Scout Picks

FPL Double Gameweek 22 Scout Picks features double-ups from four clubs

We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players for Double Gameweek 22 ahead of today’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

We line up in a 4-3-3 formation and, as ever, are limited to an £83.0m budget for our starting XI.

Our four substitutes, meanwhile, are always chosen from the budget crop of players.

We write this on Friday afternoon after the announcement that Burnley v Leicester City was postponed but before any other fixture news (the north London derby could be at risk, for example), so as ever, it’s worth keeping eyes and ears on any late developments as a ‘double’ could become a ‘single’ in a short space of time.

GOALKEEPER

The best FPL goalkeepers for a Double Gameweek 22 Free Hit

Despite several underwhelming performances from Manchester United in recent weeks, David de Gea (£5.2m) has continued to impress. Since Ralf Rangnick’s arrival in Gameweek 15, the Spaniard is averaging 5.2 points per match, whilst his +3.10 expected goals (xG) prevented total is better than any other keeper. Notably, his 87.5% save percentage is only trumped by Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Jose Sa (£5.2m), with his seven saves against Newcastle United a prime example of just how crucial he is to the Red Devils. Across the season, just four clean sheets in 19 appearances isn’t anything to shout about, but a Double Gameweek involving trips to Aston Villa and Brentford does give de Gea every chance to add to that tally.

    Since Kane might not get a dgw, is it better to captain DDG?

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

      De Get

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

      Leicester is so poor defensively, that Kane even just against only them could easily outscore DDG or any other DGW players

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Well you say that but they kept out Liverpool few weeks back.

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

    A) Kane & Mount (-4)
    B) King & KDB (-4) (already have Dennis)
    C) Antonio & KDB

    Cheers!!!

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

      C, but prefer Ronaldo and Raphinha (–4)

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. Already have Ronaldo. Like Raphinha but I think I prefer Mount for this week, and I'll likely move him on next week or the week after anyway.

  3. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Laca to (C)R7 -4 worth it?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      I would.

      Lacazette: maximum one fixture (against a strong team)
      Ronaldo: better player, two better fixtures, better long term hold, DGW

    3. Partey McFly
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeh defo, afc players are dropping like flys - no saka, esr, o, partey, xhaka

    4. Goro Majima
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Hope so - I'm doing it.

  4. I Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Captain Kane or de Gea?

  5. Malinwa
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son+Toney > Ronaldo+Gray
    GTG?

    Appreciated

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yep yep.

      Thanks for your help earlier

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

        Cheers

  6. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Triple Brighton too much on Free Hit?

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

    This is getting infuriating and I just want to go to bed...

    Son to:
    A) Foden
    B) Raphinha

    Given up on DGW players!

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes i would

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      C) Bruno

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

      B

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

    De gea
    TAA, Cancelo, Duffy
    Gray, Raphinha, Jota (c), Bowen
    Edouard, Antonio, king

    Ramsdale, Livramento, Salah, James

    1ft 3.9itb

    Is this the best move here?

    Salah + Edouard > ? + Ronaldo -4 (captain ronaldo, bench raphinha)

    I was going to do Madison with the midfield slot. With the Burnley game now postponed I'm not keen.

    Who would you recommend?

  9. King Kun Ta
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez or Bachmann in goal?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Close. Sanchez for me, Watford may only have one fixture, and possible Foster plays?

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

      Sanchez

    3. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ta lads!

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

    Probably going to captain Ronaldo but also tempted by keeping the captaincy on Bowen for his single GW v Leeds.

    Thoughts?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ronnie would be the sensible move. I think I read that Leeds have some key players returning?

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

        Fair point about Leeds players returning. I have a nagging feeling about Ronaldo and whatever injury he is recovering from. But might be the best option still

        1. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah, same. Looks like Spurs and Watford doubles in doubt, not a clear standout captain for Chelsea or Brighton so Ronaldo is potentially the safest?

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Don't overthink! Ronaldo would be a better captain choice in a single GW vs Brentford, let alone in a double

  11. RedJive79
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Currently hovering over a -8 to swap James, Butland, Son and Pukki -> Rudiger, DDG, Mount and Dennis. Worth it?

    Would give this:

    DDG
    Rudiger /TAA / Cancelo
    Mount / Jota / Bowen / Bilva
    Dennis / Ronaldo(c) / Watkins

    Ramsdale / Dalot / Saka / Branthwaite

  12. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    How's this looking? Correct Capatin? Correct subs/order?

    DDG
    AA, Rudiger, Reguillon
    Bruno, Maddison, BSilva, Bowen
    Antonio, Dennis(c), Watkins

    Foster, Gallagher, Cancelo, Manquillo

  13. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Dalot > SPU/BRI defender for a -4? Would be playing Dalot/Watkins otherwise

  14. Who are all Lukakus
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Best 7.8m mid? Already have Bowen

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

      2 years, 2 months ago

      Raph

      I'm actually considering Trossard or MacAllister for Ødegaard.. for -4.

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

      Tross

  21. mattyb09
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Unfortunately already hit my FH....

    Who is the best option?

        ty

  23. CeironJ
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Considering a -4

    Antonio to Ronaldo

    Madisson to Gordon

    Gordon looks to be quite a little player for Everton and could get busy against Norwich.

  24. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Cor, this non-FH team looked good a week back...!

    DDG
    TAA Alonso Regulion*
    Son* Jota Maddison Bowen
    Ronaldo Antonio King

    Steele / Gray Cancelo Livramento

    If DGW off for Spurs, play:
    A) Regulion
    B) Cancelo

    RE: Son/Maddison/Gray
    1) Bench Son, play Gray (save FT)
    2) Son > Fernandes, play Maddison (bench Gray)
    3) Son > Fernandes, play Gray (bench Maddison)

    Maybe I'll save a FT so when the DGW23 fixtures are announced right as the deadline hits, I'll have capacity to accommodate it :mrgreen:

  25. Pukkipartyy
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who to bring in for Son too free up funds for CR7.

    A) Mount
    B) Raphinha
    C) Greenwood

    And is DDG worth to get for -4?
    (I have Guaita)

    1. Rhysd007
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I went with A). Greenwood too hit and miss with minutes and Utd's form

    This site is breaking down again, isn't it?

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It's really struggling

    2. Ha.

      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thought it was my dodgy internet

  27. Ha.

    Best United defender?

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

      Maguire or Varane, just for nailedeness. Or DDG.

    2. Rhysd007
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      This season IRL - Phil Jones...

      For FPL, DDG. If you mean outfield only then Maguire, tho AWB expected to be back.

  28. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Better option? Please suggest any better midfield options, if any. Price no issue. Currently have Bowen, Bernardo, Son, Gray, Luiz.

    A) Son> Jota
    B) Son>Mount
    C) Son> Moura
    D) Son+ Bernardo> Mount+ Jota/Moura (-4)

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

      A

  29. SoulShakinTex
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison and Lowton plan screwed. Just do the FT, take the minus four or go all out with a minus eight and a punty BB here?

    1) Son -> Mount
    2) Son/Livra -> Mount and Laporte or Robbo
    3) Son/Livra/Ant -> Mount/3.9 def/Kane(c)

    Team now is:
    Sanchez/Steele
    TAA/Cancelo/Reg/Keane/Livra
    Son/Jota/Bowen/Gallagher/Gray
    Ronaldo/Ant/King

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

      Just Son to Mount

  30. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else looking at keeping either Son or Salah?
