Joe and Andy help Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers prepare for Double Gameweek 28 and beyond.
Gameweek 28 sees teams including Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton enjoy two fixtures. But following a lacklustre Double Gameweek for those who invested in Burnley assets this week, enthusiasm for the next round of matches may be muted.
Do FPL managers really want to buy into Wolves’ blunt attack or back a clean sheet for Villa’s shaky backline?
Perhaps Southampton assets could be the answer, as Joe and Andy look through the best doubling defenders, midfielders and attackers for Gameweek 28. Saints players certainly figure prominently on the latest tables from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area.
Chelsea look likely to play twice. too, depending on FA Cup results this week. Could their rearguard provide the solution to the Double Gameweek traps that await?
Players due a goal on Joe’s Goals Imminent table are also looked at, as are the worst defences and those single Gameweek stars that may be overlooked this weekend, especially for the captaincy.
Joe and Andy get their crystal ball out for some fixture frisking. This takes in not only the next three intriguing sets of blanks and doubles, but also the final eight rounds of fixtures.
Thomas Tuchel’s troops, Arsenal and Leicester City look key in the long term, according to their analysis.
Right on queue, Foxes marksman Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) marked his return to action during this latest episode to remind FPL managers of his points potential. His double-digit haul against Sean Dyche’s side will certainly turn heads.
Streamed live during the East Midlands side’s clash with Burnley on Tuesday 1 March, this episode also saw the occasional groan of disappointment from our Scoutcast pair. They, like many others, had loaded up on Clarets players for Double Gameweek 27. When will they learn?
In this packed show, which Andy managed to take part in despite having Covid, the Scoutcasters also reveal plans to Wildcard the community team, discuss their own transfer and captaincy plans, and answer the live chat crew’s quickfire questions.
