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.

    Any thoughts on this group everyone? Currently have 1FT and 1.8 itb

    Foster
    TAA Cancelo Emerson Coufal
    Bruno Jota Bowen Gray
    Watkins Dennis(C)

    DDG - Mitchell - Salah - Davis

    1. Davis >> King
    2. Emerson >> Laporte
    3. Gray >> Rap

    1. jai1212

      3. Gray >> Raphinha*

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      3, you don't need the money in King long term and adding Laporte leaves Coufal/Mitchell in the cold unless you want to play 4 back most weeks

  2. AzzaroMax99

    Who to captain here - Dennis or KDB?

    My squad

    DDG
    Taa Cancelo Nouri Alonso
    Kdb Jota Bowen Gray
    Dennis Watkins

    Steer Edouard Dalot Salah*

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dennis easy

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

      Dennis

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dennis

  3. MagicMessi
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ronaldo to King or Dennis or Joapedro for hit ?

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

      Could be a good move

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

    Bottomed
    FT:
    A. Silva to KDB
    B. Guita to Foster (Bachman is the other goalie)
    C. Both A and B for -4
    Thanks

  5. tim

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Doing Bilva to KDB

    Antonio for Joao Pedro and keep CR7

    Or

    CR7 to Joan Pedro and next week Mount to Salah?

    Cheers!

    1. Igz08
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m also quite on the fence as to selling Ronaldo ..

  6. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Foster
    Alonso Cancelo TAA
    Foden Mount Bowen Jota Gray
    King Ronaldo
    (DDG Watkins Coufal Livra)

    a) CR7 > Dennis
    b) Alonso > Laporte/Digne
    c) Mount & CR7 > KDB(c) & Dennis (-4)
    d) Roll FT

    1. Igz08
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one. I can’t decide what to do with Ron / KdB either 🙁

  7. Igz08
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would you guys recommend here?

    Foster
    Cancelo TAA Tierney
    Mad Gray Bilva Jota Bowen
    Ron King
    Sánchez Antonio Coufal Dalot

    A) Bernardo -> KdB
    B) Ronaldo -> Dennis
    C) both for a hit
    D) something else ?

    Was set on getting and captaining KdB, but the DGW is swaying me.. Ronaldo is a differential for me, plus has great fixtures - but selling him allows for both KdB and Salah

    1FT and 6.2 ITB

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

      A

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

      B

  8. SKENG
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can I get your feedback on below team? Got 1 FT and 1.3 ITB. Dennis needs to come in.

    Foster
    TAA Cancelo Tierney Alonso
    Foden Jota Bowen Mbeumo
    Ronaldo Antonio

    Ramsdale SON Williams Broja

    A) Broja > Dennis (c), bench Alonso
    B) Ronaldo > Dennis (c), get money for Mbeumo > Salah next week
    C) Ronaldo & Mbeumo > KDB & Dennis (c) -4 pts, get Salah for KDB next week
    D) smth else??

    1. Oles Brummser
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A or C. B is to early planning in a season that has no room for long time planning

  9. oi no professionals
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    ESR > Raphinha a good move?

    Then I’d need to bench either:
    A. Bowen
    B. Ronaldo
    C. Watkins
    D. Maddison

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

      C

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      probably wouldn't make the transfer this week then tbh, unless you badly want Raph

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

    So Man U are looking like having

    GW 23 - West Ham (H),
    GW24 - Burnley (a)
    GW25 - Southampton (H) and Brighton (H)
    GW26 - Leeds (a)
    GW27 - Watford (H)

    I might end up keeping Bruno and Ronaldo but pretty certain I'll be keeping one of them now

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

      Will you drop getting Salah back?

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

        I doubt it but I've not ruled it out. Liverpool might have a double in 26 and their fixtures are amazing as well. Will have to lose one of Man U guys to get him back in. Original plan was bruno and Ronaldo to Salah and Kane next gw

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

          Kane could maybe wait until 27 now and keep Ronaldo (would prefer to keep premium striker slot available as opposed to shifting cash into midfield)

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

      Yeah same here

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Tierney
    Jota Bowen Moura Gray
    Kane Dennis Antonio

    Gunn Lamptey Johnson Son

    Got 2FTs to use, Moura and Antonio to Raphinha and King makes sense right? Will leave enough itb for Jota to Salah next GW

    1. Boz
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds great

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        cheers

  12. FPL Mentor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    De Gea
    TAA Robbo Cancelo
    Jota KDB(vc) Raph Bowen
    Dennis(C) DCL King

    Gunnarsson / Gray / Keane / Johnson

    Good to go?

    What would you do here?

    a) BSilva to Sterling
    b) BSilva to Saka
    c) BSilva to Jota
    d) BSilva to Raph

    DDG
    AA, Cancelo, Rudiger

    Antonio, Dennis, Watkins

    Foster, Gallagher, Reguillon, Manquillo

    1. Max City

  16. Johan Queef
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which do I do for free?

    A) Targett -> Laporte

    Thanks!

  17. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Foster
    Trent Reg Keane
    Jota Bowen Gray Bruno
    Antonio Dennis DCL

    Ramsdale Johnson Livra Salah

    99.99% sure I'm rolling free transfer had captain on trent should I stay strong or go with Dennis?

    Cheers

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Roll and Dennis imo

  18. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bench 1

    A. Mount
    B. Antonio
    C. Gray

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

    So, just raising the warning flag (and also posting it so I can smugly refer back to it if it comes true...) but the rush into KDB heralds a potential prime FPL trap as Pep benches KDB and starts Gundo (who hasn't had many minutes recently)... 😉

  20. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Laca to King or roll? Have Dennis

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

      I'd roll, Arsenal have one of the best fixtures this week

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

      How long will you want to keep King after this DGW?

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

      I'd get King, if nothing else is pressing

  21. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play Foster or Sa?
    Foster is tempting with Norwich and Burnley who have lost Wood, but they've not kept a cleanie all season!

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Foster

      Same dilemma but I've gone B

    3. Futureform
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks both. In full knowledge there hasn't been a Watford clean sheet, I'll go B! Its worth a go with those fixtures!

  24. hogree

  27. Ron_Swanson

    Tierney

    1. ILionel99

      Bruno out for a man city MID if u could

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Already -4 so would be -8. Kind of keeping him in place for Salah was the plan.

  29. Boz
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kane to Dennis? Will enable me to do Martinelli to Salah next week

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

      Not the worst move

    2. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sounds good

  30. Max City
