Double Gameweek 22 confirmed for Man Utd and Leeds

Manchester United and Leeds United will – barring some freak postponement – both definitely now have two fixtures in Gameweek 22.

The two Premier League sides avoided the need for a replay in their respective FA Cup fourth-round ties on Saturday; had either side drawn, neither would have had a ‘double’.

Planning can now begin in earnest for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, with our captain poll launched for Double Gameweek 22 and our ‘bus team’ to follow on Sunday morning.

It should be said that the Red Devils still have an EFL Cup semi-final, second-leg tie to come on Wednesday, so it may be prudent to hold any transfers until after that point in case any midweek/suspensions are picked up.

With Man Utd 3-0 up on Nottingham Forest from the first leg, however, Erik ten Hag will surely be tempted to rest a few of his big guns.

We should also mention that if the Red Devils do qualify for the EFL Cup final, as they surely will do now, they will blank in Gameweek 25. They will also blank in Gameweek 28 if they, or Brighton and Hove Albion, reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

So while doubling or tripling up on Man Utd assets will be the order of the day for many of us in Double Gameweek 22, having a contingency plan to deal with Blank Gameweeks 25/28 will also be important.

WHAT ARE THE DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 22 FIXTURES?

Leeds face a trip to Nottingham Forest before they head to Old Trafford, while the Red Devils entertain a side they have just met – Crystal Palace – before hosting Jesse Marsch’s side.

There’s a swift rematch between Leeds and Man Utd in Gameweek 23 at Elland Road, too, just four days after they clash in Manchester.

    Which do you prefer?

    A. KDB > Bruno, and potentially a hit of Almiron > Saka/Odegaard

    B. Andreas > Casemiro and bench Almiron

    Chelsea signed 19 year old right back Malo Gusto from Lyon. 31m deal and loaned back until end of season.

    Will probably help with avoiding the temptation of picking James next season.

      Saka for me. He has the long term data showing he is a good and consistent FPL pick

        Yes, but would have only 6.2m for a striker and there is no one worth getting who is that cheap.

        Bit of a dilemma here with the double coming might be worth keeping KDB!

          KDB is nowhere near value for price. Just bring mahrez back in

            Could do KDB to Bruno and next week Almiron to Mahrez and Bruno to Odegaard?

            No hits for that combo and would have 3 Arsenal and 2 City for the double.

    How's this for a -8?

    KDB, Mitrovic, Andreas, Walker --> Fernandes, Nketiah, Mahrez, Estupinan

    Gives me 3 DGW22 players and 5 DGW23 players.

    According to FPL, ownerships are:

    KDB--> Fernandes (37.4% --> 8.2%)
    Mitrovic --> Nketiah (28.5% --> 6.0%)
    Andreas --> Mahrez (20.5% --> 7.5%)
    Walker --> Estupinan (4.0% --> 1.7%)

    This should help improve my rank (as long as they return.... 🙂 )

    Currently hovering around 580k overall, aiming for top 250k this season.

    This will be the first points hit in weeks

      I wouldn't let individual ownerships sway your picks. It's all about combinations.

      Are you starting Andreas & Walker if you don't do all these moves? I'm inclined to agree with Robe Wan on prioristising the first 2 moves but depends how the rest of the team looks

        Lots of fair comments here, appreciate the advice!

        Current team;

        Kepa Ward
        Trippier Botman Shaw White Walker
        KDB Martinelli Rashford Almiron Andreas
        Haaland Kane Mitro

        I want Fernandes but want to keep triple city tbh, with their upcoming doubles.

        How about this then;
        KDB -> Fernandes
        Mitro --> Nketiah

        Can then do a FT on brining in another city player ready for dgw23
