It's Double Gameweek time in Fantasy Premier League and with the season coming to a climax, finding a standout differential now could play a vital role in final mini-league standings.

So when asked to name a selection of must-have players for DGW32 on the latest FPL Show, Fantasy expert Danny Jamieson turned to Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte (£5.9m).

Despite being owned by only nine per cent of managers, Laporte is the seventh-highest scoring defender in FPL and has attractive-looking fixtures against Fulham and Cardiff City, who both currently reside in the bottom three.

He is now the most sought-after defender, and eighth overall, in FPL ahead of DGW32 with managers recalling the fact that he scored 20 points in the last double-header in Gameweek 25.

"He's another player who hasn't gone away with his country," Jamieson says. "He might have missed the three Gameweeks through injury but he was back in full training two weeks ago. I think he'll end up playing both games.

"Also, he was the top-scoring player in the last Double Gameweek."
