<h2>The Best Double Gameweek 25 FPL Chip Strategy</h2>
<p>Gameweek 25 sees <strong>Manchester United and Brighton play twice</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Bruno Fernandes (£11.7m)</strong> is the number one target this week, and the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-captain-for-fpl-double-gameweek-25-fantasy-premier-league-tips/"><strong>ideal captaincy option</strong></a>.</p>
<p><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/best-manchester-united-fpl-players-for-double-gameweek-25/"><strong>This article discusses the other Manchester United FPL players worth considering.</strong></a></p>
<p>I would avoid using any chips other than the Wildcard this in Double Gameweek 25.</p>
<p>This allows you to set up a team for a <strong><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-fpl-bench-boost-and-when-to-use-it/">Bench Boost</a> in Gameweek 26</strong>, Free Hit in Gameweek 27 and 30, and use the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-fantasy-premier-league-triple-captain-and-when-to-use-it/"><strong>Triple Captain</strong></a> later down the line.</p>
<p><strong>Burnley assets will be vital to target on a Wildcard this week</strong> as they double in both Gameweek 26 and 27. United assets as place holders for Salah (Bruno) and Kane (Ronaldo), is another good strategy.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>The Best Double Gameweek 26 FPL Chip Strategy</h2>
<p>Double Gameweek 26 sees eight teams play twice, including Liverpool and Arsenal.</p>
<p>Unless your team is in utter disarray <strong>avoid the Free Hit</strong>. The opportunity to gain an advantage from a Free Hit in Gameweek 27 and 30 is far greater. Fielding a very poor side in one of those gameweeks could be calamitous, whereas if you Free Hit in Gameweek 26, most managers will own at least seven out of your 11 assets. The upside isn&#8217;t as big.</p>
<p>In my opinion, <strong>the Bench Boost is more useful than the Triple Captain in Double Gameweek 26</strong>. Even if the four players on your bench play five games, that&#8217;s 10 additional points (they are likely to play more with a strong team), and this doesn&#8217;t even include potential returns.</p>
<p><strong>Mohamed Salah (£12.8m)</strong> <strong>will be the most popular Triple Captain option</strong>, and rightfully so. If you captain him and he scores 25 points, you&#8217;re only 25 points worse off than those who Triple Captained him without taking into account your Bench Boost. This all lies on the premise he scores 25 points, which is a lot anyway.</p>
<p>Finally, the Triple Captain chip can be used later down the line, when future opportunities present themselves. <strong>Triple Captaining someone with low ownership</strong> can genuinely catapult your season.</p>

<h2></h2>
<h2>The Best Gameweek 27 Chip Strategy</h2>
<p><strong>Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool</strong> <strong>blank</strong> this gameweek. <strong>Burnley have two fixtures</strong> this week. If you still have two Free Hits then use one in Gameweek 27. If you only have one, <strong>save it for Gameweek 30</strong>.</p>
<p>If not, having Burnley assets in this team will be borderline essential, meaning additional transfers don&#8217;t need to be made to bring them in. Rather, you can target assets with<strong> good fixture swings, </strong>like <strong>Chelsea players</strong>, who will become very popular.</p>
<p><strong>Playing your Wildcard</strong> at this point could be a great way to capitalise on a shift in fixtures. The managers can anticipate the changing of FPL trends are always the ones to benefit the most from them. Being able to load up on Chelsea assets could be huge.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>The Best Gameweek 30 Chip Strategy</h2>
<p><strong>Gameweek 30 is expected to be a big Blank Gameweek</strong>. The common wisdom is to Free Hit in Gameweek 30, regardless of your strategy.</p>

<h2>Updated Version (19/02/2022)</h2>
<p><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-double-gameweek-28-and-29-announced-fantasy-premier-league-2021-22-fixture-updates/">Double Gameweek fixtures have been announced for Gameweek 28 and 29</a>.</p>
<p>Below is an ideal strategy, as this Gameweek finishes there will be more clarity and content as to who will be the absolute best picks.</p>
<p><strong>Double Gameweek 26 &#8211; </strong>the Wildcard takes precedent above all, and can be used to setup a Bench Boost in <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-double-gameweek-28-and-29-announced-fantasy-premier-league-2021-22-fixture-updates/">Double Gameweek 28 or 29</a>. <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/should-you-play-the-triple-captain-in-double-gameweek-26-fpl-chip-strategy-2021-22/">Triple Captain</a> is a better option than a <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-fpl-bench-boost-and-when-to-use-it/">Bench Boost</a> now due to opportunities presenting themselves in the future.</p>
<p><strong>Blank Gameweek 27</strong> &#8211; If you Wildcarded in Double Gameweek 26 before you will almost definitely need to Free Hit given what the template structure looks like (for more on that, take a look at the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/best-fpl-wildcard-team-for-gameweek-26-fantasy-premier-league-tips-2021-22/">best FPL Wildcard for Double Gameweek 26</a> article).</p>
<p>If you didn&#8217;t Wildcard in Double Gameweek 26, it&#8217;s pretty likely that your team&#8217;s structure is fine to cope with Blank Gameweek 27, without the use of a chip. Fielding 9/10/11 shouldn&#8217;t be difficult with one free transfer.</p>
<p><strong>Double Gameweek 28</strong> &#8211; If you Wildcarded in Double Gameweek 26, you should be set up for a Bench Boost.</p>
<p>If not, just use free transfers.</p>
<p>For those still with a Wildcard, now would be a fairly good time to play it.</p>
<p><strong>Double Gameweek 29</strong> &#8211; This would be the time to Bench Boost for those who played their Wildcard in Double Gameweek 28.</p>
<p><strong>Blank Gameweek 30 &#8211; </strong>If you played the Wildcard in Gameweek 26, you&#8217;re very likely to be set up for this.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking to play the Wildcard in Double Gameweek 28, you should be fairly well set up but that will be manager dependent, based on their preference for selections and also what happens in the two gameweeks prior.</p>
<p>Finally, if you Wildcarded before Gameweek 26 or intend to still hold it, Blank Gameweek 30 presents a good opportunity for a Free Hit.</p>
