If you\u2019re in a rush and need some last-minute Fantasy Premier League (FPL) advice, here\u2019s a quick round-up of what you need to know about Double Gameweek 33.<\/p>\n

WHEN\u2019S THE FPL GAMEWEEK 33 DEADLINE?<\/p>\n

All transfers and team selections need to be done by 11:00 BST on Saturday 18 April.<\/p>\n

TIPS FOR CHIPS\"FPL<\/p>\n

The upcoming FA Cup semi-finals mean there\u2019ll be six teams featuring twice in Double Gameweek 33<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Showcased in the latest update on \u2018Great and Good\u2019 elite managers<\/a>, millions are therefore choosing to use a chip at this moment.<\/p>\n

Separate articles pick out the best assets from Bournemouth<\/a>, Brighton and Hove Albion<\/a>, Burnley<\/a>, Chelsea<\/a>, Leeds United<\/a> and Manchester City<\/a>, knowing these will also be absent in Blank Gameweek 34.<\/p>\n

TARGETING THE DOUBLERS\"Best<\/p>\n

Some of these are long overdue for a goal<\/a>, like Dominic Calvert-Lewin (\u00a35.6m) and Marcus Tavernier (\u00a35.4m), who join James Hill (\u00a34.2m) in being superbly cheap Bench Boost guys<\/a>. Jack Hinshelwood (\u00a35.1m) is another, while Zophar bigs up Diego Gomez (\u00a34.9m) in his Q&A<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plus, there are various Leeds options at the back. Safe starter Pascal Struijk (\u00a34.3m) is the league\u2019s second-best defender for penalty area shots (26), whereas Zophar\u2019s Free Hit activation<\/a> includes Jaka Bijol (\u00a33.9m). Teammate Jayden Bogle\u2018s (\u00a34.4m) assist at Old Trafford<\/a> was his third attacking return in seven starts.<\/p>\n

Squads should mix these budget-friendly names with bigger ones like Erling Haaland (\u00a314.5m), Cole Palmer (\u00a310.5m), Antoine Semenyo (\u00a38.2m) and Joao Pedro (\u00a37.7m). All four are unanimous Scout Squad picks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

O\u2019REILLY + EKITIKE UPDATES\"FPL<\/p>\n

An alternative Man City midfielder to Semenyo is Rayan Cherki (\u00a36.4m), who Lateriser likes<\/a>. The French international assisted twice in last week\u2019s win at Chelsea, a match where Nico O\u2019Reilly (\u00a35.1m) hauled but had to come off<\/a> as a precaution.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Pep Guardiola says the left-back is \u201cfine\u201d<\/a> for Sunday\u2019s crunch clash against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s less positive for Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike (\u00a39.2m). A ruptured Achilles tendon<\/a> means he may not recover until 2027, so FPL owners will urgently need a replacement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BEST FPL GAMEWEEK 33 CAPTAIN\"Who<\/p>\n

About to play twice, Erling Haaland is the captain of choice in our user poll<\/a> \u2013 but what does our Rate My Team (RMT) algorithm<\/a> and Captain Sensible<\/a> say?<\/p>\n

TEAM REVEALSSCOUT PICKS + DIFFERENTIALS<\/p>\n

Our weekly selection \u2013 which is essentially a Free Hit in all but name \u2013 contains 10 doublers plus Bruno Fernandes (\u00a310.3m).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A scorer in Bournemouth\u2019s shock win at Arsenal<\/a>, Alex Scott (\u00a35.0m), makes the trio of standout differential picks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PREDICTED LINE-UPS<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve predicted the starting XIs<\/a> of all 20 Premier League teams.<\/p>\n

Whatever you decide to do, good luck with FPL Gameweek 33!<\/p>\n
