What are FPL experts’ chip strategies for Double Gameweek 24?

This upcoming FPL gameweek is among the most intriguing since it marks the season’s first double gameweek. A double gameweek occurs when specific teams compete in two matches due to other obligations in the preceding or following weeks. This weekend features Merseyside rivals Liverpool and Everton participating in a double gameweek.

Liverpool, currently at the top of the table, faces Bournemouth and Everton. Bournemouth has been in exceptional form, making this a challenging match for the Reds. However, Liverpool has encountered minimal difficulties playing against any team this season, so they remain optimistic for a positive outcome. On the other hand, Everton’s situation hasn’t been as favorable. They are currently positioned 16th, coming off two significant victories since David Moyes returned to manage the club. Prior to the Merseyside derby, they will play against Leicester City, who are just one position below them in the standings.

Let us look at what the experts are suggesting for this double gameweek.

FPL Double GW24 Expert Tips and Strategies

I haven’t dismissed the possibility of utilizing the new Assistant Manager chip during Double Gameweek 24 (DGW24), with Arne Slot (£1. 5m) on my radar for Liverpool’s two games, particularly with his potential for consecutive Doubles depending on the result of the EFL Cup semi-finals. Nevertheless, I currently possess three Liverpool players, so I would need to offload one and secure £1. 5m to acquire the Liverpool manager.

I typically prefer to utilize the Wildcard and Bench Boost chips during the Double Gameweeks to enhance their effectiveness. However, with limited information on that front, I’ll be holding off to observe how the remainder of the season unfolds. Following DGW24, we will gain a much clearer insight into the FA Cup and which teams are likely to blank or double later, and we will have confirmation regarding which teams will blank in Gameweek 29.

Back-to-back Double Gameweeks present an excellent chance to utilize the Assistant Manager chip, so I will support David Moyes (£0. 5m) in DGW24 and will subsequently shift to Unai Emery (£0. 8m) or Marco Silva (£1. 1m), based on who secures DGW25. This provides me with four consecutive home matches and two chances for a table bonus throughout DGW24 and DGW25. I remain uncertain about which Assistant Manager I will select in Gameweek 26, but I will probably aim to capitalize on the table bonus once more.

Utilizing transfers for Assistant Managers implies that a Free Hit is probable in Blank GW29, which enables me to conserve the Wildcard and Bench Boost for more favorable Double Gameweeks later in the season.

I have already activated my Triple Captain chip and have three Liverpool players in my lineup ahead of Liverpool’s DGW24.

The announcement of Double Gameweek 25 (DGW25) has prompted me to expedite my decision to utilize the Assistant Manager chip. Consecutive Double Gameweeks and the opportunity for five matches across three Gameweeks is too appealing to ignore. My plan now is to employ the Assistant Manager chip throughout Gameweek 24-26, although the remainder of my strategy will probably stay as is.

I aim to Wildcard in Gameweek 30, having strategically built my team for the blank Gameweek 29, depending on how many of my players lack a fixture in Gameweek 29 due to the EFL Cup final occurring the same weekend. Following that, I will use Bench Boost in either Gameweek 33 or 36, and I am likely to employ Free Hit in Gameweek 34, although depending on the FA Cup outcomes and the subsequent draw, I might advance that and utilize it in Gameweek 29.
