The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for Double Gameweek 19

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout Guide to Double Gameweek 19 ahead of today’s 11:00 GMT deadline.

The fixture schedule has shifted once again. Like a surreal game of Grandmother’s Footsteps, it’s moved every time you turn to look at it. 

Aston Villa lost and regained their Double Gameweek in a matter of hours, although they now face Newcastle United instead of Everton in addition to Manchester City. But the clever fixture juggling did not extend to Leeds United and Southampton, with their upcoming midweek game postponed to accommodate Southampton’s rescheduled FA Cup tie.

During these testing times, we can expect further changes with little warning.

In a letter sent last week, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters alerted clubs that they should plan for more matches being postponed or rearranged at short notice. And a joint statement from the Premier League, FA and EFL, restated the desire to complete the season in May.

So, who knows what twists and turns await? Could we yet see Leeds vs Southampton rearranged for Gameweek 19?

Shrewsbury, already without their manager Steve Cotterill for Tuesday’s tie, may suffer more ill-effects from coronavirus (COVID-19), or, by some miracle, could the Shrews beat Southampton on Tuesday? However unlikely, Leeds and Southampton would then both have a free weekend slot.

But that might be taking ‘Fantasy’ football a step too far. Sticking with what we know, here’s Legomané’s updated fixture ticker:

‘TBA’ fixtures Possible Gameweek Slots
Aston Villa v Everton24-to-28, 30-to-34, 37
Aston Villa v Tottenham Hotspur 26, 32, 37
Burnley v Fulham24-to-28, 30-to-34, 37
Everton v Manchester City24, 26, 27, 32, 37
Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur26, 32, 37
Leeds United v Southampton24-to-28, 30-to-34, 37
Manchester City v Southampton24, 26, 27, 32, 37

Triple Gameweek Scenario

Future Double Gameweeks, and possibly Triple Gameweeks, await Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City.

The two sides contest the EFL Cup final (coinciding with Gameweek 33), and are both still in the FA Cup and European competitions: should they progress to the latter stages, Spurs will potentially have to squeeze five matches into three available Gameweek slots, and Man City would have to fit five games into five free slots.

So no COVID-19 leeway and additional fixture shenanigans could lie ahead.

To Bench Boost or not to Bench Boost?

After the latest changes, a question facing many managers – and one tackled by our Scoutcast trio of Joe, Seb, and Karam – is now that Leeds and Southampton don’t have two matches in Gameweek 19, is it still worth using the Bench Boost?

The thing is, if you already Wildcarded in Gameweek 16, and you set up your team to Bench Boost, you need something bigger than this to back out from it. Because it’s one of the chips that if you don’t do it now, you will wait for another chance [and] you might have a lot of funds remain on your bench.

– Karam

Leeds-fan Seb added:

Ideally I want to be Bench Boosting all 15 players for double, unless someone crazy has got a great fixture, [but] often they might be more expensive, so typically you’re going to have medium to cheap assets on the bench, that’s the goal … On Leeds, so I think if you’ve been forced into this a little bit and you still want to use that Bench Boost, it’s not terrible. They’re playing Brighton at home … if you’ve got Bamford, Dallas, and Raphina on your bench maybe that is a Bench Boost – Bamford could score three!

However not all managers feel the same. Pro Pundit Az has been reduced to eight Double Gameweek players, scuppering any hopes he had for using the chip.

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.

Instead the co-host of FPL BlackBox is contemplating using his Triple Captain. But Manchester United go to Liverpool with Bruno Fernandes (£11.3m) a booking away from a one-match ban, and Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is out of form. Although both sides have favourable second fixtures against Fulham and Burnley respectively.

Buying Manchester City Players

The other challenge facing Az and those like Pro Pundit Darren Wiles, who used their first Wildcard late to set up a Gameweek 19 Bench Boost, is how to accommodate Manchester City players?

The Citizens didn’t feature in Darren’s original plans, given that they had just a single Gameweek before their fixture with Aston Villa was rearranged.

But they’ve since come into form with an eye-catching 3-1 win away to Chelsea, and Pep Guardiola’s side have now kept six clean sheets in their last eight matches, giving them the best defensive record in the league.

Ahead of enticing homes matches against Crystal Palace and West Brom, Jan Sienkiewicz sides with the captain poll in backing De Bruyne with the armband:

De Bruyne is a truly world class player and it should be only a matter of time before he matches his outstanding underlying statistics. With two home games against non-top-six sides, Manchester City should continue their winning run and De Bruyne is expected to be at the heart of the action.

All this leads Darren, in his latest article, to contemplate a minus 12 to bring in Kevin De Bruyne (£11.8m), Rúben Dias (£5.8m), John Stones (£5.0m) and Michail Antonio (£6.2m) for Harry Kane (£11.1m), Marcus Rashford (£9.6m), Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.8m) and Fabián Balbuena (£4.4m).

I am not rushing into any decisions but I feel multiple hits could be on the cards in order to get two or three Manchester City players in prior to the Double Gameweek and as part of my long term thinking.

– Darren

But the Live Hall of Fame No 2 remains undecided on whether to use the Bench Boost as it would include players like Che Adams (£6.0m), who is available for selection after recovering from concussion.

Tasty Transfers

In direct contrast to Darren’s multiple hit, Former FPL Champion Simon March used Marshmallows to demonstrate that patience is a virtue.

A graduate in behavioural economics, Simon referred to the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment in which children were given the choice of eating a marshmallow now or instead being given a second marshmallow in 15 minutes.

When they followed up 10 years later, the scientists found that the children who delayed gratification and waited for the second marshmallow, had scored better in their SATs, performed better in school generally and even had healthier BMIs.

Pro Pundit Simon likened this to wise FPL managers who save their chips for later in the season (traditionally the better time to play them), and the benefits of rolling a transfer.

Aside from giving you more flexibility in who you can sign, potentially shifting funds to different areas of your team, it also buys you an extra Gameweek of information and more thinking time.

Fantasy Favourite

A player both Darren and Az are tempted by is Michail Antonio. West Ham enjoy an appealing pair of fixtures in Gameweek 19, at home to Burnley and West Brom, but the question mark, as ever, is over Antonio’s fitness.

Ted Talks FPL offered some encouragement, observing that:

With Haller joining Ajax, West Ham must be confident that 1.9% owned Antonio must be back to full fitness, certainly in the short-term. He looks to be an excellent pick for Double Gameweek 19.

Pro Pundits Tom and Andy agreed, giving the Hammers striker the nod:

Michail Antonio is a bit of a favourite of mine and now he’s fit and got through 90 minutes I can’t leave him out. He’s averaging 0.47xG per 90 minutes so far this season. It’s down on 2019/20, but still excellent given his price. – Andy

I’m also backing Michail Antonio. Though he looks short of match fitness, he needs games, and as West Ham United’s only recognised striker, should see enough minutes across the two fixtures. – Tom

While Big Man Bakar, who was looking dashing in pink on the latest installment of The FPL Wire, reminded us of Antonio’s excellent early season form, despite the tricky start.

But is it too soon to take the plunge?

Team News

Frustratingly, as Colm Hayes noted in his press conference round-up, David Moyes did not provide a specific update on his injury-prone centre-forward, leaving Fantasy bosses wondering what to do.

In other news, Anthony Martial (£8.8m) and Pedro Neto (£6.0m) are doubts after suffering knocks in Gameweek 17. But both may still feature this weekend.

And Joel Matip (£5.4m) could return to Liverpool’s backline depending on how well he does in the next two training sessions.

Finally, new Fantasy Football Scout writer Jamie, ran the rule over Manchester United’s latest signing Amad Diallo and assessed the impact Robert Snodgrass (£5.7m) could make under Sam Allardyce at West Brom.

Community Competitions and Head-to-Head Fixtures

RedLightning rounded-up the latest Community mini-leagues and competitions in a hot topic yesterday.

The January to May League, which started scoring in Gameweek 17, remains open for those who want to track their progress until the end of the season. The code to join is h62bh1. The current leader is Denville Tyrell, who has risen from 29,903rd to 5,121st in the last two Gameweeks.

      Yes

      What’s the time on your planet?

  2. Digital-Real

    it's true, BB is a waste of space.

    1. Penang Sandman
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      next season ill be doing BB first GW for sure

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        i was planning that this season, city, utd not playing GW1 stopped that.
        BB in first game week is the only time in the season you can play two chips at once.

        1. Penang Sandman
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          oh ya forgot the City United fixtures, i was planning on em as well.
          Lucky me went on FH this week without a playing GK

        2. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Only problem is you dont know which teams are good, bad, mediocre.

          For ex, didnt expect Leeds to be so attacking in gw1. So 2 livpool defenders would be a bust on bb.

      2. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        The only reason this happened is because of covid, don't let that cloud your judgement for next seasons planning.

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Johnstone does not define a BB.

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

        It's like 4 points max dropped probs, don't see why that fussed. For the bench boosters it's the Leeds game which is the one likely to determine if right decision or not

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah if someone like Cresswell misses out then I'll be annoyed as I'm expecting big pts from him this week. Johnstone was just someone there that happened to have a double.

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

      Bench boost ruined before a ball is kicked, unbelievable

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

    Johnstone already killing some BB dreams :/ 😀

    Let's go guys. I took a gamble bringing in Caveleiro a week earlier than planned (Soucek stay quiet please):

    Areola
    AWB - Dias - Stones - Coufal
    Salah (C) - KDB - Bruno - Caveleiro
    Kane - Antonio

    (Martínez, Holding, Smith Rowe, Brewster)

    1. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years

      GL!

  4. Free Hat
    • 5 Years

    West brom without their best player this season bodes well for West ham players lets hope.

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

      Providing no further cases at West Brom that jeopardise fixture

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

    Johnatone covid

    Button starts next game too

  6. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If Button does well then Johnstone could permanently lose his spot.

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

      seriously doubt it. Johnstone has been their best player all season.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This is Big Sam's team now. And Johnstone was poor vs Arsenal.

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Johnstone been West Brom’s best player I’d say

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

      Not going to pretend I watch a lot of WBA, but wasn't Johnstone their best player?

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

      It's all in the cards a WBA CS this game.

  7. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This is the benefit of having a strong bench during covid season. Meslier in for Johnstone!

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Doesn’t matter how strong it is if you’re on BB

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        The case against BB rn

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

    Anyone bench boosted with Button?

    Imagine the jam

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

      Imagine you leaving this site.

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

      Could end up negative point, mind!

  9. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Johnstone was getting maximum 3 points this game it’s hardly season over is it

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

      Will probably miss the next one too btw

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

      6 points 2 games is quite bad.

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      This. Worse to come

    4. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And the next one? Those 6 extra pts would've been valuable.

    5. Kavorka
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Chances of CS always there with Big Sam

  10. Rochdale_Cowboy

      Haha brilliant

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

    The thing is that keeper is the best position in the BB that's why i am so frustrated...When the gw starts like that i can't imagine what else will happen.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, one of the main reasons I didn't bench-boosted was the keeper position since I have Forster. Bad beat mate, nothing wrong with you decision making process.

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

      Why is the keeper position the best in a BB?

  14. Niho992

    Glad i didnt waste my BB.... still

  15. OverTinker

    I am proud of myself. There was cold sunshine outside and we went for a family walk without even checking FFS or FPL or Twitter. Just came to see that the deadline has passed.

    There is life besides FPL after-all, even for fpl addicts like us.

    I think have captained Salah. So be it. Saturday thinking rarely results in something good.

    What is your FPL Saturday routine? Do you do good decision on Saturday or you don't touch your FPL squad at all?

    Cheers, the rejuvenated FPL addict Daniel 😉

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years

      I spend hours painstakingly deciding my team, browsing team news and discussing options on this site prior to deadline.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, that is my usual routine too, so happy to had a different morning this time. Feels great. Let's see it.

      Have a coffee and check the players I brought in on the previous Monday aren't injured.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years

        Coffee and looking your fpl team aaaahhh such a great feeling. I feel ya mate. Great routine.

          Trouble is every week I'm convinced it's going to score me 100pts and it never does!

    4. Gobigorgohome

      I sleep wake up eat then go back to vwd
      check ffs 10 mins before deadline and lol at posters
      make last min cap change and lol again when team news come 😉

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        10 mins before the deadline is the worst. I brought El Ghazi last minute instead of selling DCL which would have been better or the initial brave move Salah to KDB before his explosion against Chelsea

    5. FeverPitch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I stay up Friday night till I’ve made all my decisions. Don’t touch my team on a saturday morning unless big news comes to light etc. Then spend the morning doing other things and getting excited for the games to start!

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That is a bit of great advice. Well said. But we ruin Friday evenings no?

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

          I enjoy the process! Have a drink, compare some stats, settle on a decision. I love that. All about getting to the point where you know why you’re making the call you are, and then what will be will be. Then Saturday mornings are just excitement

    6. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't touch anything, unless there are confirmed news.

      For over six years my friends and I go to a bar and watch every game on Saturday.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That is the spirit. I try to follow that path as much as I can.

    How many hits you ended up taking? - 4 here and only 7dgw's.

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

      0 all season!

      1. Mika-eel
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nice. Don't like hits myself. 3rd of the season, can become addictive, especially it it works.

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

          I am a very conservative player, so I don't take hits unless I can't field 11 players in any given gameweek. I typically plan transfers weeks in advance so I don't have to take hits.

          1. FPL_Crisis

      -12 for BB with 13 DGWers

      1. Mika-eel
        • 6 Years

        Good luck! Hope one of those hits wasn't Johnstone.

      -12, my first and definitely last one this season.

      1. Mika-eel
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        -12 just too much for me. Good luck, hope it works out for you!!

      I did -12 LAST week, for players (City, United) who had a GW18 fixture plus a double. Between them the four players I brought in scored a slightly underwhelming 17 points, but still 5 points up on the hit.

      No hits this week. I also only have 7DGWs, but very happy with my SGWs. Have bench-boosted. See how it goes...!

        Hopefully some green arrows for us then. Good luck!

      -12 here on BB
      12 dgw players + Leeds trio
      Feel at least -8 will pay off due to non players

      1. Mika-eel
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Expecting big things from Leeds. Don't have any West Ham.

        Good luck with your BB HMC.

          Likewise.
          Triple Leeds
          Triple West Ham
          Quite the mixed bag so far!

    How is Mr Sutherns going to jam out of this one? Maybe some sort of Tom Cruise Mission Impossible mask after an 11 point performance we find out Button was actually Johnstone?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      Great discussion for the next blackbox

    2. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years

      Johnstone will take a penalty somehow in the next one.

  19. Brosstan

    Johnstone owners punished for getting the GK from the worst team in the league

    1. Vlekz

        Have the balls to link your team

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

          no I have too many haters. Im 700k on bb without Johnstone if you want to know

          1. Vlekz
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Why will someone hate a saint like you? And aren't people on hated/punished for crap decisions only? You probably don't make them. Just link it bro

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

                Im like Jesus. They hate me because I tell them the truth.

                1. Vlekz
                    3 years, 2 months ago

                    Pretty sure that wouldn't stop Jesus from linking his team atleast.
                    You are such a wuss. A billion comments on everyone, but scared of others commenting on your hopeless team

                      3 years, 2 months ago

                      You are just proving why Im not linking my team lol, admitting you are just going to look for something to criticize because you are mad I called out Johnstone as a bad pick.

                      1. Vlekz
                          3 years, 2 months ago

                          I don't even have Johnstone. You are a wuss. Nobody cares if you keep commenting and have the balls to show your team. But a ball-less wuss like you, should seriously stop commenting/criticising others till you can link your team

              How? He could have ended up in negative points

            Did anyone bench boost with Button (assuming no keeper)?

            Would be amazing,

            Johnstone's got a poorly johnson apparently

            Button off the bench if Martinez has COVID

            Wasted a -4 on Johnstone for McCarthy last night.

            Now a complete blank. Unreal.

            Imagine only mentioning it now, on the morning of the game.

            Johnstone would’ve got -2 over the 2 games. We’ve been saved 🙂 get the f in

            Starting to think bench boosting amongst all this Covid was possibly a little stupid.

            People say GK is not important, but Martinez out for Johnstone in GW 11 has hurt me so much...

              • 3 Years

              Guaita as well until 3 weeks ago.

            Chin up guys, most probably 4 points lost.

            Wow, Johnstone was my only hit this gw and the reason I decided to bb in the end.
            This season is brutal

                Probably a lot, if I have to go by my luck with postponements in recent gws.
