FPL experts: How to plan for the TWO remaining Double Gameweeks

The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts give advice on how to maximise the TWO remaining Double Gameweeks, including which chips managers should use.

I'm Wildcarding this week, allowing me to target in Spurs and Chelsea players who have two Double Gameweeks to come, as well as teams like Newcastle and Man City, who have good fixtures in Double Gameweek 37 (DGW37), when I am planning to Bench-Boost. Moving out players who don't have any Doubles from clubs such as Liverpool and Arsenal is risky, but there is plenty of upside in favouring players like Son Heung-min (£9.8m), Phil Foden (£8.2m) and Alexander Isak (£8.0m), who have more fixtures. 

I think Newcastle and Man City players should be top priority, with both teams having a great DGW37. Isak, Anthony Gordon (£6.1m), Foden and Kevin De Bruyne (£10.4m) are all great picks, but I would also be comfortable holding Arsenal defenders, with the title race so close.

I'm focusing on bringing in players that have Doubles and moving out some of the players who don't in readiness for the Bench Boost in DGW37. 

I'm currently tripled up in Liverpool, but will be looking to move out Mohamed Salah (£13.6m) for Gordon, who has been excellent this season, and also selling Darwin Nunez (£7.8m) and Caoimhin Kelleher (£3.9m) in the coming Gameweeks. If you are not Wildcarding and have to take a hit, there is a case to keep a couple of in-form single Gameweekers, such as Gabriel (£5.4m) and Ollie Watkins (£8.9m), who have been star performers this season.

There are four key teams that will be crucial over the remaining Gameweeks. Man City and Newcastle both have good fixtures around their DGW37, while Chelsea and Spurs attackers, with the two Doubles, are appealing. 

Other teams that Double but aren't in great form are Man Utd and Brighton. Maybe with the exception of Bruno Fernandes (£8.3m), their appeal is limited. Finally, teams with single Gameweeks only, like Liverpool and Arsenal, could provide one or two  picks, especially as they have great fixtures in Gameweek 38. 

Personally, with just four Gameweeks left, targeting players with Doubles is the strategy I will be taking. There is a significant risk selling the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool players, but this is the final opportunity to make up ground. On top of this, a lot of managers will plan to Bench-Boost in DGW37, so selling these expensive players will make it easier to have a strong bench.

In the final weeks of the season, clubs in the hunt for the title, for European football or to stay in the Premier League are the ones I like to invest in. However, with the Bench Boost still to play, having plenty of players with Double Gameweeks is key. So selling one of Bukayo Saka (£9.0m) or Salah to allow me to invest in the likes of Isak and Foden appeals.
