We’re in the penultimate gameweek of the 2023/24 FPL season, and it could be the highest scoring yet.
It’s a double gameweek and there are six teams playing twice, which will affect many FPL managers’ plans. 
For some, this will be the week they play their Bench Boost chip.
If you find yourself in that camp, read on for <a href="https://www.squawka.com/">Squawka</a>’s tips on cheaper players you can sign for your bench to maximise your DGW37 points total.

<h3>Goalkeeper: Djordje Petrovic</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Fixtures: Nottingham Forest (A), Brighton (A)</h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Price: £4.6m</h4>
</li>
</ul>
Naturally, you’ll be eyeing up a goalkeeper that has a double gameweek, with Guglielmo Vicario (£5.3m) and Djordje Petrovic looking like probably the best pair without denting the budget too much.
 Petrovic is the cheaper option, and he is also the most transferred-in goalkeeper this week.
Chelsea are in good form at the moment, with three clean sheets in their past five games, giving the Serbian stopper a return of 25 FPL points.
Even when Chelsea conceded six goals against Arsenal, Petrovic still returned two points thanks to his six saves.
 It is worth noting that Chelsea haven’t kept an away clean sheet in 13 games, but on paper these are favourable fixtures.

<h3>Defender: Jarrad Branthwaite</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Fixture: Sheffield United (H)</h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Price: £4.6m</h4>
</li>
</ul>
You’ll probably want to pack your team with players set to play twice, but Jarrad Branthwaite is a decent option for this gameweek. 
Priced at just £4.5m, Branthwaite is among the cheaper defenders, but only four have scored more points than his 117 this season.
 Since shipping six to Chelsea, Branthwaite and Everton have conceded just one goal in four games, with the Englishman posting a return of 31 points.
Crucially, Everton are at home against strugglers Sheffield United this weekend, and the Toffees have kept a clean sheet in each of their past four home league games. 
The Blades average 0.89 goals per away game in the Premier League this season, with an average away xG of 0.76.

<h3>Midfielder: Bruno Guimaraes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Fixtures: Brighton (H), Man Utd (A)</h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Price: £5.8m</h4>
</li>
</ul>
There are a fair few midfield options when it comes to the double gameweek, and you could have all five of your midfielders on the pitch. 
But if you don’t, Bruno Guimaraes is a good one for your bench. 
The Brazilian is owned by just 3% of FPL managers, so is also a decent differential option if you’re looking to gain ground on rivals.
Guimaraes is in good form with attacking returns in four of his past five games, for a total tally of 36 points.
To add to that, there’s been a good split between home and away matches too, with returns in two at St James’ Park and two on the road. That’s relevant this gameweek, as Newcastle both play home and away. 
During that run, Guimaraes has also received bonus points in three matches, including maximum bonus in the 1-0 win over Fulham when he scored the only goal.

<h3>Forward: Yoane Wissa</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>Fixture: Bournemouth (a)</h4>
</li>
<li>
<h4>Price: £5.7m</h4>
</li>
</ul>
Most of the strikers with a double that are worth owning are expensive, or at risk of rotation.
So it may be better to go for someone like Yoane Wissa, who could boost the points from the bench in one match against Bournemouth. 
Brentford are away to the Cherries this weekend, but rather than hamper Wissa, this could see him among the goals.
Wissa has scored in four of his last six away Premier League matches, netting five goals during that spell.
 At the same time, Bournemouth have averaged 1.44 goals conceded per game at home in the league this season, with five clean sheets in 18 matches.
