The Complete Guide to FPL Double Gameweek 25 tips and advice

The first Double Gameweek of the season is upon us! Champions Manchester City, who broke all sorts of records last season, have two fixtures against struggling defences – this is the stuff of FPL dreams. So why aren’t we more excited?

The stampede to acquire their players hasn’t fully materialised in part because of their unexpected defeated to Newcastle in midweek. Many are now calling the Double Gameweek a trap, with Jealous Viper at a loss to explain City’s fall from grace.

Others, such as Geoff, are more circumspect:

I can’t help wondering if everyone saying ‘it’s a trap’ is actually the real trap..

Will Gameweek 25 end up being remembered as the ‘Double Bluff’ Gameweek?

Time will tell. The lack of enthusiasm for the Double Gameweek clubs – City and Everton – can be summarised as follows: rotation, form, and a blank in two Gameweeks.

Rotation is more of a concern for City players, the term ‘Peptation’ is familiar to all FPL managers. In his article entitled “Which Man City options will start both Double Gameweek 25 matches?”, David examines in detail how Pep has used his players this season. Recommended reading for all those still contemplating City assets.

And there are valid reasons for buying a City player – they are at the top of the predicted goals chart by some distance, with a total of 4.57 goals over the two fixtures, and are the standout option according to G-Whizz who brings us the latest DS stats, fixtures and clean sheet odds.

Choosing to focus on the positives, Pep Pig even makes the case for deploying the Triple Captain chip. He’s not alone – featured recently in a Meet the Manager interview, current Live HoF number 5 Aleksander Våge Nilsen is another committed to playing the TC chip.

On the subject of chips, MINUS FOUR dropped by to offer his thoughts. No, not on how to win at Baccarat in a Monte Carlo casino, this week the ‘James Bond of FPL’ was proposing a strategy for using the Free Hit chip in Gameweek 31. He certainly rises to meet a challenge.

Not one to be shaken or stirred, J0E was plugging his ever popular Goals Imminent table on both the Scoutcast and Captaincy video after it proved remarkably accurate in Gameweek 24 – predicting returns for Richarlison, Aubameyang, Barnes, Mitrovic, and even Rondón. This week two Everton players feature prominently along with a certain Chelsea talisman.

Everton are in danger of being overlooked despite offering a security of starts for the Double Gameweek. Richarlison and Sigurdsson are the two Evertonians who have underperformed recently and perhaps with good reason – as J0E points out, the statistics show why Richarlison is quite good but not that good. He’s had 10 shots in the box over the last four Gameweeks but only two of those have been on target. Sigurdsson is a more intriguing choice in J0E’s opinion, the Icelandic international has taken 11 shots over the same period, but four of those have been on target.

As David mentions, if you are willing to overlook the blank in Gameweek 27, the matches following the Double Gameweek are tempting fixtures against Watford and Cardiff. So signing an Everton player is more than just a one week move.

The Chelsea player in question is that well known scourge of FPL teams Eden Hazard. The Belgian has been up to his old tricks lately with only a single assist over the last five Gameweeks. Predictably he scored when it didn’t matter, in the League Cup semi-final against Spurs.

What are we to make of Chelsea’s recent malaise?

Sarri seems unwilling to change his tactics. The acquisition on loan of his former charge Gonzalo Higuain was intended to put another piece in place as he molds his squad to fit his ‘Sarri-ball’ approach.

A 4-0 defeat to Bournemouth came as a shock to all, prompting a 45 minute post-match inquest in the dressing room. It’s left FPL managers caught between a rock and a hard place – a depressing run of form, but up next an enticing home match against bottom-of-the-table Huddersfield. Legomané asked what next for your Chelsea assets?

This week’s Captain Sensible article takes a look at City’s Double Gameweek candidates and, given concerns about their players being rotated, possible single Gameweek captains. Will Hazard finally haul? Will Salah exploit West Ham’s defence as Wolves did in midweek?

The door on the January transfer window shut rather softly yesterday compared to its usual slam, as spending fell for the first time since 2012. Neale (aka Skonto Rigga) followed the deadline day action with news of all the confirmed transfers. As the latest signings were gradually added to FPL, rainy asked which of the new arrivals interested FFS managers?

Former Liverpool player Ryan Babel (£5.5m) hit the ground running at his new club Fulham, conjuring two assists against Brighton. Meanwhile David hopes new Leicester signing Youri Tielemans (£6.0m) can live up to his computer game potential, with Luke describing him as a beast in Football Manager.

The team news ahead of the weekend has been rounded-up by Neale, and separately by Rotation’s Alter Ego in a handy hot topic.

To complete the guide to the first Double Gameweek of the season, there’s a City differential to consider. Kevin De Bruyne (£9.7m) returned a total of 408 points in his previous two seasons, hampered by injury this season his overall ownership remains below 5%.

The Belgian could well be the differential needed to propel you up the leaderboard. Among the top 10,000 managers Sané and Richarlison are the two highly owned players, for those looking to consolidate their position.

COMMUNITY TOURNAMENTS

The semi-finals of the two FFS cup competitions will take place this Gameweek. The finals were due to take place in Gameweek 25 however the cup competitions were unable to be run in Gameweek 23 so the quarter-finals were pushed back a week. I apologise for giving you the wrong information last week.

In the first of the semi-finals in the FFS Cup Justmatt will take on Get It Inter Ya. Justmatt goes into the tie as the lower ranked manager at 41,115 with Get It Inter Ya an impressive 775th overall. However Justmatt may have an edge given that he has an extra Double Gameweek player in Richarlison. Both managers have two free transfers to use ahead of the deadline.

In the second semi-final Tibbles will take on Man-Chest-Heir F.C. Tibbles scored an impressive 70 points in his quarter-final victory over The Quiff, his decision to captain Aubameyang paying off handsomely. He has Double Gameweek players Sané, Richarlison, and Keane in place for his last four tie. Last week, Keane made Digne owners reflect on what might have been with a 9 point return against Huddersfield.

His opponent Man-Chest-Heir F.C. also owns Sané and Richarlison. Both managers have one free transfer to use ahead of the deadline.

In the semi-finals of the FFS Members Cup Jambo17 will take on AKÉ MEYER DANN U, and Jay # faces Eedee.  

Ranked at 515 overall, Jambo17 has two Double Gameweek players in Richarlison and Laporte. He has two free transfers to make changes to his side – will Hazard make way for a City midfielder? Will he match his opponent AKÉ MEYER DANN U who already has Sterling?

In addition to the England player AKÉ MEYER DANN U is another manager to own Richarlison, but he only has one free transfer left.

Eedee goes into his last four tie against Jay # as the higher ranked manager – currently 4,992 in the standings. They have the same Double Gameweek players in Sané and, you guessed it – Richarlison. However Eedee perhaps has a slight advantage with an extra free transfer, it looks like being a very close tie this one.

We await the result of the final of the FFS Manager Melee Community Tournament featuring American Dycho against The Godfather: Pardew. Last week Greyhead previewed all the action in a special article.

In TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing the safety score in Gameweek 24 was 35, this saw 83 managers eliminated meaning 686 survive out of the 4,614 managers to have taken part. The final will take place in Gameweek 37.

The lead has swapped again in our main FFS League with Miroslav Pujic regaining top spot from Matthieu Raoux. Miroslav brought in Aubameyang for Kane, having only sold the Arsenal man in Gameweek 23. The plan worked and contributed towards his 58 point total.

Miroslav moves up to second place overall although he is someway behind the currently FPL leader Finland’s Toni Haapanen. Toni has a 39 point lead but has played both his Triple Captain and his Free Hit chip, so maybe there’s an opportunity around the later blank and Double Gameweeks for Miroslav to bridge the gap. Miroslav still has all his chips available.

Sean Tobin remains the leader in the FFS Live Hall of Fame. A successful transfer of Deulofeu to Son helped him to 53 points and sees him move up to 12th overall. Sean featured in J0E’s Meet the Manager video last week.

A score of 45 points was enough for Tore Bjørheim to hold onto first place in the FFS Members League although the gap to second place has been cut slightly to 15 points. He remains 14th in the overall rankings.

David’s lead at the top of the FFS Mods & Cons is down to 7 points as Mark closed the gap. Mark’s decision to bring in Kolasinac ahead of Digne for the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold proving a good one.

Luke Aiello still occupies top spot in RedLightning’s Top 10k Any Season mini-league, although his advantage has been reduced to 12 points and he’s slipped to 89th in the overall standings.

Lesego Maforah made it five green arrows in five Gameweeks to extend his lead over Andrew Fu to 9 points at the top of RedLightning’s January to May League. Over that period he’s risen from 578k to 143k overall. He saved a transfer in Gameweek 24, so heading into the Double Gameweek he has two free transfers available with Aguero, Sané, and Richarlison already in his side.

    I think I am going to press the button on captain kun over Sané. Just can’t resist it

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER

      I've done the same

      Aguero TC v a depleted arsenal and a suspect Everton. It’s stuff we wouldn’t even question normally.

      It’s gotta be done.

      TC. DO IT

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Will he play against Everton though? Surely that's the real risk? You may end up with a single game triple cap.

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I mean maybe he won’t feature twice. But then there’s a chance you’ll be TC a SGW player later in the season anyway if waiting.

          There’s a chance he does play both, or at least 120 mins or so !

              Ederson
              Alonso AWB Doherty
              Sterling Pogba rich Salah
              Aguero rash jiminez

            It all feels so uncertain. So similar to the Kane double from last winter that ended in disaster for so many. Oh I don't know what to do.

            1. Richd
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah I dodged that New Years one as I overslept the deadline.

              Tbh I think it’s a overrated chip so not gonna stress if it does backfire. You get a captain every week anyway so it’s only a small gain !

              1. DeadStarComing
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                True. Luck is a huge factor in captaincy which is why I'm not a fan of this chip. Good luck anyway!

                5 years, 1 month ago

                if u had sane would you TC him over kun or keep it the same

                youve talked me into tcing this week dont know when else i would play it
                and if its on a sgw player then might as well put it on a city player that will play twice even if its not max mins

                1. Richd
                  • 11 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  I’d still captain Kun personally.

                  Sane is a very good option too and I wish I could have him as well.

                  Really it’s a lot of luck knowing which to pick, I just think Aguero can dominate when in form

                  1. ZimZalabim
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    I think city will play with the same drive as they did vs liverpool after dropping points last week

                    so i expect them to score well and sane sterling and kun shd all get some returns I have sane and kun and have activated tc on kun so hope to get a decent score

                    best of luck

            Seen people tc ing this week. Why this week over a later DGW? I've tried to follow Ben Crellin but am Colour blind so struggle With his sheets

            1. DeadStarComing
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I think the thoughts are that you will likely want to use free hit and bench boost in the other (likely) two DGWs. So that leaves triple captain to either be played now or in a SGW. Or play one of the other chips on a SGW of course.

              1. tisza
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                Thank you. Most kind

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have Sane, Laporte and Aguero(TC). I would rather die tjen TC a singlegameweek player. The other DGWs are for BB and FH

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

    Start Jimenez or Barnes?

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jimi for me

  3. Majestic Chanka
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I’m liking the look of Batshuayi and Crouch in terms of deadline signings. Will probably bring one in around the blanks.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Crouch? really?

  4. wanaj84
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    help me
    captain
    aguero
    sterling
    sane

    who to choose?

    1. MMN
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sané

    2. boroie
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sane or kun

      My approximations of minutes over 2 games...

      Sterling - 105 (90+15)
      Sergio - 100 (80 + 20)
      Sane - 150 (80 + 70)

  5. MMN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Those who aren’t TCing this week, when do you plan to use it?

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      one of the other DGWs

      1. MMN
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        So when will you BB and FH?

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Free hit will be played in a blank gw for me

          1. MMN
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Which one? And why over the DGW 32? Isn’t potential much lower in a BGW?

            1. Darth_Newdar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Using Free Hit in a BGW last season was one of my rare good decisions - good score without worrying about bringing in rubbish players to cover the blanks

              1. MMN
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                FH in 31 will be a waste if it’s just those 4 fixtures. In 33 it’s a good idea if you can prepare well for 32 with transfers

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe a DGW, depending on how they fall, or potentially a SGW if necessary. Salah vs. Huddersfield (h) in GW36 looks potentially tempting - I expect Huddersfield to have been relegated by then, so nothing to play for; assuming Liverpool do still have something to play for, should be an easy win for them.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You have to consider that Salah could get injured or form could drop by then. I know it probably won’t happen, but the fact it could happen makes me not want to bank on it.

        1. Darth_Newdar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yes of course. All very uncertain, but after several failures with the TC in a DGW I'm trying to be as open as possible to the idea of using it in a SGW if that seems better. Not convinced by the idea of Sané as TC this week anyway, so keeping the chip in hand for now.

      Pereira is good from gw27, for the time being I'd go Laporte

      1. Alli
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. The only reason I havent already done Laporte is because then I have 5 not playing in GW 27

    2. FFPro

    On WC. Best 5.5m defender going forward? Cheers

      In two weeks time it will be a Leicester defender

    2. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say Doherty but you probs already have him in

      1. bigwig
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        or Kola and TAA after this week

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kola Pereira or TAA when back and dropped to 5.1 only ones that interest me

    For those who are using FH and BB in 32 and 35, when are you planning to TC?

      Chelsea's TGW 😎

      1. MMN
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If there was one when would that be? Would it be outside 32 and 35?

        1. chrispaterson1
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          If Chelsea get a TGW, Ben Crellin said it would most likely fall in 32, which would be free hit week

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd do it

    3. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not at all

  15. Super Silva Haze
    • 10 Years

    Best city defender for the dgw?

    1. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ederson/Laporte

    2. makaveli123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Laporte, based on minutes played. Danilo as a punt

  17. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What sounds better?

    A) Haz to Sterling now
    Only Auba next week

    B) Keep Haz.
    Have Son and Auba next week

    Have all Chips and WC left
    TC Sane or not?

    1. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yes

    2. Bluejays and Horseplay
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Save TC for a later DBW. Doubtful Sane will start both this GW with Chelsea up for them next after this.

    3. JollyGoodYellows
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in the same position! It'll come down to a last minute roll of the dice

  19. sthelenslad92
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bench 2 of these:
    1) AWB
    2) Doherty
    3) Holebas

    1. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2 and 3

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1 and 3

  20. Bluejays and Horseplay
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts please?

    i have:
    McCarthy
    AWB, Keane, Robertson
    Salah, Silva, Pogba*, Fraser, Sane(c)
    Firmino, Rashford

    2x FT available. Strongly considering Son for Pogba because of upcoming fixtures. Is this madness or no?

    1. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think Son will start on the bench but come on if they need him. If Spurs played Sun or Mon I'd think he'd start but not this afternoon

  21. KenyaDigIt
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    This DGW is all about attacking returns... Has anyone taken a hit to bring in a City/Everton defender or keeper?

    Walker, Pickford, Ederson, Laporte for -4?

    1. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I decided not to.

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

      No 3 City attackers and Everton suck

  22. markieffm
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I'm struggling. Only have Laport from City currently.

    Pick one

    A) Hazard to sterling
    B) Pogba & Luiz to Sane & Keane
    C) Firmino/Hazard/Pogba to Aguero/Sane/Siggy
    D) None of the above

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. markieffm
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I have two transfers and TAA as well. So maybe Has to Sterling and TAA to Keane?

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Keep taa. Just hazard to sterling

    2. Darth_Newdar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think I'd probably consider Hazard --> Sané/Sterling (take your pick) for free, with no other City attackers. (I have Sané and Hazard in my team for this week.)

      1. markieffm
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm very tempted to get rid of Pogba rather than Haz... Hard choice

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Why to remove a player who is playing best football in 2 years and in team which is full of confidence vs the player who looks disinterested and his team has zero confidence

          1. markieffm
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I like the way you think.

  23. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard - 2 fixtures in next 3
    Sane - 3 fixtures in next 3

    Hazard to sane for a hit lets go

  24. Mr_Barbs
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Final thoughts!?

    A) Hazard > Sterling/Son
    B) Digne > Laporte/Danilo
    D) Fab + Hazard > Ederson + Son (-4)
    E) Button > Boruc
    F) Save

  25. Js31
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Exact funds for Firmino to Aguero. Yay or nay?

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes and then change him to Auba next week

      1. Js31
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That's my plan!

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

        Exactly what I’ve done and will be doing

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Even I did... and TC him.

    3. StoneMountain
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Well Aguero hasn’t gone 2 games in a row without scoring points. Yay for me

    4. whosBenj
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I did.

  26. StoneMountain
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Mark has made 1 transfer. Can’t be Aguero. Who else could it be?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Defense
      Alonso to Laporte
      (Maybe)

  27. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    1. Brooks to richarlison
    2. brooks + rashford to son + llorente (have pogba)

  28. Ferris Bueller
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What's the vote on;
    A Hazard
    B Sane

    I've 2FT and a front 7 of;
    Salah, Haz, Bilva, Pog (Anderson)
    Firmino, Rash, Jimi

    I'm sorely tempted to keep as is - Haz & And > Sane & Siggy would just leave a benching problem...

  29. oi no professionals
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Play:
    A. Doherty
    B. Ings

  30. Fpl Richie

    • 8 Years

    Any chance Camarasa plays?
    He's above Digne on my bench. Might switch about.
