There is a quick turnaround between gameweeks and the double gameweek 19 in Fantasy Premier League start very soon. Chelsea and Fulham play twice in GW19 which opens doors to some opportunities for fantasy managers.
Let’s start with our FPL GW19 Tips.
1. Fantasy Premier League Double Gameweek 19 Tips
- It is not necessary to have 5 or 6 double gameweeks players in Gameweek 19, as it could weaken your squad for the following rounds. Having just 3-4 DGW players is totally fine
- Looking for a Reece James replacement? Check our article: Best Reece James replacements for Gameweek 19
- Kepa, Cucurella/Azpilicueta, Sterling is our preferred trio from Chelsea
- Mitrovič + Andreas is the obvious duo to pick from Fulham (triple up would likely be too much)
- Manchester City and Tottenham will likely have a double gameweek in GW20 (unless some of them draw in the cup game and need a reply), so plan for that as well
- Keep faith in KdB if you choose him over Salah or Kane – there are many options that lie on the same indifference curve in the long run. But in the short run, it is impossible to guess the distribution of their points
- Keep faith in Darwin – great underlying numbers, he is getting chances, but cannot finish them. The points will come eventually. If you are looking to sell him, wait until he hauls and then do it, not now.
- Saka + Martinelli/Odegaard or Martial + Rashford are all good double ups
- Foden replacement – Mount or Sterling (if you can upgrade)
- What to do with Cancelo? – wait for some news, but so far, he is HOLD for us. It seems unlikely that he would be benched 3 times in the row.
- Benching headaches – we do not think that benching Arsenal and Newcastle players is a good idea. But we might not have other choices. Using bench boost in GW19 is a valid strategy based on fixtures, but we would rather wait with bench boost until double gameweeks. But it is okay to use it now if you have many benching headaches.
- Transfer targets for GW19: Mitrovič (although still on 4 yellow cards, so if he is booked in the first game, will miss the second one), Cucurella, Mount
- Differential captain for Gameweek 19: Kepa
- GW19 differential: Havertz (selected by 5.4%)
