FPL Tips Gameweek 23 | Last Minute

Fantasy Football Tips GW23 from our Fantasy Football Community ahead of the deadline.

With some double gameweeks confirmed for the rest of the month, how should we approach the Fantasy Football tips for Gameweek 23

Injuries

There’s plenty of injury news for the fantasy football tips gameweek 23, including an improved situation at Southampton as they look to bounce back from their big midweek defeat. Key defensive options are beginning to become available and Jan Bednarek’s red card suspension has been rescinded. Will we see an improved performance against Newcastle United as a result?

Oriol Romeu trained today and the midfielder could be available. Vestergaard also has an outside chance of making the game. Minamino will also be added to the #SaintsFC squad.

Fixtures

Fixture difficulty comes into view for the next six weeks, with doubles appearing in the ticker. Ted Talks FPL has updated the schedule, with Burnley looking particularly promising over the next few weeks. Keep an eye on assets from Leeds United too, with a kind double in Gameweek 25.

Schedule

Ben Crellin has updated the full blank and double calendar for the FPL Gameweek 23 tips. Double Gameweek 26 should be as good as confirmed before the Gameweek 24 deadline, and therefore perhaps being cautious with transfers this week will allow better preparation for the next.

I've updated the schedule because there's a chance that some of the Blanks that can't fit into DGW26 will be moved to the midweeks in GWs 27+28.
There are UCL and UEL fixtures in those midweeks so only a small number of Blanks will be able to move there.https://t.co/waqF3IXZqv pic.twitter.com/osjdzZRoZB

Targets

With plenty of potential transfers on the agenda, FPL Editor pinpoints five key players to consider using the powerful Fantasy Football Fix algorithm. Two heavy hitting midfielders make the cut, one who has the form and the other who is in a barren spell. There’s also a couple of budget forwards up for consideration here, while plenty are disappointing among their ranks.

Captains

When it comes to captaincy, with premium options floundering, the conversation looks to be wide open this week. Bruno Fernandes has leapfrogged Heung-Min Son as the top pick for this week, with that bias largely based on performances from the midweek games. Michail Antonio could be an excellent differential.

Stream

An all star stream previewing Gameweek 23 arrived this week, with Mark Sutherns joining Let’s Talk FPL’s Andy for the Gameweek 23 knee-jerk. The upcoming fixture schedule was high on the agenda and there’s plenty at stake for both managers, with Andy currently ranked among the top 1,000 managers in the world.

Big thanks to @FFScout_Mark for coming on the stream tonight, was nice to do things a bit different.

Defenders

Anyone shopping for a new defender this week could be inclined to consider Marcos Alonso, who has gained a run in the Chelsea side since Frank Lampard departed Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have three consecutive clean sheets and Alonso is enjoying the freedom of the wing-back role. He’s one to keep an eye on.

Marcos Alonso vs. Tottenham:

? Most Ball Recoveries (11)
? Most Aerial Duels Won (6)
? Most Take-Ons (4)
? Most Clearances (3)
? Most Interceptions (3)

(Most out of Chelsea players)
