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

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.

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

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

    Play Ramsdale or Foster?

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

      Rambo

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ramsdale still

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

      Foster.

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years

        Foster

    4. acidicleo

      Foster

  4. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years

    Who to captain out of this lot?

    DDA
    Cancelo - TAA - White
    Foden - Jota - Bowen - Martinelli
    Ronaldo - Watkins - Dennis

    Considering Dennis, Jota, Foden, Cancelo & TAA

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      That narrows down quite well then

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      So you’re basically considering everyone?

      Dennis.

    3. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I’m going Dennis currently…

  5. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Play who, Broja or Rudiger?

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

      Rudiger

    2. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rudi

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers and GL!

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

    Advice please!

    A) Targett -> Laporte
    B) Gray & Antonio -> Raphinha & King -4 (Laporte move next week)

    For context, I have Dennis already and will start Dalot this week if I do B.

    Thanks!

    The pages are starting to fly by.

    Many unanswered questions incoming.

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

      Many previously answered questions…

  8. Sonder
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio or Watkins out for Dennis?

    I was planning on transferring out Ronaldo for Dennis to afford Salah the following week, but the recent "leak" about a potential DGW25 (?) for Manchester United has left me a bit confused.

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

      Antonio. Tired and Watkins has a DGW and good fixtures incoming

    2. PocketZola
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      What leak?

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

        Ragnick quotes

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

      Same here. Think I might keep Ronaldo for now and transfer Antonio out, or even save FT

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

    Is there any fixture that has a chance of postponement in gw23 (based on all the info known to us) ?

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

      Just the Arsenal game but it's very likely to be played.

      1. FantasyHero

        Thank you!

    ddg
    taa keane cancelo
    jota bernado bruno bowen
    antonio dennis cr7

    subs, foster, gray, williams, livramento

    1. Keane to digne
    2 cr7 to king
    3 bernado to raph

    I'm leaning towards -4 for cr7 and gray to raph and king if leeds have double or cr7, keane to king and digne

  11. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling (c) Dennis (vc)

    1. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Got the same dilemma ... heart wants to put it on Sterling but head (due to his EO) thinks it'll have to be Dennis.

  12. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Why people are starting Bachmann?

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

      They have 2 GKs?

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

    1 FT and £4.4m ITB.

    A) Rudiger to Laporte
    B) Bilva to Foden
    C) Bilva to Raphina
    D) A and B/C for -4
    E) Save

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Cancelo, Rudiger,
    Fernandes, Saka, Jota, Bilva, Bowen
    Antonio, Dennis (C)

    DDG, Reguilon, Coufal, Archer

  14. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ddg or foster

    1. Gooner97
      • 10 Years

      Dave

    2. acidicleo
      • 7 Years

      DDG..

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

      DDG will surely concede Vs West Ham. So question is whether he gets the save points to out score Foster's second appearance

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

        Foster very likely 4 points..
        DDG 3 or 4 based on save points.

    4. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Foster. Better fixtures and better PPG (considering DGW)

      Points per game:
      DDG: 4
      Foster 3.3

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

        And 3 clean sheets in last 18 games for DDG

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

          Norwich and Burnley bottom 2 in goals scored this season.
          West Ham top 4

  15. acidicleo

    2 years, 2 months ago
