Son Heung-min (£10.8m) has the home form to outscore players with a Double Gameweek 28 in Fantasy Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur have just one match in this round of fixtures, against Everton, while eight sides are scheduled to play twice.

However, Son has been Spurs’ most reliable attacker at home this season, with four of his five double-figure hauls coming at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Indeed, he has averaged 6.8 points per match at home in 2021/22 Fantasy. 

Spurs forward Harry Kane (£12.3m), meanwhile, has a prolific record against the Toffees, returning 10+ points in five of his last eight meetings.

Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) will certainly be among the most-selected captains, despite also having just one match.

Managers have rushed to Liverpool’s Egyptian for his home encounter with West Ham United, with his total of 276,000 transfers in more than any other player in the Gameweek.

Salah has produced double-figure hauls in each of his last two outings at Anfield.

Philippe Coutinho (£7.4m) and Antonio Rudiger (£6.1m) are among the best options from the Double Gameweek sides.

Aston Villa’s Coutinho hosts Southampton before visiting Leeds United.

The Brazilian has two goals, two assists and 24 points in his three outings at Villa Park. Furthermore, he recorded his season-high haul of 16 points against Leeds in Gameweek 24.

Chelsea centre-back Rudiger offers potential at both ends of the pitch. He visits Burnley and Norwich City, sides who are both among the bottom two for goals scored this season. 

Rudiger has produced 28 shots in 2021/22, placing him third among FPL defenders.  

Differential options

Elsewhere, home encounters with Crystal Palace and Watford lifts Wolverhampton Wanderers’ prospects of clean sheets. 

Centre-back Romain Saiss (£5.0m) has scored twice this term, with his 12 shots in the box bettered by only three team-mates.

Finally, Southampton playmaker James Ward-Prowse (£6.6m) faces Villa and Newcastle United in fine form.

The midfielder has four goals, four assists and 13 bonus in his last 10 outings, totalling 66 points.
