bowen
    Ronaldo Antonio King

    Steele / Gray Cancelo Livramento

    If DGW off for Spurs, play:
    A) Regulion
    B) Cancelo

    RE: Son/Maddison/Gray
    1) Bench Son, play Gray (save FT)
    2) Son > Fernandes, play Maddison (bench Gray)
    3) Son > Fernandes, play Gray (bench Maddison)

    Maybe I'll save a FT so when the DGW23 fixtures are announced right as the deadline hits, I'll have capacity to accommodate it!

    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B and save FT.

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B)

      1)

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks both. I'm leaning towards that now too. Have mercy on our souls.

  22. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Antonio > Ronaldo (C) -4?

  23. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bench order?

    A) Foden
    B) Coufal
    C) Reguilon

  24. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    This week's captain pick will be massive. Who would you go for out of:

    A. Jota
    B. Bowen
    C. Dennis

  25. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    The fact that Arsenal haven't released any team news by now surely means they're trying all they can to get their game postponed.

    Hard making transfers on Fanteam and doing a Free Hit on FPL while not knowing.

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Arteta. "We had concerns already before the [Liverpool] match, and after, we had more issues. We haven't been able to assess the squad yet because we couldn't fly last night. We just arrived to the training ground and all the boys are being looked at. So we don't know." #AFC

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Not going to know today- Arteta said team will be assessed tomorrow

  26. gart888
    • 9 Years

    Best Son replacement for a short term punt? (Will be moving back to Salah when he returns) Already have 3 City slots filled.

    A) Mount
    B) Moura
    C) Bruno
    D) Other?

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      All come with risks

  27. Jabba12
    • 11 Years

    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    1. Kaptenen
