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.

    McCarthy to Fabianski/Martinez worth a hit?

    1. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martinez has better fixtures in the short term beyond having a dgw. I wld on the basis on getting it back within 4-5 weeks

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Would be WCin around GW24/25. So, would need upto that.

    2. ALegendJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Yes imo

  2. Ozzy smith

    I’m going to have to bench Neto and one of Holding/Dallas this week. Can feel the pain coming already!

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm benching Holding and Alioski and can definitely see them getting something

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

      Im benching both Dallas and Ayling, wont be fun

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

    The fact is that ManCity's performances were good and they have two home fixtures against opponents who are not going to sit back.I don't know if there will be a better time to use the TC chip.

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

      And there is no way that Kdb will get a full rest.The most possible scenario is 70 and 90 minutes.

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Most city fans (on city forums) think Jesus will start. Dampens KDB TC appeal.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Tbh I think I'd prefer that, he's generally looked better in his normal position with an actual striker up the top of the pitch

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How will Palace not sit back?

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Palace won't sit back?

    4. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah Palace will sit back but they will concede on the counter attack.

  4. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you BB this? 11 doublers with McCarthy and triple Leeds on bench?

    Martinez *
    Cancelo* Coufal* Dias* Robertson*
    Salah* (c) Mané* Bruno* Soucek*
    Antonio* Watkins*

    McCarthy Bamford Raphinha Dallas

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      i like it. hard to imagine getting multiple double gw on a bench boost, so Leeds fixture is pretty tasty.

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

      Yes

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

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

      Yes

    4. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have the same bench but with Martinez and I'm bench boosting. I'm pondering Raphinha -> El Gazi. What do you recon?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I would worry about getting El Ghazi as we don’t know which Villa players were COVID positive and if they will be fit to return. Would keep Raphinha

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

    Thoughts on these options?

    a/
    4.0 GK > Mendy
    KWP > Coufal
    (-4)

    b/
    4.0 GK > Johnstone
    KWP > James
    (-4)

    c/
    4.0 GK > Johnstone
    KWP > Justin
    Adams > Antonio
    (-8)

    BB will be
    Bamford, Raphinha, Keeper Move, and either Adams or Antonio (for the extra hit)

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

      I like the look of A, and yeah BB sounds good then

  6. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez kane asm to sterling foden antonio for-8?
    No kdb

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      sterling has looked garbage and just missed a pen.
      why would you want to spend so much on him?

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        The thing is he will start isnt it?ignore that pen miss

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          i would have thought that Foden's performances would mean he starts. Not sure on Sterling.
          What other players would it enable? What about Vardy instead of Antonio if you went for someone cheaper?
          Gundo & Foden maybe? (seems crazy)

      2. baines is god
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Because he has a double gameweek with two great home fixtures and has scored a lot of goals for 3 seasons now (particularly tap ins in home games like Palace and Villa)

        100% a good move even for -8

        1. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Will u do that moves now or tmr?

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

        Sterling came on for such a short time I can see him starting next game

  7. WWW.
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Foden or Gundo?
    Who scores more in GW19?

    1. baines is god
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      gundogan more likely to start both games but foden more likely to get more points still

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      feels Foden is more attacking...but who knows.
      i got Foden for the FH just this week and was happy with that decision (obviously)

    3. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Think it has to be Foden at the moment

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

      I prefer Foden.

    5. WWW.
      • 10 Years

      Cheers for the replies

    6. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Foden is in red hot form

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

      Foden higher risk higher reward

  8. baines is god
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I've answered like 10 comments. Would appreciate some feedback

    Johnstone
    Stones Coufal Creswell (mitchell douglas)
    Salah Mane KDB C Foden El Ghazi
    Antonio Vardy (Davis)

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      you got a question?

      looks a solid team (assuming not a bb)

      1. baines is god
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        yeah annoyingly having to use FH so can't bench boost

        1. baines is god
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          The only one I'm sweating is Werner, would love a way to squeeze him in

          1. RogDog_jimmy
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            i don't trust werner anymore, had him for a while.

            got to prove it before i commit again.

            Seems Mane to Fernandes could free up money elsewhere, maybe a better 4th/5th defender.

            1. baines is god
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              not much point as pretty certain all my starting XI should at least get some game time and i can't BB

              1. RogDog_jimmy
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                More so going forward after GW19.
                Covid and postponements are happening a lot...a stronger bench seems safer to avoid potential fires later. (but a personal choice for sure).

          2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Hasn't scored for 10 games and Chelsea have been pretty poor of late, wouldn't worry at all

    2. WWW.

    3. LSK

      Nice team. Prefer Bruno over Mane though. Only takes a pen against Liverpool then a haul against Fulham and you’re behind.

    4. avfc82

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good team, though El Ghazi is a bit of risk, as we don't know who has been affected at Villa, aside from Trezeguet.

      1. baines is god
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        good point, could axe him, but can't see many other good options around or below 6m

        1. avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Soucek or Lookman maybe?

          1. baines is god
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            thinking Soucek. should be guaranteed 4-6 points with a 20-40% chance of extra points or something.

            Thing is El Ghazi looks dangerous in the front 4 of villa and is on pens. Villa's expected goals for the 2 games is probably like 2.5/3 so I reckon El Ghazi is over 50% chance to be involved in a goal

            1. avfc82
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah, he's looked good... I just worry about the affects of Covid / lack of training on the team. Might be fine though, it hasn't affected Fulham.

      Borderline. Anything more than 12points is at least respectable.

      C seems fun.
      Having Vardy doesn't seem fun.
      Can always shift Foden to a similar price mid later on....there are many good value at that price.

          I'm interested as considering getting Watkins ahead of Antonio, it's the lack of info about how COVID has effected the Villa team that deters me.

    1. Kurt Zouma
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn’t

    2. FPL Bargain
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

    5. ALegendJ

      Yes imo

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No - looked really exhausted in last game. With heavy fixtures would not be surprised if benched for one of next 2 games

  20. Clintymints
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A. Grealish + Holding (Current team)

    Holding Dier Stones Robertson
    Salah KdB Bruno Son Grealish
    Bamford

    or

    B. Smith-Rowe (for Grealish) + Vardy (For DCL) -4

    Holding Dier Stones Robertson
    Salah KdB Bruno Son
    Bamford Vardy

    Option C is just get Antonio for DCL and take a punt?

    Any Cancelo owners worried about the recent resurgence of Zinchenko? He's been out injured for pretty much all season and now is back and has played great.

    Pep could easily start Zinchenko + Walker

      I imagine Cancelo will sit out one of the next two, it isn't based on anything though, just my opinion.

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

      City's left side was vulnerable against Brighton and Zinchenko offers nothing in attack. Mendy would be the main man at left back to rival Cancelo.

    Adams and Son -> Antonio and Salah -4? Will have 1.3 ITB

  23. FPL Bargain
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bench boost wit Mccarthy, Adams, Raphinia and Dallas?

  24. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you bench boost this?

    Martinez Lowton Dallas Bamford

    1. Kurt Zouma
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah defo

    3. FPL Bargain
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

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

      Yes

    How many of these are worth a -4 for BB?
    Effectively only -2 per move has they play an extra game. Would have to do Kane to Antonio to fund these moves.
    A) McCarthy to Martinez
    B) Balbuena to Stones
    C) Son to KDB
    D) Adams to Watkins

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

      Nah.

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

      B, C.

      A is close.

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

      All 4 in isolation are worth taking a hit to bring in imo

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      i'd say B given Balbuena may not play at all.
      Can you do B, C & Kane move? Seems good bang for the buck.

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

    What about a Dias (c) ?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      love it. only not sure the stress of 2 full games sweating a goal would be fun.

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

      Decent option but not over Salah, Kdb or Vardy

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      After they conceded that last minute goal against Chelsea, I wouldn't have the courage myself.

    4. avfc82

      • 14 Years

      Depends how you wanna play it, but realistically, what's he going to score, 12ish points? Salah or De Bruyne have the higher ceilings, IMO.

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

        Dias form matches salah @6. I don’t have KDB and I’d have to rip my team apart to get him so it’s salah or Bruno.

        With 2 big chances conceded in the last four home games the probability he’ll get 12 points is high. Salah is against two tough def. his ceiling is obviously much higher so probability of salah scoring double figures per match much higher than Dias but is Dias a safer route to 12 points ?

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

      Nah, even if City gets 2 clean sheets Salah, Fernandes, KDB can all beat 12 points in a single game without doing anything too out of the ordinary.

  27. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would you do:

    A) Burke -> Soucek (BUR WBA) for -4

    Or

    B) Play Dallas (BRI) or Adams (lei) no hit

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

      A

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

      A

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

      B love soucek

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which is the best option?

    A) Keep Kane - SHU are terrible. But no DGW.
    B) Get Vardy - DGW. Good medium term fixtures.
    C) Get Werner - DGW. But still a quality player and great fixtures.

    Does Werner still have pens?

    Thanks.

    1. Bggz

      Not c

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

    Son to Rashford or Soucek for DGW?

    A = Rashford
    B = Soucek
    C = Silence you fool.

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

      Try to get A & B

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

        Can't, I'm holding my BB and my other Mids are Grealish - Fernandes and Salah all on DGW. To get in both would require a BB and -4.
