How Double Gameweek 19 fixture changes have affected my FPL chip and transfer strategies

Like most Fantasy Premier League managers, I am finding it very hard to plan for Double Gameweek 19.

In light of Thursday’s updated fixture list, here is my latest plan for transfers and chip strategies ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

But, you could not have caught me in worse spirits about the way this season is going. Oh, Raz, what have you done to me. 

I know it really shouldn’t matter with everything going on, but Raheem Sterling’s (£11.4m) penalty miss has to go up there with one of my worst ever moments in FPL. 

My Free Hit team was built around him being my key differential, and not content with a spot on the bench until the 82nd minute, Sterling had to go and make things even worse.

Using the brilliant “what if” machine over at LiveFPL.net, I worked out that if Sterling had scored, I would have been catapulted into the top million ahead of my Arsenal contingent facing Crystal Palace.

Even if Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m) had shaken off his fatigue and scored, I’d have still gone up a few hundred thousand places. If ever a moment summed up my season, it happened last night.

With the pain of the miss still fresh in my mind, I now have to turn my attention to planning for the upcoming Gameweeks. We have never known anything like it. Double Gameweeks have dropped off the table, with both Leeds and Southampton now only having one game. There go four players that I had in place ready for Double Gameweek 19.

Aston Villa v Everton is off now too. So, there goes Dominic Calvert Lewin (£7.7m). Dean Smith’s men have earned a fixture back though, hosting Newcastle at the back-end of the Gameweek, although we still don’t know which of their plays have been dealing with coronavirus (COVID-19). And let’s not forget that top target Jack Grealish (£7.7m) is on four yellow cards. Another one against Manchester City and he would miss the second Double Gameweek 19 fixture.

Let’s add to that problem. Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m) is also one booking away from a ban and faces what is likely to be a fiery encounter against Liverpool to come, before playing Fulham. Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is off form. Manchester City are proving rock solid in defence but a bit of a lottery in trying to work out how many goals they will score, even against so-called ‘inferior’ opposition. Are they back, or were good performances against Newcastle and Chelsea just the result of playing teams in poor form?

I am finding it very hard this season and I know I’m not the only one. It feels almost impossible to plan for things when so much is in flux. But, we must try. I’m not going to give up hope, but I am looking at this season through the lens of what it is. No matter what rank I end up with, I will know what went on. I am allowing myself this season as a freebie, whatever happens.

I think I want to have a bit of fun at this stage. I want to give my squad a bit of a freshening up once Double Gameweek 19 is out of the way. I am interested in Percy Tau (£5.5m), mostly due to my Brighton bias, but also because he presents an intriguing cheap option as a potentially out-of-position option. 

Let’s face it, with competition such as Neal Maupay (£6.1m) it’s hard to imagine Tau won’t feature – and his most natural position is as an attacking midfielder. I expect to see him cementing a regular spot in the team going forward, given our lack of real goal threat over the last few months.

Barring any drastic news from the West Ham camp, I am going to finally make a move for Michael Antonio (£6.2m). West Ham have the best Double Gameweek schedule of the lot, hosting Burnley and West Bromwich Albion. 

The reason why I am so keen is because the Hammers have sold Sebastien Haller (£, his only direct competition, to Ajax. While I don’t expect a full 180-minute outing in Double Gameweek 19 for Antonio, it looks like he has returned from injury at a good time, and got minutes in the FA Cup. With Sterling’s penalty miss making one of my low points of FPL, Antonio’s four goals against Norwich was certainly my high point. If he can get close to replicating this then I’ll be a happy man again.

Speaking of West Ham, this seems a great time to invest in their defence. I know a lot of people have got Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m) and he seems a great option for the double – but a double up with Aaron Creswell (£5.4m) could be gold. I’d back West Ham for at least one clean sheet and Creswell has already registered 6 assists in the league.  No defender has got more. Historically, defenders are often great picks in Double Gameweeks with the likes of Branislav Ivanovic, Aymeric Laporte and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) all registering huge returns in seasons gone by. It wouldn’t surprise me to see a West Ham defender as the top-scoring player for the Gameweek.

Sky Fantasy Football: Sticks and Stones? Who to bring in before the Overhaul? 2

Another strong consideration for me is to double-up with Manchester City defenders. John Stones (£5.0) has finally come into my reckoning due to the consistency of strong performances from himself and the rest of the backline. 

At this point, I don’t think the extra £0.8m is worth it for fellow centre back Ruben Dias (£5.8m) and I think not only does Stones keep his place, but he matches the Portuguese internationals points from now until the end of the season. 

That said, I am very glad to have moved for João Cancelo (£5.8m). I am completely and utterly convinced that this man is going to hit a double-digit return soon. Could it be this week? Is he actually an outside captaincy option with other big-hitting players flattering to deceive?

One player who I think I will be keeping is Son Heung-min (£9.8m). His 62.5% ownership means that I’m not getting much benefit from his returns, but it feels amiss to be selling him before a run of games that includes Brighton, West Brom and Sheffield United. 

I had earmarked a swap for him to De Bruyne, but with Pep Guardiola citing fatigue as the reason he didn’t take Manchester City’s penalty – combined with the fact that his side are still playing without a recognised striker AND that he only has one goal from open play this season, decimating my team and taking out the number one point scorer in the game just feels a bit of a luxury transfer when there are other moves I could be making to try and climb the rankings.

So, with fixture rescheduling putting any plans I had for a Bench Boost on hold, I am considering which chip I should use if any. With Fernandes on four yellow cards, I don’t feel confident enough captaining him this week – which makes Salah the obvious choice. 

The trouble is, I’m just not sure how the Manchester United game is going to pan out. I think it might be a very cagey affair. While I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have the firepower to put a dent in Liverpool’s title charge, a point would suit them. 

Do I really think Liverpool’s incredible home record of 53 wins and 11 draws in the last 64 games will come to an end against United? I’m just not convinced. At this point, I am strongly considering not using a chip at all and saving them for a bit later in the season. There is the guarantee of further Double gameweeks, and maybe a player will emerge as a stronger Triple Captain option on paper then.

Whatever you decide to do this week, good luck! Double Gameweeks are always something to get excited about. My advice is don’t be afraid to chuck a few hits to bring in some more players and make the most of it.

    People keep saying about bench boosting the Leeds lads but Brighton looked solid against Man City and that was without Bissouma! I’d avoid.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm already too confused! Don't do this!

      1. Men in green tights
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I am bench boosting as that was my plan and Leeds do attack well

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yea I’m just going to go for it.

      My bench boost will consist of;

      Johnstone, Dawson, Dallas, Rafinha.

      Could work out......

      Tempted to take an extra -4 on Rafinha, but with 7.4M budget nobody is jumping out to me!

    3. Buck The Trent

      City was tired, Leeds = fresh

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      City are not a high scoring team

  2. OrmskirkFC
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Does anyone have the latest on Aguero? His return date changed from the 26th to unknown.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's just not an option at all right now.

      1. OrmskirkFC
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I have to decide between starting him or Abraham. Draft leagues force you to consider strange options, indeed.

    2. Men in green tights
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Can only guess during his self isolation must of got a positive result

  3. 0james0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Will Soucek score more in 2 games than Saka in one? Is it worth a -4?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Worth the gamble

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He will score more in 2 games but not sure if it will be more than 4 to make up for the hit!

    3. mrelpea
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely worth it

    4. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Worth it.

    5. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He will

  4. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Raphina to Soucek for free? Keep Kane and Son another week? Means no Mo

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I did Salah>KDB for BGW and not selling Son or Kane. Riding without Salah. Vs Man U isn't great fixture

  5. mrelpea
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Evening all. How nailed does Foden seem for DGW? Surely even with Pep roulette he’s played himself into contention with his recent form,no?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think he is pretty nailed and should start both games but it's Pep. I would gamble with KDB, Foden and a def rather than KDB and 2 def

      1. mrelpea
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers! I agree about KdB, Foden and defender. Have Dias and would love to get KDB in but would mean losing son and downgrading robbo. Foden would be a GW19 punt and I’d bring grealish back in for GW20. A bit concerned about Grealish and the villa covid situation

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Villa situation is a don't buy don't sell until we get more info before the deadline

          1. mrelpea
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Indeed! If there’s one thing these last couple of days have shown, it’s that leaving everything to just before deadline is the way forward. GL mate

  6. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who will score the most points in 19?

    1. Son vs Salah (FT)
    I can't see Son getting much joy against SHU low block back 5 and Salah has two games

    2. Kane vs Vardy (-4)
    This could be tight. Kane is the better spurs option to get something from the SHU game. Vardy could explode in the SOU and CHE game.

    3. Balbuena vs Cresswell (-4)
    Balbuena is out the team so cresswell should cover the hit

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah has 7pts total from last 3 games

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He's had a good rest, the best player in FPL, has two games and on pens

      2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Does that mean he is due?
        🙂

        have soucek & coufal if that makes any difference?

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Don't think it does, fancy West Ham as a much better scoring prospect than Newcastle.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you get some news on Watkins then him. If not risk it with Antonio

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

  8. Mr. Chimes
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who am I selling for Cancelo? And even Stones as well?

    A. Reguilon
    B. Kyle Walker-Peters
    C. Mitchell

    Coufal and Robertson are other defenders.

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you can afford it, I would do Reguilon, KWP to Cancelo, Stones

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

      2. Mr. Chimes
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Would you then go -8 to get rid of DCL? If I don’t sell him I’ll be starting Bamford with either Rodrigo or Raphinha (Leeds triple up backfiring lol)

    2. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      When you find out, let me know!

      I'm torn between Lowton, with his 2 naff fixtures, and KWP, with his one slightly less naff fixture, to make way for Cancelo or Dias.

      With yours, Mitchell has got some decent fixtures coming up if you need him, and he's very cheap.
      KWP is nailed, Reguilon isn't. I would lose Reguilon first, I think.

      1. Mr. Chimes
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed. I’ve enjoyed having Reg as differential for awhile but he’s become too rotatable. Will at the very least get rid of him - helps with funds too

  9. KUN+10
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anything you would change here? GTG?

    Martinez
    Cancelo Diaz Holding Dier
    Son Bruno KDB (TC) Salah
    Antonio Wilson

    Steer Bamford SmithR Mitchell

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Play Bamford

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah this, over Dier.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Start Bamford ahead of Dier (low ceiling at 6 points) and wouldn't risk the TC chip on KDB

      1. Babit1967
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Why not get use the tc on KDB if u don’t mind me asking ? Two great fixtures

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Based on Peps last comments on him. Said he was tired with 15 mins left and didn't take the pen because of that. Suggests he could be rested. Also small chance of the villa city game being postponed (highly doubt it though)

          1. Babit1967
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Fair enough mate,I’m taking that chance that he plays both, think he will

  10. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    1) dcl to Cavani ( play Bamford )
    2) dcl to Antonio ( play Bamford)
    3) dcl + Brewster to Wilson + Watkins (-4)

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      2

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1 or 2 - I think I prefer Cavani over Antonio

  11. Puyol Pants Up
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which City defender is worth bringing in?

    Cancelo, Dias or Stones? (Money not an issue)

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo. 20 pts incoming this DGW

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I hear that every week!

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias safe option, Cancelo more exciting

    4. Mr. Chimes
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo first - good long term we suspect. Then I think Stones after that - he’s cheaper than Dias, as far as anybody knows he’s equally as nailed, and probably provides a similar goal threat

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Does anyone know who tf to captain lmaooo

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB TC

    2. Mr. Mystic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No one, save it for later in the year.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Still working on my starting XI, I’ll get back to you when I’ve that sorted!

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think I'm leaning towards captaining Salah. Liverpool's home record is an entirely different thing and he's also had a lot of time to rest and prep for this big United game. All that's left is to get confirmation that Matip is fit and I'm allin I think.

      1. OLLY G
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm thinking the same. Just captain or TC?

        As good an option as KDB is, there's still an outside chance that the Villa match will be postponed, which would obviously be a cappo nightmare.

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          The way Palace defended can see City struggling again

          1. OLLY G
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Very true.

  13. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    For DGW19 what combo do you prefer?

    A) Robbo + Stones + Son (free)
    B) Stones + KDB + start Lowton/Dallas (-4)

  14. Mr. Mystic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Sorry repost: Wilson to Antonio for free or save transfer?

    How much gametime do we think Antonio gets?

    1. Eastman
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson will play more minutes anyway. As it’s for free I don’t mind it.

    3. OLLY G
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Who are your other strikers?

      It seems a little sideways to lose a DGW striker who is on penalties.

      That being said, l think Antonio is a better pick short-term and long-term than Wilson.

      1. Mr. Mystic
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Bamford

        1. OLLY G
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, fair dos. Tough to ditch a DGWer but then you want to keep Bamford going forward. Antonio is the stand out DGW striker, no doubt.

          1. Mr. Mystic
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Exactly, it’s the debate of Antonio or 2FTs next GW, hmmm

    How do I get Kdb in there ? 0.6 itb

    Martinez
    Robbo Dias Zouma Coufal
    Salah Bruno Son
    Kane Bamford Watkins

    Button Raphina fodder fodder

    A. Son Robbo to KDB Stones -4

    Anyone think KDB could get rested for one of the matches?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      quite posible or manged minutes - who knows? Pep only lol

    2. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, I think so against Palace given Pep’s comments.

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        No, Palace beat them at Etihad remember. Pep won't underestimate them.

    3. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe subbed off at 70mins if they are winning by 2 goals against Palace, otherwise he has to stay on.

    4. Babit1967
      • 7 Years

      He’s their talisman and they need him on the park, he will play both games

    5. Miguel Sanchez

      Loads here do

  17. LSK
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was going to do Son to Salah but tempted to keep Son and do Raphinha to Pulisic instead.

    KDB captain regardless.

    Crazy to consider Pulisic?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

  18. Blue&White85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this BB team? 1.4 ITB, 0FTs.

    Martinez Meslier
    Chilwell Dias James Dallas Coufal
    Salah Fernandes Son Cavaleiro Souceck
    Vardy Bamford Antonio

    My worry is a lack of City attacking cover but I think KDB might get rested given Guardiola’s comments.

    If Grealish passes the city game without YC, will his YC count get reset?

      Nope

      No after Villa's 19th game

    Evening folks, torn between two transfer options;

    1) Rashford and Kane to Salah and Vardy
    2) Anguissa and Kane to Salah and Watkings

    Thoughts appreciated.

  21. ABCDEFC
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which is the best option?
    A) Balbuena, Son, Kane to Dias, KDB, Antonio (-8). Don't Bench Boost.
    B) McCarthy, Balbuena, Son, Kane, Adams to Martinez, Stones, KDB, Antonio, Watkins (-16). Bench Boost with Dallas, Raphinha, Bamford

    Essentially getting 5 DGW players is an extra 2 points per player, so it comes down to a -6, with 5 players having an extra game.
    If I don't bench boost, I will WC GW25, BB GW26 and will probably struggle to put out a team for GW29.

    Son, Raphina (bench) -> KDB, 4.6m (bench)?

    For a hit? Will TC KDB

  23. Eastman

    Kane/Laca > Antonio/Vardy -4? Have Son.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not selling Kane and I'm using BB

  24. Old Bull

    There has to be quite a high chance of Grealish picking up his fifth YC soon

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They said that about Costa every week several seasons ago

        Wow what a memory you revived. He kept scoring for fun while I avoided him for that reason 😀

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I remember because I avoided too

            same

            3 years, 2 months ago

            I remember cos I kept him. And I kept him through the rumours of him moving to China when he scored a brace or two through that time.

            I believe if in doubt you’re probably better off sticking in general in fpl

          The only time I've avoided a player because I just didn't lile them.

  25. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I think the main decisions this week will be:

    1. Bench boost or not
    2. Selling Kane and Son for double players e.g. Salah + Vardy

    1. Silva’s Left Nut
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Right now I’m leaning towards
      1) no
      2) yes

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Same lol.

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

      1. Will BB
      2. Not planning to sell Kane or Son and going without Salah

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        The thing is, Salah is one of like 2 players who is capable of getting a 20 point haul in one game.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yet 7pts total last 3

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

            Doesn't make that statement any less true.

  26. Silva’s Left Nut
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is it nuts to consider Kane & son —> martial & KDB for a -4?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB is fine, but i'd go for someone other than Martial, as he is injury prone.

    2. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It sounds extra large jumbo nuts to me

  27. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts?

    Kane + Grealish to KDB + Antonio

    Was kinda set on it until Villa v Newcastle got announced but now not sure

  28. Letsgo!

    Do u think sterliing and foden is gd enough for dgw?

  29. Watk‘Ings
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Current team:
    Martinez (McCarthy)
    Robertson - Zouma - Coufal (Dallas) (Balbuena)
    Fernandes - Salah - Son - Grealish (Anguissa)
    Bamford - Vardy - Watkins

    Debating taking a -12 and going with a bench boost to the following:
    Martinez - Ederson
    Robertson - Zouma - Coufal - Dallas - Stones
    Fernandes - Salah - Grealish - Foden - Soucek
    Bamford - Watkins - Vardy

    Am I mad?

    a) Keep current team, hold BB and bank FT
    b) -12, Go for mega points with Ederson, Stones, Soucek & Foden all having a good chance to rack up goals and many clean sheets.
    c) Son to Soucek or DGW.

    1. Watk‘Ings
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      *Son to Soucek For DGW. Will likely upgrade Soucek to DeBrunye after DGW.

    Kane and Son are usually injured/suspended around this time of the year, this season they're making it difficult.

    1. _Ninja_

      The good thing about them is they don't share points with other team mates. They just hog any points that come along.
