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.

      I'd definitely sell Ronaldo before Kane. Kane should have had 3 or 4 against Leicester.

      Ronaldo may have a double in the coming weeks but I don't fancy MU players, while Spurs have a bit of swagger about them going forward of late, I'd stick with Kane

      Tough one, Kane looks miles better but Ronaldo has the fixtures and potential DGW coming up. I think I would sell Ronaldo and then maybe look to get him back in for 25 if they have a double

    Play one:

    B)roja
    C)ash

    Leaning towards Broja funnily enough, I think Southampton will score. I have DCL and think Villa will concede but Everton are poor defensively too so I dunno. In spite of Chelsea comfortably beating Spurs twice recently I don't fancy them getting a clean sheet.
