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

    Are any of the below moves, good moves? This would be -8 if I did all moves.

    Dalot > Lamptey
    Broja > Dennis/King
    Cash > Reg/Davies

    Thanks

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe the Broja out to Watford fwd move

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that would be my first move. Followed by the Lamptey one?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not for a hit. Probably take a chance on Dalot

          1. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Can't see Dalot playing twice in the DGW - seems to be being rotated with AWB

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              It's possible. He is a rotation risk. Don't see it being worth a hit out for Lamptey

    2. Sjaak
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dennis. I've got Lamptey but thinking he might start only 1 game

  2. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    All please help decide?A)mendy & benteke to Sanchez/DDG & Ron -4 or
    B) hope foster plays so do ESr & benteke to Maddison & ronaldo?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would probably lose Mendy when you factor in AFCON and CWC blanks

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ok thanks I guess I could do -8 to do mendy, ESr & benteke to DDg/Sanchez, Maddy & Ron

  3. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Watford's next 3 fixtures:
    GW22 new (A) + bur (A)
    GW23 NOR (H)

    I think the King and Dennis double up is very appealing.

  4. royals forever

    Lost on last page

    Your help is needed please

    Would you WC this team or take a -8 (selling Salah, Mbeumo and James) instead (FH already used in GW21)

    Ramsdale De Gea

    Rudiger Cancelo James Mitchell Tsimikas

    Salah Bernardo Saka Bowen Mbeumo

    Jesus Lacazette Dennis

    1.5 ITB 1 FT

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Take hit, don’t use WC.

    2. Andrew
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      you get 2 FH's

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Can't use in consecutive GWs

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

      I'd WC tbh. Think there's 8 or 9 I wouldn't want anymore (long term and short term).

      1. Dammit_182
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        There are a lot of players you could mop up with WC actually.

    4. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely WC22 for me

  5. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Early indications suggest there’s no urgent need for me to Free Hit this.

    Bachmann*
    Dalot*, Bavies*, TAA, Cancelo
    Jota, Mount*, Bowen, Foden
    Dennis*, Antonio

    Ramsdale, Johnson, Salah, Watkins.

    1FT and £0.5m ITB

    Maybe just get a Burnley defender? FH would have to be for Ronaldo, but not sure even that is worth burning the chip for?

  6. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Currently only have 2dgwers (sigh!). So can FH (have both FH's still) or get to the following with 1 hit

    Ramsdale -- Foster
    Taa Cancelo Dalot -- Coufal Liv
    Jota Bowen Foden Son -- Raph (whu)
    Dcl Dennis Ron

    A: Gtg
    B: Ramsdale >> Sanchez for another hit..ie total -8
    C: FH instead and get 8/9 dgwers incl maddison/kane/alonso/reguillon

    1. Tanaka'd
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Getting to that with just a hit isn't bad at all. Definitely not B.

  7. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else looking at that lineup and thinking it's probably not worth a chip? I already have Son, Alonso, DDG and Dennis who will double, and will probably get Maddison with my free. No standout TC options, and don't want to fill my bench with Brighton & Burnley crap for the sake of a BB.

    Outside of that, I don't see anyone I'd really want to drop any of my West Ham or Pool players for before their good SGW fixture.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      See my post above.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I am thinking about a FH

      BB lot better soon after a WC so that boat has sailed as can't WC and BB for 22.

      TC on Kane or Son could be nice. Cheeky Dennis TC could be good too.

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        TC this season is currently reserved for the DGW where Salah faces Leeds + 1

    3. Sjaak
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Brighton ain't crap though

  8. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I guess I'll roll FT

    Pickford
    TAA Ait-Nouri Royal
    Jota (C)Maddison Bowen Son
    DCL (VC)Dennis Antonio

    Sá Gray Cancelo Coufal

    7.1m ITB. 1 FT

    Madders and Antonio to Foden and Ings next GW for free, maybe

    FH19, WC21, TC Salah, FH??, BB36

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not thinking of BB

      I am thinking of a BB here, what do ya reckon?

      DDG
      Cucurella TAA Alonso
      Jota Son Marti Bowen
      Kane Dennis Antonio

      Ramsdale Cancelo Tierney Foden

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Those singles aren't the best fixtures

        I'd place Foden ahead of Cancelo on the bench though. Chelsea matches are quite the goalfests these days

        Prep for BB36. You have a good chipless DGW22 XI

        Don't force any chip. They're meant to be bonuses

  9. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If Bachmann gets covid I'm bench boosting. That's about the only sense I can make of this so far.

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Really tricky to see if foster get his place back

  10. Bang Average
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Somehow I still have Toney in my team (I know) and with his doubles its become harder to get him out. That being said, what would be your priority here:

    1. Toney --> Ronaldo for free (Bench Sissoko)
    2. Sissoko --> Maddison for free (Bench Toney)

    Bench is currently.. Ramsdale, Coufal, Gray, then Sissoko/Toney.

    Thanks all

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Toney probably scores against Utd tbf, I'm a Utd season ticket holder

      1. Bang Average
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't be surprising at all. Plus pens. But was pretty dead set on getting Ronaldo in until Brentford got the double.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Update linked team. I wanted to see who else you could bench for Toney, after getting Maddison (C)

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        But yeah, I'd get (and cap) Maddison here and reluctantly put Toney at first sub, with Gray next

        Temptingly to BB22, but not close enough

        1. Bang Average
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ah, updated. Appreciate the thoughts. Will likely wait until deadline and at the point the decision might be made for me through postponements etc.

          cheers

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Seen. 3-4-3 with Madders (C)

            I'd bench Ramsdale, Gray, Cancelo and Coufal

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          *Temptingly close to

          Erased in editing

  11. DIMITRIS
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you FT to this team:
    DDG
    Alonso / Varane / Castagne
    Maddison / Mount / Barnes / Lucas Moura
    Lukaku / Kane / Ronaldo

    bench all fodders

    1. Bang Average
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Free hit? No. I think TAA, Jota, Antonio & Bowen are all strong options this week and I'm assuming you have at least 3 of them

      1. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        agree

      2. DIMITRIS
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I do indeed. Jota, Antonio and Bowen are in my team but I'm tempted to FH to this bunch as there is a big upside to chase.

  12. fricky_
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lloris
    Reg Cancelo Taa
    Jota Foden Bowen Gray
    Dennis DCL Antonio
    Steele Johnson Dalot (Salah)
    Think I can get away with rolling Salah and captaining Jota/Dennis?

    1. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You have a good team but Salah's value will only keep dropping until he's back, and Son has a DGW so surely bring him in

      1. fricky_
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ye probably best to bring him or KDB in. KDB's fixtures look better after 22 though

  13. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Doubles are always tempting, but would you ditch Jota/TAA Vs Brentford? Antonio/Bowen vs Leeds? Even Everton should score well against Norwich.

    Thinking about free hitting but outside of Spurs and United (neither of whom are exactly firing on all cylinders) there aren't many stand out options who are likely to outscore those with a plum SGW.

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Other than MU & spurs, At the moment I can only really think of Leicester (Maddison) & wat double up of king & Dennis

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I think Kane and Madison are only two I'd bring in (have Ronaldo, Dennis, Son) and maybe Regulion. Could do Maddi and Reg for a hit and save a FH though and still keep Jota, Trent, Antonio and Bowen... Hmmm

  14. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why no DGW for Everton?

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Painful with x3 Eve...

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Their doubles will come soon. I'm holding until the GW27 fixture swing

      Plus, they have the ever-imploding Norwich this GW. It's easy to start 'em without a double

  15. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bench boosters whats the plan now?

    WC last GK to have 12 DGW players and BB now will have only 4.

    Think i will use BB anyway with Ramsdale,Cash,Gray and Coufal to get it out of the way.

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Got 1FT and enough cash in the bank. Is Watkins to Ronaldo a no-brainer?

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yes or kane

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Got Sonny boi...

  17. boombaba
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    would you take a -4 to get maddison in and bench cancelo or play cancelo ?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fifty fifty

  18. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Will Dalot play both gems?

    1. merin
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      no

  19. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Was all set to BB but might just take a hit and play without chips.

    Salah+Broja >> Maddison+Dennis (-4)? [Bowen benched]

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Alonso
    Son Jota Maddison Bowen Gray
    Antonio King
    ------------------------------------------
    Foster Broja James* Duffy

    1FT, 1M itb.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks.

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kane + Maddison?

  20. Jeko
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think about triple captain Ronaldo?

    1. Dammit_182
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If salah gets one a bit later on it’s squeaky bum time.

      All he needs to do is score 1 goal in each game though which is entirely possible.

    2. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      hell no

    3. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not based on form

  21. Redranger
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which option looks more appealing?
    Saka/Broja >

    A) Dennis & Tielemans (-4)
    B) King & Maddison (-4)

    1. Dammit_182
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch. You kinda want Dennis & Maddison.

      I’d go king & Maddison - I think Dennis sub during spurs game and AFCON disappointment is enough to make me swing to king.

      1. Redranger
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I have no idea why I wrote Saka. It’s Gray lol. I could go Gallagher > Maddison to get both of them. Maybe that’s a better shout?

  22. merin
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    After the DGW22 annoucement today, what would you do here?
    A) FT only
    B) FT + 1 or 2 hits
    C) FH
    D) WC

    Ramsdale Foster
    TAA Cancelo Cash Davies Livramento
    Son Jota Foden Bowen DLuiz
    Ronaldo Watkins Dennis

    1 FT, 3.3 ITB

  23. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The second WC will be the most difficult chip to use imo.

    Ideally you would use it in a DGW but if there’s only 2/3 games in each DGW then it doesn’t make sense to WC in players you don’t want going forward

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Planning mine 24 when Salah returns.

    2. Dreaming of glory
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably better to use 2 fh on dgw and use wc for longer term moves. Got a bonus this year with the extra fh

  24. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I have treble w ham v Leeds double pool v Brentford DCL v Norwich would you lose any of them for a dgw player for a hit (on -4 already). It's very tricky !!!

    1. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

  25. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Seeing the fixtures, I've decided not to BB or FH.

    Seems like a waste, doesn't it, especially with injury doubts?

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Royal
    Jota Madison Bowen Son (c)
    Dennis Kane Antonio

    Bench: Foster, Gray, Kilman, Targett

    1. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Im not even sure I see a needed FT.
      Looks good, would consider Maddison for cap

  26. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bernardo > Maddison ft? Might reverse the transfer next gw seeing City’s fixtures.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes looks good

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks AA

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Reverse it to Foden if you have the funds

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate. But prefer Bernardo. He’s been great since I got him in gw 12 as a differential over foden.

  27. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Broja & Foden > Ronaldo & Maddison for the DGW?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  28. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Could have this team with -4

    Sanchez
    Taa cancelo Dawson
    Son Jota Bowen lookman
    Ronaldo DCL Antonio

    Only 4 dgw players. It's poor isn't it ?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No, I've got only 3 atm without hit ...

    2. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good to me. Although I'd prefer Maddison and Tielemans over Lookman

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Can't afford him unfortunately

  29. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Outbreak at City, Chelsea are collecting a starting XI of injuries, absolutely no reason to think that all scheduled fixtures go ahead.
    FH is maybe where I go if I use a chip. -8 & BB another possible line. But not really going to examine this in any detail until after the weekend.

    1. Sterling Archer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If the city game gets called off alot more FH's will get played!

  30. Fpl_Ludwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) Anyone know if Bachmann still is first choice? Is Foster back from injury?

    B) Worth keeping pinnock even tho he plays Liverpool and Man utd?

    C) Cash to Lowton?

    D) Wolves defender still worth it even tho they don’t have DGW?
