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.

    With Leeds getting humiliated by by Crawley 3-0 in the cup last weekend, anyone thinking Leeds will blow a depleted Brighton apart with at least 3 goals?

    1. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      ask Pep how to do that.

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

        Leeds are a better attacking team than City so far this season

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

      Haha. Good logic. Could fire them up.

      Haha no I think all games are gonna be a bit tighter and lower scoring based on this week's performances. Covid, packed schedule, no fans, weather all playing a part.

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

        Leeds Cup game was on Sunday so they've had a good rest.

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

        That's unfortunate, probably still BB with triple Leeds attack

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

      No I don't. I think Brighton will win.

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

        Based on the performance against City?

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

    Would you bench boost this?
    Mccarthy Raphinia Adams Dallas

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. 2OLEgend
      • 3 Years

      Yes.

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years

      Yes

    4. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years

      Yup

    5. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It’s not bad I think. Southampton v Leeds game cancelled really screwed you didn’t it!

    6. JOELIO8701
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have this bench and was about to say no lol

  3. Viper
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lowton, Son & Kane -> Cancelo, KDB & Antonio (-8).

    Yay/Nay?

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

      No way

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

      Yes for me

    3. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not for me. In isolation could work, deffo not long term IMO.

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

    Bottomed.

    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. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Like you say, Vardy's fixtures look nice after the DGW too. I'm considering him.

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

      I’d say B but you’ll be worried every week after this without A

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

      Werner is utter tripe

    4. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m keeping Kane. He’ll just keep ticking along scoring points regardless of opposition.

      But rest of the team will be DGWers

    5. The Hunt
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No. I bottomed you...so to speak.

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

      Thanks everyone!

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

      Werner is never the best option.

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

    Anything wrong here on FH? Anyone?

    Mendy
    Robertson/ coufal/ Stones/ Zouma
    KDB/ Salah/ Bruno/ Foden
    Firmino/ Antonio

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

      Very good. A personal dislike for firmino as I like strikers who score. Other than that, mustard.

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

        Agree. He’ll only be getting a 1 week run out and can’t afford Mane

    2. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Foden to Soucek, Firmino to Vardy? Never comfortable with Firmino as a FF option.

      Otherwise looks great.

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

        Cheers both. I just took Soucek out for Foden....

    3. Hits Magnet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure I'd want to double up on Chelsea with 2 away games and I don't think you need Firmino if you have Salah and Robertson... for a free hit I'd prefer to get some Leicester cover

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

        Change keeper/ defender for a Leicester option?

        1. Hits Magnet
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          teah, I'd change Mendy for either the West Ham or Leic keeper .... and I'd try to get cash for Firmino to Vardy

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

      Can you get Rashford over Firmino and play 1 up top? I’m looking at Pulisic, not sure if he’d interest you. Prefer him to Firmino myself.

  6. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Son, DCL and Che Adams > Vardy, Antonio and Foden (-8) seem worth it?

    Foden or Soucek?

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

      Foden now, Soucek maybe long term value and safety?

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

      A hit to get those players out is worth it, not sure that is the route I'd go

      1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I hear you, but the options feel limited. Any better thoughts?

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

      Risky. Pep is notorious.

      1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, been burnt plenty. This season alone.

  7. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Could Liverpool vs Man U be a goal fest? My heart is saying Salah (C)

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably a tight game, but im still captaining Salah, more rest than KDB too.

      1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I don't trust KDB to get anywhere near 180 mins either. Whereas Salah....

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

      If KDB plays he’s defo the pick on fixtures.... but who knows if he will - the problem with the fixtures being so easy!

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ole will go even more counter attack style than usual. Wouldnt be surprised if Dan Trash James starts

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

      It could be tbh. United defence is leaky and we know Pool will get caught with their high line.v

    5. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I doubt it. But my record for predicting anything this season is shocking. Could be! 😀

      1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm going Salah (C) for what it's worth.

        1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Just put TC on him....may well remove it come morning

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

      I think it could be.

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

    Funny how the cheapest possible playing bench options beat most of the teams who spent money on a decent sub

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

    2.5m in the bank, who to take out for KDB

    A. Bruno
    B. Mane
    C. Son

    Team:
    McCarthy
    TAA Coufal Dallas
    Salah Mane Bruno Son Soucek
    Adams Bamford

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

      Mane

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tough to move any of those 3. Gun to my head then Son as he only has a single (bloody excellent) fixture

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

    Need to take a hit for Welbeck and Balbuena.. Which one?
    A) Brewster and AWB
    B) Brewster and Creswell
    C) Douglas and Antonio

  11. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Going cold on TC this week. Salah in poor form, Bruno has a very tough fixture & KDB flattering to deceive + was too tired to take a pen last game.

    May just try to get 10DGWers + Kane and play no chips.

    How do these transfers look (-4)?
    Sterling > Salah
    Dier > Stones
    Bamford > Antonio

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

      Can you just do Dier, Sterling > Stones, Salah for free?

      1. thegaffer82
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, can do that. Just like Antonio after post lock-down heroics last season

      2. Captain Vantastic™
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Hey Tom. Do you also prefer KDB over Salah captain this week as per the poll? I'm tempted by Salah.

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

          I'm siding towards Salah right now mate, not definite tho.

          1. Captain Vantastic™
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Thank you. I'm pretty sure I'll be going with Salah.

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

      Don't like losing Bamford. I would do the other two moves

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

      Isn't Sterling good chance to play both games?

    4. Hits Magnet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      you're in the same boat as many people, the urge of the double games is making you take out players with great fixtures this week.... Dier plays a team that can't score, Sterling could score 10+ points and Bamford is at home in a game that Leeds could score 4 goals in..... and you're going to take 4 points to make these moves???

      We are not sure anybody is going to play 180mins in these games so I'm not sure if losing players with such positives for a hit will work out ..... well that the conclusion I've come to with my spurs and Leeds players

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

    Stones unlikely to rise tonight correct? At 89.7 on FPLstats.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He wasn’t even close when I looked on footballfix earlier!?

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

        He's been creeping up, 91.0 now

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

    Is Dawson worth buying?

    Need to replace Balbuena (4.5)

    Already have Coufal & don’t fancy double WHU defence after the double...

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

      If you can't stretch the budget and will BB then yes go for Dawson. Balbuena lost his place and I think he is still self isolating

  14. joey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Current lot is

    Martinez Johnstone

    Robbo Cancelo Coufal

    Salah KDB Bruno Grealish Soucek

    DCL Bamford Brewster

    BB was the original plan but lost a FT as I had to FH this week. Worth a -8 to do Dallas, DCL and Brewster to Stones, Watkins and Antonio and use the BB? Leaves Dier as the only sgw against Sheffield United which I'm fine with

      Soucek

    2. wulfrunian

      Fornals/Barnes for me.

      Harvey Barnes could do well. DGW with Leeds and Fulham shortly after.

    4. OleBall

      Barnes worth a punt

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

      As mentioned Barnes is a good shout now that Praet is injured. Praet was the one who would randomly replace him in the line up when Rodgers tweaked the system.

      I would say B with Stones mainly because I think triple City for the next 5 GWs at least is a must ..... is it possible to get KDB/Stones/De Gea in?? would be 3 great DGW players

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

        Not unless i go -12

    How nailed is Stones?

    Would it be better to pick up him or Dias?

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

      Dias is more nailed but Stones is pretty nailed for now, just a matter of money

    Bench boost yay or nay?

    Mccarthy Alioski Bissouma Taylor*

    Tempted to go for it, if it gets me 10 points that a win for me and I no longer have to have bench boost in mind for the rest of the season

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

      I wouldn't, bench isn't strong enough IMO.

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

      Nay

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

      No for me.

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

      Nah don't think so. It's not like there's a lot of money there to be redistributed after BB anyway, that's some bargain basement stuff. If save it for later when you can plan for it a bit better

    Son dcl Taylor > kdb Brewster stones for -8? Might be worth it as it’s a dgw and all long term moves?

    Martinez
    Robbo zouma Dallas coufal

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years

      Not keen on a -8 involving Brewster. However, I definitely wouldn’t want to be without KDB & Stones this DGW either. So you may as well

    Son & Kane > KDB & Antonio

    Is Stones nailed for 2 games? If not who’s the safest defender? No Ederson please

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

      No safe City defender

    Cityless is madness? 🙂

      Dias.

    2. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dias

  26. Captain Vantastic™

    I think Cancelo might miss out one of the games. Surely Walker will start one

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

      Yeah, just gotta hope Cancelo moves to the left when Walker starts, but I think he'll sit one out too.

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

      Cancelo usually plays LB with Walker RB.

      Issue is Zinchenko is back from injury

    3. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure anyone safe. Probably Dias and Ederson from the back line.

  27. hogree
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bamford + McCarthy --> Antonio + Mendy? (-4)

    How's that look? Saints fixtures looking dodgier

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

      Not so keen on that one mate.

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

        sure thing. Just Bamford to Antonio better? Or Dallas to Stones?

          I'm a bit wary of losing anyone from Leeds this week, though I prefer the Dallas > Stones move out of the two.

  28. T88MYE

    Should I BB? 0FT .3 ITB

    DDG
    Dias Stones Dier Justin
    KDB Bruno Soucek Salah
    Watkins Antonio

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      Don't think I would, why would you play Dier over Son?

  29. Champions League Varane

    KDB is literally the only player I can captain this week lol

    Who’s everyone going with.?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      I'm going with Kev.

    2. Big boy Bowen
