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.

      Unless Saka is injured I would keep as Arsenal have a nice fixture next week so you’d want him back.

    Is ronaldo actually declared fit then? What was all this guff this morning?

    Hard to tell anything with site playing up.

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

      Ragnick expects he will be good to play but another training session was still to take place when he spoke to media- so don’t think yellow flag will be lifted pre deadline

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He left the training early so people assumed he's still injured. Rangnick said he should be available. Probably didn't have a full training session as a precaution.

  3. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Am i crazy to consider saving a transfer here?

    Guaita
    TAA Cancelo Lamptey Alonso
    Foden Bowen Jota
    Ronaldo Antonio DCL

    Ramsdale Gundogan Jansson Gilmour

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Not at all

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks

  4. Tom
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else considering benching Foden this week?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Not really

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

      Either he starts or I do Gundo > Mount for free and he’s first bench.

      Still not sure.

    3. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It's him or Watkins

  5. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    is foster going to play over bachman this gw?

  6. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno or KDB until Salah is back?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I think I’m going KDB

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        im leaning for son to KDB just as good placeholder plus tasty fixtures

        1. Thomas Magnum
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I have Son and Salah and not sure what to do with them, have a bit of money tied up in both. Most likely one of the two will go for KDB as those next 3 fixtures are very nice on paper anyways

  7. Tom
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is it madness to considering benching Foden this week?

    1. vincentwsho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      1st on my bench... worried he might be benched by Pep

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No

  8. balint84
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Dennis or Kane for kapitano?

  9. T.Henry14
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    DDG
    TAA, Cancelo, Coufal
    Son*, Jota (vc), Gray, Bowen
    Ronaldo(c), Antonio, Dennis

    (foster - white, d.luiz, cash)

    1 ft and 4.3 itb

    Son ---------- KDB

    GTG?

  10. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would you Bench boost this: DDG / Keane / Dawson / Gray

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      yes in normal times. Though wary of cancellations obviously

    2. FPLShaqiri
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I would do it. Would say there's a risk of postponements and random covid cases, but you know that. Worth a go, and then you can not worry about it further down the line.

      Just looking at your team - assume you sold Son, but what about Ramsey? I would say he's weaker than your other bench options this week.

    2 years, 3 months ago

    Breaking: Fantasy Football Scout are expected to request a postponement of their DGW22 content due to a combination of unavailable pages and overloaded servers.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      They have loaned Ragabolly to Fantasy Football Hub to help meet the criteria for postponement

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        XP

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Somebody forgot to pay the bills this month at FFS HQ

  12. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Son to

    A. Mount (and then out again soon)
    B. Trossard (it's Brighton....)
    C. Lucas Moira (DGW in doubt)
    D. Someone else
    E. Keep and play Silva

    I was all set on Madison but each new news leaves me further from a decision

    1. gart888
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Facing same decision, and leaning towards Mount with the plan of replacing him with Salah soon.

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

      I like Mac Allister

    3. Diedhiou See That?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Would also be interested to hear people’s views. Leaning towards Mount given I’ll be transferring Salah in for him from GW24 anyway.

    4. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mount if it's easy enough to transfer out again soon

    5. Saka Rice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A or E. Also, DGW in doubt for Spurs how come?

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

    I might actually roll my free transfer. Can't believe it, but after that Burnley match was postponed no transfers seem worthwhile. Not even selling Son - who would I bring in for him? (0 itb)

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bruno? Kdb?

  14. Claudio555
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Trossard an option as captain? Better than DDG?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      To own yes not to captain

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

      My vice

  15. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A) Kane & Mount (-4)
    B) King (or any Striker up to 8.2M) & KDB (-4) (already have Dennis).
    C) Antonio & KDB

    Cheers!

  16. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    De Gea or Sa?

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      DDG

  17. ratski
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Mount or Moura

    Will probably be by route back to Salah so only short term

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mount on the basis NLD could be postponed.

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Why would it be?

  18. The Parrot
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who to captain?

    A) Ronaldo
    B) Mount
    C) SGW player

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going SGW player

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

      A

  19. pjomara
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone here worth taking a hit for?

    Sanchez
    Dalot, Cancelo, Rudiger, Reguilon
    Moura, Mount, Jota, Fernandes
    DCL, Antonio

  20. Ninja Škrtel
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Any CR7 fitness updates?

  21. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Hey all, 2 FT and 0.4 ITB. Thinking of keeping Salah and going without CR7 or is that a bad idea..

    A - Son > Mount (c) and roll 1 FT
    B - Antonio & Son > Mount & CR7
    C - Other suggestion?

    DDG
    TAA - Cancelo - Lamptey - Coady
    Son - Jota - Bowen - Maddison
    Antonio - King

    Bachman - Broja - Salah - Dier

  22. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    What are Dalot owners doing? Don't know whether to start him or Cancelo

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I've benched him in favour of Cancelo

  23. RedJive79
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is this worth it for -8?
    James, Butland, Son, Pukki -> Rudiger, DDG, Mount, Dennis.

    Would give this:

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

    Ramsdale / Dalot / Saka / Branthwaite

  24. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Pick one to BENCH:

    a.) Gray
    b.) Foden
    c.) Maddison

    ???

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      tough one, maybe B due to cameo risk?

    2. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one.. wow. Bench Foden I guess. He might not start and Chelsea defensively have improved with Kante back. Don’t bench Gray.

  25. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    This is becoming a joke now. They need to clarify these rules. A certain % of your players out must be through covid to postpone a game otherwise call up the U23s.

    1. Junglist95
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Football is a drug they give to the masses. They can take it away at any moment (and they have and they will).

      I agree with you of course!

      Farcical

  26. smix
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best DGW defender to bring in ?

    1. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      In isolation, Rüdiger

  27. Eastman
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Broja to Dennis still worth a -4?

  28. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather have:

    A) Coady - Moura - Raphinha
    or
    B) Kilman - Mount - Doucore

    ?

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

      A

  29. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Captain Bowen or Dennis?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Dennis

  30. Crouching Tiger
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Leave three out:

    DDG (2)
    Rudiger (2)
    TAA (1)
    Cancelo (1)
    Foden (1)
    Lucas Moura (2)
    Jota (1)
    Maddison (1!)
    Sissoko (2)
    Dennis (2)
    Ronaldo (2)
    Antonio (1)
    Matip (1)
    Dalot (2).

    Argh. I need a wildcard, no balance in the squad after all these COVID / AFCON mayhems.

    1. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years

      trust me, save your WC.

      I hit mine and I am totally regreting it. It's a nightmare.
