Managers in Fantasy Premier League have a bumper Double Gameweek 22 to prepare for after a number of fixtures were rescheduled

Four matches that were recently postponed have now been added to the upcoming Gameweek.

Managers must be aware, though, that these extra matches will only take place if the sides involved do not have their FA Cup Third Round fixtures postponed this weekend.

DGW22 sides' schedules
Club Opponents
Brentford LIV (A), MUN (H)
Brighton CRY (H), CHE (H)
Burnley LEI (H), WAT (H)
Chelsea MCI (A), BHA (A)  
Leicester BUR (A), TOT (H)
Man Utd AVL (A), BRE (A) 
Spurs ARS (H), LEI (A)
Watford NEW (A), BUR (A)

Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane (£12.2m) look set for significant investment ahead of their meetings with Arsenal and Leicester City, with his team-mate Son Heung-min (£10.7m) now sidelined through injury.

Kane's form has improved markedly under new head coach Antonio Conte, the forward scored three of his four goals this season in the last four Gameweeks. Meanwhile, Sergio Reguilon (£5.4m) has averaged 5.6 points per start playing as a wing-back since the Italian took charge.

Value picks

Leicester playmaker James Maddison (£6.9m) is in strong form for his showdowns with Burnley and Spurs.

The midfielder has four goals and five assists in his last six appearances, earning four double-figure hauls in that run.

Meanwhile, Watford forwards Emmanuel Dennis (£6.1m) and Joshua King (£5.8m) can offer huge value against Newcastle United and Burnley.

Keep faith in Man Utd stars?

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) and David De Gea (£5.2m) provide points potential at both ends of the pitch for Manchester United’s matches against Aston Villa and Brentford.

However, Chelsea’s upcoming schedule is likely to deter managers that are playing their Wildcard from investing. 

The Blues face Manchester City in their first match of Gameweek 22 and have blanks in Gameweeks 24 and 25.

Be wary of losing single Gameweekers

When considering their plans, managers must also factor in the single Gameweek sides with very favourable fixtures.

Liverpool pair Diogo Jota (£8.2m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.4m) are at home to Brentford, while West Ham United pair Jarrod Bowen (£6.7m) and Michail Antonio (£7.8m) entertain Leeds United

Owners should be wary of moving them on, as they have the potential to outscore many players with two matches.
