The FPL General picks up the pieces after a big double gameweek and looks ahead to another double in GW29 while also keeping an eye on the upcoming GW30 where a number of teams do not play. We've also got a watchlist update, captaincy advice, plus answers for these questions:

  • Who are the best assets from teams that play twice in DGW29 and don’t blank in BGW30?
  • Stuck with Son but want Kane. Is a Son and Jimenez to Kulusevski and Kane for a -4 worthwhile?
  • Would you sell Coutinho for Kulusevski?
  • Which one Spurs player to pick for the next 2 GWs, Doherty or Kulusevski?
  • Is it worth selling someone like Digne or Saiss ahead of GW29 for a Spurs defender (probably Doherty) for the extra fixture in 29 even though both Villa & Wolves do both play in 30?
  • With Spurs & Arsenal doubling in 29, playing in 30 & good fixtures going forward…are ‘big hits’ (-8,-12) justifiable if single game week players with poor fixtures (eg. Villa or teams blanking in 30) are being replaced?
  • If you owned Reece James, would you hold as he’s due back in GW31? Or sell him on? If so, who for?
  • Jota or Diaz to fill the Bowen spot in midfield?
  • How many and which Leicester assets do we need for the upcoming gameweeks?
  • Best Leicester defensive asset to bring in?
  • Is GW30 worthy of a Free Hit if you can only field 6-7 players or would it be better utilised later in the season for a big DGW?
