The Scout Squad’s best FPL players for Double Gameweek 22

The best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for Double Gameweek 22 are discussed as the Scout Squad returns after its winter break.

For those new to this feature, it’s a weekly piece that always takes the form of a ‘Free Hit’-type selection for the upcoming Gameweek.

Fantasy Football Scout contributors Az, Sam, Neale and Tom each propose an 18-man long-list of Fantasy players, explaining their notable inclusions and omissions in the article below.

The Scout Squad also serves as a precursor to the Scout Picks, as the players listed will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.0m) for final our weekly selection ahead of Friday’s deadline.

Each writer must meet the following requirements:

  • At least one goalkeeper costing £5.0m or less
  • At least one sub-£5.0m defender
  • At least one midfielder listed at £6.5m or below
  • At least one forward priced at £7.0m or lower
  • No more than three players from the same club

    Rough with the Smooth, Gameweek 21.

    How did your Gameweek go?

    You can share your tales of joy and woe here.

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Terrible.

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

      Like many, smooth was Bowen(c), the obvious choice.
      Not too much rough with 79 pts. No returns from KDB, Cancelo, Mount or Dennis was a bit unfortunate.

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

      92 points. up to 70k OR

    4. Hits Magnet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bowen as Capt and scored 75 points with no hits and managed to drop a 1000 places to 12k ?? not sure how I achieved that 🙁

    5. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Upside;
      - 83 no hits.

      Downside;
      - West Ham fan that hates betting on his own players in case of the double-whammy if it backfires. Wanted to TC Bowen. Didn't have the guts, but luckily gave him armband.
      - Johnson (already had him wasn't a double GW panic transfer) 0 pointer with Gelhardt's 4 on the bench (someone I've been praising recently)
      - Everton 2nd fixture cancelled means James > Keane back fired (it was free, but it's costing me this week - 22 - now) as bench players earned just as many as him

    6. snow pea in repose
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bowen (c) and Coufal saved my week...

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

      Rough: Antonio over Bowen Captain and taking a hit for Gray and the second game getting postponed, red arrow tripled my rank in the past 3 weeks.

      Smooth: Bowen not scoring more goals today and heaping more misery on us non cappers. Lucky to escape with just a small red.

    8. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth - Bowen (c). Saka and Alonso auto sub in for Maddison and Watkins

    9. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      70, so it went ok. Tripled up westham. Bernardo benched for Raphina, and Bachman for Guita cost 8 points. Antonio (c) over Bowen was another complain 😀

    10. Johan Queef
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth: Coufal recovering from mystery covid for a CS and assist. Watkins not playing so Broja off the bench. First green arrow in a long while.

      Rough: taking a -8 to get Son (injured) and Gray (match postponed).

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

      Rough. Pickford 1 and dcl 0 in for ramsdale and edouard 6 for a -4. Would have started Bachmann 5. Down 14 on the 2 transfers due to eve postponement. Also Antonio captain over bowen and Johnson 0. Alonso 6 left on bench.
      Bringing kane in early and snow match was the start of an awful run. 43k down to 157k in few weeks through bad luck.

    12. sulldaddy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bowen cap saved week. Coufal good and a bunch of zeros or minimum points
      71 total dropped to ~50k OR

    13. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      got knock out of the cup by 4 points due to Johnson no show and or pp of Everton game, had Gray and DCL for that match

    14. umerlfc
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth

      Bowen (TC)
      103 points
      52k - > 18k

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        The unmitigated gall...i love it.

    15. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Played my WC and got 97 points
      Original team would have scored 30!

    16. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      79.

      Rough, Antonio cap not Bowen.

      Smooth, Still in all cups.

    17. The Bad Seed
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth: Absolutely nothing
      Rough: from 3k to 10k in 1 GW....

    18. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rough: not much

      Smooth: From 400k to 250k. Best GW of the season. Bowen obviously, but the 12 by Coufal, the Broja goal, Son and Jota and Antonio pitching in. I got a GW right lol. Thank you, Hammers...

    19. Igz08
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth - Coufal in, Bowen (tc). 112 points - gw rank 1,319! And into the top 10k

      Rough - well, I should hardly be complaining 🙂

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

      Bowen cap, and 993 in the world. Welcome to Liverpool in the summer Jarrod!

    21. Toby Lerone
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rough: DCL 0, Johnson 0 (benched alonso)
      Smooth: bowen C 42 points thankfully saved me. 74 (-4) all out

    22. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rough - Took a hit to bring in DCL & Doucoure for Salah and Broja for a net loss of 17 pts + a FT.

      Smooth - Bowen (c) and 81 pts (-4) overall.

    23. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth: brought in Coufal,
      captained Bowen
      98pts and OR 550

      Rough: they only way now is down.

    24. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth: James and Joelinton (yes, I know) to Coufal and Antonio. 104 points -4 with Bowen (C) and even Gelhart off the bench for 4. Nice big green arrow.

      Rough: teams a mess for next week. Salah, Son, Gelhart out and need transfers. Regulion doubtful. Probable free hit incoming.

    25. dansmusen
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty smooth week getting Bowen and Coufal for a hit and scored 87. 200k rank but still only 8 in my cash ML.

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

      Smooth: Bowen (c), Coufal. No Foden or Maddison gave me Alonso jam off the bench.
      Rough: had £5 @ 150/1 on a Bowen hattrick

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

      Rough
      i had no dgw players so i used FH, lost Pickford & Gray through postponement and capped Antonio over Bowen

      Smooth
      67pts and only an 11k rank drop, it could have been worse i suppose without the FH, and it could have been much better if i made the right captain choice and picked better players 😆

    28. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth:
      Y.Nott, the early leader in the January to May League, triple captained Jarrod Bowen for a score of 117 and a Gameweek Rank of 310.
      The top ten in this mini-league all scored 100 or more. They all captained Bowen of course, and four of them triple captained him.

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

        No Smooth.
        The Rough was we had one of our very frequent mini-powercuts while I was sorting out my team, and I only noticed just after the deadline that my Bowen captaincy hadn't registered 🙁

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

          Hmmmm

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

      Rollercoaster!

      Rough:
      - GW20 WC, bought in:
      -- DCL & Gray. They have 2 points in total between them since.
      -- Dalot & Telles. They have 1 point in total between them since.
      -- Sterling. He didn't play and then I already sold him in GW21.
      -- Watkins. He had no fixture and then I already sold him in GW21.
      -- King, thinking Dennis was going to AFCON.
      -- Son. Injured already.

      Smooth:
      - Overall gain of 45pts from two transfers:
      -- Took a hit to sell Watkins (no-show) & Sterling (2) for Antonio (9) & Bowen (21)
      -- Without those moves, I would have got an impressive 0ps from captaining DCL in his DGW
      Cheries on the cake:
      - Telles & Dalot no-shows brought Trent (4) & Jota (5) off the bench 😀
      - GR of 386,570, and the first time in the top 2m all season! (1,666,072) Wooo ❗

  2. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    On FH. Too many 2s?

    DDG²
    Rüdiger² Alonso² Reguilon²
    Bruno² Maddison² Moura² Tielemans²
    Ronaldo² Kane² Dennis²

    [Bachman² Bowen Brownhill² Tsimikas]

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Very solid FH team. Bowen and TAA/Jota could get very good SGW points though.

    2. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno - Has one attacking return in his last 8 (I excluded the game he missed) and United are in dire form. Jota or Bowen instead?
      Alonso - Will blank or get a minus against City. Trent or Robbo better choice (would require the Bruno downgrade I believe)..
      Rudiger - As above

      *Sidenote, if need additional funds for the above, no way DDG doesn't start so may as well make Bachman a 3.9 for additional funds.

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        He's due, for sure. I may see more sense nearer the time, but now thinking I might as well go big or go home, balls out and double players in.

    3. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Like the notation

      1. Hits from the Bong

        Thanks, I plagiarised it from a previous post. Like the gravatar

  3. Trovsmash
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bit of feedback please, the rookiest of errors and got Son in before he got injured, any moves are for hits.

    Rank after subs 25k

    Lloris
    Trent, Dias, Cancelo
    Bsilva, Jota, Bowen, Gray
    Dennis, DCL, Antonio

    Son, James, Livra, Foster

    A. Son to Madders (c) -4
    B. Son & James to Madders & Robbo -8
    (Jota -> Salah when hes back).
    C. Son, Antonio or DCL & James to Madders, Kane (c) & Robbo - 12
    D. Something else, please help!

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

      This looks tough enough. I've been summoned

      Wildcard. Bench Foden, Dias, Cash and Forster (Southampton)

      Ignore premium forwards: keep your frontline, Trent, Jota, Gray and Bowen

      Hold enough money ITB for Maddison and Jota to Salah and Coutinho, as your two free transfers over GWs 23 and 24. Alternatively, Antonio to Watkins for GW23 and Jota to Salah for GW24. Maddison is fixture proof, but you might bench him for Gray sometimes, especially Everton's upcoming DGWs

      James, Bernardo, Lloris, Livra and Son can go now. They've served you well, but aren't needed in the second half of the season. Ait-Nouri and maybe Royal (ignore Brighton) can come in for Livra and James

      I'd advise Sa over DDG, but that's just me

      It's easier to plan here: https://www.livefpl.net/myteam/

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

        Thanks for all the thoughts and info mate, much appreciated!

    2. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      just do a -4 Son to Maddison/Tielemans/Moura, don't bother with big hits, maybe squeeze kane in for -8

  4. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA | Cancelo | Cash
    Jota | Foden | Bowen | Brownhill
    Ronaldo | Antonio | Dennis

    Steele | Johnson | Salah | Goode

    1FT, 2.1 ITB.
    Trade plan is to either upgrade Brownhill (6.4 to spend) or Goode (6.0 to spend), thoughts on, which option is best?
    The other alternative would be to FH, however, Son's injury has me less interested.

  5. putana
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    other than the penalty miss how did dcl look in the game he played?

    really tempted to get him in against norwich. If not then king

  6. Willesden Mariner
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Jota (SGW) or Moura (DGW)?

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

      hard to say how liverpool will play without salah mane. i would go moura

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

      Jota

  7. bigdip
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Took a hit to bring Maddison for Son. Shall I take another hit to bring in Jota or Moura for Raphinha/Bilva or used 2nd FH? (Current & FH team below):

    Current Team
    Ramsdale
    Rudiger Sanchez TAA Cancelo (Tierney)
    Maddison Raphinha Bilva (ESR, Brownhill)
    Ronaldo (c) King Watkins*

    FH Team
    DDG
    Rüdiger ALONSO REGUILON
    Maddison JOTA MOURA TIELEMANS
    Ronaldo DENNIS KANE

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Current team with 5 DGWers is pretty good, although already on a hit.
      Not understanding your use of Upper/Lower case on your free hit team though. They all have DGW apart from Jota (Assuming Brownhill doesn’t play)
      I’d be tempted to FH seeing as you have 2 of them. I’ve got a similar dilemma.

  8. Boberella
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bottomed last page, any help here DZ?

    Been completely set on FH for 22 for the last 2 weeks, but having second thoughts now and just considering. -4 instead to field 6 DGWers.

    Sanchez*
    TAA Reguilon* Cancelo
    Mount* KDB Bilva Bowen
    Dennis* Watkins Pukki

    Steele Dawson Livra Son
    1FT 3.3itb

    A) Son + Pukki > Maddison + Kane/Ron (-4)
    B) FH and get DDG, Kane, Ronaldo, Alonso, Maddison, Moura, Lamptey, and a good bench

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think that team needs a FH, so A for me

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

        Somewhere around the pages here. May the guy who wrote it or me reading it... got lost in the translation

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

    Are Villa really with a chance of a DGW?
    Read something about Watkins getting a DGW?

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not that I’m aware of. Where did you hear that?

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Scoutcast, available in the archives

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        So Villa potential DGW in 23 not 22. Thanks mate

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

    Anyone hear where Reguilon was today?

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Havent heard anything definitive.
      Hopefully being rested for his big DGW22 hauls!

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

    Do I buy Maddison short term or Jota for the long term?

  12. karno123
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who are people picking for double gameweek, Emerson or Reguilón? And why?

  13. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this FH?

    Lloris
    Trent • Alonso • Cucurella
    Maddison • Mount • Jota • Lucas
    Kane(C) • CR7 • King

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, not bad. Lloris and Cucarella different to most FH teams I’ve seen. Could work out well.
      I’d prefer Dennis over King though.

  14. james 101
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    How many games will these DGW players play in?

    A. Dier

    B. James

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Both have knocks but I’ve not seen any recent updates.

      1. karno123
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Are you talking about Reece James? If so, Tuchel said he will be sidelined for 8 weeks.

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Yes.

          Oh. Missed that. And it’s not on the injury listing here or his info on the site.

          Thanks mate!

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

    Mates, needs your input

    A) Watkins Son to Ronaldo Maddison (-4)

    B) Free hit, though Im not fascinated by the fixs

    Fab
    TAA Rudiger** Keane Cancelo
    Son Bernardo Gray Bowen
    Antonio Watkins

    Steer Saka, Livra, Scarlett

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      With only 1 DGW player and 1FT, I’d almost certainly FH that if you have 2 FHs.
      There is however, talk of Villa being in with a shout of a DGW (apparently), and With WHU good fixtures, just Son to Maddy for free would be the non FH move for me.

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

        I will wait until Friday then.
        Will make a draft for a fh tomorrow

      2. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Or lose Antonio instead.

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Got off the bus yesterday and said cheers mate to the driver. She screamed back at me "I'm not your fecking mate"
      Took me back tbh!

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

        :Ddd Good one, "mate" 🙂

    3. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      You have got so many good single gameweekers there, honestly just take a hit or two

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

        Yeah, initial plan is to do get Ronaldo Maddy and thats it.
        I was thinking also for Dennis but then I will have to make a lot of transfers to get Salah back.

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

      A for me

    5. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A looks ok, don't think it's worth FH at all

  16. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Looking to bring in a couple more DGWers with 2 FT but most of my SGWers have great fixtures, feel I'll be debating this right up until deadline.

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

      Can’t think of too many dgw players I’d want to use transfer on for the coming weeks

  17. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Best move here?

    De Gea
    TAA - 
Rüdiger - Reguilón
    Jota - Bowen - Raphinha - Gray
    Ronaldo - Antonio - Watkins

    (Ramsdale) - Bernardo - Cancelo - Livramento) - 2 FT - 2 FHs in hand

      Why do you want to get rid Antonio? Leeds, Watford, and Newcastle are teams with worst defense.

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

        Maybe because Antonio has been very poor over the last 10 gameweeks?

    Who should I pick up this week, Reguilón, Emerson or Lamptey?

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

      For what? FT? Emerson. Cheaper than Regu while Lamptey has blank GW24. But if you have enough cover in GW24, you can go Lamptey though since Brighton's fixture is pretty good.

    Hi I know it was not the beat time to WC but it’s to late for me, I hit the button couple days ago because my team looked like a christmas tree. Later I learned most of the flags were not big deal so… I kind of regret but the past is past… I want to put some good thinking into this now… I appreciate your thoughts and critics…

    Current draft:

    DDG Rams
    TAA Cancelo Reguilon Lamptey Targget
    Jota Maddison Moura Bowen Ramsey
    Ronaldo Kane King(or Dennis)

    The idea is to drop one of Kane or Ronaldo to get Salah later. Or even both and get Kdb as well…

    1. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Dennis > King.
      Can you drop Targett? Digne signing probably ousts him. Look to a WOL defender (2nd best defensive team in the league - only City have conceded less).
      Moura - I get why most want him this week on DGW but after that not a fan, che next and then Son's expected back. Not sure who to recommend instead, Gray probably, next five are; nor AVL new LEE sou. Not bad at all.

    2. Cantonesque
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Targett and Ramsey could have minutes threatened by Digne and Coutinho?

      Kane/Ron is bold, probably right way to use WC at this juncture.

      Moura and Maddison are DGW picks as opposed to WC picks - and I'm not convinced by their prospects for hauls in DGW. Maybe at least one of them should be a longer-term pick - City is your glaring midfield absence, Arsenal also an option with several high-scoring mids to choose from and great fixtures on the horizon (though also some blanks).

    I feel like the DGW hasn't changed my plans too much but it has thrown a mini-spanner in my plans... 1FT & 7.8M ITB!

    DDG²
    Trent (c), Cancelo, Johnson, Keane
    Son, Bernardo, Bowen, Gray
    Dennis², Antonio

    Steele, Mahrez, Gelhardt*, Rudiger²

    My initial transfer plans were Mahrez & Rudiger > KDB & Robbo (-4). The injury to Son throws a spanner in the works. I can instead do Mahrez & Son > KDB & Jota (-4) and bench Johnson. Then it's do I start Keane against a toothless Norwich or do I run Rudiger for his double? Alternatively I can do Mahrez, Son, Rudiger > KDB, Jota & Robbo (-8).

    Rest of the team, DDG has a double, Trent plays BRE. Cancelo & Bernardo play CHE and I think they smash them to flex why they're really champions of Europe. Bowen (is on fire) and Antonio have the third worst defensive team in the league in LEE visiting. Gray plays the worst team in the league and well Dennis has the glorious double of two of the bottom three.

    Thoughts/suggestions/what haven't I thought of? (I don't think I need to FH)

    1. Cantonesque
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Just Son to Jota for me. Play Rudiger over Jonnson.

        Yeah if I picked A, in order to get Dennis, would be -4 for Toney or DCL

        2. SAY MY NAME
          • 6 Years

          i'd do Toney to a Watford striker as 1st move....i don't think Bruno or Trossard are worth hits unless you can't field a reasonable playing 11

          1. No Kane No Gain
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            I’m chasing big time at the moment, and I feel Toney might grab a shady goal in one of the 2 games..

            A Bruno goal could make up for the hit I suppose?!

    Thoughts/suggestions/what haven't I thought of? (I don't think I need to FH)

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      KDB overpriced for me, for his from and the Pep roulette, maybe do Son and Mahrez to Maddison+Moura, 2 x gwers and money left to bring Salah back in a couple of weeks

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I think KDB is the most nailed player in that midfield. With no Mahrez as well and Torres gone that means Sterling/Jesus/Foden/Grealish for the wings and KDB/Rodri/Bernardo for the centre

        Not a fan of Moura because after GW22 three of their next four are against the best three defensive teams in the league.

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not a fan of -8, but your B looks good. I would buy KdB and Maddison though. I would also play Rudiger and bench Keane. Not confident of either Chelsea or Everton defense. I understand that Everton plays Norwich, but its an away game while Rudiger has 2 chances of clean sheet. And, who knows CHE vs MCI may turn out to be a Champions League final replay.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        My concern with Maddison is no recognised striker in the team at the moment and with the exception of GW22 his fixtures look awful.

        Nah Chelsea need to win so they have to attack and City will just ruin them. I get what you mean with the double attempt at a clean sheet for Rudiger though

  28. banskt
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Considering a BB this week. What do you think?

    Lloris
    Lamptey, Alexander-Arnold, Rudiger, Dalot
    Gallagher, Jota, Bowen
    Calvert-Lewin, Antonio, Dennis (C)
    (Ramsdale, Bernardo, Cancelo, Son*)

    1FT 3.3m itb.

    a) Son -> Maddison
    b) a + Antonio -> Kane / Ronaldo (-4)

    1. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Antonio to Kane/Ronaldo is a short-term move. In the next five weeks West Ham play the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th worst defensive teams in the league.

  29. FPL Doctor
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Lamptey
    Foden Maddison Jota Bowen
    CR7 King Watkins

    Ramsdale Bilva James* Livra*

    A) James —> spurs defender (bench Watkins and play 442)

    B) Bilva —> Maddison (bench Watkins and play 352)

    A has 2 on the bench. B leaves me with just 1 on the bench

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      james is probably the priority to shift since he's injured and has couple of blanks coming up anyway

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

    Best move here?

    A) Salah -> Maddison* (bench Gray/Brownhill*)
    B) Dalot -> Lowton*
    C) A + B (-4)
    D) Save FT

    DDG*
    Dalot*, Trent, Dawson
    Jota, Bowen, Gray, Brownhill*
    CR7*, King*, Antonio

    Ramsdale, Cancelo, Keane, Salah
    Bank 0.3m, 1FT

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

      I would have done A and benched Brownhill. B is also very tempting, but do you think Dalot is going to miss both the games? If yes, then you could play Cancelo and bench Dalot. If no, then there's no need to transfer out a healthy dgw player.

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

        Dalot is a difficult one - played the last game and they kept a CS, but still feel he’s 2nd choice to Wan-B. If shifting him to Lowton then it also opens up a MUN spot (Bruno perhaps).

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Didn’t he go off injured in the last game?

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

            Do you mean Dalot, Wan-B or Bruno? I thought they were all fit but could be wrong

            1. Hits from the Bong
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Dalot went off with a massive gash and/or injured ankle I think

        2. banskt
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Agree, and Lowton looks solid long term option. Also, they have 2 home matches this week, but against two quite attacking opponents, Watford and Leicester.

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A and bench Brownhill.
