Daniel Farke\u2019s men approach their Double Gameweek in decent defensive form, with two clean sheets and only four goals conceded in their last six matches. Wolves have failed to find the net in four of their last five away trips, and while the Bournemouth encounter perhaps looks unlikely to harvest a shut-out, Darlow has save points to fall back on.<\/p>\n<p>DEFENDERS<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/who-are-the-best-gabriel-replacements-in-fpl-2-1024x455.jpg\" alt=\"Who are the best Gabriel replacements in FPL? 1\" class=\"wp-image-151774\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:500px;height:200px\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Marcos Senesi (\u00a35.2m) is our chosen representative from the Bournemouth defence in Double Gameweek 33. The centre-back has banked defensive contribution (DefCon) points in 22 of his 31 starts this season. He\u2019s also produced four assists and nine clean sheets. In addition, Andoni Iraola\u2019s men are unbeaten in 12 matches, and Senesi racked up 16 points in the reverse fixtures against Newcastle United and Leeds, suggesting he could flourish once more.<\/p>\n<p>Having been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk\/2026\/04\/17\/fpl-gameweek-33-team-news-fridays-live-injury-updates-3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">passed fit by Pep Guardiola in his Friday presser<\/a>, we turn to Nico O\u2019Reilly for Manchester City\u2019s Double Gameweek 33. The \u00a35.0m defender has racked up four goals in his last five Premier League outings, as well as netting a brace in last month\u2019s EFL Cup final. There is clean sheet potential on offer against Arsenal and especially Burnley, too.<\/p>\n<p>Pascal Struijk\u2019s (\u00a34.3m) goal threat is enough to earn him the nod as our second Leeds backline option for Double Gameweek 33. Although he is yet to find the net this term, the centre-half leads the way among all FPL defenders for headed attempts (H) in 2025\/26:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screen-Shot-2026-04-17-at-10.47.58-1024x320.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164547 webpexpress-processed\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Struijk\u2019s opponents in Double Gameweek 33, Wolves and Bournemouth, rank 17th and 20th respectively for StatsBomb set-piece expected goals conceded (xGC) since the turn of the year.<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"898\" height=\"94\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-3.png\" alt=\" 1\" class=\"wp-image-74091 webpexpress-processed\"  \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1069\" height=\"512\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-125286 webpexpress-processed\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ffs-banner.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\"  \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"898\" height=\"94\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-3.png\" alt=\" 1\" class=\"wp-image-74091 webpexpress-processed\"  \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/FFScoutEditorial\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GW33-Basic-Graphic-Free-Trial.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-164072 webpexpress-processed\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With six teams playing twice in Gameweek 33, there\u2019s no surprise to see this week\u2019s Scout Picks heavily&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":537247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[171472,185530,185531,185532,59,35399,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-537246","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-double-gameweek-33","9":"tag-gameweek-33-best-picks","10":"tag-gameweek-33-best-players","11":"tag-gameweek-33-scout-picks","12":"tag-gb","13":"tag-scout-picks","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=537246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/537247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=537246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=537246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
