DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 29 REACTION

FPL review: Maddison's elite numbers, Spurs' injury woes 1

We now have confirmation of Double Gameweek 29 and it’s a big one as expected, with 12 teams set to play twice.

Away matches for Liverpool against Man City and Chelsea are far from straightforward, but more appealing doubles await Leicester and Nott’m Forest.

And what about Brighton and Brentford, who could now potentially face two ‘doubles’ and two ‘blanks’ in the next five rounds?

What all of this does mean, however, is that chip planning will become more important than ever in the coming days and weeks, with Free Hit deployment set to pick up in Blank Gameweek 28 and Double Gameweek 29, depending on your strategy.

For a rundown of the latest Blank Gameweek 28 permutations, see below.

    So our chip strategies are highly dependent on Leeds’ result against Fulham in the cup. What a funny game we play

    Hi.

    Still have TC remaining after mistakenly giving up too early on a mini-league which I've since made a comeback in.

    When are the best opportunities to use it? Just 25 and 37, right? Saka TC this week?

    Looks like no matter what way you cut it, you'll have an absolute write-off of a GW at some point from here until the end the way things have fallen...

    Try make sure it's in BGW28 or BGW32, remember you can get a green arrow every GW!

    Haaland Kane
    (Ward Trippier Rashford Toney)

    2FT. Which is the better option?

    (A) A 1-fixture defender/Brighton defender & Salah for KDB & Shaw ( no standout double-fixture defender so it is either a 1-fixture defender or maybe even a Brighton defender, giving me 10 players for e week since I have zero Brighton players in my squad now)
    (B) Gakpo & TAA for KDB & Shaw
    Personally prefer Option B since it gives me much more budget to upgrade my squad for future weeks n do not really think it is worth spending so much money on Salah. The combined points total of Gakpo & TAA for e week could easily exceed Salah too in my opinion.
    What do you all think?

    I'm looking at

    10 players for a hit in dgw25

    10 players for a hit dgw28

    Free hit 29. Wildcard 33 bb 34

    Only issue is mostly ignoring Brighton in dgw27. But can live with that
