Optimizing Your FPL Team for Double Gameweek 24

With another double gameweek in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), half of the team selections are straightforward, featuring three Liverpool and three Aston Villa assets. Here’s how you can maximize your points and gain an edge over your competitors.

Key Players to Watch

Mohamed Salah (Captain) - Liverpool, £13.7m - Wolves (h), Villa (a)

Salah remains the best player in the game, especially with a double gameweek. Consider using your Triple Captain chip on him if you haven’t already.

Ollie Watkins (Vice Captain) - Aston Villa, £8.9m - Ipswich (h), Liverpool (h)

Watkins is a safe choice, leading Villa’s attack with no competition for the central striker spot and on penalty duties.

Emiliano Martinez - Aston Villa, £5m - Ipswich (h), Liverpool (h)

Despite Villa’s inconsistent defense, Martinez is a reliable pick for a double gameweek, guaranteed to play both matches.

Chip Strategy

Use the Assistant Manager Chip on Unai Emery, Aston Villa’s manager. Villa faces Ipswich at home, a likely victory, followed by a challenging game against Liverpool.

Additional Picks

Daniel Munoz - Crystal Palace, £4.8m - Everton (h)

Munoz has been consistent, turning underlying stats into FPL points with clean sheets and assists.

Virgil van Dijk - Liverpool, £6.4m - Wolves (h), Villa (a)

A safe choice with a double gameweek, known for scoring goals.

Gabriel - Arsenal, £6.3m - Leicester (a)

Leicester’s vulnerability to headers and corners makes Gabriel an attractive option.

Midfield Must-Haves

Justin Kluivert & Antoine Semenyo - Bournemouth, £5.9m & £5.7m - Southampton (a)

Both have been in sensational form, making them valuable FPL assets.

Morgan Rogers - Aston Villa, £5.6m - Ipswich (h), Liverpool (h)

Despite no recent returns, Rogers’ price and past productivity make him a strong pick.

Striker Selections

Cody Gakpo - Liverpool, £7.6m - Wolves (h), Villa (a)

Gakpo completes the Liverpool trio, with a promising home game against Wolves.

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Crystal Palace, £7.3m - Everton (h)

Team to Watch
