The best FPL goalkeepers for a Double Gameweek 22 Free Hit

Following Thursday’s announcement that eight top-flight teams are due to play twice in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Double Gameweek 22, over a third of Fantasy Football Scout users have said they are planning to activate their Free Hit chip.

With that in mind, we’ll be taking a position-by-position look at the best FPL options for those looking at ‘Free Hit’ transfer targets ahead of the upcoming fixtures.

All stats taken from this article are from our Premium Members Area.

DAVID DE GEA

After conceding in each of their last three outings against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Burnley and Newcastle United, questions have been raised over Manchester United’s defence, with the early promise under Ralf Rangnick giving way to some all-too-familiar concerns.

Still, a Double Gameweek involving trips to Aston Villa and Brentford does give David de Gea (£5.2m) the chance to add to his clean sheet tally.

The Spaniard has been excellent for United this season despite the club’s poor results, recapturing his best form.

Since Rangnick arrived in Gameweek 15, de Gea is averaging 5.2 points per match, while his +3.10 expected goals (xG) prevented total is better than any other keeper. Notably, his 87.5% save percentage is only trumped by Wolves’ Jose Sa (£5.1m), with his seven saves against Newcastle a prime example of just how crucial he is to the Red Devils.

DE GEA’S RECORD UNDER RANGNICK:
GameweekOpponentScoreSavesBonusFPL points
15Crystal Palace (h)1-0206
16Norwich City (a)1-05310
19Newcastle United (a)1-1715
20Burnley (h)3-1202
21Wolverhampton Wanderers (h)0-1503

Across the entire season, just four clean sheets in 19 appearances is underwhelming and well behind others on this list, but two of those have arrived under the German tactician, making de Gea one of the best Double Gameweek 22 goalkeepers on offer.

As for United, Luke Shaw (£5.0m) and Scott McTominay (£5.4m) are on the banned list for their Double Gameweek opener at Villa Park, though Harry Maguire (£5.4m) might be back.

ROBERT SANCHEZ

Robert Sanchez (£4.6m) has been in fine form for Brighton and Hove Albion this season, keeping six clean sheets across his 18 Premier League appearances.

It’s also worth noting that since returning from suspension in Gameweek 13, the Spanish international has racked up an impressive 28 saves, more than any other keeper bar de Gea, Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m) and Daniel Bachmann (£4.3m).

SANCHEZ’S RECORD SINCE RETURNING FROM SUSPENSION:
GameweekOpponentScoreSavesBonusFPL points
13Leeds United (h)0-0418
14West Ham United (a)1-1414
15Southampton (a)1-1303
17Wolverhampton Wanderers (h)0-1403
19Brentford (h)2-0529
20Chelsea (a)1-1403
21Everton (a)3-2402

The second of Brighton’s Double Gameweek fixtures against Chelsea is a little off-putting, given that Thomas Tuchel’s side have scored in all but one of their 10 Premier League away matches this term.

However, there is potential for a clean sheet against Crystal Palace, with the Eagles only managing nine goals on the road in 2021/22, while their 7.75 xG tally ranks in the bottom three.

HUGO LLORIS

Hugo Lloris (£5.4m) is enjoying a decent season at Tottenham Hotspur, and from the point that Antonio Conte took charge in north London, has quietly kept five clean sheets in eight fixtures, averaging 5.1 points per match.

During that time, he has saved 83.3% of shots faced, though his save count of 20 is lower than others on this list.

LLORIS’ RECORD UNDER CONTE:
GameweekOpponentScoreSavesBonusFPL points
11Everton (a)0-0206
12Leeds United (h)2-1604
14Brentford (h)2-0217
15Norwich City (h)3-0106
18Liverpool (h)2-2402
19Crystal Palace (h)3-0006
20Southampton (a)1-1102
21Watford (a)1-0418

The Lilywhites’ double-header is also far from straightforward, with games against Arsenal and Leicester City, who rank fifth and sixth respectively for goals scored in 2021/22.

That suggests it may be wiser to use that third Spurs slot, presuming you already own Son Heung-min (£10.7m) and Harry Kane (£12.2m) of course, on a defender with potential for attacking returns, like Sergio Reguilon (£5.4m) or the kinder-priced Emerson Royal (£4.9m).

KEPA ARRIZABALAGA

Having lost Edouard Mendy (£6.2m) to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Kepa Arrizabalaga (£4.7m) will deputise for Chelsea in Double Gameweek 22.

The Spaniard had a disastrous 2019/20 campaign, but has performed well when called upon this season, particularly in the EFL Cup. Add to that his UEFA Super Cup penalty shootout heroics against Villarreal and a clean sheet in his only Premier League outing so far, and there is very little Kepa has done wrong.

Encouragingly, he also kept a clean sheet on his return to the starting XI against Spurs on Wednesday, and comfortably dealt with late attempts from Kane and Giovani Lo Celso (£5.9m).

However, a quick look at the schedule does dampen enthusiasm a little, with Manchester City one of their two fixtures. Despite that, there is potential for save points at the Etihad, whilst Brighton have already failed to score in four of their nine home matches this season.

THE OTHER CANDIDATES

Daniel Bachmann and Watford arguably have the best pair of fixtures on offer, though Ben Foster (£4.1m) may still have a chance of being fit, albeit small, which will need to be monitored on the run-up to Double Gameweek 22.

However, given that the Hornets are the only Premier League side who have failed to keep a single clean sheet all season, it’s debatable if it’s worth it even with appealing fixtures against Newcastle United (a) and Burnley (a).

Elsewhere, Kasper Schmeichel (£4.8m), Nick Pope (£5.4m) and Alvaro Fernandez (£4.5m) are alternative options who should play twice, but their respective defences have been poor to date, whilst there are arguably more appealing options ahead of them, including Matthew Lowton (£4.4m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.3m).

Meanwhile, Jordan Pickford (£4.9m) probably has the best clean sheet potential amongst those playing once, though individual errors are hurting Everton at the moment, with midfield duo Allan (£4.4m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.4m) often exposed under Rafa Benitez.

      Nice DGW team, nothing worth a -4

  2. Jässi
    • 6 Years

    Better to take -8 to get a good team for DGW22 (and also need another transfer(s) later on to bring Salah back in) or just play FH now and keep Salah on bench until he comes back?

  3. drughi

    What to do here ? 1 ft and 0.3 itb. FH or take a hit or two ?

      Nice team, wouldnt FH. Maybe D as DCL might be not fit?

  4. The FPL Units

          Still worth knowing about before you buy him.

      Good moves, would probably prefer to get Reguilon instead of Emerson though

      Yeah man, when will you ever be in a better position to bench boost?

  7. CrouchDown

    I'm not sure why everyone was so eager for Newcastle to confirm Trippier, he told his mates weeks ago $$$

  8. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years

    Totally missed the DGW announcement and somehow only have Sanchez and Bavies in my side that have a double. Time for some FH faffing!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      It was only announced yesterday and you'll likely want to wait until after West Ham finish gw21 on Wednesday before confirming.

      Good luck.

    Morning dzz, best moves here with 1ft and 2m itb?

    If i do Gungod/Antonio >> Son/King (-4), i get to the following team wit (4 doublers potentially)

    Ramsdale -- Foster
    Taa Cancelo Dalot* -- Coufal Liv
    Jota Bowen Foden Gundog -- Raph (whu)
    DCL Antonio Ron*

    A: Gundog + Antonio >> Son + King (-4) + 0.3....= 4 doublers (inc. Dalot)
    B: Gundog + Antonio + Foster >> Son + King + Bachman (-8) exact funds
    C: Gundog + DCL + Ramsdale >> Son + King + Ddg (-8) exact funds
    D: FH with 8/9 doublers

    Seriously considering playing my WC this week. I have 5 changes that I want to make this week and think it's a good opportunity to get ahead of the template. I have 2 FH's to deal with blank and double GW's. Any thoughts? This is the current WC draft:

    1.3m ITB

    Lloris (Ramsdale)
    TAA Robbo Alonso Lamptey (Cancelo)
    Son Jota Bowen (Martinelli Allan)
    Kane Dennis Antonio

    Will get rid of Kane to get Salah when he returns.

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

      There's a big problem.

      You have no Liverpool slots.

      I really don't like this WC tbh. It's very short sighted and the team balance is very poor.

      1. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        TAA and Jota?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          For Salah back probably it meant

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Short sighted? Many players are for long term there ... balance? Yeah probably, need beefing up the midfield.

      3. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I'd probably get rid of Jota to get Salah back. Can see Jota being rotated more.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          This, I can see that plan

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

          Robertson has not been worth his price all season. And you're picking him up as a SGW player this week.

          I just wouldn't go there. No City attack for next week. Antonio wouldn't make it on my WC, I'd look further ahead and pick/bench Danny Ings for this week with an eye on his good run of games.

          I just would build it very differently if I was WC'ing.

          I'd look at:

          DDG Sanchez
          TAA Cancelo Emerson Veltman XX
          Son Jota Maddison Foden Bowen
          Ronaldo Ings Dennis

          Something like this.

          1. panda07
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks for the feedback.

            As a Liverpool fan, Robbo seems to be very dangerous going forward for the last few games and has 43 points in his last 6.

            I take your point about Man City attackers but I'm getting pretty sick of them tbh. I've wasted too many transfers on them.

            You could be right about Antonio and I will look at other forward options.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nice one, I may do the same. Alonso is the one I am uncertain on from that squad. No United?

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah United are a shambles at the moment so I don't have much interest in their assets.

        Alonso will become Laporte next week.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I may WC after DGW ... will take few hits and wait for a bit but probably end up with the squad not that far away from that

  11. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi I have only used first WC and have all the other chips banked.
    Still think I will only roll one FT this week, anyone else in the same boat?

    DDG, Foster
    Cancelo, Trent, Reguilon, Livra, James*
    Jota, Son, Bowen, Foden, Gundo*
    King, Watkins*, Antonio

    Think I'll do James --> Robertson
    Other possible transfer is Gundo + Watkins/Ant --> Ronaldo and fodder for -4 but not tempted by that.

    Thoughts?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Team looks good ... good to have all chips and FT. The headache on when to use them will come later btw 😛

    Just listening to Blackbox. I cant believe some sad scumbag hacker went through the effort of taking a 604 hit to ruin Les Caldwell's season.

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

      He probably wrote few lines of code to take those hits, not much effort required 😀

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

      Ridiculous.

      I know of other games where there's protection against that kind of thing. For instance, where you can only sack one player from your virtual team's squad in a 24 hour period.

      Perhaps FPL could introduce a measure where you can only take say three hits in a single day? I guess if the hacker changes the person's e-mail address and password that becomes an irrelevance though.

    3. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I don't see the mindset of the hacker. It's was done out of sheer badness and to no gain whatsoever for the hacker.

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 8 Years

        He’s my differential this week and yes he should.
        Either that or he’ll play as a winger and has looked really good so far.

  21. Dušan Citizen

    Are people really getting Ronaldo with that price after all those bad games?

    United are playing as a team from Serbian league - no plan, no running, no attacking actions, with a player or two who think they are super stars and can do anything but they can't. Switch them to some Serbian stadium and you'll see no difference from the other teams in the league.

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Agree. I have Ronaldo but I wouldnt be looking to bring him in if I didn't.

          Hahah that's the thing. He will get an unexpected haul out of nowhere like the Burnley game.

            • 10 Years

            Very true unfortunately... That's why I'm getting Son, although I don't like how Spurs seem attacking wise. He just gets some odd assist out of nowhere.

      I have him and I am not selling but I agree. I would not get him, even on a free hit (although I'm not playing a FH so I don't know if the extra cash would be needed).

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Giving him the armband tho?

        1. hustler7
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Him or Son for me

        2. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Son I think

    So how much do we think Coutinho will be then in FPL? Quite a tough one to predict actually. Im gonna go 7.5-8.

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

      Yep something like that in line with Watkins/Ings

    2. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yep that’s about right.
      7.5-8 is my guess as well(won’t be surprised if he’s 7m as well)
      Jota was priced at 7.5 so it’s hard to justify pricing him at that

    3. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      7.0

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

      It should be 6.5 to 7 for me.

      The Raphinha, Maddison, Bowen price point.

  23. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    No Son/Kane is the obvious risk, anything worth doing?

    BB: Ramsdale Dalot Foden Martinelli? Chicken out at the moment 😛

    Lloris (Ramsdale)
    TAA Cancelo Keane Reguilon (Dalot)
    Jota Bowen Tielemans (Foden Martinelli)
    Ronaldo Antonio Dennis

    Should a bench of foster (new a, Burnley a) Gray (nor a) Coady (Sou H) and Coufal (Lee H) entertain bench boost this week?!

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

      Foster will play?

    2. hustler7
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I would say so! Only questionable one is Foster, is he due back for both, one or none?

    How many DGW players is deemed sufficient for GW22 providing all doubles go ahead?

    I'm pretty happy with my team but only have 3 players currently for the doubles with 1FT. Is 4 sufficient or a hit for 5?

    Still have my 2 FH chips available as options too.

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

      Even 3 or 4 can be enough imo

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I have 3 without transfers - Fernandez, Maguire and Toney. I know they are awful choices, but I think I will only get Son, King/Dennis and maybe one more for -8.

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'm probably going with 5 without hits

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

    Have only 3 DGW players before any transfers, but also have DCL Gray Bowen Antonio Jota TAA with excellent fixture.
    Starting to think there will be better opportunities later, hopefully jumping from average player/fixture to good players/good 2 fixtures.
    Those in similar boat, what is your plan? I know those with 5-6 DGW players already its a no brainer save the FH for better use.

    1. hustler7
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Haha see my post above, I think 5-6 DGW is sufficient.

      I'm on 3 currently with a FT so could have 4, you think a -4 for 5 is the best way to go rather than FH?

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

        Probably, or maybe not even -4 unless there is a weak spot need fixing.

    2. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I have currently 4 DGW players, probably going to save FH and taking -4 to get two more players in.
      All my SGW players have great fixtures too and could easily outscore DGW players.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Same plan. Currently have Foster (unlikely), Alonso, Son and King. Likely bring in 2 DGWers (-4)

  27. HD7
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Have the 2 Free hits, wonder if it is worthy to use one of them next GW?

    Have 1FT, the team is:

    Fab
    TAA Rudiger Keane Cancelo
    Son Bernardo Gray Bowen
    Antonio Watkins

    Steer Livra, Saka, Scarlett

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Depends what transfers you are looking at.

    Anyone been following coutinho since he left Liverpool? How has he performed?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Has been poor

    2. Random Name
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly like a player leaving Barcelona and going to an English club in the bottom half of the table

    3. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      TERRIBLE at Bayern.
      Struggled to get a game, or any rhythm at Barca.

      He's probably still better than most of what Villa have, but he's nothing compared to who he was when he was last in the Prem.

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      If he get a manager who got confidence in him and use him correctly he will light up the league. If that is back to the Liverpool days i dont think, but he was world class tbf.

    Any Watford fans in here know what injury Dennis has? He has been ruled out of the FA Cup game according to the Watford Observer.

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

        Nicely rested for two DGW starts then!

  30. George James
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Best option?

    A) Dennis + Tielemans

    B) King + Maddison.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one. Lean towards B

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

      B

    3. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I actually prefer A.
      Tielemans potentially on pens if Vardy isn't on the pitch.

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A
