Double gameweek chaos hits FPL as Manchester City and Bournemouth offer triple-ups. Cherki (£6.3m) and Semenyo (£8.2m) are must-haves for City fans, with the former riding a 13-assist season and the latter blanking in two straight matches. Bournemouth’s defense stands out: Marcos Senesi (£5.2m) and James Hill (£4.2m) could rack up defcon points across both fixtures, even if Bournemouth concedes. Their combined stats—Senesi’s 21 defcon returns and Hill’s consistent blocks—make them a clean sheet play.

Bournemouth’s midfield also demands attention. Marcus Tavernier (£5.4m) has taken 16 shots in five games with 2.15 xG, while Diego Gomez (£4.9m) adds defcon upside. Both players thrive in Brighton’s fixtures, with Gomez contributing three defcon points in seven starts. Their mix of goal threat and defensive work makes them dual-purpose assets.

Haaland’s absence reshapes City’s attack, but Semenyo’s versatility (21 returns) and Cherki’s Chelsea form (13 assists) justify their inclusion. Meanwhile, Jan Paul van Hecke (£4.6m) offers defcon potential for Brighton, with both fixtures likely to test his blocking skills. Spurs’ shaky defense adds to the appeal of his double.

Chelsea’s collapse leaves Cole Palmer (£10.5m) as a risky but essential pick. His penalty-taking and central role could spark a revival, though the team’s poor form remains a concern. For FPL managers, balancing City’s attackers, Bournemouth’s defense, and Chelsea’s midfielders is key to navigating this volatile double gameweek.
