FPL Double Gameweek 23 Scout Picks: Watford double-up and De Bruyne selection

1,645 Comments
Share

We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players for Double Gameweek 23 ahead of today’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

We line up in a 3-4-3 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.

GOALKEEPER

1

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Jose Sa (£5.2m) is our chosen goalkeeper in Double Gameweek 23, ahead of a favourable away fixture at Brentford. The 29-year-old is FPL’s highest-scoring keeper and this week he’ll be up against a Bees’ side struggling for goals, with just four across their last six matches. Bruno Lage’s rearguard have been in excellent form in recent weeks, with Sa’s nine saves against Southampton last time out a prime example of just how crucial he is for Wolves.

DEFENDERS

The best FPL defenders for a Gameweek 4 Wildcard 5

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.4m) sits second overall for FPL points, with last weekend’s assist against Brentford making him the first defender in Premier League history to register 10 or more in three separate seasons. The England full-back has produced either a goal, assist or clean sheet in 14 of his 19 appearances in 2021/22, and now takes on a Crystal Palace side that has conceded 75 crosses from their left-flank across their last six matches, compared to just 48 on the right.

    Very torn on whether to go for Raphinha or Sterling for Allan. Raphinha has a great fixture this week and a decent run after and could end up with a double next week, and will be on pens while Bamford is still out. Sterling has a fixture that generally causes City problems but he's been playing well and it's the type of game that should suit him, he has a nice little batch of games coming up, and obviously he's playing for the best side in the league. Might be on penalties this weekend too with Mahrez surely not in the squad so soon after returning.

      Really depends what you'd do with the extra cash? The lack of doubles for city is putting me off (as well as the normal rotation!). I'd probably prefer to have the cash available to react to DGWs or getting Salah back. Man U double in 25 would be interesting and might mean I don't sell Bruno or Ronaldo next week as planned
