All of our panelists agree that Liverpool and Manchester City roll out likely winners in their two fixtures. Only two of our panelists expect Manchester United to win both of their Double Gameweek fixtures.

FPL Commentary

FPL Shake n Bake

As tempting as a Double Gameweek can be, I’m not sure I’d fancy tripling up on Man United or Brighton assets. I have De Gea, Dalot and budget enabler Jakub Moder. I think that’s enough. I’m not impressed enough by either side going forward so am risking going without both Bruno and Ronaldo.

Similarly, I’m risking another Gameweek without Mo Salah due to his record against Burnley, a team he notoriously struggles against.

If there was one player I would risk a one week punt on this week, it would be West Ham’s Aaron Cresswell. Leicester look vulnerable from set pieces, and with Cresswell on free kicks and corners then he has a good chance of rocking up the assists. He’ll likely be a good differential as managers target the Double Gameweek.

FPL Focus

I don’t feel overly optimistic when it comes to Manchester United ahead of the Double Gameweek. I think it is entirely possible that some Brighton assets outscore the Untied ones.

United have looked a bit lost in recent Gameweeks. There seems to have been some indecision about how Ronaldo and Fernandes work in the same team.

As we saw in Gameweek 24, I think Lampard will continue to struggle to get Everton going having had very little time between matches since his appointed. This means I would be wary of investing in Everton against Leeds. I also think Dan James could be a great differential pick who may be overlooked as a single Gameweek player.

We were all expecting Man City to beat Brentford by more than they did in Gameweek 24. However even though Norwich have improved a lot in recent weeks they will likely struggle against Man City. Investing in the blue side of Manchester looks attractive, even with the red side of Manchester playing double the minutes this week.

Spurs really need to bounce back after their loss to Southampton, but I think they will find it tough against a resolute Wolves defence.
