<h2>Chip Strategy: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 33</h2>
<p>As the FPL season moves closer to the endgame, a stock-take of the Top 10k chip position is required. Currently, 17% of Top 10k managers hold the Wildcard chip, with Gameweek 34 a likely target for deployment.</p>
<p>Approximately, 50% of Top 10k managers hold the Bench Boost chip, with Double Gameweek 36 a likely target for many. Significantly, 62% of Top 10k managers hold the second Free Hit chip and this week has seen robust debate about optimal strategy.</p>
<p>Favourable fixtures for high performing single gameweek options, and a lack of motivation and form for double-gameweek assets have been hot topics. Yesterday, the Premier League confirmed that FA Cup progress for Chelsea would create a Double Gameweek 34 for both the Blues and Manchester United.</p>
<p>Chelsea are rated as a 76% chance to qualify for the FA Cup Final which boosts the short-term value of Manchester United assets. FPL managers not playing the Free Hit chip in Double Gameweek 33 may now be more inclined to target Manchester United assets for captaincy.</p>

<h2>Player Position: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 33</h2>
<p>As we approach Double Gameweek 33, it is noteworthy that the average Top 10k manager owns approximately 5.4 players that “double”. <strong>Bukayo Saka (£6.8m)</strong> and <strong>Aaron Ramsdale (£5.1m)</strong> are the heaviest owned Gunners assets, followed by training absentee <strong>Alexandre Lacazette (£8.4m)</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Armando Broja (£5.5m)</strong> and <strong>Wout Weghorst (£6.4m)</strong> are heavily owned but sub-optimal picks, for both this week and beyond. Below I examine key assets from Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Leicester City that represent good options this week in isolation.</p>

<h2>Manchester United: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 33</h2>
<p>The Red Devils’ defeat to Everton sounded the likely death knell on any last hope of Champions League qualification. It will be interesting to see how Manchester United perform with Ralf Rangnick on his way out, and a squad overhaul imminent.</p>
<p>Manchester United rank tenth for minutes per expected goal (60.8) and eleventh for minutes per expected goal conceded (66.1). This recent production looks poor when consider the sides faced over the period: Leeds, Watford, Man City, Spurs, Leicester and Everton.</p>
<p>While Liverpool represent a difficult prospect, Norwich rank worst by some margin for minutes per expected goals conceded (38.0). <strong>Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m)</strong> ranks, among midfielders, second for shots (22) and joint-third for shots on target (9) over the last six.</p>
<p><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.2m)</strong> ranks, among forwards, first for shots (23), shots in the box (19), and shots on target (11) over the period. <strong>Jadon Sancho (£8.9m)</strong> ranks joint-fourth among all midfielders for big chances created (3) and second amongst United colleagues for chances created (12).</p>
<h2>Leicester: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 33</h2>
<p>Leicester City have won four of their last six league games, but rotation suggests that Europe is the main focus. In attack, the toothless Foxes rank third-worst for minutes per expected goal (93.4) over the last six.</p>
<p>Rodgers&#8217; charges rank second-worst for shots conceded (71) and fourth-worst for minutes per expected goal conceded (52.4) over the period. Leicester City face Newcastle United and Everton in a favourable away double-header in Double Gameweek 33, conductive to defensive returns.</p>
<p>Notably, the Toffees rank worst for minutes per expected goal (106.6) while Newcastle rank fourth (90.0) against the metric. Furthermore, the Magpies rank fourth-worst for big chances conceded (14) while Everton sit joint-fifth worst (13).</p>
<p><strong>James Maddison (£7.0m)</strong> ranks first among his Leicester colleagues for chances created (13) and big chances created (2) over the last six. <strong>Harvey Barnes (£6.6m)</strong> ranks third among midfielders for shots (19) over the period, producing attacking returns from one goal and two assists.</p>
<div id="attachment_45575" style="width: 543px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-45575" class="wp-image-45575 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FFStuffImage-46.png" alt="fpl double gameweek 33 " width="533" height="433" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FFStuffImage-46.png 533w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FFStuffImage-46-300x244.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px" /><p id="caption-attachment-45575" class="wp-caption-text">James Maddison vs Harvey Barnes &#8211; Last Six Matches</p></div>
<h2>Newcastle United: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 33</h2>
<p>New ownership, management and investment has sparked a Newcastle revival, with their 36 point total virtually securing Premier League survival. Over the last six, Newcastle have demonstrated a low-level of attacking promise, ranking fourth-worst for minutes per expected goal (90.0).</p>
<p>Defensively, the Magpies rank a steady mid-table ninth for minutes per expected goals conceded (72.9) over the period. Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace will represent stern opposition for the Magpies&#8217; defence, ranking eighth for minutes per expected goal (60.3).</p>
<p>Newcastle will fancy a defensive shut-out against Leicester City, who rank third-worst over the period for minutes per expected goal (93.4). Furthermore, the Foxes rank third-worst over the last six for attempts conceded from set-plays (26) bringing Newcastle’s target-men into focus.</p>
<p><strong>Fabian Schar (£4.4m)</strong> leads the way for set-piece attempts (7) with centre-back partner <strong>Dan Burn (£4.4m)</strong> ranking second with five attempts. Kiwi striker <strong>Chris Wood (£6.7m)</strong> ranks joint-first among his Newcastle colleagues for headed goal attempts (3) over the period.</p>
<div id="attachment_45574" style="width: 543px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-45574" class="wp-image-45574 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FFStuffImage-45.png" alt="fpl double gameweek 33" width="533" height="433" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FFStuffImage-45.png 533w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FFStuffImage-45-300x244.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px" /><p id="caption-attachment-45574" class="wp-caption-text">Dan Burn vs Fabian Schar &#8211; Last Six Matches</p></div>
<h2>Arsenal: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 33</h2>
<p>Three defeats in their last four leaves Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal three points adrift of rivals Spurs and Champions League qualification. In attack, Arsenal rank joint-fourth for shots (88) and sixth for minutes per expected goal (58.2) over the last six.</p>
<p>Over the period, the Gunners rank second-best for shots in the box conceded (28) and fifth-best for minutes per expected goal conceded (89.3). Arsenal travel to Southampton and Chelsea in Double Gameweek 33, with the Saints fixture boding well for attacking returns.</p>
<p>Southampton sit comfortably mid-table, but rank third-worst for minutes per expected goal conceded (49.9) over the last six. Chelsea’s focus on domestic and European cup action, depending on their FA Cup exertions against Crystal Palace, may lead to rotation.</p>
<p><strong>Bukayo Saka (£6.8m)</strong> ranks best among Arsenal colleagues for shots (14) and chances created (14) over the last six. Four headers from inside the box over the period from <strong>Gabriel Magalhaes (£5.4m)</strong> demonstrates a modicum of goal threat.</p>
<p><strong>Aaron Ramsdale (£5.1m)</strong> ranks first among goalkeepers for bonus points (14) this term, scooping two additional points on each of Arsenal’s last three clean sheets.</p>
<h2>Conclusion: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 33</h2>
<p>In conclusion, playing the Free Hit in Double Gameweek 33 is a higher risk play, that involves backing unfashionable assets over dangerous single gameweek options. The strategy is undoubtedly a high ceiling play, ideal for those that require a “hail mary” to achieve their season goal rank.</p>
<p>FPL managers using transfers now have a clear route to target attack Double Gameweek 33 with a Manchester United captain. Cristiano Ronaldo or Bruno Fernandes for captaincy, ownership of approximately seven “double” players, and quality single-gameweek assets could be enough to survive.</p>
