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.

    A. Doherty (mnu, bri, WHM, avl) + Lacazette (avl)

    B. Robertson (bri, ars, WAT)

    Looks a no brainer like that really doesn't it?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

  2. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 1 month ago

    A) Ramsey to Kulusevski...but then not adding pkayer who plays gw30
    B) Havertz to Kulu, but Havertz has Newcastle
    C) Save and add 2 or 3 players next week (for Wood and Schar, maybe Havertz)

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Forgot to add that Im playing BB so have to play Ramsey if I keep.

      1. Karhumies
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        A for BB, also improves quality on 30. Then on 30 Schär into someone who plays, hoping for cheap CS points. LEI def?

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      C

  3. klopptimusprime

    Is it worth taking -12 over the next 2 weeks to field 9 in GW30
    or FH

    Both plans looking to get in Kane/Kulu.

    Still have WC, FH2, BB

    1. Brewstercat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Perhaps worth using FH in 30? You won't have to do -12 plus you'll get more points from the FH than your normal team, so you're saving at least 25 points probably

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        that's what I'm thinking, also I wouldn't lose value on Cancelo who I'd need to hit out

  4. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Those with no Kane, what’s your plan?

    1. Going without
    2. Taking hits, how many
    3. Going with Doherty or Kulusevski

    ??

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

      1 and getting him 30

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        How you working him?

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

          Salah Adams > Kane Barnes 30, Son > Salah 31

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Like it, makes me think going without in 29 is sensible rather than taking -8 or -12

          2. OptimusBlack
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Good thinking

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

      I'm taking hits. I'd need them to fill out my team in GW 30 anyway, so I'm just taking them sooner.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        That’s what I’m thinking

        What moves you making?

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

          Bruno, Weghorst, Cucu >>>> Kulu, Kane, Doherty

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

        I'm looking at -8

    3. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I am going without Kane, because I have to restructure my team for the funds. I will buy him in on FH in GW30 and reassess in GW31.

    4. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1

  5. Karhumies
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Dubravka (Ramsdale)
    TAA, Dier, Rudiger (James, Kilman)
    Salah C, Saka, Kulu, Raph, Coutinho
    Kane, Laca (4.4)
    1FT, 0.0ITB
    No chip 30

    A) Rudiger to Matip on FT for the double
    B) Save FT
    C) Something else?

    Thinking about A into save FT on 30, then on 31 downgrade Coutinho to get Cancelo in.

  6. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years

    After 4 full days of training will Alonso and Azpi come straight in for Saul and James?

    1. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Azpi for Newcastle

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

    I'm getting excited about Spurs!

    Bruno, Weghorst, Cucu >>>> Kulu, Kane, Doherty for -8?

    Will it pay off?

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs are DGW29 players, so 2 extra matches (Cucu technically has DGW) gives you 2x2 = 4 points back for showing up and playing 60+ mins each. If no FH on 30, you gain further 3 extra matches, so 4 + 6 = 10 points gained.

      10-8 already pays off 2 points.

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

        wasted my free hit a couple weeks ago so yeah...your validation is very much appreciated.

      I’ve just looked at this same
      Move, but with Bednarek!! Very tempting

      1. OptimusBlack

          • 6 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Very close to it mate!! Just gotta decide the best way to
          Kane in first

          1. OptimusBlack
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Kane get him GW 30 and sell Salah and get Salah Back GW 31

    Not FHing in GW30:

    Cancelo, Coutinho & Jimi > Doherty, Kulu & Kane

    Worth a -8?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Losing Cancelo and 2 players that play in a BGW to get 3 BGW players for -8, that's hefty. Not saying it won't work but not for me

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      tempting

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      can u leave the coutinho to kulu move and afford the other 2 ?

  10. Viper
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Digne, Son & Jimenez -> Robertson, Kulusevski & Kane (-8)?

    Worth it or just go for Doherty now seen as I'm not free hitting in 30?

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

      I would not want to sell Son

  11. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Do I take a hit to do Coutinho to Kulusevski or this is good enough?

    Ramsdale

    1FT, 0.2itb

    To prep for DGW29 and BGW30:

    Rudiger Son Jimenez >> Doherty Saka Kane (-8)

    Will give 7 DGW and 10 BGW players...

    Thoughts ?

  13. SAY MY NAME
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Foden and Maupay > Kane and Gordon ?

    this is for -8 as already did bowen to martinelli, but as i'm fed up with foden/maupay i think i might take the hit? thoughts?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Anything that involves Maupay -> Kane can't be bad 🙂

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        my thoughts exactly 😀

  14. Viper
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale Foster

    TAA Robertson Digne Kilman Coady

    Salah Saka Raphinha Coutinho Son

    Jimenez Adams Broja

    Gw29: Digne & Coutinho -> Robertson & Kulusevski (-4)

    Gw30: Salah & Adams -> Martinelli/Barnes & Kane (-4)

    Gw31: Son -> Salah (if he starts, may get early team news)

    Too much messing about?

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Jimenez stands out as the issue, i'd find a way to get him to Kane, as for the transfers, probably a bit too many plans when so much can change in a short time, and some of the players you plan to sell could outscore the ones you plan to bring in, even if they have single gws (ie they're good players , no need to make luxury transfers, just see what looks good at start of each gameweek, and i wouldn't sell Salah in any week fwiw, can still score against city)

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers for the reply. I'm starting to get the no Kane fear 😀

        1. SAY MY NAME
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          no worries - don't know how much you have ITB, but could you do similar move to me, Coutinho+Jimi to Kane and Gordon or not enough cash?

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            That's potentially a very good shout!!

            I can actually afford Ramsey aswell (covers me in 30)

            1. SAY MY NAME
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 1 month ago

              i think it's worth consideration - Jimi and Wolves haven't been scoring many at all and now Jimi's place doesn't even look secure, and Ramsey ''could'' cover Coutinho, but yeah Kane+Ramsey sounds a whole lot better than Jimi+Coutinho

  15. GC123
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Need a £4.4m defender with a game GW30 to get Son in. Any advice appreciated. Amartey threatened by Evans / Fofana. Thomas (Leicester), Ait-Nouri (Wolves) or A N Other?

    1. Froes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      ben davies

      1. GC123
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Did look at Bavies but I have Kane & Son and keeping an option to do Ward-Prowse to Kulu in GW30 so need to keep a Spurs space free

        1. Froes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          look at arsenal , tomyasu in injured

          1. Froes
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            I think that Cedric is playing

            1. GC123
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 1 month ago

              Thanks Froes. Will do. Slight concern over whether he keeps his place for the 2nd of Arsenal’s DGW29 and then BGW30. Thanks for the advice buddy, much appreciated

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Ben White at 4.5 too expensive?

      1. GC123
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah unfortunately. By £0.1m! Annoying

        1. NorCal Villan
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Hate it when that happens

    3. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rob Thomas may be worth a shout. Leicester starting to keep clean sheets again.

  16. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Digne + Ramsey to Armatey + Kulu -4pts worth it?

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good

  17. Froes
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    jota or Diaz ?

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      neither atm

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Would prefer Robbo. Assuming you have Salah and TAA.

      1. Froes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I know but my defense is stacked already
        Rudiger/taa /Ait Nouri/ livramento / Doherty

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      imo it's Salah + TAA + Robbo/Mane/vvd

      1. Froes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        to be honest I haven't put Doherty in , but he is such a threat , I could put
        robbo and kulusevski
        is it better than
        Doherty and jota ?

        1. SAY MY NAME
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          i think Jota is a rotation risk with Diaz there now, Kulu could be rotated with Moura but seems to be the favourite to play, so i would go with Kulu plus Robbo

        2. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Both good options imho. I'd only just favour the former.

        3. banskt
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, I would think Robertson + Kulusevski is better than Doherty + Jota.
          Robertson better than Doherty. (more playing time)
          Kulusevski better than Jota. (more playing time)

  18. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    KWP to Doherty worth a hit? (No FH in 30)

    Dubravka
    TAA James KWP Saiss
    Salah Son Saka Raphinha
    Kane Broja

    Sa Hwang Ramsey Digne

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      i'd say yes, but always a risk he gets rotated

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Risky, quite risky. But could be rewarding.

  19. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsey to Martinelli For a-4 worth doing? Bought Saka on the free.

    1. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      If Martineli starts both matches, then the hit should pay off. I think.

  20. More Cowbell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Need to start 1 of these three:
    Broja
    Jimi
    Livra

    Who you starting?

    1. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Broja vs Watford.

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years

      broja

  21. banskt

    2 years, 1 month ago

    With so many Kane configurations floating around, what do you think about these two:

    a) Son + 4.4m ➜ Kane + Gordon (-8)
    b) Fraser ➜ Kulusevski (-4)

    I will probably use FH in GW30.

    8 is a lot of points to lose, but Gordon will have DGW and a better bench than 4.4m striker. Will arrange for funds and buy Kulusevski in GW31. Statistically, Son has a higher chance to get more points than Kane when Spurs scores a lot. But, this year we are seeing Kane getting more points. Time to switch to Kane? Or just ride out GW29 with Fraser > Kulusevski (-4)? I bought Fraser for the two doubles, but now it looks like Kulusevski could score 4 more than Fraser in 29.

        Thanks. Will have to watch the Newcastle game before final decision but that's what I am thinking as well.

  22. Scots Gooner

    2 years, 1 month ago

    Bowen / Ramsey/ KWP -> Saka / Kulusevski / White for -8?

    Don’t really like the hit, but all the ins play double, plus GW30, so possibly worthwhile?

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      probably worth it if not FH in GW30

  23. Alcapaul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    A) Digne, Watkins and Jimenez to Doherty, Kane and Richardson (cheap bench fodder, already used BB) -8
    B) Ait Nouri, Son, Watkins, Jimenez to Doherty, Kulusevski, Kane and Lacazette -12

  24. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Bowen & Cout to Saka & Kulu -4?

    Not FHing 30.

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Not a bad move. However, I would do Coutinho to Saka for free and reconsider selling Bowen.

      Bowen / Coutinho / Saka / Kulu all are playing in GW30. but Bowen is a doubt although West Ham official website said that the injury is not critical and he will back soon (no specified timeline). May be one or two games? All this to say that Bowen might also play in 30, but he is returning from an injury. He is central to the West Ham team and everything will go through Bowen.

        Thanks for the response. Do I really need Bowen? Kulu/Saka could get just as many points? Also frees up cash to get Vardy by GW31.

        Current team
        Ramsdale
        TAA Robbo Cancelo James
        Salah(C) Son Bowen Cout
        Maupay Broja
        Bench: Sanchez Jimi Ramsey Kilman

          i'd have either saka or kulu over Bowen atm, doubles and play gw30 and not injured

          If you don't want Bowen in the long term, then of course, its a good move.

      B i think, although Mane is a good differential and saves you 4 points, thinking about it honestly i'm not sure which is better

    Have the price rise predictions been acute last few weeks with so many FH/WC being played? Normally sewers the results ... basically is it likely Saka don't rise?

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      hard to know, normally much fewer rises/falls than predicted, but also a few changes that were nowhere near predicted rise/fall threshold

        Hmmm I'll probably wait it out then, ideally want to get the Thursday games out the way before making any moves, bound to get it wrong whatever I do tbh

        Cheers.

          you're welcome - yeah i want to see the Thursday games first, but i have 0.1 spare for my planned moves, and all the players going in+out are close to rises and falls, so i might have to move early and pray for the best 😀

      they have been slightly off the last couple weeks with all the chips

    Is everyone asking transfer questions making moves tonight ?

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      thinking about it as 0.1 spare to do the moves, risky but priced out otherwise if there are any changes

      Still a lot of football to be played between now & deadline! A lot can change

      I will make the move for Kulusevski. Budget is tight and I will take the risk.

      Raphinha or Coutinho to Saka

    If you were bringing in a 5th Midfielder at this stage, would you go Gordon or Ramsey? (Not free hitting in 30)

    1. fish&chips

      Ramsey I guess because he has the fixture in 30 and villa are a better team. But Gordon may be useful later with so many double for Everton, particularly if you still have the BB

  30. fish&chips
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ramsdale*
    TAA*, Tierney*, James
    Salah*, kulu*, havertz, Raphinha
    Kane*, wood* broja

    Dubravka*, saiss, ramsey, alonso

    A) Alonso -> Doherty*
    B) Alonso & havertz -> Robertson & saka*
    C) Saiss, alonso & havertz -> Doherty*, saka* & Robertson (-8)

    No FH in 30

    Exact money for B so need to do it now in case of saka rise
