The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice to Double Gameweek 25

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout Guide to Double Gameweek 25 ahead of today’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

Leeds United and Southampton are the two teams with the extra fixture – the Saints travel to Elland Road on Tuesday evening.

The other main talking point as we plot our moves for the current round of fixtures and beyond, is the potential of more Double Gameweeks in the near future. Pep Guardiola hinted that Gameweeks 26 and 27 will be Doubles for his side but at the time of writing, we await confirmation from the Premier League.

Captain Candidates

Patrick Bamford (£6.9), Raphinha (£5.4m) and Danny Ings (£8.5m) are the leading trio in the captain poll, with the highly-owned Bamford the popular choice.

The best-value forward in FPL, returning over 19.1 points per million spent, Bamford has garnered over 50 per cent of the vote. This in itself poses Fantasy managers an intriguing shield/sword dilemma:

[Bamford]’s currently in just over 53 per cent of teams, the bulk of those will captain him so if you don’t captain Bamford you will probably get pretty much no ranking gain from him, [and] you could possibly get a red arrow if there’s a surge of support in people drafting him in. Whereas Raphinha was in under three per cent of teams [so] if you captain him the gains could be absolutely huge.

– Joe, Captaincy Video

The potential for either Leeds player to do well is there, especially in that Tuesday fixture. As Jan pointed out in his Captain Sensible article, Southampton have given up 11 big chances in the last four matches, the joint-most in the Premier League, while only Liverpool have a worse expected goals conceded (xGC) figure.

Encouraging stuff. But two bits of team news could influence our decisions.

Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that Kalvin Phillips (£4.9m) will miss the first match against Wolves and could possibly sit out the Southampton game too. While Ralph Hasenhüttl revealed that Southampton will be without Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.7m) for a few weeks. 

Without Kalvin Phillips they are really not the same team, he is the guy that holds the whole thing together both defensively and going forward … he’s missed five games this year and … Bamford’s blanked in three of those five games so it makes me a bit worried about him.

– David, Captaincy Video

Speaking on the Scoutcast, “professor of LeedsSeb, as he was dubbed by Joe, conceded that Phillips offers more than Pascal Struijk (£3.9m) in an attacking sense. But, nonetheless, his optimal Leeds trio for the Double would be Bamford, Raphinha and Jack Harrison (£5.5m).

The absence of Walker-Peters is good news for Harrison in particular. The Saints have conceded 17 chances down their right flank over their last four matches and with Walker-Peters missing out, it means we could see one of the centre-backs filling in.

Although, Brazilian Raphinha could also benefit:

Harrison and Raphinha have swapped sides a couple of times in the last few matches … Harrison was obviously subbed off last match … but Raphinha actually moved to the left with Hélder Costa coming on the right, so there is a chance you’ll see Raphinha on the left.

And on Harrison himself, his last two goals I believe, certainly his last goal, came straight down the middle. So if he’s up against the weak full-back that might be more for the assist [but] for the actual goals we might see him making those runs through the middle.

So I think realistically, what’s the crux of this conversation, it’s all quite close. Get the three attackers if you can, if you can’t get Bamford and Raphinha.

– Seb

Raphinha and Harrison touch heatmap last four matches

When it comes to deciding who to captain, it’s worth noting that Raphinha takes corners while Bamford is expected to stay on penalty duties.

No Premier League team has conceded more spot-kicks this season than Wolves (seven). And Southampton are not doing particularly well in that department, either, having given up four penalties  in 2020/21.

But Danny Ings should not be discounted, the Saints talisman has recorded six attempts on goal in his last two Premier League fixtures, including three big chances. And Southampton’s high-press could prove effective against Leeds, as Arsenal discovered in Gameweek 24 scoring four goals. 

Speaking on FPL Black Box, Pro Pundit Mark revealed that he is contemplating buying Ings with one of his two free transfers, factoring in that Southampton may have three Double Gameweeks in the next four. Although, as Greyhead noted in the 100th edition of The Great and The Good, how many of us will trust Danny Ings’ fragile hamstring to manage two games in quick succession?

And, as Jamie pointed out in his Members-only analysis of Southampton, if Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side are to get the best out of Ings, then they will need to create more chances, with the Saints creation ranking near the bottom in their last six matches.

Nonetheless, Ings is the only Southampton player included in the Scout Picks starting XI alongside a triple up of Bamford, Raphinha and Stuart Dallas (£5.0m) from Marcelo Bielsa’s troops.

Pro Pundit Plans

Along with Jack Harrison, the other players who could exploit the weakness down Southampton’s right side are Timo Werner (£9.2m) and Marcos Alonso (£5.7m).

I get the feeling that [Alonso] could drop a 15-pointer in any game if he continues in the same attacking vein. It looks like Tuchel is going to persist with the 3-4-3 formation and his comments with regards to Alonso seems particularly encouraging.

– Lateriser

As high-flying Pro Pundit Andy mentioned, the Spaniard offers massive potential at both ends of the pitch if you can cope with him missing the odd game.

Chelsea were picked out by both Andy and Lateriser due to their appealing fixtures, despite a difficult-looking Gameweek 26.

West Brom, Leeds and Palace are all in the bottom three for expected goals conceded this season, with Everton the seventh-worst team in the league. The fixtures from Gameweek 27 look prime for goals.

– Andy

Werner, who has started Chelsea’s last four matches under new boss Thomas Tuchel, has accumulated the joint-highest number of big chances (five) over the last four Gameweeks. 

Lateriser also noted that for those who are not Wildcarding in Gameweeks 25/26, there is a decent fixture swing in Gameweek 31, and it could be a good time to Wildcard. Something fellow Pro Pundit Az is planning to do, his thinking no doubt supported by some colourful spreadsheets!

Meanwhile, Werner was not one of the forward options being considered by Hall of Fame No 1 Fábio Borges.

The consistent top 10,000 manager is looking to replace the injured Michail Antonio (£6.6m) in his side and, after running the rule over several candidates, it boiled down to getting Danny Ings now or benching Antonio before buying Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) for Double Gameweek 26.

Community Competitions and Head-to-Head Fixtures

This is your last chance to enter the open-to-all Fantasy Football Scout Cup with qualifying for the first round taking place in Gameweek 25. Qualifying for the Members Cup – entry for Premium Members only – gets underway in Gameweek 26.

A total of £300 in prizes is available across the two tournaments.

RedLightning rounded-up the latest Community mini-leagues and competitions.

Impressively, the two main FFScout mini-leagues are the top two Leagues in FPL, followed by Andy’s own mini-league. Well done to the top five managers in each of those mini-leagues.

There’s been another small tweak this week by Mat (aka matzi11a) to the fixtures and results displayed on the Head-to-Head Leagues main page.

From now on the scores and tables will update each night, so managers can see how they are getting on as the Gameweek unfolds.

The fixtures for Gameweek 25 can be found below:

Use the drop-down menus to show your league and division. To find out which league and division you are in, follow the instructions on the main Head-to-Head page.

Once the Gameweek starts, if you click on your opponent’s name you will be linked to their team on the FPL website.

May your arrows be green!

        B) Play Gundo with Barnes first sub. I don't really see Gundo coming on for 2 min cameo, he's either fit (and he'll start) or not (and then you get Barnes anyway).

        1. Muchentuchel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          thanks! That's what I thought too. If he's out from the start Pep won't bring him in.
          They have KDB back and that's enough for them.

      Behind my ML rival by 40 points. He will most likely captain Bamford. Should i captain:

      a) Raphina (take the risk now)
      b) Bamford (take risk later, avoid him possibly extending the lead)

      Which Leeds attacker is best captaincy choice?
      A. Bamford (majority view)
      B. Raphina (differential)

      1. Muchentuchel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        If you're leading: A
        If you're chasing: A

      2. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A

      3. dark91
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A for safety

      4. Peteski29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A

      5. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A.

        Plenty of debate on here in recent days as to who has the best recent stats. It depends what stats people are looking at, but it’s close.

        Penalties always swings it for me in a captaincy decision.

      7. Huckfead
        • 5 Years

        I just prefer B on watching Leeds in their past 2/3 games

    13. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      Play one:

        I'd just go with gut on the second one.

        Tempted to say the same on the first one too really. Gundogan

          Haha thanks. Just hope Gundo doesn't start

      2. Muchentuchel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        tough one... I'd probably play Gündo if he's on 100%

        1. Kermit Special
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Leaning towards this. If match was on Saturday I would bench but Sunday does mean there is a chance. Plus if he isn't fit he won't start or come on, so Son is subbed on.

      Just saw he wasnt on last training and that he might not be playing this GW...

    2. DIMITRIS
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not IMO. If on a WC go for TAA and someone else cheaper in that Grealish spot.

    3. Elfozzie 42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      If this injury news is true, and it's looking relatively credible so far, then that's a No.
      If you can afford to wait out for official news this week I'd be tempted to.

  9. makivelja

    1. Elfozzie 42

    1. Henning

      Raphinha Bamford or Fernandes

    2. rubberdignerapids

      Raph before Donatello, Leonardo and Michaelangelo

    McCarthy
    Dallas, Cancelo, Tarko

      Soucek to Raphinha for a -4 for me?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I probably would boss. He looks class.

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m stuck on who to start between Cancelo and Dias. Former is due a rest, and is more likely to be subbed on for a cameo... but has higher ceiling if he starts...

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I think this is a good point tbf. Tricky

      2. Scooby75
        • 4 Years

        I’m starting Dias, cancelo benched think pep will redt

  12. Tricky FC
    • 7 Years

    Bench grealish or gundogan

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Both wont feature

    2. makivelja
      • 4 Years

      I also think both of them will rest this gw...

    1. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Rumored injury and out of training.

  14. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years

    Have Pope. Play Mee or Cresswell?

  15. Elfozzie 42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What's the thinking on non-Bamford captaincy.
    I'm toying with Raphina at present as a differential - I think he has every chance of outscoring Bamford, but then again Bamford is a safer 'cover' option.

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I going for Raph

    2. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Too scary for me - Bamford has 3 14 and over scores, Raph has one 13.
