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.

      3, you don't need the money in King long term and adding Laporte leaves Coufal/Mitchell in the cold unless you want to play 4 back most weeks

    Ron King
    Sánchez Antonio Coufal Dalot

    A) Bernardo -> KdB
    B) Ronaldo -> Dennis
    C) both for a hit
    D) something else ?

    Was set on getting and captaining KdB, but the DGW is swaying me.. Ronaldo is a differential for me, plus has great fixtures - but selling him allows for both KdB and Salah

    1FT and 6.2 ITB

    GW24 - Burnley (a)
    GW25 - Southampton (H) and Brighton (H)
    GW26 - Leeds (a)
    GW27 - Watford (H)

    I might end up keeping Bruno and Ronaldo but pretty certain I'll be keeping one of them now

        I doubt it but I've not ruled it out. Liverpool might have a double in 26 and their fixtures are amazing as well. Will have to lose one of Man U guys to get him back in. Original plan was bruno and Ronaldo to Salah and Kane next gw

          Kane could maybe wait until 27 now and keep Ronaldo (would prefer to keep premium striker slot available as opposed to shifting cash into midfield)

    So, just raising the warning flag (and also posting it so I can smugly refer back to it if it comes true...) but the rush into KDB heralds a potential prime FPL trap as Pep benches KDB and starts Gundo (who hasn't had many minutes recently)... 😉
