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

1,645 Comments

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.

        Yeah, madness. I only chucked in Kane as option because the RMT tool scores him lower than Alonso and DCL this week!

    As someone who has already used their free transfer and has Dennis captain, what would you do?

    A) Guaita > Foster (-4) (I have De Gea also)
    B) Toney > King (-4)
    C) Leave it

    I'm considering Greenwood over Foden (on WC).
    Fixtures are amazing - started the last 4 games (though subbed off in all four).
    Is this silly?

    I don't want Bruno - too expensive, but would like some MU attacker for upcoming fixtures.

    Will have money itb to move him to Salah if it fails (it's him or Jota)

    Guaita Bachmann.

    Neither look like starting. Bachmann> Sanchez?

    Sanchez has dgw in 26 and rotates well with Guaita(if he is first choice).

    Thoughts?

    A) Antonio to King for double up with Dennis (probably getting Watkins for one of them very soon)
    B) Livramento to Lowton since lot of DGW, can be 3rd on bench most weeks unless DGW. Alonso would be on bench this week.
    C) Livramento to Digne, looking more long term

    Think Im on A since I wanna get points right now, and its Norwich and Burnley! Not just average fixture games!
