How the Top 10k are set up for Double Gameweek 25

A large number of Fantasy Premier League managers in the top 10,000 have signed Sergio Aguero (£11.3m) for Double Gameweek 25.

Ominously, a chunk of those high-level players have also activated their Triple Captain chips too.

Manchester City striker Aguero has taken Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s (£11.2m) place as the third most popular forward in the top echelon of the game.

Going into Gameweek 24, the Arsenal man was in 31% of teams in the top 10k, with Raul Jiménez (£6.5m) and Marcus Rashford (£7.7m) the only two ahead of him, on 59% and 91% respectively.

However, the allure of fixtures against Arsenal and Everton, although starts in both are not guaranteed, has persuaded 40% of the top 10k to ensure they have Aguero in their ranks.

Leroy Sané (£9.7m) remains the most popular of the Double Gameweek players in the top 10k, sitting in 63% of squads, up from 48.7%.

It looks as if Eden Hazard (£10.9m), who hauled against Huddersfield, was the fall-guy for those signing Sané, as his representation at the top level shrunk massively from 48.6% to 29.3% between Gameweeks 24 and 25.

The City man is the most-captained player in the top 10k, with 38.82% of the managers at that level handing him the armband. Given the decision of many to replace Hazard, who scored twice against Huddersfield, with Sané, the pressure is now on the German to deliver in his two outings.

Aguero is the second most-captained on 28.5%, with Richarlison (£6.8m) on 20% and Raheem Sterling (£11.3m) on 12.4%.

In total there are no more than four Double Gameweek assets in the squad of most popular players among the top 10,k – although only three of them are confirmed starters.

The fourth is Lucas Digne (£5.3m) who missed Everton’s first fixture of the Double Gameweek on Saturday through suspension.

The rest of FPL have taken a different approach to the Double Gameweek.

Aguero is owned by a smaller contingent when all six million players are considered but remains in the top three most popular forwards.

Sané and Richarlison are also present, but Digne is not. The most attractive defensive option for the Double Gameweek is Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson (£5.6m).

Crucially, the Double Gameweeks has not quite swayed the masses as much as it has the elite level players.

The most popular captain in overall in FPL this weekend is Mohamed Salah (£13.6m), with a 26.5% share. Aguero is second on 17.9%.

Meanwhile, the Triple Captain chip has received some attention among the top 10k with Manchester City playing twice.

The number of managers to have deployed that particular chip in or before Double Gameweek 25 jumped from 11.86% to 20.06%. That means 8.2% were brave enough to pull the trigger.

There were also some Triple Captain chips played across the wider world of FPL, but not on the same scale.

28.7% of managers overall had deployed the Triple Captain in the first 24 Gameweeks, that number increasing to 30.75% once Gameweek 25 was factored into the equation.

Aguero looks to have the most heavily backed in the Triple Captaincy, earning 51,000+ augmented armbands.

You will have also noticed that 2.15% of managers in the top 10k wielded their Free Hit chip this week too.

Above, we can see that even in these Gameweek-specific squads, managers have not gone overboard on the Double Gameweeks.

They are seven players in the Gameweek 25 Free Hit template, Aguero, Richarlison, Sané, Sterling, Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.4m), Michael Keane (£4.9m) and Jordan Pickford (£5.0m).

    Who would you drop first?

    A) Hazard
    B) Bilva

      Bilva if you can switch him to Son with money ITB

      TC sane to go

    How does this look? What is your chip strategy if you still have them all left?

    GW30: WC in DGW32 players
    GW31: Free hit to dodge the blanks
    GW32: Bench boost
    GW33: Navigate with FTs
    GW35: TC

    Sadly won't know the GW33 blanks before I WC using this method, but I don't see a better way. Should have a fair idea of the odds on each potential blank though after another round of the FA cup and the draw having been made presumably.

        FH32, WC34, BB35. Used TC this week

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah that looked pretty optimal to me, if it were any big team other than Pep's city this DGW then I may have used TC also, but don't trust any of them to play both.

        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t see too much wrong with it. But tbh, I’ve not even given them a second thought yet. Likely I will wildcard 27 or 28 and by then have a better idea of how it’s shaping up

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

        I am building towards a DGW32 team with FTs
        FH in BGW31
        BB in DGW32
        use FTs to cover BGW33
        WC in 34
        TC in DGW35

        Very good plan

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 1 month ago

        GW31 will possibly = blank for MUN, MCI, TOT, CRY, WAT, SOU, WOL, ARS, EVE, CHE

        Is it a good idea to get the likes of Son and Auba in now - ie. how many future hits will that cost?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

            This

              I want that for DGW in 32

            Same for everybody. No need to worry

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah it's relative, but rank could come down to weighing up their potential pts vs necessary hits to then fix it.
                Just wondering others thoughts.

                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Trying to get players from Liverpool, Bournemouth, Burnley and Leicester so would have even 8 players playing then

                  1. MTPockets
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      Yep - thats the problem with Son/Auba.
                      Only started looking at this today and realised my team's currently somewhat stuffed (just Salah/TAA)

              • F4L
                • 9 Years

                Chelsea should play

              • SADIO SANÉ
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                FH31, WC/TC32 maybe

              Dropped from sub-10K before last GW to 35K-ish tonight.

              Gosh I need some good returns in the remainder of this GW D:

                • 10 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Hard luck, who don't you have that's hurting your rank so bad?

                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Last GW: Son, Auba, Jimenez
                  This GW: Son, Hazard

                  I did Haz > Sterling this week, after weeks of pain. Lo and behold...

                  It's more-so that players like Arnautovic & Ings have been doing nothing for me, whilst the alternatives scored well.

              How’ve you all done so far?

              42 with Salah(c) Sane Auba Robertson Pogba(or Bednarek) to go should stand me in fairly good stead, right?

                Fabianski Danilo Shaw Sterling SaneC Salah Rashford Rich to go! (11)

                Fairly happy today tbh with not massive returns.

                Think you are about par if I’m honest. Unless Salah hauls which is entirely possible

                Not especially pleased with 20 (-4) and Doherty and AWB on bench but I have Sané (C)x2, Kun x2, Laporte x2, Salah, Robbo, Fab, Pogba and Rashford to go...

                36 with Fabianski; Robbo Salah Sane tc x 2 Richarlison Pogba Rashford to go, could be great week but all on Sane

                Just 14, (Richarlison, Ings, Doherty, Alonso) from 11k down to 20k.

                At least I've some players still to come. Ederson, Robbo, Sane, Salah, Pogba, Aguero, Rashford

                Kind of depends on your existing bench players.
                You still have 2 fts.
                Brooks immediate problem if out for a month

                    That's a good side. Can even play 4 at the back next week.
                    Rich and ház also good enough next week.
                    Then plenty of combos for bilva and Brooks with no need for a hit for GW 27

                You can get rid of 3 of them before GW27 with 2 FT transfers and a -4

                brooks I would have been benching the next month anyway so he can just stay there.

                    looking at your team Son/Pogba. if you wanted to switch out brooks then JwP has been on fire but has equally crap fixtures. moutinho could be a shout as well.

                Similar.
                At first I sell Bilva, because his gametime is likely limited.
                Hoping Brooks recover.
                Next week sell Hazard to get Son or Pogba or Mané. (if you have cash itb you can sell Richarlison instead) and bench the other

              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Plan is to sell Richarlison and Digne for Son and a defender (4.6 or less). Best option? Want a GW27 player ideally.

              A. Bednarek and cash.
              B. Newcastle def (e.g. Yedlin).
              C. Burnley def (e.g. Mee).
              D. Other suggestion?

              5 years, 1 month ago

              39 from 4 - 11 to go! It’s looking good so far!

              (Guaita TAA Rich Kamara)

              a) Haz > Son

                A probably, he's also a captain option in 27.

              Waited patiently for 6 weeks for a Hazard haul, & will now be selling immediately - it’s all about the chase!
              Assume every other Haz holder is doing the same?

                He still has averaged 5 points a game for the last 6 weeks albeit he can go missing for a few gameweeks

                Won't have to worry about it next season as he will be off to Madrid

                Without planning chip strategy can't sell him.Keeping one more week ATM and then reassess.Cant see the hurry to sell unless u need cash to do another move.No guarantee son outscores him next week

                  Haz to Son is the plan with ManC & Blank next 2 weeks - but he helped shoot me up from 90k - 50k this week so we leave on good terms.

                I had him at least half of this season in two spells.
                Never scored for me.

              Just got in from a long trip.
              All those who did Hazard to City mid and captained, what would it take now to console you?

              Have to say its the story of my season. Was fairly sure keeping him was right and bottled it in the end out of fear. Too bad!

                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Obvious answer would be to get at least 15 points; 19 if for a hit...

              Who to get rid... Will keep The other two through the blank

              A. Sane
              B. Sterling
              C. Hazard

              Leaning towards the one who plays more minutes this week from A or B

              Thoughts

                • 6 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I would get rid of sterling and keep other 2

              2. MTPockets
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  A/B. City are more likely to blank in both 31 and 33 vs Chelsea, and every extra player by then will probably matter

                A) rashford vs ful(a)
                B) auba vs hud(a)

                Is there likely another dgw than gw 32 and 35? Didn’t idé my tc today and is saving FH and BB for the above.

                  Depends on Chelsea and Brighton in FA Cup.

                With two free transfers who should I drop for Son?

                a. Hazard
                b. Sane
                c. Richarlison

                Foster
                Robertson, Pereira, Doherty
                Pogba, Salah, Hazard, Richarlison, Sane
                Rashford, Jimenez

                Speroni, Bednarek, Kamara, Peltier
                2.7 million in the bank

                17k OR with Sane(TC)*2, Salah, Richi, Auba & Rashford to play
                chances of breaking into the top 10k?

                    that and Aguero/Sterling/Pogba/Robbo blanks.
                    Auba is actually a differential funnily enough

                So who to go for Son?

                1. Rich
                2. Hazard

                Hazard haul makes its tough but it was Hud and his only return in weeks. Rich and Everton suck.
