Fixtures

Double Gameweek 22 confirmed for eight teams

The revised fixture list for Double Gameweek 22 was announced by the Premier League on Thursday morning, with eight top-flight sides playing twice.

Brentford, Brighton and Hove Albion, Burnley, Chelsea, Leicester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Watford are the clubs who have two fixtures in the upcoming Gameweek.

There is a caveat: this proposed schedule is subject to change should any FA Cup third-round matches involving these teams or their second Double Gameweek 22 opponents be postponed this weekend. In the event of that happening, the outstanding cup ties would be played in this free midweek instead.

GAMEWEEK 22 DOUBLES

  • Brentford: Liverpool (a), Man Utd (h)
  • Brighton: Crystal Palace (h), Chelsea (h)
  • Burnley: Leicester (h), Watford (h)
  • Chelsea: Manchester City (a), Brighton (a)
  • Leicester: Burnley (a), Spurs (h)
  • Man Utd: Aston Villa (a), Brentford (a)
  • Spurs: Arsenal (h), Leicester (a)
  • Watford: Newcastle (a), Burnley (a)

There is a real mixed bag of ‘doubles’ here, with Brentford’s two games unappealing and Chelsea and Spurs having far from straightforward tests.

The best pairings are arguably those of Watford and Burnley, although which players from these two clubs beyond Emmanuel Dennis (£6.1m) and/or Joshua King (£5.8m) represent attractive targets is another question.

Liverpool, West Ham United and even Everton, whose players some of us would have loaded up on ahead of Double Gameweek 21, have very decent ‘single’ Gameweeks, meanwhile, so as ever a balancing act would seem to be the way to go.

DATES AND TIMES OF THE ADDITIONAL FIXTURES

Tuesday 18 January

19:30 Burnley v Watford
20:00 Brighton v Chelsea

Wednesday 19 January

19:30 Leicester v Spurs
20:00 Brentford v Man Utd

    I'm almost in BB territory, but United FBs are holding me back. No idea who to bench or captain. Any advice?

    DDG* (avl, bre) / Sanchez* (CPL, CHE)
    Reguilon* / TAA / Dalot*, Telles* (avl, bre)
    Son*, Moura* / Jota (BRE) / Bowen (LEE) / Gray (nor)
    King* / Antonio (LEE) / DCL (nor)

    XXX /// XXX, XXX, Cancelo (CHE)

    * = DGW

    I also have 4.0 ITB and 1 FT, so I could get Dennis for some more money ITB!
    I think BB is out of the question because I don't want a Brighton or Burnley defender in the short- to mid- term.

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

      Woo!

    2. TheAbear53
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Dalot and Telles will come back in for AWB and Shaw - latter two were very poor

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

        Yeah, I think I'll save my FT. But not sure who to bench. Probably: Sanchez /// Gray, Telles, Cancelo
        Captain Sonny :/

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

    I have 2 DGW players - Sanchez and Alonso. Think I'll save my FT

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Why? Is that because not great teams having doubles? I have 3 and was going to FH

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

        He’s avin a laugh

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

        Yeah was just kidding. Probably going to have to free hit even though the fixtures are pretty pants.

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Oh ok - question is now who to get?! Guess MU, Leicester, Watford & spurs?

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

            Urgh

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Guess Maddy, king & Dennis, ronaldo & Kane/son main ones from those

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

        If you already have Ronaldo, it looks like the major benefit of a FH team is Burnley (and maybe Brighton) defenders that you don't have to keep in the longer-term. But that's actually a minor benefit at most, I think. Kane and Son could be a plus, but they could be outscored by SGWs. It's not as obvious as DGWs with City and Liverpool playing poop teams, for example.

        Nobody asked me, sorry. Also I have 8 DGWers before FT, so just ignore me.

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Leicester players too?

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

            Are they much better than SGWers with Spurs one of the fixtures and no forwards available?

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              MAddison worthwhile & Barnes could play up front?

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

                If Barnes is available, but it's not ideal is it? If you like the look of it, you can do it! 🙂
                Dennis and Ronaldo are the players I fear, if any, but their SGW alternatives in my team (DCL + Antonio + King) have good fixtures

                1. Stranger Mings
                  • 3 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Ok thanks , just seen tielmams shout too

    2. TheAbear53
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Nice idea

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      We all know come near deadline that FT won't be saved

    Watkins and davis to dennis and king (-4) and BB ???

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

    Lukaku Kane Ronaldo for the DWG or does Dennis get one 1 of the 3 spots and if so for who?

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

      I wouldn't go for Kane/Lukaku. Ronaldo maybe with either double WAT or even Antonio has a great fixture

    2. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      All that money invested in those 3 forwards I would expect goals.
      I'm not sold, Ronaldo, Dennis and XXX for me.

  5. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Assume best to wait til after FA games before deciding whether to play FH so Monday?

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

      Yes, after Man U game on Monday night.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Cool thanks

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

        After the Norwich and West Ham game next Wednesday come to it.

  6. FPLShaqiri
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Was considering FH for the last 10 minutes, but when I look at my team there isn't a single starter who I really want to get rid of. Of course they could be improved but it seems like marginal gains. In fact I don't even know what to do with my FT, as I want to keep MCI defs, and if I do an attacking change who would I bench/sell? Any smart ideas?

    Sanchez*
    Rudi* - TAA - Cancelo
    Gray - Bowen - Jota - Son*
    Antonio - King* - DCL
    (Ramsdale - Livra - Dias - Brownhill*)
    1FT, 5.8 ITB

    With all my chips intact I'm so unsure what to do!

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Just did the same analysis (similar team below). Had to get all the way to Broja before I spotted a single change I’d make. And I like him going forward tbh but the fixtures are very poor. Martinelli and Tierney with Burnley home next too 🙂

      I’d probs roll haha but I’m sure lots will change in the coming week with postpones or whatever else 🙂

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

        Haha cheers. Right now I'm thinking probably roll, but as you say something will probably happen during the next week to change this thinking.

        For your question below: I'd go King 😉

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Initial thought is a simple Broja >> Dennis/King?

    DDG+
    TAA. Cancelo. Reguilón+
    Son+. Jota. Gray. Bowen
    Kane+. Antonio. Broja
    (Foster, Dalot+, Martinelli, Tierney)

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

    As things stand, who would be your ideal captain for next week?

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

      Ronaldo or Son

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      But it on Kane initally

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

      I don’t think there’s a standout pick tbh.

      Kane’s historically done well against Arsenal and Leicester but that probably means nothing plus he looks average at best.

      Someone like Tarkowski will probably end up on 20 points. It’s often the centre halves in DGWs for some reason IIRC.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Like Duffy? 😉

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

          Ratio.

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

      Sonaldo

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

      Maddison

  9. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Salah-Antonio > Maddison-Ronaldo (C) for -4
    Yes or No?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Antonio will outscore Ronaldo but Maddison move is fine

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        this

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

    Not worthy of a chip for sure

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

      I guess you’re only looking from your point of view.

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

        That's correct but unless you have almost zero DGW players it's difficult to see a major upside...

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

      Can’t agree more. Very underwhelming double, defo gonna hold FH and BB for now

  11. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    -4 for Ronaldo (C) and bench Cancelo?

    DDG*
    TAA, Alonso*, Reguilon*
    Son*, Jota, Bowen, Raphinha
    Antonio, King*, Ronaldo*(C)

    Bachmann*; Brownhill*, Cancelo, Livra

    -4 is: Salah, 4.4 > Brownhill, Ronaldo

  12. The Senate
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Toney to Dennis worth the hit?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It's worth two hits, Toney is the ultimate fpl dud

  13. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best mid up to 6.0 for the double?

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

      If you fancy a gamble one of Perez or Lookman will probably be playing ST for Leicester, all our other forwards are injured or at Afcon. My money is on Perez.

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers Tinkerman!

      Question marks over Greenwood, Cavani

      1. @TruthSeeker
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed

  15. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    got only one dgw player FH surely ?

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

    If all fixtures go ahead team not really needing FH, but could BB- but major bench headaches if play with no chip as below- would you

    A BB
    B FH
    C play as normal week despite benching headache

    DDG*
    TAA Dalot* Reguilón*
    Son* Maddison* Jota Bowen
    Ronaldo* Dennis* Antonio

    Sanchez* Gray Cancelo Dawson

  17. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Only chelsea, man utd and spurs fixtures are appealing. Not sure free hit worth it

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      unless you be got zero of their payers

  18. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Maddison (if fit) best option from Leicester?

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

      the only real option.......

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

      On free hit yeah. But the transfer will just lose you points after, as his fixtures are so bad

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

      Yes, although its likely that Barnes should also do well, especially if playing the 9 role

    4. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Tielemans

  19. MGMT
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Reguilon really worth the extra 0.5M over Emerson ?

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

      Yes

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Ignore the stats, Emerson is such a poor player. Watch him play and you won't ever consider him for your team.
      That being said I prefer Davies or Dier to Reguilon due to price

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

        As an Emerson owner, I'd say definitely. I only got him 'cos I couldn't afford Reggie. The eye test is painful; the only plus is Doherty seems totally out of favour, but they may go for a better RB this window.

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      think so

    4. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks for the input guys

  20. Karl Georg Øhrn
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    The Head-to-head-leagues here havent been updated here for weeks. Anybody know what is going on?

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

      No, there was an update after boxing day stating it would be fixed before year end but clearly not.

  21. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Looking for a max 4.2 DGW defender if to afford Mount. Is Duffy expected to reclaim his starting spot?

    1. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Why Mount?

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

      How about Holgate? Everton are well behind on games too so more doubles coming

    3. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Veltman

  22. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Fully fully expecting 4 points from cr7

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

      If he even starts both.

  23. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would you take a -8 to BB this bench?

    Gunn - Foden - Cancelo - Livra

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Will sell Gunn & Livra I mean for -8.

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

      Definitely not

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I meant to say the -8 will be to sell Gunn & Livra

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

          Depends who you get. Not an amazing fixture for City and who knows if Foden will play.

          1. Karan14
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Sanchez & 4.6m def or Bachmann & 4.9m def if I keep Foden for BB

            And if I sell Foden and keep Livra for BB then I could get Madisson & Lloris

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

      You can get Sanchez + ??

      I don't see any good DGW defenders this week. Maybe Chelsea?

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez & 4.6m def or Bachmann & 4.9m def

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

          I'd go Sanchez + Spurs defense if you still have a slot open for Spurs.

          1. Karan14
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yes I could get Davies

  24. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A hit for Moura is only a -1

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

      Or -3

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

    What to do here? 😀 0.1 off from Gray -> Maddi
    1 FT
    1.3 ITB
    2 FH
    1 TC

    Current team:
    Sanchez (CRY, LEI)
    Emerson (ARS, lei) - Lowton (LEI, WAT) - TAA (bre)
    Son (ARS, lei) - Jota (bre) - Bowen (lee) - Gray (nor)
    Kane (ARS, lei) - Antonio (lee) - DCL (nor)

    Pickford, Cancelo, Coufal, Ramsey

    Had hoped for Everton double 😀

    These are the FA Cup games that the DGW teams are playing this weekend. If any are postponed this weekend, they will be played in the same midweek of the DGW so eliminating the second game..

    Port Vale v Brentford
    Man Utd v Aston Villa
    Burnley v Hudddersfield
    Leicester v Watford
    Spurs v Morecambe
    West Brom v Brighton
    Chelsea v Chesterfield

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

      First games can also be hit. City outbreak for instance will result in the Chelsea game being off.

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

      So who's going to check out the Covid-19 situation at Port Vale, Huddersfield, Morecambe and Chesterfield?

      It was decimating lower league squads.

      Think West Brom have been okay.

      Likely a postponement or 2?

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

    I'm thinking now about BB24 instead.

    What's a stronger BB?

    GW22 - Ramsdale (tot), Cancelo (CHE), Gray (nor), Antonio (LEE)
    GW24 - Ramsdale (wol), Gray (new), King (whu), Emerson (SOU)

    Both would be just 1 hit.

    1. jay01
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Why are gray and antonio on your bench for this gwk?

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

        Because my other starters are all DGWers + TAA, Jota, Bowen.

        I guess that answers the question. BB22 is better.

        1. jay01
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah it is.. i wish everton had an extra game would make that decision easier

        I can keep Bernardo instead of Gray for this week. And I might do that.

        Leaves me: Ramsdale (tot), Cancelo (CHE), Bernardo (CHE), Antonio (LEE)

        The rest are DGWers + TAA, Jota, Bowen.

          Gray has good fixtures to come and should have some DGWs soon (2 fixtures left to rearrange).

          Cancelo and Bernardo’s chances after starting this gameweek are greater than they will be any other time ahead. I say go for for it.

      Why is that better than BB’ing this week?

        Apologies, I say play this week.

    #mcfc confirm a major Covid outbreak in the squad. Guardiola and Lillo tested positive this week and 21 members of first team squad, including 7 players are isolating. City saying that press conference today and game tomorrow will still go ahead

      Pep gets really in your face when he speaks to people as well. They're all going to have it.

      So Pep's test was inconclusive 2 weeks ago and now has covid.

      Chelsea DGW in doubt?

      I think this would force a FH for me. No Cancelo either.

        The game is 9 days away, relax ..

          Could get worse by then

      21 members of 1st team squad tested positive and their game will go ahead?

        Not all players

        They have plenty of kids. As do Chelsea - I still don't get why they couldn't play them in a cup where traditionally the big clubs do just that.

      It's good news. Their next PL game is on the 15th. By then, all those positive players should be in the clear.
