How the top 10k FPL managers set their teams up for Double Gameweek 25

Just over one-third of the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers are tripled-up on Leeds assets for Double Gameweek 25.

According to LiveFPL.net, 34.9% of them came into the latest round of fixtures with Patrick Bamford (£6.9m), Raphinha (£5.4m) and Stuart Dallas (£5.0m) in their team.

While Friday night was not the best of starts to the Gameweek for this trio, it could still be a powerful combination be against Southampton.

A wave of investment in Raphinha appears to be the main reason for the popularity of that triple-up.

The midfielder has broken into the top 10k’s most-owned players for Double Gameweek 25 having risen to 53.5% ownership at this level.

Ilkay Gündogan‘s (£6.1m) increased from 79.3% to 85.2% suggesting very few pounced at the short-term opportunity to sell him for Leeds’ set-piece taker.

And, despite dropping to the fifth-most top-10k midfielder, Son Heung-min (£9.5m) also earned more backers, rising from 52.2% to 53.3% backing at this level.

It was Jack Grealish (£7.7m) who looks to have been a popular route to Raphinha. He was the fifth-most popular top-10k midfielder for Double Gameweek 24 with 44.2% ownership. Following Friday’s deadline, he sits in just 28.9% of squads here.

There was still some investment in Dallas and Bamford for Double Gameweek 25, solidifying their already strong presence in the top 10k.

The defender rose from 51.9% ownership to 67.6%, becoming the top 10k’s most popular defender in the process.

Bamford was already their favourite forward but still had room to increase his top-10k ownership from 88.9% to 97.9%.

Meanwhile, Danny Ings (£8.4m) has broken into the template ahead of his two fixtures, already the second-most-fashionable forward at this level (41.5%).

Despite a Double Gameweek against Southampton (home) and West Bromwich Albion (away), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m) looks to have been one of the fall guys here.

He was in 45.9% of top-10k teams for Double Gameweek 24 but resides only in 13.6% now.

And Michail Antonio (£6.6m) was almost certainly involved in Ings’ transfers considering his massive drop-off too.

65.7% of the top 10k owned the West Ham man for Double Gameweek 24 while only 36.1% still had him after Friday’s deadline.

The captaincy is something of a one-sided story in Double Gameweek 24.

82.0% of the top 10k backed Bamford with the armband, making him one of those most backed in one Gameweek so far this season. His effective ownership for the round stands at 180.7%.

The Leeds striker certainly has work to do after blanking against Wolves on Friday night.

That two-point score will certainly have eased some fears of the 6.4% of top-10k managers who captained Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m) for Double Gameweek 25.

Despite playing just once this week, the Manchester United man is preparing to face a Newcastle defence that has conceded twice in six of its last seven outings.

Raphinha was the third-highest for top-10k captaincy backing (5.5%) while Ings (2.9%) and Gündogan (0.9%) came fourth and fifth respectively.

Double Gameweek 25 Scout Picks features Leeds triple-up

It will certainly be interesting to see what transfers transpire between now and Saturday’s Double Gameweek 26 deadline.

There will be 14 teams enjoying two fixtures making for the biggest Double Gameweek of the 2020/21 season.

For all the heavy investment this week, Leeds are not one of those sides, although have a relatively favourable single Gameweek fixture at home to Aston Villa.

In total, 10 players from the matrix of 15 in the top 10k most-owned matrix have two fixtures in Double Gameweek 26, so many of the managers at this level could be approaching a stacked-enough squad to warrant a Bench Boost.

As things stand, Dallas, Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m), Raphinha, Bamford and Antonio are the five popular top-10k assets scheduled to play just once in Double Gameweek 26.

6.4% of the top 10k have already laid the groundwork for Double Gameweek 26 by playing their Wildcard.

The Free Hit and Bench Boost received very little attention this week, although we can expect a bump for both of them next time out.

Meanwhile, just 1.1% played their Triple Captain for Double Gameweek, most of them handing it to Bamford.

Considering the higher-than-usual attention for Wildcards in the top 10k this week, it is worth looking at the trends they set.

As things stand, there is a slightly higher proportion of players with two fixtures in Double Gameweek 26, with 11 of this template fitting that description compared to 10 in the main ownership matrix.

Interestingly, a large number of Wildcarders still tripled-up on Dallas, Raphinha and Bamford while Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) was also included for Southampton’s Double Gameweek 25.

The most notable differences between this Wildcard template and the rest of the top 10k appear to be 66.8% inclusion for Luke Shaw (£5.0m) and renewed interest in Spurs assets.

55.6% of these Wildcarders selected Son while 62.3% of them went for Harry Kane (£11.1m).

    Kane, KDB and DCL are my major differentials this GW. I hope they perform!

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

      Bamford is the most owned striker in the game. Have a guess who the next two are.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha! I know, but 18.9% and 15.4% EO around my rank!

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

      KDB certainly is.

      I think a lot of the wildcarders have brought Kane in.

      Everyone in my mini-leagues (who have him) seems to have benched DCL.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. A lot of DCL benchers. I took a chance with him and benched Gundo. I hope it works.

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Got Kane in as well, really hope he can get a goal + bonus would be great

      He will explode soon if he stays fit !

    4. alsybach

      DCL and Kane differentials!?
      Are you sure?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        18.9% and 15.4% EO around my rank! Definitely differentials.

  2. Free Hat

    3 years, 1 month ago

    On WC. But dont know what to do with Stones&Cancelo.

    Great fix, but with their schedule every dgw could easily be a sgw.

    And lots of cheaper dgw who are certain to start which makes the rest of the teamvalue easier...

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe get one and Ederson

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Difficult with Martinez already.
        Probably get rid of one for Villa or Fulham

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

      Get Ederson.

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Martinez already, great fix as well. Ederson too pricey for 6pointer imo.

    3. FPL Daniel

      Switch Stones with Dias

            Little squeeze of lemon and a bit of rocket too.

  4. iL PiStOlErO

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Still have TC, BB and WC chips but after seeing the games tinking of doing -8 and just get rid of that BB chip. And then in one of next gameweeks use my WC.

    Would you do Sterling+Antonio+Justin+McCarthy to Grealish+Kane+Konsa+Areola for -4?

    It gives me 11dgw* players+BB:

    Pope*
    Cancelo* Lowton* Konsa*
    Salah* Bruno* Grealish* Gundo*
    Kane(C)* Bamford Cavani*

    Areola* Raphinha Dallas Coufal (BB)

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Or maybe Sterling+Antonio+Cavani+Justin to Grealish+Kane+DCL+Konsa for -4?

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        *-8 on both scenarios, typo

    2. Nightrain_
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish is injured so maybe Kane and Areola in is enough

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I know but we have whole week agead of us, a lot can cahnge, thia is just the idea.

        Azpi, Alonso & Rüdiger nailed

    7. Ze_Austin

    Looks like the Grealish injury is all but confirmed.

    a) Grealish - Son
    Raphinha - Barnes/Maddison -4
    b) Grealish - Son
    Bamford - DCL -4
    c) Grealish to Son, no hit and BB Dallas, Raphinha, Bamford, Pope

        Had it confirmed this morning that Grealish IS injured.

        Unsure the severity/timeframe but it sounds like it’s his shin that’s he done.

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

          Maybe he’ll be back for next week.

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

            Just checked the source. Just because he’s an FPL account with 13k followers doesn’t mean it’s true. Things change.

            1. Dichio24

              • 6 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              He's ITK at Leicester with a good track record. The best indication for me is that the Villa players have sold him

                I’m not bothered if he’s out if he’s back by next week. Injury blah blah but then unsure of the severity. Not clutching at straws, just using common sense.

      I was going to go for him over Cancelo on WC but chickened out.

      Think he'll punish today!

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

        Think everyone considered him. I went with Rudiger because I wanted plans to get Kane/Vardy/DCL in and the money saved (+ the nailedness) made it a no brainer. Definitely considering getting him in a few GW's down the line.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    Alonso really making a case. I imagine Chilwell will play CL, and Alonso PL. interesting, although rotation will definitely come into play

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

      I wouldn't know what to expect in UCL.

      If Chilwell isn't getting consistent gametime now, why would he get it in UCL?

      It won't play a huge part, but both his Dad played for Atletico. Am sure he'd like to put in a bug performance vs them if he has they chance.

    Zuma is back.

    Is that 7 games he's been on the bench?

  16. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso is definitely a shout for the DGW inspite of tough fixtures.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Indeed. So exciting FPL player.

    2. as33
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I brought him in on my WC, goal and assist would b great 🙂

  17. Jafooli

    3 years, 1 month ago

    El Ghazi just became essential - DGWs, penos, baps - all for 5.3m

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Will he start both games? Trezequet Traore Barkley Sanson and Him vying for 3 places

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Villas whole team becomes avoid without Grealish

      • DandyDon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Lots of good midfielders same price, Saka, soucek and daphnia all play 29 too. Was looking at Watkins myself (for third time this season, only one missed pen to show in my team! - shoot me now) as may not be able to afford DCL. Grealish being out may be the news I need to avoid more Watkins pain! Maja a good option!? Plays 29

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years

      Alonso starting again. Would love to get him on WC31

    4. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Glad Ive got rid of Adams and to see him benched again.

    5. Ronnies
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone looking at DCL as TC option ?

      2 decent fixtures.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Kane for me

      2. AC Yew
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Considering it as cant seem to squeeze Kane it without messing up my team. Bruno is also another option

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

          Or Son maybe

      Not expecting much from Ings. Please surprise us Danny

        Feeling a cheeky brace coming.

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

          Don't say brace in relation to Ings. Too much chance of an injury.

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Lol

            Nice

        2. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          Knee brace?

    7. Weeb Kakashi

      Thoughts on this FH Team?

      Ederson
      Digne Cancelo Reguilon Castagne/Alonso
      Salah Son El-Ghazi
      Kane Vardy DCL

      Mitchell ESR

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bruno?

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Chelsea fan. I think we beat them. At 1M OR this is a punt i am willing to take.

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

            Beat them 4-3 with a Bruno hat trick

            1. Weeb Kakashi
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Haha. No 1-0 i reckon with a Bruno YC

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

        Surely you don’t need to free hit this week.

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Have 7 starters for 29. So no use Freehitting for 29.

          Have No Son/Kane in my current team. So instead i am Dead-ending into 29 and WC in 30/31.

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

            Ok fair enough. I’m just going to transfer Son in.

        2. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It is a strategy that i feel is optimal for my team mainly because of the 7 starters i have for 29.

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Assuming no injuries in the next 4 games.

      3. Dichio24
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Just take a hit or two to get in Kane and Son. Save your FH for 33

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Whats so interesting in 33 anyways? I can WC in 30/31 with 33 on my mind.

          1. Dichio24
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            So your wildcard team will have no City and Spurs? They both blank in 33. And Spurs looks like they'll get a double in 32

    8. FPL Doctor
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Are there any nailed spurs defence assets apart from Lloris?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Alderweireld is as close as it gets but not really

        • Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Regu when fit, Toby A mainly, Dier till recently...

        • Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Reguilon if fit.

      2. Casual Player
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I feel like I’m getting personally trolled with James on the Chelsea merry-go-round. Keep starting him for his 1 pointers and end of bench for the starts.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Stop doing it then

          1. Casual Player
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Haven’t figured out how to read Tuchels mind yet

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Sorry, I meant it might be time to say good-bye to him

      3. lifes a pitch
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Im hoping Alonso becomes nailed on and starts performing...

        1. as33
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Goal and assist tonight 😉

      4. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I got Alonso on my WC in FanTeam and benched the City defenders so I am super excited.

        The question I am asking should I get him on FPL WC (active now) as well ?

        Shoot your comments and opinions.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I would, certainly over Stones

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            So who would be the 3rd city player instead?

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Dias for nailedness, Gundo because Gundo, KDB (depending on this week or Sterling and a bit in the bank)
              I have and like Cancelo, but has only exploded once so far and doesn't always start

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                If I get KDB then I have to sell one or two of Salah Bruno Kane Son which I am not ready to do for now

                1. Fulchester's New Centr…
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  Fair enough, would rather have him than one of the Spurs myself.

        2. as33
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Did the same move, benched Cancelo and Gundogan

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Do you have him in the fpl as well ?

        3. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Love him as a pick, didn’t get on WC this week but may consider a hit for him next week

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I got him in FanTeam. I would not be surprised to see him on the bench for the double because of the tough fixtures. He should be nailed on 27th onwards probably

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Could be worth the risk with his attacking prowess

      5. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’ve seen quite a lot going KdB, are you losing Salah to get him or going both?

        Got KdB on WC this week, at the expense of Salah and now I’m physically petrified

        1. Tinkermania
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Salah is fully match fit. KDB coming back from injury. They won't even need him against WHU or Wolves.

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Some decent mins against Arsenal this week and he plays next week in the double I think.
            Remember he nearly always starts league games

            1. DandyDon
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              He does but they play every 3 days, schedule particularly looks tight wk 27 double.

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

          Trying my first draft currently but no room for either! Keeping Bruno and going heavy up top, Kane, Vardy and DCL. When I thought about it Gundo(or maybe Foden) over KDB made sense for huge saving and Son just looks a better option than Salah considering better fixtures and plays 29. You got freehit still for 29? I don’t so affecting a lot of my decisions.

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yes still got FH

            1. DandyDon
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Ah lucky

      6. marcos11
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bamford > Watkins a good move with ft this week?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I'd wait and see how long Greal is out - fear Villa might be pretty poor without him

          1. marcos11
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Certainly gonna wait til the end of the week, especially since I have value in Bamford but Villas fixtures are very good

      7. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I said Ings will not score vs CHE and is effectively a SGW player +2points. let us see....

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Going to stick my neck on the line here and say it could go either way

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            This

        2. Tinkermania
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          A 50/50 guess.

      8. Neevesy
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Manages to get some time free at 3pm to watch the football, checks fixtures. WBA v Burnley - *sigh*

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Burnley consistently getting that slot by the TV picks.

          Personally I think it helps them.

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

          I know I’ve watched Burnley twice recently as I had 3 dgw players last week! Might give it a miss today I think!

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            An improving Baggies?

            1-1 is my guess.
