We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players for Double Gameweek 23 ahead of today’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

We line up in a 3-4-3 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.

GOALKEEPER

 1

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Jose Sa (£5.2m) is our chosen goalkeeper in Double Gameweek 23, ahead of a favourable away fixture at Brentford. The 29-year-old is FPL’s highest-scoring keeper and this week he’ll be up against a Bees’ side struggling for goals, with just four across their last six matches. Bruno Lage’s rearguard have been in excellent form in recent weeks, with Sa’s nine saves against Southampton last time out a prime example of just how crucial he is for Wolves.

DEFENDERS

The best FPL defenders for a Gameweek 4 Wildcard 5

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.4m) sits second overall for FPL points, with last weekend’s assist against Brentford making him the first defender in Premier League history to register 10 or more in three separate seasons. The England full-back has produced either a goal, assist or clean sheet in 14 of his 19 appearances in 2021/22, and now takes on a Crystal Palace side that has conceded 75 crosses from their left-flank across their last six matches, compared to just 48 on the right.

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Start one:

    A) Lamptey
    B) Reguilon
    C) Ait Nouri (-4)

  4. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts?

    Ramsdale
    Trent • Cancelo • Dias
    Bruno • Foden • Jota • Bowen • Saka
    DCL • King(C)
    (Sanchez / Alonso / White / Antonio)

    Thinking either of the GK’s -> Foster or Antonio -> Dennis. Got a big benching dilemma too and could potentially BB. Not keen at all on Dennis after this week

    1. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd save

  5. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you get KDB for Bilva if you also have Foden?

    Or just go Bilva to Raphina?

    1. Max City
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haha very similar to my question below

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, GL!

    2. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bilva to Raphinha is exactly the move I'm considering (also have Foden)

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't go KDB if you could for free?

        1. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I can do Bilva to Raph and Bruno to KDB for -4. I'm also considering no move and rolling the FT for after the IB

    4. Max City
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have Foden too, and now toying of having KDB for a hit!

    5. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would if it doesn't effect you getting Salah back

  6. Max City
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you lose first

    A) Dawson
    B) Emerson Royale

    Who would you get first:
    1) KDB
    2) Raphinha

    Cheers!

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A1

    2. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

      Depends on your team

      1. Max City
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        My other MIDs:
        Jota Foden Maddison Bowen

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Exact the same mid 🙂

  7. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Watkins > King Yes or no?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

  8. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Very torn on whether to go for Raphinha or Sterling for Allan. Raphinha has a great fixture this week and a decent run after and could end up with a double next week, and will be on pens while Bamford is still out. Sterling has a fixture that generally causes City problems but he's been playing well and it's the type of game that should suit him, he has a nice little batch of games coming up, and obviously he's playing for the best side in the league. Might be on penalties this weekend too with Mahrez surely not in the squad so soon after returning.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't KDB on pens?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, Mahrez then Raheem

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't raphinha affected by internationals at some point ? Might be wrong though..

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you already have a city attacker id go Raph

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      fwiw I'm doing Antonio & Mount to Dennis & Sterling (-4)

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Really depends what you'd do with the extra cash? The lack of doubles for city is putting me off (as well as the normal rotation!). I'd probably prefer to have the cash available to react to DGWs or getting Salah back. Man U double in 25 would be interesting and might mean I don't sell Bruno or Ronaldo next week as planned

  9. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Unfortunately i made a noobish mistake in my Wc and i have Carson.Is it worth to sell him for Foster for a hit or start DDG?

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just start DDG.

      1. Old Wulfrunian

    Afternoon guys. Some advice on what to do please? 4m ITB+ 1FT. Thanks.

    Foster
    Reguilon - Cancelo - TAA
    Maddison - Bruno - Jota - Mount - Bowen
    King (C) - Antonio

    (DDG) - Broja - Lamptey - Livra

    A) Mount > Foden (gives me money for Salah)
    B) Mount > KDB (harder to get salah back in)
    C) Antonio + Mount > KDB + Dennis (-4) (harder to get salah back in)
    D) Anything else?

    1. JollyGoodYellows
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

    Which move would you prefer here? Already have King (c)

    A) Antonio + Gundo --> Dennis + KDB -4 (play White in def)
    B) Gundo + Alonso --> Foden + Digne -4 (play Antonio at fwd)

      B

    2. Max City
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      4 years, 1 month ago

      b

  14. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is there a case for picking Sterling over de Bruyne?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I guess but I’ve never had much luck with Sterling

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sterlo higher up in the pecking order for pens, is said above.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

      I'm getting Sterling over Foden as I can't reach for KDB.

      Easy to get Bruno later for the speculated DGW25 as well.

    5. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      depends where you are with Salah

  15. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Digne or Tierney on WC? Tierney has blanks but they can be navigated with 2 FH or FT, they have 4 games in hand..

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ive gone for Tierney. Playing FH in 27 (have triple Pool, will be up to triple Ars by then too)

  16. bozankrkic
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anything to change here or am I GTG? Is bench order correct?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Tierney
    Foden Bruno Jota Gray Bowen
    King Watkins

    DDG Antonio Coufal Livra*

    1FT, 2.6m ITB

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      personally would play Antonio over Gray as Utd defence a mess still - that said I understand the reticence to doube WH attack in that game

  17. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Captain De Bruyne or a player I have never seen before?

    A) Joao Pedro (NOR, bur)
    B) KDB (sou)

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kdb mate

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years

  21. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years

    Bruno to KDB worth a free transfer?

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      hard to say now Bruno found form and fixtures remain encouraging

      own other city mid?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nope. Think Bruno will soon be back to blanking with ronaldo back.

        Thought he was quite deep until Ronaldo got subbed although he did bag an assist with him on the oitch

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. Manutd dgw on the cards.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If Royal doesn't play I'll surely get a 0... but King is tempting me

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah A is safer. Anything to suggest Royal wouldn't play? Think King has higher ceiling this week so still C

    2. Nobodinho
      • 11 Years
