THE CHIP PLAYBOOK
The four chips — when to play each in DGW/BGW windows
Use on your best premium asset when they play twice. A Haaland or Salah double is worth 30–40 points. Best when your captain has two easy fixtures.
All 15 players score, including the bench. Worth using when you have 8+ DGW players across the full squad. Average BB return is +20 over a normal week.
Temporary squad for one week — your original team returns the following GW. Lets you field 15 players from non-blanking teams. Very powerful in mass-blank GWs.
Use your Wildcard in the GW before a major double to build a DGW-heavy squad permanently. The TC or BB can then land on the freshly assembled team.
DOUBLE GAMEWEEKS · COMMON QUESTIONS
What is a double gameweek in FPL?
A double gameweek (DGW) occurs when a Premier League team plays twice in one FPL gameweek — typically because a fixture was rearranged. Players from those teams can earn double the points. They are among the most valuable weeks of the season for high-scoring assets.
What is a blank gameweek in FPL?
A blank gameweek (BGW) occurs when some teams do not have a fixture in a given FPL gameweek, often due to cup ties or rearranged matches. Owning players from blanking teams means scoring 0 points from those players that week.
Which chips should I use in double gameweeks?
The Triple Captain (TC) and Bench Boost (BB) chips are most effective in double gameweeks. TC trebles your captain's points across both fixtures. BB counts all 15 squad members — ideal if you own multiple DGW players on your bench. Free Hit (FH) is best saved for blank gameweeks to field 15 DGW players.
Which FPL players should I target in a double gameweek?
Premium FPL assets from double gameweek teams are the priority — typically attacking mid-price midfielders and forwards with favourable fixtures. Check the schedule above for the next confirmed DGW teams. Avoid heavily rotating managers and players with injury doubts.
How many double gameweeks are there in FPL 2026/27?
The number of DGWs and BGWs varies each season depending on cup rearrangements and postponements. The Premier League typically produces 2–5 DGW windows and a similar number of BGW windows. This page updates automatically as fixtures are confirmed.
