The 12 Double Gameweek 30+ players I plan to Bench Boost with

It’s back. It has felt like an eternity, but in a couple of days, we’ll be back to cheering on our differentials, holding our head in our hands when our captains miss a sitter, screaming at VAR when it rules out our points, and dancing around the living room with the dog when our player gets a 90-minute winner.

It’s been such a strange season for my team, but I couldn’t have predicted how weird it would get. After Harvey Barnes (£6.2m) got 19 points in Gameweek 29 and James Maddison (£7.5m) blanked, my rank plummeted. I can’t say I was feeling all that great about FPL. I’ve used these months to rest, recuperate and not really think about it too much in all honesty but, now it’s back, I’m ready to dive back in and sort things out.

When I opened my team for the first time in weeks the other day, I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. The balance of my team was decent, I had some sensible big hitters and quite a nice spread of players from different teams.

However, with everything that’s going on, there’s so much more to consider. Who is going to play most regularly in this frantic end to the season? Which of the players returning from injury will have the biggest impact? Which teams should we be targeting to ensure we are getting motivated and hungry players, rather than those who would rather be at home doing a Zoom quiz.

The final few weeks look set to shake everything up and, in a season where I’ve struggled to get a grip on what’s happening, I am conscious that I will need to adapt quickly. I’ve put together a couple of things that I’ll be looking to capitalise on as we enter the final straight of the season.

1. My chip strategy

What is the best FPL chip strategy for Double Gameweek 30+ and beyond?

The first round of Project Restart hands us an exciting Double Gameweek. Manchester City, Arsenal, Sheffield United and Aston Villa all play twice. Not only that, but FPL has handed us unlimited transfers AND the option to play a chip. To me, this is huge. Whenever I’ve played the Bench Boost before, I’ve had to plan ahead. Not just pick a team for one week, but consider how my squad will fare over several Gameweeks and ensure that each player serves a purpose around the double.

Well, that’s not the case this time around. In fact, I can do the complete opposite. The players I pick need to only serve one purpose. Score points in Double Gameweek 30+. This is because I’ve got the Wildcard ready to go, to clean up any mess that I find myself in after this Gameweek. The prospect of this is really exciting, I’m effectively gaining an extra Free Hit chip.

People without a Wildcard aren’t so lucky. Their Free Hits will likely be played, or squads will be designed with future Gameweeks in mind. With the likes of Everton desperately trying to avoid handing Liverpool the title at Goodison Park, Manchester United against a Spurs team with a whole host of injured players back and ready to go, and Leicester away at a Watford side who will be desperate to pick up points, I’m really hoping that shying away from these players and focusing on those with a double will make me big strides this coming week.

Those who are Free Hitting are essentially losing out on either a free Wildcard (unlimited transfers this week) or having to use what is arguably their most powerful chip (as squads will be reset to how they were prior to this Gameweek). This is great news for me personally, and indeed the many that still have the Wildcard. Some will be looking at their teams this week, concerned that their squads are looking weak, wishing they could make changes – and will only be applying a band-aid on the problem with their Free Hit chip, or will have to make transfers with the rest of the season in mind. The Double Gameweek 30+ Bench Boost and Gameweek 31+ Wildcard just looks a match made in heaven.

2. Who I’m targeting for GW 30+

 1

There’s still quite a bit to play for this season, with Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Wolves, Spurs and Sheffield United all hunting down the top four spots. At the other end of the table, five teams are trying to avoid being relegated with seemingly doomed Norwich.

Between these two groups, there is a whole host of players to choose from, and I’ll be basing my transfers for the remainder of the season on who has something to play for.

However, my team doesn’t need to follow this rule this week. My Double Gameweek 30+ plan is purely to try and capitalise on those with two fixtures.

I’ll be tripling-up on Manchester City, Arsenal, Sheffield United – and probably Aston Villa too. This means that 12 of my 15 players will be Double Gameweekers (the maximum I can have), with the other three slots going to teams with good games.

I like the look of Chelsea’s match against Villa – so Tammy Abraham (7.5m) will likely feature in my squad. The City and Arsenal options are trickier to decide on. Sergio Aguero (11.8m) will likely be the go-to captain for many (and for good reason), with Pierre Emeric-Aubameyang (11.1m) the other main consideration for the armband. It also seems silly to go without Kevin De Bruyne (10.6m) based on his form pre-coronavirus.

With Leroy Sane (9.3m) back to fitness, and a plethora of options in midfield such as Raheem Sterling (11.7m), Ryiad Mahrez (8.5m) and Bernardo Silva (7.9m) all in the reckoning for a start, plus the new five substitutes rule and Pep Guardiola’s tendency to rotate players anyway, I feel like I want to shy away from these players with the hope of getting a bit more security from their defence.

Aymeric Laporte (6.3m) was back in the team just before COVID-19 hit, and the break may have boosted his recovery from injury, if not lack of match fitness. John Stones (5.3m) and Nicholas Otamendi (4.9m) are just such inferior options compared to the Frenchman (compared to how impactful the midfielders are) which suggests that Laporte could get two sets of 90 minutes under his belt. He has scored big in a Double Gameweek before. Let’s hope he can do it again.

Is it time to invest in Arsenal assets after Gameweek 28? 6

Turning my attentions to Arsenal, I immediately have decided to eliminate any consideration for their defenders. A game against Manchester City doesn’t bode well for their chances of a clean sheet, and then an away game at Brighton, who I feel have enough to cause them difficulty with the skill of players like Leandro Trossard (5.8m), Neal Maupay (5.7m) and new signing Alexis MacCallister (5.5m) (who I am extremely excited about might I add) means that I can see goals in this match.

This means I’ll be looking in midfield to try and find some sources of points. Nicolas Pépe (9.3m) has burned me before, but I wonder if having no fans will reduce the pressure on the man who signed for big money in the summer. I also like the look of Bukayo Saka (4.7m), who Mikel Arteta seems to have a real soft spot for, and can play either at full-back or on the wing. I did briefly consider Dani Ceballos (5.2m) and Mesut Özil (7.3m), but note the deeper withdrawn role the former occupies under Arteta…and I fear that Özil may go missing even more than usual under a less pressured atmosphere.

My choices from Villa and Sheffield United were much easier. Jack Grealish (6.4m) looks a must, especially with his incredible strike in a friendly game against West Bromwich Albion the other day. The issue is which fellow Villains to pair with him.

Currently I’ve got Pepe Reina (4.5m) as my reserve goalkeeper, who I am not expecting much from, but may come out with some save points. I also love the look of John McGinn (5.4m) who was such an asset earlier in the season. I know David wrote a helpful article about him earlier this week. You can READ IT HERE.

While the focus has mostly been on attackers so far, at least two defenders from Sheffield United look tasty. I am also considering the triple up, but am leaning towards giving John Fleck (5.0m) a spot in my team. He has five goals this season already, and his place in the team looks pretty secure. Lord Lundstram (4.9) will, of course, be heavily backed, but again, I am hoping that he misses at least one of the games and my other United options help me gain some ground.

3. Going forward

With a solid plan in place for Double Gameweek 30+, I need to begin planning for Gameweek 31+ and beyond. I’m really pleased that I’ll be able to have a week to scope out the teams’ and players’ fitness and motivation before playing my Wildcard.

Manchester United and Wolves are the teams that I really want to target until the season end, with a combination of great fixtures, hungry players and something to play for. If Liverpool do claim the title at Goodison, I may even shy away from their options altogether…

I just want to end this article by offering my sympathies to anyone that’s been negatively impacted by Coronavirus. The pandemic has taken a toll on people emotionally, physically, on their careers and loved ones. If anyone does want to chat about anything, I’m always available, and the best place to contact me is on Twitter – @ffscout_az. Whether it’s just to chat FPL, or anything really. It’s going to be great being able to look forward to watching some football again and getting back to being involved with the FFScout community. Onwards to Double Gameweek 30+!

    Have a lot of spare time these days so if you want to post any question for help this gameweek then reply to this and I'll do my best to answer 🙂

    P.S I'm pretty rubbish so don't blame me when it goes wrong!

    1. Qaiss

      Who's your captain going to be?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        At the moment Aguero but probably end up on KDB.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Who scores more this GW? Mané or Pepe

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I think Mane just about.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I prefer B from that bunch.

        And Salah, he's chasing a third consecutive golden boot.

    4. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Which keeper up to 5m should I go for for 1 week only (can't be Leno)

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Krul at 4.6m is a decent shout. At home to Saints and a decent penalty save record.

    5. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Is there anyway I can get John kicked out of the mini league?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Haha earn your title!!

    6. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      First time player with good OR and lost what to do next here.
      Only FH and BB left with this squad.

      Pope/Mcc

      Taa/Alonso/Doc/Egan/C.Taylor

      Salah/KDB/Bruno/Sarr/McCarthy

      Auba/Jota/Ings

      Plan was thru FH but I made a few changes and was Gona BB now while keeping players I want for run in. Would you just FH and get this team back next week? Soooooo confused lol

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I would free hit and get that team back the week after, assess from there.

        I wouldn't want to BB those players this GW to be honest.

    7. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Who scores more - Lacazette or Pepe?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Meh, both whack IMO.

        I think Pepe plays more so I'll go with him.

      2. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Hi BERBINHO'S FOREHEAD

        Wk 38 team (0.4 ITB)

        De Gea/McCarthy
        Alonso, TAA, Boly, O'Connell,Tanganga
        Salah, Bruno, KDB, Barnes, Fleck
        DCL, Jiminez, VArdy

        Would you FT or a couple of Transfers and BB?

        No TC or WC left

        Cheers

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I would use up the unlimited transfers and bench boost.

          I assume you mean FH not FT, so FH at a later date.

          1. Crunchie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yes I did , Cheers

    8. Kurupt FC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No wildcard. Have BB and FH. 0.1m itb. This is my UT team for dgw and moving forward:

      Pope / Martin
      TAA / Lascelles / Egan / Cathcart / Aarons
      Son / Salah / DeBruyne / Bruno / Saka
      Jimenez / Kun / Nketiah

      Please advise, thank you.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Your team looks ok to be honest.

        I would actually bench boost because Cathcart (LEI), Aarons (SOU), Nketiah (DGW) have good fixtures.

        1. Kurupt FC
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Thank you!
          Is going without Aubama a risk, would he outscore Jimi across the the 2 games you reckon? Thnak you.

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah I think Auba outscores Jimenez this week. But Jimenez is a very good pick, I would not sell.

          2. Kurupt FC
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Thank you. As I dont have a WC i really gotta look to having pretty mush a set team. Maybe some tinkering later. Could drop Kun laetr on for Rashford or even gey Abuba back... so much food for thought!

            What are your thoughts on Pogba?

    9. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Liverpool mid (and therefore KDB captain), or Aguero (c)? For this week and probably the next couple

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        The former if you include the next few weeks

    10. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez and Lacelles or Mount and Laporte.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I was going to say ML, but that doesn't tell you which 😆

        Mahrez Lascelles for me!

    11. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Would you get any Chelsea players for this week and if so, who? Would be in place of Jiminez, Grealish, Doherty.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not for any of those

    12. XABI 15
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Current team is the below and I have FH, WC and BB left. OR 1.1k

      Pope
      TAA Doherty Boly
      Barnes Salah Mane KDB
      Jimenez Ings DCL

      Button Soyuncu Cantwell Rico

      For gameweek 31 would you rather have:
      1. Team above + BB + WC + no playing bench in 30
      2. WC team (wont be able to afford team above) + FH + fully playing bench in 30

      Thanks!

      On a FH - which combo is better

      1. TAA, Martial, Abraham

      2. Leno*, McGinn*, Mane

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years

  4. simong1
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who is the best 5th midfielder pick for GW30+ BB only?

    Options I can see for me are:

    A) Cantwell
    B) Saka
    C) Douglas Luiz

    Trying to decide between Cantwell, the SGW option with a good fixture or the other 2 who should hopefully get a minimum of 3-4 points as they have 2 fixtures..

    Better to go for Cantwell with the hope he gets a goal/assist or go for one of the DGW options?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A much more upside

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'm on Cantwell atm. Each has their own risk but he has the highest realistic ceiling, imo.

  5. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Alright, lads, last try and won't bother ya no mo with this, I know it's hard to read long posts 🙂

    I currently have the following team going on the unlimited free transfers (new players with *):

    *Hendo (*Krul)
    TAA - Fernandez - *Egan (Saiss, *Tanganga)
    KdB - Fernandes (considering Mahrez) - *Pepe - *Grealish (*Guendouzi)
    *Kun - Auba - *Samatta

    0.1 ITB, so could get Fernandes back for Mahrez if I pull the trigger after GW30+

    My GW38 team was:

    McCarthy (Pope)
    TAA - Fernandez - Saiss (Williams, Simpson)
    Salah - KdB - Fernandes - Fleck (Amartey)
    Vardy - DCL - Auba

    Only have FH left. Which team, do you think sets me up better for the rest of the season? Should I stick with my current team or FH and revert to GW38 for the rest of the season?

    1. stepper1971
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      FH for the DGW then the GW38 team is decent moving forward

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Agree

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, I'm thinking that more and more... Going Mahrez instead of Fernandes, then.

          1. Crunchie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            With one chip left you have to FH. Good side IMO

      I'm thinking the same!

  7. Vazza

    1. TAA, Martial, Abraham

    2. Leno*, McGinn*, Mane

      No crowd*

    2. HamezMace

        Those decisions on screen with fans waiting with anticipation is what makes var exciting. Not going to happen with no fans

          They’ll just have to make do with keeping a world wide television audience in suspense.

    Doherty, Alonso, PVA, Ake, anyone else?

      Trent

  12. The King
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone punting on Gilmour at 4.5? Crazy I know but could be great if he plays

      Rotation risk and a very defensive player. Controls the midfield rather than creates chances.

    Just wondering, with a BB left and a WC , how are people thinking about Liverpool assets. I have TAA and Mane, both with large TV built up ( had them for a long time). Losing mane is the only realistic way for me to get Aguero for this week, but I’m sure I will want him back on next weeks WC. Thoughts?

      I just triggered my FH, so dropped all LIV assets for this week. Getting Salah and TAA back for GW31+, but seriously considering going without after they clinch.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        May not be a good idea, they are not in any other competitions and could score for fun.

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Klopp may also want to protect his best assets for the long-term.

    2. SPFC
      • 8 Years

      FH in GW31+ and WC in GW32+

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Still deciding on whether Salah/ or downgrade to Son on wk 32.

      I probably would. Depends on how you feel on the Jesus factor (and his moaning in the press)

  14. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Will teams play friendly matches before GW30+? Especially City and Arsenal I am interested in.

    I feel it is very risky to play BB at this point. Their could be many surprises in line-ups,

    I think playing a FH with a decent bench is the way to go

  15. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this BB team guys?

    Ederson/Reina
    TTA Lascelles Lundstram O'Connel Aarons
    Mane McGinn KDB Fleck Grealish
    Auba Tammy Kun

    (not sold on the Reina pick but figure its worth a punt for the DGW)

  16. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would you play this 11:

    Leno
    TAA Egan O'Connell
    Sterling KDB Grealish Fleck
    Kun Auba Jimenez

    Or BB with Abraham instead of Auba + a bench of Reina Saiss Lascelles Barnes

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn't go without Auba this GW. But it is probably the best GW to use BB. Maybe downgrade Sterling instead of Auba?

      1. BigCoupes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        What if your only chance of having Aguero was dropping auba?

  17. MGD
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Salah in my team with locked-up value (pp = 12,2, cp=12,7) makes it really hard to fit good BB players.

    What you figure..?

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Same issue ( with Mane). I cant get Kun if I hold onto Mane, who I wil want back next week.

  18. JurgenRodgers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    FH team..

    Henderson
    TAA Egan Tierney
    Fleck KDB Grealish Sterling
    Jiminez Aguero Auba

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very nice, will Tierney play though? Otherwise I'd have Leno and a SHU defender in there.

  19. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Laporte and Mount or Mahrez and Lacelles.?

  20. Robson-Canoe
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which combination would you go for this GW?
    A) Reina Laporte O'Connell
    B) Ederson Targett Baldock

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B, personally would want the security of minutes Ederson offers. And Baldock's attacking potential

  21. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Do you think Traore could be a decent option for remainder of season?

    (Bit of a rotation risk but then so are most players with 5 subs).

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I brought him a month or so before lockdown and he had an awful time with rotation and injuries. I probably won't go back for now.

    2. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Has been in and out of the team pre-covid and his form wasn't great. Classic case of wait and see but wouldn't bring him in now. Doherty, Jota and Jimenez much safer and better picks from Wolves as it stands.

    3. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Guess you got him at a bad time perhaps.
      Just think he could be decent value at 5.7, especially with Wolves fixtures. With 5 sub's he's bound to get decent playing time.

    4. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Already got Jimmy and Doc. Would be a triple-up.

  22. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How are people thinking of using their 3 Man City players or, assuming most will have Aguero and KdB, how will you be using your third?

    My gut - and RMT tool - says Mahrez is the way to go. Could really bang, but it is risky.

    Then another, safer voice in my head says Ederson is guaranteed minutes and should get a decent return.

    What do you think?

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero, KdB and Sterling for me.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Strong!

    2. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ederson/Laporte because I can't afford another City mid and I don't like the rotation prospects.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, yeah that's on my mind too

      2. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I agree, I'm expecting one start each for Aguero/Jesus/Sane/Sterling/Mahrez/Bilva, hoping for 2 from KDB(c) but not counting on it.

  23. Kvnforthewin
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A. Aguero + mahrez
    B. Jimenez + sterling

    A or B? Or it’s basically just a lottery?

    1. Kvnforthewin
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Already have KDB

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

  24. Negan
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    BB30+ , WC31+ RMT:
    Leno-Reina
    TAA*- Laporte- Stevens- Baldock- Egan
    KDB-Grealish-McGinn-Saka-Mount
    Aguero(C)- Auba- Jiminez*

    -keeping TAA and Jimi for value, thoughts?

  25. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hendo/Egan/Basham too much for a SHU triple-up on FH?

  26. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Aubameyang not needed with brighton and city away, really average/bad fixtures, would rather spread the money elsewhere and get a mid price striker

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Its Brighton, not Barcelona.

  27. MGD
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    My first RMT of Project Restart. Not mega-happy

    Leno* - Reina*
    TAA* - Laporte* - Baldock* - Egan* - Cedric*
    Salah - KDB* - Grealish* - Fleck* - Saka*
    Aguero* - Abraham - Samatta*

    13 DGW players.

    Will WC after this. Thooughts?

    1. Adderz
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I wish Trent had a DGW too

      1. MGD
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        haha mah bad...

        12 then

      2. Adderz
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        If I was going to gamble on a cheap Arsenal defender starting, it'd be Mari instead of Cedric

  28. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On BB before wc next week, which one?

    A) salah fleck mcginn targett
    B) Fernandes grealish Mount laporte

    1. Crunchie

  29. RamaJama

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago
