Scouting The Doubles

Who is the best Liverpool option alongside Salah and Alexander-Arnold for FPL Double Gameweek 29?

We’ve got yet another Double Gameweek of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) to contend with as we get set for the penultimate round of matches before the March international break.

With there not being a stand-out chip strategy for Gameweek 29 (see the results of our sidebar poll), we’ve eschewed the usual ‘Free Hit/Wildcard’ approach and are instead bringing you a club-by-club guide to the half-dozen teams who have two fixtures.

Unlike the two north London clubs, all four of the other sides involved – including Liverpool – then blank in Gameweek 30, so caution is advised unless you are using a Free Hit in one of the next two Gameweeks.

All stats taken from this article are from our Premium Members Area, where there is still a seven-day free trial.

THE OUTLOOK

Liverpool return to Premier League action in Double Gameweek 29 when they visit Brighton and Hove Albion and Arsenal, as they aim to keep the pressure on table-toppers Manchester City.

That’s followed by a Gameweek 30 blank – which coincides with their FA Cup quarter-final against Nottingham Forest – and the March international break.

In theory, that should keep rotation to a minimum across their next two Premier League matches.

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

Top scorers throughout the Premier League, their defence has also kept five clean sheets from their last seven outings.

Now, the question for most FPL managers isn’t whether they should buy Liverpool players, it’s who should be their third asset alongside Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.5m).

    RMWCT

    Schmeichel - Pickford
    TAA - Rudiger - Doherty - White - Holgate
    Salah - Saka - Raphinha - Barnes - Kulusevski
    Kane - Lacazette - Daka

    10 dgwers + Raphinha (Nor) in 29. 11 players in 30. FH 33 BB 36 is the plan.

    Thoughts? 🙂

      If you don’t BB this week I’m skeptical to Pickford and Holgate

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

      One keeper will be enough
      Maybe Ramsdale best and replace white

  3. el polako

    2 years, 1 month ago

    Still got Antoni, there I admitted to it.

    Lost 0.4m in value and no end of points, now may aswell keep him for gw 31-33 games.

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      And if you keep him for the whole season, you will get a promo offer to get Antonio at 6.9 from the start of the season

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        He he

        I know it's bad, but just a couple aof weeks ago my frontline was King, CR7 and Antonio - got rid of first 2 and just can't find suitable replacement worth a hit to get rid of Hammers forward.

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Understood took me a lot of courage to drop Antonio too back in gw22 or gw23, owned him all season

  4. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Saiss/Coutinho-> Robbo/Kulu for -8 a bit much or worth it?

    1. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Bit much imo

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

      not worth it imo, especially if you are not FHing next week

    3. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth it

      • 11 Years

      1. Lignja
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Did not think of it tbh, will consider it, thanks, tho probably not worth go 2 times -4

  6. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Should I take a hit for a 3rd Pool or Arsenal player?

    Dubravka
    TAA - Doherty - White - Rudiger
    Salah (c) - Saka - Coutinho - Raphina
    Kane - Wood

    Schmeichel - Jimenez - Ramsey - Kilman

    1.6 ITB

    1. Lignja
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Who would you sell or bench?

      1. Lignja
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Ramsey to Martineli if posable and bench i dont know who, wood i gues

  7. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve sat through both Leeds games with Raph captain. I saw nothing to say i should keep. So tempted to sell for Kulusevski for -4. Is is daft? Leeds are just woeful and have been for ages

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Or Digne/Saiss > Doherty -4 and keep raph

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

      I was thinking same but if he is to get back to scoring ways surely Norwich is the team he can do it against?

      Iv kept him plus Havertz and took a hit instead to do Wilock - Kulu..

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah nice. I can’t afford Ramsey > Kuli as i did James > Robbo. Might just avoid hits and roll with just Son..

    3. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I captained Raph in their previous double game week. There was absolutely no way I was gonna make the same mistake.

      Easy sell for Kulusevski if you don’t care about Raph getting a return, crucially, it’s not as if he ever gets double digit figure so shouldn’t be a major blow if at all

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        & leeds suck

    4. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      He looked like a beaten man last night, I think its perfectly fine to sell.

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

      Go for it

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

    Chasing 35 pts lead. He got both capt calls correct last two wks and passed me. (Kane/James) that what made the difference.

    Iv tripled up on Spurs (-4)

    Shiuld I go Kane capt? As it stands he dont have any Spurs, my guess is he brings Son in.

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone is bringing Kane in now regardless of structure, some are selling Son to get Kane

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

        I'm not

  9. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Suggestions here guys, need to get rid of DCL but maybe take a hit to get ESR/Bowen out too? 1 FT 1.1 ITB

    other option would be cancelo + ESR to Doherty + Mahrez for -4pts??

    Rams Bach

  10. Philosopher's Stones

    Loose one for Kulu

    A: Coutinho
    B: Bowen

    FH in 30

    1. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B obviously

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

        This

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

      B

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Just seen Moyes' comments. Very vague but doesn't sound very positive. Yeah, makes losing B easy. Cheers lads.

  11. abaalan
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    For triple captain.
    City will have a double later on (with bri I believe)?
    Liv also likely to have more doubles

    Do we know when these doubles are likely to be...gw36?
    Triple c on Salah this week or wait for a later opportunity (have 1fh left too)

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

      Possibly GW36

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      If city has the league wrapped by then, you may have to hope your TC on someone off form like Grealish or a less explosive option like Bernardo. If city goes all in on those weeks, you may have to pick the right midfielder out of a choice of 6/7

  12. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Would you BB this bench?

    Dubravka / Coady / Broja / Digne

    1. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No

  13. sentz05
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    TC Salah or BB Foster Jimenez Borja and Kilman

    1. FPL Emu
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      TC by a landslide

    2. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      TC

    3. Grand Thibauto
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Even if you don't TC, I would never BB that

  14. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Morning

    Would you stick with this team or take a hit to get Saka/Kulu? And if so, for who?

    Dubravka
    TAA - Rudi - VVD
    Salah - Son - Coutinho - JWP - Raph
    Broja - Jimenez

    Mendy / Pukki - Coady - Bednarek

    1. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Get Saka, you Already have Son

    2. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Jwp & Raph > Saka & Kulu even if fh in 30

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers both

  15. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    RAN an option on wildcard now? Surely Lage sticks with him and drops the Marcal project?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I would you get any wolves defender on a wildcard

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Would not*

        1. FPL Emu
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Need a cheap defender for GW30. Already have White.

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

      He was ill for the first game.

  16. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Morning. Should I do both James, Watkins to Laca, Doherty for - 4 or just one of those for free is enough?
    Since I have Saka, i would do James>Doherty first
    FHing in 30

  17. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Now that i think back, it is only me that should be blamed for my dismal performance in the GW28. even on paper Villa and Chelsea had the 2 best DGW and I ignored both. Only had Rudiger from the 2 teams. And rightly so, I have been punished badly. Surely Coutinho, Havertz,Cash etc should have been considered at the least. 200k position worse, only now I am realizing.

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

      I was on Havertz captain till last day when I read the Chelsea article here. Pretty sure I'm not reading the article again and go with my gut feeling 😀

      1. Original Sin
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        At least you had Havertz, that's something

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Well, it was a great oppurtunity to load on those players if you could, as they were a little bit ignored, but on the other hand you couldn't have expected results like Villa scoring 7 goals and not conceding a single one or Havertz getting 26 points. That was a small mistake with a very bad outcome, I wouldn't be too harsh to yourself.

      1. Original Sin
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yes many did go with the gut feelings, I seriously have to stop playing it safe as there is no point right now. Playing it safe won't get me anywhere, not enough GWs to catch up. Going with TAA(C) this week.

  18. sentz05
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    TC Kane or Salah?

    1. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Kane I think

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

        Agree

    2. el polako

      What are your thoughts ?

      1. sentz05
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I’m an Arsenal fan and I don’t want to want Salah to score against us

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          You rather keep your fingers crossed for a Spurs poster boy captain ?

    3. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Kane

    4. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      The best player in the game - Salah. Although Kane's good too.

  19. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed... How is this team looking for DGW 29? James and Cancelo are most likely out but I do have Digne and Dennis on the bench. Any additional transfer will require a hit.

    1) Do not take any more hits
    2) James -> Doherty

    Ramsdale*
    TAA* Cancelo James Tierney*
    (S)alah* Raphinha Coutinho Havertz Saka*
    Kane*

    Foster Digne Dennis Gelhardt

  20. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Which transfers are worth doing for -4?

    A. James / Coutinho >> Robbo / Kulusevski
    B. James / Raph >> Doherty / Kulusevski

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

      B for GW 30 also

    3. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Thumbs up to any move to get rid of Raph. I ignored him for the whole season, only to bring in for this DGW and can't wait to get rid of him ASAP.

  21. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Which moves would you do?

    (Kane for -8 VS Kulu, doherty for -4)

    A) Rodrigo + Coutinho + Jimenez -> Kane + 4.4 mid (D Sanchez)+ Gelhardt (-8)

    B) Coutinho + Digne -> Kulu + Doherty (-4)

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

      B

    2. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Wow that's a tough one...Prob B because A will leave you with a rather weak squad.

    3. XX SMICER XX
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B but depends on your chip strategy

    4. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys, would you rather sell Rafinha in place of Coutinho?

    5. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Cout, see it 1/2 GWs, I agree that his fixtures are a bit on the tough side, but he has been very good.

    2. Bunk Moreland

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Managed with -4 James to Doherty, hope 8 DGW players are enough, and fielding 11 next week for free.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        And proud to survive the LMS cut with 36 points ont the bench...

  23. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this?

    Havertz, James & Jimenez to Kane, Gordon & Doherty for -8?

    1. FPL Emu
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't Havertz a keeper on this form?

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I think Lukaku starts this weekend then there's a blank!

  26. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Have 2FT's till gw30 but want to make 5 transfers...how many of these are worth it? can do all 5 transfers (-12)

    A: James >> Robbo...will play either Saiss/Digne if i dont do this move
    B: Kilman >> Doherty
    C: Jwp >> Kulu/Barnes depending on whether i do the move in 29 or 30
    D: Son >> Kulu/Barnes depending on whether i do the move in 29 or 30
    E: Jimmy >> Kane

    I can ABC now and then do DE i.e. (Son/Jimmy >> Barnes/Kane (-4)) in 30 but taking out 2 starting players in gw30 doesn't make sense

  27. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I've got triple Spurs but not the players that are getting right now. Hope I won't be punished by the variance!

  28. Bunk Moreland
    • 8 Years

    Yeah, exactly!

  29. jose1

    2 years, 1 month ago

    Trying to close the distance by 30-40 points on my mini league. Is it too risky going Martinelli over Saka this week to make ground or is this not the time to do it?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      It could pay off, but I would stick with Saka

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      You dont have to bet against the most in-form players with doubles. Find small edges like having both Saka & Martinelli when rival only has Saka

  30. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Would you:

    A) Weghorst + KDB > Saka + Kane (-4)
    B) Weghorst + KDB + Moura > Saka + Kane + Coutinho (-8)

    Thanks DZ
