Chelsea host Man City before visiting Fulham, while the Cottagers visit Leicester. Elsewhere, Arsenal and Newcastle face off in a top-three clash, with Southampton and Nottm Forest doing battle at the opposite end of the table.

Without further ado, here are the best players for FPL DGW19.

Goalkeepers

Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea) and Bernd Leno (Fulham) are the first-choice goalkeepers for the Double Gameweek teams. Chelsea are more likely to keep a clean sheet, but Fulham are arguably in better form.

Man Utd have the best clean sheet odds for DGW19, making David De Gea (Man Utd) a top pick. It is worth noting that Erik ten Hag’s side have kept five clean sheets in their last eight league outings.

Defenders

If you’re looking for a DGW defender, Marc Cucurella (Chelsea), Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Tim Ream (Fulham) and Antonee Robinson (Fulham) are arguably the best options.

Given United’s recent form, Luke Shaw (Man Utd) looks like excellent value at 5.0. Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Pascal Struijk (Leeds) and and Serge Aurier (Nottm Forest) are also among the game’s in-form defenders.

Midfielders

It’s fair to say that Mason Mount (Chelsea) and Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) are the best DGW midfielders to own, although Andreas Pereira (Fulham) could outscore the Chelsea options in DGW19.

In terms clubs with one fixture in DGW19, Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Martin Odegaard (Arsenal), Marcus Rashford (Man Utd) and Solly March (Brighton) are all worth considering.

Forwards

Only three forwards have picked up more FPL points than Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham) this season, with the Serbian striker bagging ten goals and two assists in 14 league appearances. Needless to say, he is the best forward option for DGW19.

Kai Havertz (Chelsea) is the best forward option for Chelsea, although he only has four goals and one assist in 15 league games this term. Erling Haaland (Man City) and Harry Kane (Tottenham) remain excellent picks in attack.
