Scouting The Doubles

The best Spurs players for FPL Double Gameweek 29 and beyond

As if you hadn’t heard already, six top-flight teams will play twice in Double Gameweek 29, after three postponed Premier League fixtures were rescheduled for mid-March.

Following our look at Arsenal, attention now turns to North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, in this, the second instalment of a four-part Scouting the Doubles.

Notably, in addition to their ‘double’, the Lilywhites also have a guaranteed fixture in Gameweek 30, making their assets more appealing for those attempting to negotiate the blank without a Free Hit.

THE OUTLOOK

Sizeable Double Gameweek 22 a possibility after FA Cup replays scrapped

Tottenham Hotspur’s unexpected elimination from the FA Cup means that Antonio Conte’s side can not only offer us players who ‘double’ in Gameweek 29, but also assets who are unaffected by the blanks in Gameweek 30.

For those looking further ahead, Spurs will also have another Double Gameweek to come between now and the end of the season.

And the remaining fixtures themselves are very decent, with eight of their last 12 games of 2021/22 against teams currently ranked 11th or below in the Premier League table.

Spurs’ performances have been a bit Jekyll-and-Hyde in 2022, with five wins and four defeats in the Premier League since the turn of the year (see below). However, they have improved of late, with back-to-back 5-0 and 4-0 wins against Everton and Leeds United respectively.

  • Tottenham Hotspur 5-0 Everton
  • Leeds United 0-4 Tottenham Hotspur
  • Burnley 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur
  • Manchester City 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur
  • Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
  • Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 Southampton
  • Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur
  • Leicester City 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur
  • Watford 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Now, they face a Manchester United outfit whose defensive deficiencies were badly exposed in Sunday’s derby, plus a Brighton and Hove Albion side who have conceded nine goals in their last four league matches.

      Marti

      Martinelli

    3. BUZZBOMB

      Interesting. More explosive for sure but was worried about nailedness. Looked v good at weekend tho, I agree. Cheers chaps.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2 years, 21 days ago

      Laca and Saka.

      Wouldn't go for either of those.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 21 days ago

        Looks like more of a budget issue.. if so then Martinelli.. Think I may have to go for him next week due to budget

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 21 days ago

          I'd agree Laca and Saka despite budget issues.

          I'd find cuts elsewhere. There's no point coming to the party with the wrong players. May as well not show up in the first place.

    Hello, i should know this but..

      No, 1FT only.

    1. NorCal Villan

      Had he hit the crossbar, would that be a perfect anti-hat trick? Perfect Mbeumo?

    2. Indpush
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      Same here too. Haha, love it.68 points from first day. Subbing out Salah, Nianzou, gives me Haller, Capoue Ederson, Zyech, Danjuma and Cancelo to go

  8. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Attaboy Sane

  9. nerd_is_the_werd

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      A lot of people I imagine

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      Lewa for sure, Sane less I suppose

    3. Indpush
      • 6 Years

    Chances of Emerson Royale shifting Matt Doherty from Spurs team?

  13. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Serious block Vidal!

  14. BUZZBOMB
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    I know its like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic but if you were on FH, which first sub: Livramento (WAT) or Holgate (WOL) (NEW)?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      Holgate, but would pick a non Everton player

      1. BUZZBOMB
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 21 days ago

        Maxxed out on Liv, Spu and Ars. Already got Dubravka and dont fancy Bri this week. Is there a 4.8 SGW alternative? Thanks tho.

  15. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years

    Doherty has only started two in a row. Where does this idea he is nailed short term come from?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      His performance

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      Played two in a row & destroyed the opponent’s, with huge scores.

      Why change a winning formula?

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      Stephen Kenny told Conte to give him a runout 😉

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      MOM

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Competition is Emerson

    6. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      more importantly, where does the term nailed come from?

      he won't start every game but he's in form so likely to be at the forefront of Conte's selection

  16. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Thoughts on Liverpool captain this week? I know you can't compare Inter to Arsenal/Brighton but lots of games recently in various comps, might be catching up to them.
    Kane/Son offer decent alternatives

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      I'm going Kane.

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 21 days ago

        probably would too if I owned. Son owner here

    2. El Presidente

      Salah tonight was a tourist

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 21 days ago

        400 mins without an open play goal now. He's due.....

        He does have 10 GI in 9 games vs Brighton
        12 in 12 vs Arsenal

        1. El Presidente
          • 4 Years

          Indeed

          Yup, he just said, "I hit the post twice. It's ok - maybe in the next game I will score three." Oh, well..

    Evening all!! Anyone know how long Amartey will keep his place?? Will he keep it for Gameweek 30?? Could be a useful make weight for me to get Kane in this week if he looks like he’ll play in30

    1. Scholes Out For Summer

          Rogers said he would get him some games in the next "few" weeks. Sounds iffy for Amerty playing BGW30.

    TC or BB this week?

    Foster Kilman Jimi Broja

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      Wouldn't TC any of them

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 21 days ago

        Probably would BB them either 😉

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 21 days ago

          Wouldn't! Damn autocorrect

  21. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How did Salah look tonight? I could catch the game.

  22. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Salah is very due this double after tonight

    What are the expectations on Chelsea rotation in GW29?

    I've got James, Rudiger & Havetrz...........but thinking, as much as I don't want to, it perhaps makes sense to offload one or two of them for GW29 doublers who also play in GW30. And get them back in later.

    Just not sure if to do or, if I do, then who gets chopped.

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      Havertz if I had to pick. Plenty options in midfield

  24. Fuddled FC
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Play

    a) Doherty *(dgw)
    b) James
    c) BB with Foster Broja Ramsey

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      A

  25. banskt
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Salah: ""I hit the post twice. It's ok - maybe in the next game I will score three." No point thinking about the captain choice any more.

  26. abaalan
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Will Liv have more doubles for Salah TC or just use this week?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      KDB may have a good DGW to come

      1. European Bob
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 21 days ago

        Issue is it's probably 36 when I'm likely to free hit

  27. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Ramsdale (Sa)
    Doherty Rudiger Trent Robbo (Digne)
    Son Coutinho Salah Raphinha (Maddison)
    Broja Weghorst (Dennis)

    Plan is;
    Salah/Weghorst to Kane/Martinelli for 30 no chips left.

    Son straight back to Salah 31.. Leaves me Kane/Salah Captaincy options going forward

    Thoughts?

  28. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Would you do this for a hit?

    Thiago Digne Adams > Matip Doherty Laca

    Adding 3 doublers for 29 and a player for 30 (not FH)

  29. Viper
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    A. Go for Robertson. Play with 8 in 30.

    B. Go for Doherty. Leaves funds for Adams -> Lacazette in 30 so I'll play with 10

  30. DrNinjamonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 21 days ago

    Not using FH in GW30 - hold Bowen or are people ditching because of something else?

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 21 days ago

      Bowen to Saka/Kulu has been popular for DGW29.
