Frisking the Fixtures

Who has the best fixtures for FPL Double Gameweek 22 and beyond?

Our regular frisk of the fixtures sees us assess the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) clubs and players with – in theory – the strongest run of league matches over the medium term.

We typically take a routine look at the next six matches in this article but in light of Double Gameweek 22 being announced, we’ll slightly tweak the usual format.

We’re instead assessing the eight Double Gameweek 22 teams for ease of fixture beyond next weekend, before looking at the best of the rest.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 22 TEAMS: PLAYERS WHO HAVE FAVOURABLE FIXTURES IN AND BEYOND GAMEWEEK 22

There are, arguably, only one or two teams that fall into this bracket.

Manchester United (avl + bre | WHU | bur | SOU | lee | WAT) are at the top of our Season Ticker over the next six Gameweeks, with some favourable fixtures for their attack especially beyond their so-so Gameweek 22 double.

West Ham may be riding high in the Premier League table and will pose a threat to David de Gea (£5.2m) in Gameweek 23 but their success certainly isn’t based on solidity in defence, with three of their first-choice back four out injured and only one clean sheet arriving in the Hammers’ last 11 league matches.

Burnley, who United beat 3-1 just over a week ago, then follow, while Southampton haven’t kept a clean sheet since Gameweek 12 and Leeds have registered more shut-outs than just two teams all season.

The icing on the cake is the visit of Watford, who have been scored against in all 18 of their Premier League matches in 2021/22.

The problem isn’t fixtures but form, with United scoring only six goals in their last five matches (games against Newcastle and Norwich have been part of that equation) and it’s only really Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m), who himself is hardly value for money, who appeals from Ralf Rangnick’s pool of below-par attackers.

Foden and Gallagher uncertainty as Ranieri explains early Dennis substitution 2

As for Watford (new + bur | NOR | whu | BHA | avl | mun), the likes of Emmanuel Dennis (£6.1m) and Joshua King (£5.8m) will be targets for, or already owned by, not just those on a Free Hit chip but for managers using their free transfers or a Wildcard.

The Hornets’ attack (we’ll ignore their defence given how poor they are at the back) may well have the best fixture pairing in Double Gameweek 22, with Newcastle and Burnley managing just four clean sheets between them all season. The Magpies can also not be beaten for goals or big chances conceded in 2021/22.

A meeting with a Norwich side who have shipped 14 goals in their last five matches then precedes a trip to West Ham, whose defensive shortcomings we have discussed above.

The fixtures stiffen thereafter but more Double Gameweeks await: as is the case with a number of clubs, Watford have another two previously postponed fixtures that could be accommodated anywhere between Gameweeks 25-29 or beyond Gameweek 30.

TEAMS WITH THE MOST FIXTURES OUTSTANDING
  • Arsenal, Burnley, Everton, Leicester (3)
  • Spurs, Brighton, Watford, Liverpool, Leeds, Aston Villa, Wolves, Newcastle, Chelsea (2)
  • Southampton, Crystal Palace, Norwich, Man Utd (1)
  • Man City, West Ham, Brentford (0)

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 22 TEAMS: PLAYERS WHO HAVE UNFAVOURABLE FIXTURES IN/BEYOND GAMEWEEK 22

The Double Gameweek 22 fixture announcement was met by a wave of apathy by the FPL community and the above ticker illustrates why.

For Free Hitters, most of the clubs have mediocre ‘doubles’ in Gameweek 22.

And for managers planning for the longer term, either with their transfers or Wildcard, there isn’t much to shout about beyond that.

Chelsea (mci + bha | TOT | blank | blank | cry | LEI), for example, are off to the Club World Cup when Gameweeks 24 and 25 roll around and are well on their way to having their Gameweek 27 match against Leicester postponed, as that clashes with the EFL Cup final.

We probably won’t see another double for Chelsea before Gameweek 28, with anything before that requiring early domestic cup eliminations for themselves and any prospective opponents.

Brighton (CRY + CHE | lei | blank | wat | BUR | avl) are also without a league fixture in Gameweek 24 as a result of Chelsea’s involvement in the Club World Cup, meanwhile, although have an appealing run from Gameweeks 25-28 if any owners of Albion assets can navigate their way through that blank.

Leicester (bur + TOT | BHA | liv | WHU | wol | che) have some so-so fixtures after Gameweek 22 and almost certainly won’t have another double before Gameweek 33 if they continue to progress in cups at home and abroad.

Burnley (LEI + WAT | ars | MUN | LIV | bha | cry) are realistically a no-go for anyone not playing their Free Hit in Gameweek 22, while Brentford (liv + MUN | WOL | mci | CRY | ars | NEW) face the double whammy of a fairly awful ‘double’ and some of the division’s meanest defences (Wolves, City and Arsenal) beyond that.

That leaves Spurs (ARS + lei | che | SOU | WOL | mci | LEE), who also face the three sides with the best defensive records in 2021/22 (Chelsea, Wolves and City) after their middling double. Chelsea have been in fairly poor form at the back and might be there for the taking but the Blues comprehensively outplayed Antonio Conte’s near-full-strength side in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday, with the Lilywhites’ manager downbeat after full-time:

“Last year, they won the Champions League and if you compare the two teams I think there’s not a comparison. We’re talking about a team that’s ready to win and they’ve played an important part over many years.

“Today, we have seen the difference between the two teams.

“I said that these types of games can show us the difference in the gap there is between us and top clubs like Chelsea. We struggled a lot this evening and they showed us they are much stronger than us.” – Antonio Conte

SINGLE GAMEWEEK 22 TEAMS: BEST AND WORST FIXTURE RUNS

Who has the best fixtures for FPL Double Gameweek 22 and beyond? 2

As for the rest, it’s easy to see why some FPL managers are unwilling to ditch too many ‘single’ Gameweek 22 assets ahead of next Friday’s deadline.

Everton (nor | AVL | new | LEE | sou | MCI), for example, sit near the top of our ticker when we look at the next six Gameweeks. The lack of a Double Gameweek 22 might have miffed Fantasy bosses who brought in the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.9m) last week, thinking there was a chance of a ‘double double’ for the Toffees, but they do have some favourable matches over their next five, with the bottom three teams for goals conceded all to come between now and Gameweek 25.

Merseyside rivals Liverpool (BRE | cry | LEI | bur | NOR | blank) are also sitting pretty in our Season Ticker from Gameweeks 22-26, with Diogo Jota (£8.2m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.4m) seeing their owned-by figures and prices rising further in the run-up to Gameweek 22.

And West Ham’s upcoming meetings with Leeds, Watford, Leicester and Newcastle, who have a collective seven clean sheets in 74 league matches this season, look great for Michail Antonio (£7.8m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.7m).

The fit-again Ollie Watkins (£7.8m) will be a likely FPL target when Aston Villa‘s (MUN | eve | LEE | new | WAT | bha) fixtures turn for the better in Gameweek 23, meanwhile.

As a footnote, there are blanks for both Liverpool and Arsenal (tot | BUR | wol | blank | BRE | blank) in the above graphic.

The two sides’ Gameweek 27 meeting has been postponed because of a clash with the EFL Cup final, although it could theoretically still be held within Gameweek 27 if they are both eliminated by the FA Cup fifth round. The Gunners are also without a fixture in Gameweek 25 because of Chelsea’s Club World Cup involvement.

FUTURE DOUBLE GAMEWEEKS?

With Covid still wreaking havoc on the fixture calendar and 15 Premier League matches still to be rearranged (plus more cup-related blanks in Gameweeks 27, 30 and 33), the schedule will continue to evolve over the coming weeks and months.

Here is when the next Double Gameweeks could hypothetically fall between now and the March international break:

  • Gameweek 23: A chance of a very small Double Gameweek*.
  • Gameweek 24: A chance of a very small Double Gameweek*.
  • Gameweek 25: A possible Double Gameweek for anyone bar Man City, West Ham, Brentford, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leicester and Norwich)
  • Gameweek 26: A possible Double Gameweek for anyone bar Man City, West Ham, Brentford, Chelsea, Man Utd, Leicester and Norwich)
  • Gameweek 27: A possible Double Gameweek if teams with an outstanding match-up are eliminated by the FA Cup fifth-round stage. Four sides, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester and Liverpool, will have their weekend matches postponed because of the EFL Cup final, however.
  • Gameweek 28: A possible Double Gameweek for anyone bar Man City, West Ham, Brentford, Liverpool, Leicester (if they are still in the Conference League) and Norwich (if Leicester are still in the Conference League)
  • Gameweek 29: A possible Double Gameweek for anyone bar Man City, West Ham, Brentford, Chelsea, Man Utd, Leicester (if they are still in the Conference League) and Norwich (if Leicester are still in the Conference League)
  • Gameweek 30: No chance of a Double Gameweek and a near-certain chance of it being a Blank Gameweek, as it will clash with the FA Cup quarter-finals.

*Aston Villa v Burnley or Leeds v Aston Villa could be played on Saturday/Sunday February 5/6. That would mean either the Gameweek 24 deadline being brought forward a few days or the fixture being tagged onto the end of Gameweek 23.

      A purely as you need rid anyway and B good in medium term. Any way of also getting King for a -4?

      1. klipp klopp
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Already got him fortunately

      B. Double then Norwich.

  2. Alisson WondHaaland

    I think anyone that has 2+ City players, Watkins and no Spurs should be taking this opportunity to FH. Most transfers available to you this week will involve taking out players with good fixtures from 23 onwards and bringing in players with much worse fixtures after the DGW.

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe if have Both FH. Otherwise Could manage with a -4. Spurs fixture not great for defence and if had Bilva would sell anyway

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I posted my team near bottom of last page. Laporte, Cancelo, Bernardo, Watkins here and already used the FT to replace Salah with Son before price swings. Definitely considering FH or taking a single hit to replace Bernardo. What's up with Watkins?

          Interesting. So you think x2 city defenders will outscore dgw players?
          I haven’t looked into which defenders I’d want on FH just yet

          1. Alisson WondHaaland
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            I think thats his current team? I think in his case since Dennis and Son are already in you could probably avoid the FH

            1. Sheffield Wednesday
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah that's my current team, hence 2FH still available.

      2. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        If you've used your FT for 22 to bring in Son, just remember you lose him if you FH

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks. understood this is a drawback financially. It may involve a WC later if I want both Son and Salah for the remainder of the season.

    3. FPL_Crisis

      Don’t forget multiple Arsenal as well

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Nah, you want to sell them, not skip for a week

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

          Was meaning if you own them even more reason to FH
          Still good plays vs bur wol before blanking

      2. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I own Saka and Ramsdale, I think Id be OK with selling them given the blanks but I do agree, the fixtures they do have are appealing.

        I have no need to sell either since my bench is already deep enough to cover the blanks

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

          Funny I think Saka and Ramsdale are the two Arsenal players I’d want for next two fixtures post this weekend. More reliable than using transfers and then possible wildcard to get Salah back if you sold like me

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Why not play the City players?

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I could, Foden is one of my City players, I doubt he plays a full game this week, not sure he'll be fit to be in the squad

        1. Meechoo115
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          It’s over two weeks since his Omicron. Sure he’ll be fine by then

  3. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…

    2 years, 2 months ago

    If Foster is predicted to return, is the following worth a BB for a -4? Would be a -8 to switch Foster to Schmeichel

    Foster (new, bur)
    Gray (eve)
    Cancelo (CHE)
    Reguilon (ARS/lei)

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes if he is back.

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Says still a few weeks away

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Announcement was pre-New Year’s and he very well might be back for Jan 15

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

      You have a better starter than Reguilon?

      I doubt that...

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

        True actually, Reg would start ahead of Bowen or Antonio or even Lamptey. If bring in Maddison and take a -4 it would look like

        De Gea
        Alonso TAA Lamptey Reguilon
        Son Maddison Jota Bowen
        Ronaldo Dennis Antonio

        Foster Bowen Cancelo Gray

        Not convinced worth a -4 to bring in Reg and Maddison though and liking the WC35 BB36 idea with the upside from that

  6. pmj174
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez
    Cancelo Reg TAA Lamptey

            I don’t think Maddison scores enough considering he has nasty fixtures after

  7. lilmessipran

    Which option is better this week and going forward using transfers?

    A Start Bernardo
    B Bernardo to Maddison (-4) if fit

  8. Ci Siamo

    If you can only own one this week?

    A) Ronaldo

    B) Kane

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I would have said A but many in here suggest Ronaldo benched for one

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

      50/50. Have Kane

    3. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B

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

      That’s my dilemma and really can’t decide which - given concern about ronaldo being benched/rested for 1 maybe b

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        He won’t rest if United get an easy round 4 draw

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

          Ok thanks in that case prefer ronaldo just

  9. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who are you planning on triple captaining this year?

    I don't want to go Salah. Everyone will triple captain Salah. What gains are you actually making?

    Let's be honest there aren't really that many options are there?

    TAA or Son maybe?

    1. Ci Siamo
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Could go Kane / Son this week?

    2. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Would have deffo done Trent if he had Brentford Leeds. Otherwise if I’m honest I will do Salah for the double which involves Leeds

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

      If you don't go Salah and everyone else does you either fall back massively if it pays off or have a fh TC so to speak to play elsewhere.

      Of course it won't be binary in reality.

      1. rozzo
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        But if you still captain him rather than triple captaining him, how much do you really lose?

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

          One third so yep, that's a good idea if you pick another good option.

    4. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Would Dennis next game week fit the bill?

      1. rozzo
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, thinking about it.

        I will captain him either way

    5. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      My New Years resolution is to okay it on someone completely random in a double next time out. Played it on Bowen this time and looking at Lanzini like it should have been the random guy. I like defenders with good match ups in doubles - all you really need is a return in each and CS are generally easier than goals.

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Trent Cancelo or James only defenders I would play it on and only if two home games

        1. Dammit_182
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I like the call. So this season likely TAA or Cancello if things pan out.

          1. rozzo
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            I triple captained Trent last season if I remember right.

            An assist and no clean sheets over the two games.

            Problem is everyone has Trent. I fancy going on a much lower owner player this year

              Craig Cathcart says hi!

  10. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Any love for Lukaku for the double ???

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Think he plays both? Not exactly in form and whilst recent tiff may be behind them, he's not a nailed starter

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I think he will be nailed. Form was ok until the tiff. Just throwing it out there if someone wanted a differential on a FH mainly

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

      Don’t forget there’s still EFL second leg so think he sits out one of the 2 PL matches + semi final

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

      Not really prefer Kane given east fixtures

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Leicester and Arsenal not that easy

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

          Yeh guess so but thought easier than Chelsea ones

  11. PikeyMikey
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    When will find out if Madders if fit.

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Probably this weekend

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

      Post fa cup probably

  12. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which games do you think could be most at risk of being postponed for what we know now?

    Burnley not over there covid issues and man city is increasing, though with 2 squads they should have enough numbers to field matches

    Still impossible to plan any chip strategy this early

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Now doesn’t really matter given the long wait to next prem game

    2. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think the FA cup might throw up some issues. If they get postponed we lose the double so I’d put the risk there just now.

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

        That’s fair enough.
        So would you say it’s worth using FH when comparing number of dgw players for your team vs the likelihood of other teams or the potential upside on your own team pre / post FH?
        Hope that made sense.

        I’ve only got 3 dgw players and 1FT plus 2x each from Arsenal Pool City West Ham

        1. BUZZBOMB
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I imagine you're well placed for the fixture runs thereafter then. Ive got 4 plus Bachman currenly. Might -4 to get another 2 and BB else just bring Dennis in for Jesus. Not FH. Not even if less doubles in the end.

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

            Not great this week since the 3 dgw players are already highly owned. Will assess the upside or replacements once fixtures confirmed

            DDG
            Trent Cancelo Keane*
            Son Jota Bowen Foden
            Antonio Watkins Dennis
            Steer ESR White Livra

  13. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else prefer to lose Antonio rather than Watkins, Utd will concede, fixtures look decent and possible dbl GW

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Some logic in this. Depends when you plan to WC

    2. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I hate owning Antonio just because he is so massively owned and not owning him has paid out well the last few weeks. Brought him in for the double though and likely hold till WC.

      That said I think Watkins could outscore him and I like the call to drop Antonio and keep Watkins.

  14. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Dennis triple captain a bit too maverick?

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

      A lot too maverick. Better saved for a team scoring plenty of goals but crazier things have happened

    2. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It’s maverick that’s for sure !

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

      Could be majestic. I wish I had the balls rather waiting with the sheep for Salah. Good luck if you go for it 🙂

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Only logical to use it on the highest scoring forward right ?? 😉

    5. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Now that’s what I call balls 2022

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Bon Scott approves

    6. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Salah could have nor + lee in 26. Id probably wait for that

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Or Trent in that week if you want maverick

    7. swanseag55
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I am thinking of bringing him in and Captain him. TC would be so maverick. Normally would say your mad but my other Captain option was Kane and he could blank.

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

      Captain is ballsy enough. Could work.

  15. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio BSilva & James > Dennis Son & 4.8 def worth a -8?

    Would leave me with Ronaldo, Dalot,
    DDG, Son 4.8 def, Dennis, Mount as DGWers

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Any way of getting Denis and Son with out a -8? Or losing Ronaldo ?!

      Who would you play instead of 4.8 def

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        No way of getting Son in without a -8 (unless sell Ronaldo). Would be two of Dalot Gray or new 4.8 defender (prob spurs defender- other defenders are TAA & Cancelo

        1. Meechoo115
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Do the -8 or FH

          1. Feed tha Sheep
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah might FH that’s the team

            DDG
            Dalot TAA Cancelo (James Williams)
            Gray Mount Bowen Jota (Silva)
            Ronaldo Antonio DCL

            1. Meechoo115
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              I wouldn’t FH. Antonio to King. James to Reg or Royal? Or James to Lowton plus Bilva to Son

              Lowton could pay back the hit in extra games depends when you WC

              1. Feed tha Sheep
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Yeah think I will you think King over Dennis?

                1. Meechoo115
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 2 Years
                  2 years, 2 months ago

                  I’m thinking King

  16. tbhogal
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ok King or Kane or guys???

    1. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      The guy with the better points per pound ratio.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      You should choose yourself really Gareth

  17. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If United have an easy round 4 cup draw surely Ronaldo nailed for double. Then might think TC if you don’t want to wait for a Liverpool double

    1. Pompey5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      There will be much better options. I like to give to more nailed players.

  18. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Not that we’re buying WAT defenders but just saying even with a double, they are the only club yet to keep a clean sheet this season!

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Anyway Watford defenders with any attacking threat?

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

        Not really, small potential but their midfield so weak so quite limited

        1. Meechoo115
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Wow. Look at their squad stats. Do they even have any defenders ?!

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

            Not one defender averages 2 points per game

      2. FPL price manipulators are …
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Kiko?

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

      The list of Watford defenders is beyond depressing.

      If Newcastle had a double I'd probably buy Joelinton on a FH lol

  19. swanseag55
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Got 4 DGW’s in Son, Kane, Davies and Bachmann. I want Dennis and my front 3 are Kane, Anontio and Borja. Could do Antonio to Dennis but Antonio has Leeds and could haul.
    I am thinking of doing Raphina to Odegarrd and Borja to Dennis for a -4. I also thinking of captaining Dennis as don’t trust Kane. Surely this is worth the hit as I would also play Coufal if did not have Dennis.

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Do the -4 easy

      1. swanseag55
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Pompey5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Raphina is very consistent. Any other options?

      1. swanseag55
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        He blanked when Leeds put 3 last Burnley. Someone suggested his heads been turned. Also no other option as WC last week and team looks ok. I could do Gray to a £4.5m but Everton have double me coming up and Gray has Norwich this week.

  20. Casual Player
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    This DGW22 sucks.

    I only have 2 doublers but I also only have 2 players that either don’t have a great SGW and/or great fixtures going forward. And I struggle to come up with replacement doublers I like anyway.

    Probably a reluctant FH incoming

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Lot of sgw players will outscore dgw players. Will you want those players going forward ?

    2. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Feels like a waste of a free hit

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

        Yeah I know. Fortunately plenty of time. Still could just play it with 2-3 less starters than average

  21. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bilva/Broja to Maddison/King for -4?

    1. Pompey5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yep.

    2. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah. Likely gets out at least 6 or 7 points extra minimum.

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

      Yea

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Even if I have Dennis?

      Would leave me with 7 DGW players

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        DDG
        RUDIGER, Coufal, TAA
        Foden, Jota, Son, Bowen
        Dennis, Kane (C), Broja

        Subs: Steele, Bilva, Cancelo, White

        1.4 in the bank

  22. Pompey5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Davies
    Son Mount Silva Jota Bowen
    Antonio King

    Foster Livramento Coufal Watkins

    1FT 3.5 ITB (to bring back Salah after ACON)

    A. Silva to Madison
    B. FH (still have both left
    C. Other

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Livra to Lamptey?

  23. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins to Dennis?

    1. Pompey5
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      if you don't have King, then yes.

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

      Yeh

  24. Drumandbaines123
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on Joao Pedro? Has had minutes in every game since GW6 and has been given at least a half in 5 or the last 6 games. Obviously not as good a pick as King or Dennis but wondering if he could eat into their minutes/goal involvements at all over the DGW. Could even go wild and punt on triple Watford attack if on a free hit! The fixtures are there...just would mean no Kane or Ronaldo. Which granted may be a bit scary.

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Deffo want Ronaldo or Kane on FH. Probably both and choose a Watford striker

      Only definite on free hit for me are

      Brighton defender or keeper
      Son
      Ronaldo
      Watford striker

      Then probably
      Madisson
      Burnley defender
      Spurs defender
      Kane
      Ddg

  25. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    FH or just do Salah & Watkins to Ronaldo & Gordon for a - 4?

    Current team:
    Ramsdale
    Trent Cancelo Alonso
    Son Gray Bowen Jota
    Dennis Watkins Antonio

    Subs: Foster, Salah, James, Tierney

    1. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Salah and Watkins to Ronaldo and Leicester midfielder

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

      Can you get tielemens instead of Gordon or even Barnes / Maddison

      1. Oooo Matron
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I could get a Leicester mid, but who would I drop? Gray or Bowen?

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

          Salah?

  26. Gazwaz80
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi all, do you think Foster will replace Bachman for the D/G week? he’s estimated to be back 15th January but even though Spurs beat them 0-1 last week he still earned 5 points, 3 points earned with 9 saves, cheers…

    1. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Unfortunately he's still a couple of weeks away...he's on my bench too!

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, tempted to benchboost if he plays….

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

      Unfortunately Sounds like few weeks away - I was hoping to bring in from sub bench

  27. Ray85
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is DDG worth a -4 to bench Ramsdale?

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. Though you could sell ramsdale for Ddg

      1. Ray85
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks - rather keep Ramsdale and get rid of Foster. Long term I'd rather have Ramsdale but he's got a couple of blanks coming up soon.

        1. Meechoo115
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Remember you will WC soon. And United have good fixtures

          1. Ray85
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            True but since I dumped Ronaldo I've got the funds to keep both for now!

  28. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bench one: Bernardo/Laporte/Cancelo (CHE) or Coady (SOU)

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bench Laporte to hedge. Chelsea will go all out for the win.

  29. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If you still have salah , no spurs, max city and some arsenal … if Egypt lose first game = FH

  30. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Dennis or king?

    1. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Going both personally. Already have King but will transfer Dennis in.
