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.

    Just heard about a potential Utd double game week from Rangnicks comments. I was all set on selling Ronaldo. This guy has been a trap since I got him in for GW14

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

      When would that be? So ready to get rid of CR7 as well...

        "Looks like Rangnick might've accidentally leaked a DGW25.

        They face Southampton at home in GW25, but Brighton (H) hasn't been officially rescheduled yet. Would be two home games in the double."

  4. grennans2
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best option here?

    A) Mount > Sterling
    B) Alonso > Laporte (already have Cancelo)
    C) Roll FT

    1. smix
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Roll FT

    2. Warby84

      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

  5. Dynamic Duos

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Gray and DCL to King and Foden-4?

  6. FPLShaqiri
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What should I expect from Brownhill this week? Seems like he's lost his spot, but I'm not sure why.

  7. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thought the answer was obvious, but would be good to check.
    Pick one to start this GW:

    a) Mount
    b) Bowen

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

      B

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years

      B

    3. smix

      B

    4. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years

      Thought so, thanks!

  8. Henning
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any suggestions

    1. Mount and Ronaldo out for KDB and Watkins-4
    2. As above and Gray out for Raphinha for -8

    de Gea Steele
    Tierny Cancelo TAA Dawson Dalot
    Gray Jota Bowen Bernardo Mount
    Ronaldo Antonio Dennis

    1. Big Mac 24
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

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

        Yes to -8?

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

      I would just do Gray to Raphinha unless you feel like capping KDB

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

        Thanx.

  9. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi.....thoughts on Antonio to King (c)?

    Gives me 5.7m as a salah kitty for next week

    Guess I need to keep Ronaldo as ralf has hinted at a dgw coming up in his presser....thanks

    Ramsdale (ddg)

    Foster

    3. golfboy

      Thank you!

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

      Liverpool are no stranger to a backlash from om a cup win, and Spurs hardly get anything for Chelsea. Would play Gallagher

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

        from chelsea

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

    Which option?

    A) Watkins > King
    B) Ronaldo > King
    C) Rudiger > Cathcart
    D) Livramento > Cathcart
    E) Save FT

    1. Pegboy
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      E

  13. smix
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Foster
    TAA Cancelo Alonso
    Jota Foden Mount Bowen
    Dennis (c) King Ronaldo
    DDG BSilva BJohnson* Livra*

    GTG? BJohnson to Lowton as back up defender of bank the FT ?

    1. smix
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      *or

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

      9/10 that team with potentially tired chelsea assets the only question marks. Do not think Mount to Raphinha would be a bad move

  14. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Guys no chance for a dgw 24?

  15. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Coutinho or Raphinha?

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

      Raph

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

      Rap

    3. Miniboss
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mulling over the same question. Only thing holding me back from Cout is his match fitness, however looks like he can deliver double digits in 20 mins so doesn't make it any easier.

      1. smix
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Doubt it will happen consistently unless he starts getting regular minutes

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

      Raph for now

  16. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Cancelo, Reguillon
    Bruno, Jota, Bowen, Gray
    Kane, Antonio, King (c)
    Sanchez, ESR, Dalot, Keane
    1ft, 0.7 itb

    Not sure what to do this week! Help, please?
    A) Bruno -> KdB
    B) ESR -> Raphinha (bench Gray)
    C) Antonio -> Dennis

    1. Ronnies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why sell ESR ?
      Great fixture.
      Should start.

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

        not sure about that. was terrible yesterday

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

      All good moves with the incoming players all having high point potential. Think Martinelli has passed ESR as a potential budget midfielder from arsenal

  17. gellinmagellan

    Foster (DDG)
    TAA White Cancelo (Coufal Livra)

    King DCL Antonio

    1 FT 1.5 ITB

    Please help:

    3. Anything else?

  18. Lilac Breasted Roller
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) Son to KDB, bench Bilva (solve later)
    B) Alonso to Robertson

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

  19. Ronnies

    3. Oles Brummser

      Guess you already have King as 3rd striker?

  20. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Got burned by King captain last GW, still want to do it this week..King captain or Jota?

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

      King

    2. Gooner97

      4 years, 1 month ago

      Redemption

  21. Test Eagles

    Who would you rather captain:

    1) TAA (cry)
    2) Cancelo (sot)

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      1

  22. Junks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I still have Salah.....

    Is it worth doing a -4 this week... Moura & Salah to Raph and Bruno as I'm going to WC after this game week so as it stands ill loose 0.1 in salah?

    Or just Moura to Raph and hold Salah?

    1. Supernintendo Chalmers
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      bruno owner and tempted to get KDB in for him and do raphinha in for Bernardo.

      I'd hold salah if I were you and get Raph, but surely for someone worse than Moura who's OOP

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

    Would you do Watkins > King?

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

      no

  24. RWB_1991
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Foster or Pope?

    1. AARON-1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Foster against goal shy Norwich and the blunt attack of Burnley. He doesn't face the youthful Arsenal attack.

  25. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do DCL to King for -4? Have Dennis already. Thanks.

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

      No

      1. Junks

        no

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Negative

      1. No_Mo_Salah?
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks all.

    In general, how're people finding this season?

    I'm really enjoying the utter chaos and unpredictability haha. First time playing again properly for a while and am finding it really refreshing.

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

      Same, best season ever so far

    2. AARON-1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like it. I like all the rearranged fixtures dropping in and the need to really look out for the latest information. It isn't fun when you have only 6 players because of postponements and your mini league rivals get 11 out, but it hopefully evens out.

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

      3 overall so can't complain:)

  28. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg or should Bilva or Mount be playing? 5.6 itb

    De gea
    Robbo Taa Cancelo Dias
    Raphinha Saka Jota
    Dennis (C) King Watkins

    Bachman Bilva Mount Livramento

    1. Supernintendo Chalmers
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      GTG

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

      Agree with your set up

  29. AARON-1
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I was half considering Bruno to KDB then KDB to Salah, but with Rangnick hinting United will double in gw25, I might not bother. Many predicting KDB will outscore doublers Dennis or King, but Saints drew 0-0 at Etihad so I'm not convinced they're going to get a mauling at home.

  30. Weeb Kakashi

    TAA Alonso Cancelo Dias
    Bruno Jota Bowen Gray

    Any Suggestions?

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

      Bachmann to Foster or Pope?

      I have the same gk duo and neither will probably start.
