Double Gameweek 33 is shaping up to be a huge week in Fantasy Premier League, and for managers looking to make up ground, backing the right differentials could be decisive.
There is added encouragement after last week’s picks delivered. Cherki rewarded punters with two assists and one bonus point in a 10-point haul against Chelsea, while van Hecke also came good with a clean sheet against Burnley.
With that in mind, we have picked out five more low-owned options for Double Gameweek 33 who could make a big impact.
Our strategy balances attacking potential with defensive coverage:
⚽ 3 attacking player – midfielders or forwards
🛡️ 2 defensive players – defenders or goalkeepers
This ensures coverage across the pitch while prioritising FPL points, essential for Gameweek success.
Evanilson has gone a little under the radar, but the Bournemouth forward looks one of the most appealing differentials for Double Gameweek 33.
As shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox, the 26-year-old Brazil international has delivered 11 attacking returns this season, more than any other Cherries player. Still, there is a strong case that he should have even more.
Across 30 appearances, Evanilson has scored six goals from 9.17 expected goals (xG), which suggests he has underperformed in front of goal. His underlying numbers remain very encouraging, though. He has taken 59 shots, with 22 on target, showing he is regularly getting into dangerous positions.
That level of involvement makes him a very appealing Double Gameweek option, especially with Bournemouth facing Leeds in the second match of the round. Leeds have conceded 29 goals in away games this season, the joint-third most in the league.
Evanilson has also chipped in with five FPL assists, more than any other Bournemouth player, which only adds to his appeal.
There is, however, an argument for taking an even bigger gamble on his teammate Kroupi Jr. The young forward is also a differential at just 5.8% ownership and costs only £4.6m. He has scored an impressive 10 goals in his breakout season and is averaging 0.72 goals per 90 minutes.
As shown in the Opta Heatmaps tool comparison between the two forwards, the budget option comes out on top in several metrics. The obvious concern is minutes. Over the last four Gameweeks, Evanilson has played 349 minutes, while Kroupi Jr has managed just 198.
For managers who want a forward with low ownership, reliable minutes and strong underlying data, Evanilson stands out. For those willing to take a high-risk, high-reward punt, Kroupi Jr could be the one.
We recommended Cherki last Gameweek, and those who took the punt were instantly rewarded. The 22-year-old France international produced two assists and one bonus point against Chelsea for a 10-point return, and he heads into Double Gameweek 33 with plenty of momentum behind him.

Only Bruno Fernandes has recorded more assists than Cherki this season. The Manchester City playmaker now has 11 FPL assists from just 26 appearances, which is an outstanding return rate. His 17 'big chances' created also underline just how dangerous he has been as a creative force, while an average of 0.72 assists per 90 minutes shows that when he is on the pitch, he is likely involved.
Cherki is not just a creator, either. He has scored three goals, taken 35 shots and tested the goalkeeper nine times, which gives him multiple routes to points.
He may not remain a differential for much longer, though. As shown in the Transfer Analytics tool, he is currently the second most-transferred-in player this Gameweek, with 138,033 new owners already.
Many managers may be looking at Haaland, Semenyo and O’Reilly as their three Manchester City assets for the double. However, with O’Reilly forced off injured against Chelsea and his availability still unclear, that could open the door for a Cherki-shaped punt.
Fresh from a 12-point haul against Arsenal, Scott heads into Double Gameweek 33 looking like one of the most tempting midfield punts around.
At just £5.0m and owned by only 2.1% of managers, the Bournemouth man offers a cheap route into an attack with two fixtures and plenty of upside.
The 22-year-old has made 32 appearances this season, and his underlying numbers suggest there could be more to come. While he has returned modestly so far with five attacking returns, he has posted 6.60 expected goal involvements, which points to greater potential than his output currently shows.
Scott has also attempted 41 shots, with 11 of those on target, which is a strong return for a budget midfielder and highlights his willingness to get into scoring positions.
Bournemouth’s Double Gameweek 33 also looks appealing. The Cherries face Newcastle, who have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches, before taking on Leeds.
For managers planning to Free Hit in Blank Gameweek 34, the appeal stretches even further, with Bournemouth then facing Crystal Palace at home and Fulham away. That run places them third for attacking fixtures in the Fixture Planner.
After his latest haul, Scott is unlikely to remain this overlooked for much longer.
With uncertainty over O’Reilly’s availability after he was forced off early against Chelsea, Matheus Nunes could emerge as the go-to Manchester City defender for Double Gameweek 33.
The 27-year-old Portugal international is classified as a defender in FPL, but his output has looked much more like that of a midfielder.
As shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox, no defender has recorded more assists than Nunes this season. He has produced seven FPL assists in 28 appearances, while his creativity is backed up by 23 attempted assists and five 'big chances' created.
He has also taken seven shots and scored once, so although his attacking threat is not built on volume shooting, he is clearly getting into advanced positions and carries strong assist potential.
Nunes has also collected 16 bonus points this season, with only Gabriel earning more among defenders, which further boosts his appeal.
From a defensive perspective, Manchester City have also been reliable. They have kept 13 clean sheets this season, the second most in the league, with only Arsenal, on 15, recording more. Meanwhile, the Predicted Points & Stats tool gives City an 80% chance of keeping a clean sheet across the double, the highest of any side.
He looks like one of the standout differential defenders for Double Gameweek 33, although waiting for further news on O’Reilly could be important before making a final decision.
Kadioglu is a very bold pick, but Double Gameweek 33 could be the perfect time to take the gamble. Brighton’s defence has been in excellent shape recently, with no side keeping more clean sheets than their three in the last six matches, as shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox. They have also conceded just three goals in that spell.
The 26-year-old Turkey international offers more than just defensive potential. While van Hecke, who we recommended last week, may carry the stronger reputation, Kadioglu’s attacking numbers suggest he could be due a return of his own.
Across 31 appearances, he has taken 22 shots, nine of them on target, and posted an xG of 1.52, yet he is still waiting for his first goal of the season. He has also supplied two assists, which adds to his appeal as an attacking full-back.
The fixtures also strengthen his case. Since Gameweek 26, Chelsea have scored just seven goals, the joint-fourth fewest in the league, while Spurs have managed only five, the joint-fewest.
Against two sides who have struggled in attack, Kadioglu could prove to be a very shrewd differential pick.
Double Gameweek 33 looks like a strong opportunity to back low-owned players with genuine upside.
Bournemouth’s double gives both Evanilson and Scott major appeal, Cherki arrives in form after rewarding managers last week, Matheus Nunes offers attacking output from defence, and Kadioglu could be ready to convert promising underlying numbers into points.
For managers chasing rank, these are exactly the sort of under-10%-owned players who can make a real difference.
