Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£4.4m) can provide managers with an ideal cut-price solution over the remaining Gameweeks in Fantasy Premier League.

The midfielder delivered his best score of the campaign in Leicester City’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace

He produced a goal and an assist to collect 13 points on Sunday.

Crucially, Leicester are scheduled to play three Double Gameweeks in the final six rounds of fixtures.

Having started each of the Foxes' last 15 matches, Dewsbury-Hall can prove a vital way of freeing up funds for the run-in. 

The 23-year-old was the top-scoring player among the six sides with a Double Gameweek 33.

But weekend defeats for four of those clubs - Arsenal, Burnley, Manchester United and Southampton - has made many managers cautious of investing in them.

Just three of the 10 most-bought players in the Gameweek have two matches: Leicester’s James Maddison (£6.9m), along with Newcastle United duo Fabian Schar (£4.4m) and Chris Wood (£6.7m).

Most-bought players in DGW33
Player Transfers in (000s) Player Transfers in (000s)
Son 102 Schar 43
Maddison 97 Wood 40
Toney 63 Jota 34
Kulusevski 62 Kane 32
Mount 52 Bowen 31

Instead, Tottenham Hotspur duo Son Heung-min (£11.1m) and Dejan Kulusevski (£6.3m) are among the key targets for their home meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Son has amassed 48 points in the last three Gameweeks, while Kulusevski has just two blanks in his last nine outings. 

Brentford forward Ivan Toney (£6.8m) is also a popular pick, visiting Watford on the back of six goals and two assists in his last five outings. 

While loading up on players who play twice is always a temptation, the overall lack of form among the Double Gameweek 33 sides is driving more managers to consider the long run when making transfers.
