Scout Selection: Best FPL team for Double Gameweek 20

By The Scout 13 Jan 2023

Belgian among eight players with two matches picked in best XI for Double Gameweek 20

Kevin De Bruyne’s (£12.5m) security of starts helps earn him a place in the best XI for Double Gameweek 20 of Fantasy Premier League.

Manchester City are among only four sides to play twice in the upcoming round of fixtures, visiting rivals Manchester United before entertaining Tottenham Hotspur.

De Bruyne has started 16 of Man City's 17 matches this season, joint-top among their outfield players.

That has helped him amass 96 points, scoring three goals and supplying 10 assists.

De Bruyne is joined by team-mates Ederson (£5.4m) and Erling Haaland (£12.2m) in a best XI that lines up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Haaland handed the armband and Marcus Rashford (£7.0m) named as vice-captain.

Ederson (MCI) £5.4m

The goalkeeper offers the safest route into the Man City defence for their Double Gameweek. Ederson earned two bonus points in each of the last two matches he kept a clean sheet, totalling 17 points across those encounters.

Kieran Trippier (NEW) £6.0m

Newcastle United's right-back is the second top-scoring player in home matches this season, earning 68 points in nine outings. One goal, three assists, six clean sheets and 15 bonus points in those encounters highlight Trippier's many routes to returns against Fulham.

Luke Shaw (MUN) £5.1m

The Man Utd full-back has amassed 32 of his 62 points in his three matches since the season resumed. Shaw is the most-bought defender in the Gameweek, earning 405,000+ transfers in for fixtures with Man City and Crystal Palace.

Ben Mee (BRE) £4.6m

Brentford's centre-back boasts strong all-round potential against AFC Bournemouth. At home, Mee's 44 points ranks joint-third among defenders in Fantasy, combining two goals with three clean sheets.

Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) £12.5m

His 57 key passes and 19 big chances created are both more than double any team-mate.

Wilfried Zaha (CRY) £7.3m

Zaha has been Crystal Palace's main goal threat ahead of meetings with Chelsea and Man Utd. His 38 shots, 28 shots in the box, eight big chances and 16 shots on target all rank top for the Eagles this term.

Marcus Rashford (MUN) £7.0m

He has scored in all six of Man Utd's matches across all competitions since the season resumed, totalling seven goals and two assists. That form has made Rashford the No 1 target for Gameweek 20, brought in by over 448,000 managers.

Miguel Almiron (NEW) £5.9m

The Paraguayan produced his season-high return of 15 points in his last meeting with Fulham. Almiron has recorded both his double-figure home hauls this term in his previous four appearances at St James' Park.

Erling Haaland (MCI) £12.2m

Man City's prolific striker has climbed to an incredible 85 per cent ownership for his Double Gameweek. Haaland claimed 23 points in his last meeting with Man Utd and will be a popular pick for the Triple Captain chip.

Harry Kane (TOT) £11.6m

Spurs’ talisman faces Arsenal and Man City on the back of his season-high haul of 16 points in the previous Gameweek. Kane produced 13 points in each of the corresponding fixtures in 2021/22.

Anthony Martial (MUN) £6.6m

An ownership of under five per cent makes the Frenchman a major differential for Man Utd's pair of matches. Martial scored twice to earn his season-high haul of 10 points in the first Manchester derby of 2022/23 in Gameweek 9.
