Their GW29 double:</p><ul><li><p>Dundee United (H)</p></li><li><p>Dundee (A)</p></li></ul><p>And here is the most important detail of the entire gameweek:</p><blockquote><p><strong>There is a full week between their two fixtures.</strong></p></blockquote><p>Normally doubles are Saturday-Tuesday/Wednesday. That brings rotation, managed minutes and chaos. Motherwell have recovery time. That makes them the perfect Triple-Triple target. I expect minimal rotation and a very similar XI in both matches.</p><p>You must be tripled up. The core two are non-negotiable:</p><ul><li><p>Maswanhise - Listed as a midfielder but playing up front. Explosive. Captain material, top scorer.</p></li><li><p>Elijah Just - The creative heartbeat. Assist and goal threat every game.

I wouldn&#8217;t buy now but if you own you can hold and play.</p></li></ul><p>After GW29, their fixtures toughen before the split. You can hold Ferry and Maynard-Brewer longer term though. If you have a third asset then prioritise selling post-DGW29.</p><h4>Aberdeen:</h4><ul><li><p>Kevin Nisbet &#8211; In a purple patch. Talisman. On penalties and set pieces.</p></li></ul><p>That&#8217;s it. Aberdeen&#8217;s double is very tough: Hearts away, Celtic at home.

Not as a blanket recommendation, but as a structural guide, showing what the optimal squad shape looks like right now and where the real value sits.</p><div

That balance is key with overhaul.</p><h4>Goalkeepers</h4><p>A clean rotation right through to the end of the season. You&#8217;re never forcing a bad fixture, and you&#8217;re always live for save points and bonus.</p><h4>Defence</h4><p>Heavy coverage from the strongest sides, with genuine attacking upside and bonus potential. Ferry becomes especially valuable post-split. At that point, he&#8217;s a set-and-forget starter most weeks.</p><h4>Midfield</h4><p>Five explosive picks, good double coverage. All have goal involvement, and none are passive &#8220;two-point&#8221; placeholders. This is where upside wins mini-leagues.</p><h4>Strikers</h4><p>Braga remains outstanding value and just keeps ticking over. The other two are focal points for their teams - high minutes, penalties, constant involvement. I like them for the double and I like them even more for the run-in.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Boost strategy</h3><p><strong>You must play a boost in GW29.</strong></p><div

tricky</p></li></ul><p>Hibs are excellent short-term buys (especially midfield), but managers must prepare to come off a triple-up after the upcoming double.</p><h3><strong>Motherwell: long hold until GW18/19</strong></h3><p>Motherwell players continue to return solid points, pass the eye test and have an excellent run:</p><ul><li><p>GW13 double</p></li><li><p>GW14 difficult (Hearts H)</p></li><li><p>GW15-18: Very strong run (Falkirk A, Livingston H, Dundee Utd A, Dundee H)</p></li></ul><p>Their fixture turn comes at:</p><ul><li><p><strong>GW19 and 20:</strong> Rangers (A), Celtic (H) - <em>sell window</em></p></li></ul><p>Motherwell remain one of the best &#8220;medium-term&#8221; teams to own.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

of this period.</p><p>Fixtures (from GW17):</p><ul><li><p><strong>GW17:</strong> Blank, due to Premier Sports Final</p></li><li><p><strong>GW18-19:</strong> Brilliant run (Livingston H, Kilmarnock H)</p></li><li><p><strong>GW21:</strong> Double</p></li><li><p><strong>GW22:</strong> Another double</p></li><li><p><strong>GW23-24:</strong> Decent fixtures</p></li></ul><p>Because they double <strong>twice in a row</strong>, and because they play an extremely predictable XI, you will want to have a plan to bring in their players for this boost window.</p><blockquote><p><strong>The triple up on St Mirren is </strong><em><strong>essential</strong></em><strong> from GW21 onwards, </strong>and ideally a double up on St Mirren from GW18 in preparation.</p></blockquote><h4><strong>Best St Mirren assets (currently):</strong></h4><ul><li><p><strong>Shamal George</strong> (GK)</p></li><li><p><strong>Mandron</strong>, <strong>Nlundulu</strong> (FWDs)</p></li><li><p><strong>Freckleton</strong>, <strong>Declan John</strong> (DEFs)</p></li></ul><p>Their reliability and minutes security will be unmatched during the doubles. I don&#8217;t actually rate their midfield too highly but that could change between now and the &#8216;buy period&#8217; from GW18 so monitor their assets and bring in the three most in form that complements your squad structure.</p><h3><strong>Teams to avoid: Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Livingston</strong></h3><p>Although these teams double during the GW13-24 period, they aren&#8217;t worth investing or targeting for me.</p><p>Dundee United&#8217;s double in GW17 includes Celtic - not worth targeting for me.<br>Aberdeen remain inconsistent and are best avoided until form improves - their double include Rangers (A) as well.

It&#8217;s likely you&#8217;ll be on the following combination leading up to GW22 without needing to take hits.</p><ul><li><p>Triple Hearts, triple Celtic (assuming both still challenging up the top of the league)</p></li><li><p>Triple St Mirren (to attack their double double)</p></li></ul><p>I&#8217;d also be going into this week with 1-2 Hibs players for their home fixture vs Motherwell.</p><p>This set up in GW22 gives you 11<strong> home players</strong> without needing any extra transfers.

that&#8217;s exactly why <strong>Triple-Triple</strong> fits so well.</p><p>Triple-Triple doesn&#8217;t require lots of planning or building to 9-11 players to maximise it, you only needs three. Here are some good options that week, with the caveat we are still a long way away.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Tavernier</strong> (elite upside, penalties, bonus monster)</p></li><li><p>Rangers midfielders/attackers that emerge between now and then e.g. <strong>Raskin, Gassama</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Mandron </strong>(excellent minutes, great double, likely to have him as part of your St Mirren triple up)</p></li><li><p><strong>Karlsson</strong> (Aberdeen&#8217;s standout pick)</p></li></ul><p>Why GW21 works:</p><ul><li><p>You avoid committing transfers to bad teams.</p></li><li><p>You don&#8217;t disrupt your GW22 Home Advantage setup - it is very difficult to play this boost in GW22 and maximise GW21 with a boost that requires better planning</p></li><li><p>You target the 2-3 best individual assets instead of the whole team.</p></li><li><p>You keep squad structure intact.</p></li></ul><p><strong>&#8594; Conclusion: GW21 is the ideal Triple-Triple week.</strong></p><div><hr></div><h3><strong>Midfield Dynamos: GW13 (explosive, practical, and lineup-safe)</strong></h3><blockquote><p><strong>Reminder:</strong> x2 multiplier applied to all midfielders, no captain/vice captain multipliers apply.</p></blockquote><p>GW13 is unusual in that it gives us lineups for eight teams, including both key double teams.</p><p>Because Midfield Dynamos is a chip that relies on:</p><ul><li><p>Minutes</p></li><li><p>Starts</p></li><li><p>High floors and high ceilings</p></li></ul><p>&#8230;GW13 becomes the natural slot.</p><p>If all start, the strongest one-week midfield five is:</p><ul><li><p>McGrath (Hibs)</p></li><li><p>Boyle (Hibs)</p></li><li><p>Mulligan (Hibs)</p></li><li><p>Maswanhise (Motherwell)</p></li><li><p>Just (Motherwell)</p></li></ul><p>Three Hibs and two Motherwell - exactly the teams doubling.</p><p>This is the combination that offers <strong>genuine explosive upside</strong> but beware, it is suboptimal as you&#8217;ll likely need to remove Hearts and Celtic midfielders forcing managers into awkward long-term commitments. We won&#8217;t want triple Hibs from GW14 so having three of the above five plus a Celtic and/or a Rangers midfielder (who both have a decent fixture) is still worth playing it for me.</p><p><strong>&#8594; Conclusion: GW13 = Midfield Dynamos for the majority of teams.</strong></p><blockquote><p>There is an argument to flip this and play triple triple in GW13 and midfield dynamos in GW21. This does rely on Rangers midfielders emerging and being in your team by GW21 and you being confident in: their ability to deliver <em>and</em> your home advantage set up the week after.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h2><strong>Blank gameweeks and squad navigation</strong></h2><p>Blanks matter less during this window than the doubles and boosts, but they will influence transfer timing.</p><h4><strong>GW15: Hibs and Livingston blank</strong></h4><p>This is the one you must actively plan around. If you triple up on Hibs for GW13, you almost certainly need to roll back to a double-up or less straight afterwards.</p><h4><strong>GW17: St Mirren blank</strong></h4><p>This is convenient because it naturally delays the &#8220;buy-in&#8221; point for St Mirren to <strong>GW18</strong>, which perfectly aligns with their good fixture followed by back-to-back doubles.</p><h4><strong>GW20: Hearts and Falkirk blank</strong></h4><p>Simple to navigate: just bench your three Hearts players.</p><p>The fixture ticker does the heavy lifting here - but the key takeaway is that the blanks are all manageable with basic planning and bench depth.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

GW4 brings the Old Firm derby, but the real story is what lies just ahead: a likely <strong>Double Gameweek in GW5</strong>, the only double before the first boost window closes.</p><p>With three powerful boosts to deploy between GW1-12, how you plan and time them could define your rank for the rest of the season. This guide covers when to play each boost, how to prepare your squad, and which fixtures to target, so you&#8217;re ready to maximise points when it matters most.</p><h3>Big Caveat Up Top</h3><p>At the time of writing, <strong>Double Gameweek 5 (DGW5) has </strong><em><strong>not</strong></em><strong> been officially confirmed</strong> by the SPFL.</p><ul><li><p>Based on their own Q&amp;A, postponed GW3 fixtures should be rescheduled for the next available midweek (just after GW5).</p></li><li><p>That means we expect DGW5 to feature <strong>Hibs, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd, Falkirk, Dundee, and Livingston</strong>.</p></li></ul><p>I&#8217;m preparing my own team as if DGW5 <em>will</em> happen, but managers should plan with some caution until it&#8217;s officially announced (likely early September, before the international break).</p><blockquote><p>&#128202; <strong>Make sure you have my <a href="http://bit.ly/fixtureticker">Fixture Ticker </a>open alongside this article.</strong> It&#8217;s kept updated with likely DGWs, fixture swings, and difficulty ratings.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h2>Available boosts and strategy</h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

If you don&#8217;t use them, they expire.</p><p>A strong boost use can net you <strong>30-50 extra points</strong>, far outweighing hits (-4 per extra transfer). This makes planning your boosts around fixture swings and doubles absolutely essential.</p><p>Here&#8217;s a rundown of what&#8217;s available in GW1-12:</p><h3>Jeepers Keepers</h3><p><em>(Both goalkeepers score points in that week and you effectively get a 12th player with multiple bonus routes to points)</em></p><p>This is often the most explosive boost if you set it up right. It rewards GKs facing <strong>lots of shots</strong> (saves are worth 3 points each).</p><h4><strong>Best GW5 Options</strong></h4><ul><li><p><strong>Prior (Livingston, &#163;4.5m)</strong> - two away games projected (Aberdeen A, Dundee A). Already racking up saves, could hit double digits.</p></li><li><p><strong>Kucherenko (Dundee Utd, &#163;5m)</strong> - Hibs A + Aberdeen H.

home. Bowie, Bushiri, Hibs Mid (Boyle/Mulligan) strong picks.</p></li><li><p><strong>Livingston (at Aberdeen + Dundee)</strong> - double away games for Prior + others.</p></li><li><p><strong>St Mirren (at Falkirk)</strong> &#8211; Mandron or a defensive punt.</p></li><li><p><strong>Motherwell (at Dundee)</strong> - Just/Longelo perfect one-week plays.</p></li></ul><blockquote><p>With a few hits or overhaul, you can realistically field <strong>11 away players in DGW5</strong>. My own plan is Away Days in GW5, Jeepers Keepers later (likely GW8).</p></blockquote><h4>Other Options</h4><ul><li><p><strong>GW8</strong> &#8594; Celtic (Dundee A), Hearts (Killie A), Aberdeen (St Mirren A). Very buildable for 8&#8211;9 away players that would be good picks in any case.</p></li><li><p><strong>GW11</strong> &#8594; Celtic (Utd A), Hibs (Motherwell A), Killie (Falkirk A). Riskier but still viable.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3>Triple-Triple</h3><p><em>(Three captains, all on 3x points)</em></p><p>This boost shines when <strong>Celtic, Rangers + one other top team all have strong fixtures</strong>.</p><ul><li><p><strong>GW8</strong> &#8594; Celtic (Dundee A), Rangers (Utd H), Hibs (Livi H). Nygren + Maeda + Bowie/Boyle could smash.</p></li><li><p><strong>GW12</strong> &#8594; Celtic (Killie H), Rangers (Dundee A), Hearts (Utd H). Shankland + Old Firm trio ideal.</p></li></ul><blockquote><p>I&#8217;d avoid it in DGW5 - rotation risk + uncertainty around nailed minutes for Hibs/Aberdeen attackers who you would have to target with the double, .

It comes straight after the international break, the transfer window will be closed, and you&#8217;d have maximum clarity on nailed players. <strong>The problem is that in Gaffr you can only play one boost per week.</strong> </p><p>If you Overhaul in GW5, you block yourself from using the explosive chips such as Away Days, Jeepers Keepers, or Triple-Triple in what is shaping up to be the only and the biggest Double Gameweek of the first part of the season. That&#8217;s why if you want to set your squad up properly for DGW5, the Overhaul has to be played in <strong>GW4</strong>.</p><p><strong>&#128073; Quick test:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Need 5-6 changes? Take hits, keep your explosive chips and don&#8217;t overhaul.</p></li><li><p>Need 9-11 changes? I&#8217;d recommend using the Overhaul for GW4.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3>&#9989; Pros of Overhaul Now (GW4)</h3><ul><li><p>3 weeks of data &#8594; better idea who&#8217;s nailed and in form.</p></li><li><p>Fix problem areas immediately (wrong Celtic picks, too many Rangers, missing DGW assets).</p></li><li><p>Jump on Hibs, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd early.</p></li><li><p>Grab Motherwell value (Longelo, Just).</p></li><li><p>Set up DGW5 without taking extreme hits.</p></li><li><p>Bank early price rises.</p></li><li><p>Align with future boosts (GW5 &#8594; Away Days or Jeepers Keepers, GW8 &#8594; Jeepers Keepers or Away Days)</p></li></ul><h3>&#9888;&#65039; Risks of Overhaul Now</h3><ul><li><p>You have to sacrifice an explosive chip (Jeepers Keepers/Away Days/Triple-Triple).</p></li><li><p>-8 or -12 can be clawed back when your boost nets +40.</p></li><li><p>Transfer window still open; &#8220;nailed&#8221; picks may move, new signings may reduce nailed picks minutes.</p></li><li><p>International break next &#8594; added injury risk.</p></li><li><p>DGW5 not official confirmed yet by the SPFL (though very likely).</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3>Under-the-radar upside: Go light on Old Firm &amp;

Killie.</p></li><li><p><strong>Hearts</strong> &#8594; Braga emerging as a bargain striker.</p></li><li><p><strong>Hibs</strong> &#8594; Bowie/Bushiri/Mulligan give strong home coverage vs St Mirren.</p></li><li><p><strong>Aberdeen</strong> &#8594; fixture swing starts immediately with Falkirk at home.</p></li></ul><p>So while others stumble with Rangers/Celtic assets cancelling each other out, an Overhaul squad can already bank gains in GW4 before the DGW advantage even arrives.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Overhaul Squad-Building Principles</h2><div

Killie).</p></li><li><p><strong>Optionals:</strong> Schmeichel (if you don&#8217;t want a DGW keeper), Carter-Vickers if desperate for a defender.</p></li><li><p><strong>Avoid:</strong> overloading defence or picking strikers; rotation risk high at the moment.</p></li></ul><h4>Rangers (0&#8211;1 pick)</h4><ul><li><p><strong>Hold only Gassama</strong> (saves you a transfer in GW6 when you&#8217;ll want him back).</p></li><li><p>Clear out excess Gers (including Tavernier).</p></li></ul><h4>Hibs (2&#8211;3 picks)</h4><ul><li><p><strong>Bowie</strong> (nailed #9, essential).</p></li><li><p><strong>Bushiri</strong> (nailed, bonus machine), <strong>Hanley</strong> if you want a cheaper CB option.</p></li><li><p><strong>Mids:</strong> Mulligan (early signs indicate a great season ahead), McGrath (early returns), Boyle (explosive but riskier as less nailed now).</p></li><li><p><strong>Smith</strong> (GK) = avoid unless already owned when he should double to easy hold.</p></li></ul><blockquote><p><strong>Remember: </strong>Hibs are great in GW4 and an excellent potential double in GW5. After that the fixture run is really bad so a double rather than a triple up might be better. Build a deep squad so you can bench them in difficult fixtures if needed.</p></blockquote><h4>Aberdeen (1-2 picks)</h4><ul><li><p><strong>Mitov</strong> (keeper; strong DGW &amp; run after).</p></li><li><p><strong>Defence:</strong> Jensen (most nailed), or watch for a nailed CB.</p></li><li><p><strong>Mids:</strong> Aouchiche (No.10, strong data 0.34 xG/90), Milanovic (data worse but looks threatening). European game will tell us more.</p></li><li><p><strong>FWD:</strong> only if one striker nails down minutes pre-GW4, which is unlikely at this point.</p></li></ul><h4>Dundee Utd (1-2 picks)</h4><ul><li><p><strong>Kucherenko</strong> (GK; save machine, Jeepers Keepers candidate).</p></li><li><p><strong>Ferry</strong> (LB/LW, attacking threat, 5.5m).</p></li><li><p><strong>Esselink</strong> (cheaper nailed CB).</p></li><li><p><strong>Dolcek</strong> (midfielder with early goals, only 5.6m).</p></li></ul><h4>Motherwell (1-2 picks)</h4><ul><li><p><strong>Longelo</strong> (super attacking full-back, 3 goals already).</p></li><li><p><strong>Just</strong> (on fire, GW5 @ Dundee is perfect Away Days pick).</p></li><li><p><strong>Ward</strong> (GK, leads league in saves/90, great Jeepers Keepers option later, appears to be nailed at just 4.1m).</p></li></ul><h4>Riskier doublers (use carefully)</h4><ul><li><p><strong>Livingston:</strong> poor run after DGW, but <strong>Prior GK</strong> is gold (DGW5 Away Days + Jeepers Keepers later).</p></li><li><p><strong>Falkirk:</strong> only Bain (GK saves).</p></li><li><p><strong>Dundee:</strong> McCracken (GK saves), Graham (4.0 nailed DEF with DGW as enabler).</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3>My Current Overhaul Draft (GW4)</h3><div

Transfers are permanent.</p><blockquote><p>This is your &#8220;wildcard&#8221; equivalent.</p></blockquote><p>Unlike FPL, taking hits in Gaffr (&#8211;4 points per extra transfer) isn't as punishing though. That&#8217;s because well-timed boosts can swing your score by 30&#8211;40+ points, easily offsetting a few deductions. So this chip can be seen as <strong>less critical</strong> than in FPL as you can also take hits to make several changes (a mini wildcard) and prioritise using a different boost instead of using overhaul. That said, it&#8217;s still hugely valuable for:</p><ul><li><p>Fixing a broken squad</p></li><li><p>Rebuilding after injury/rotation chaos</p></li><li><p>Setting up a new core for upcoming fixture shifts or boosts</p></li></ul><blockquote><p>You&#8217;ll <strong>likely get 3 Overhauls per season</strong> (1 per 12-week pool), though not 100% confirmed, so it may more more optimal to play it in the next season block when your team might benefit from it more.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h4>2. <strong>Old Firm</strong></h4><p>All Celtic and Rangers players in your starting XI score double.</p><ul><li><p>No captain, vice, or emergency choices apply</p></li><li><p>Bench is not impacted</p></li></ul><p>Use when both Old Firm teams have great fixtures, or double, and when stacked with 5-6 of their best players. </p><div><hr></div><h4>3. <strong>Away Day</strong></h4><p>Anyone in your <strong>starting XI</strong> who&#8217;s playing away gets 2x their points.</p><ul><li><p>Captain, vice, and emergency are disabled</p></li><li><p>Starters only (bench does not benefit)</p></li></ul><p>&#9989; Ideal when you can line up 9+ players playing away, preferably with strong fixtures, although that can be challenging.</p><div><hr></div><h4>4. <strong>Midfield Dynamos</strong></h4><p>All 5 starting midfielders get x2 points.</p><ul><li><p>Bench mids don&#8217;t count</p></li><li><p>No captain multipliers apply</p></li></ul><p>Effective only if you have five quality mids playing in favourable fixtures.

Ahead of the new season, I&#8217;m launching a new feature on the website with its own dedicated section - <strong>FANTASY FOOTBALL.</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>Specific section unsubscription instructions are at the end of the article - if you do not want to receive fantasy football emails.</strong></p></blockquote><p>There&#8217;s a massive community of 11 million people that play the English Premier League Fantasy Football game. If you&#8217;ve never played it before then essentially, you create your own team <strong>by picking real life players, using a set budget</strong> - then earn points based on those <strong>players&#8217; actual performances</strong> in real matches. </p><blockquote><p>If a defender has a clean sheet, or a player scores or assists a goal = <strong>points gained.</strong> <br>If your player gets sent off or concedes loads of goals = <strong>points lost.</strong> </p></blockquote><p>You set your starting XI each week from a squad of 15 players, then are able to make transfers for the following week, bringing in a player that you think will do well while transferring out someone that hasn&#8217;t been getting you returns. The result is you end up taking much more of an interest in the matches, as you want to see &#8216;your&#8217; players gaining points in games you ordinarily wouldn&#8217;t have an interest in. It can be good fun.</p><p>Personally, I am one of those 11 million that play English Premier League fantasy football, but have never played a Scottish equivalent. Until now.</p><p></p><div><hr></div><h3>SPFL FANTASY TIPS</h3><p>I&#8217;ve joined forces with a very impressive social media account called <a href="https://x.com/SPFLfantasy">SPFL Fantasy Tips.</a> They are a new account, that will be posting regular data-driven tips focusing <strong>only on the Scottish fantasy game</strong>, giving you fantastic stats based insight into which players you could pick for your team. </p><p>I&#8217;ve met with the person behind the account this week and have decided that they will <strong>be joining the team at ScottishFootball.info</strong> - you will see their username on the Byline at the top of any future articles they post within the &#8220;Fantasy Football&#8221; section of the website. Everything they post will always be available to all ScottishFootball.info subscribers - including free subscribers - as we look to build up a community of players over the coming seasons.</p><div
