so it's do or die time, huge double gameweek this weekend with villa, blackpool, fulham, liverpool, man u and wigan all playing two matches. many will be tempted to use the wildcard to pack their side with as many doublers as possible.

i've managed to squeeze 9 doublers in my side this week with only a four point hit so am saving my wildcard for GW 27 to get a jump on my league rivals. i reckon a lot will have used their wildcards this weekend and i can hit them hard gw 27 when there's not only a bunch of more doublers, but even a triple from birmingham!! has a triple gameweek happened before? let us know.

so my advice is save your wc if at all possible.

if you are intent on using it, man u is the obvious target (@home to birmingham, away to blackpool) and anyone that's still playing the game seriously will have the full quota of 3 this week. you'll want a defender, vidic is the best choice, rafael of course is on a red, rio and evra your next targets. i assume everyone reading this has nani in their squad and for a striker, rotation is a possible issue, i went for berba, lots will be gambling on rooney aswell. my ideal preference would be nani and two defenders if you can manage it.

next nicest choice would be fulham (@hom to stoke, away to pool) and liverpool (away to wolves, @home to fulham). torres will see a lot of transfer action this weekend, how many times has he burned us tho? dempsey and hangeland are good picks for fulham.

all the other doublers aren't that appetising tbh, adam and campbell from blackpool maybe but the fixtures are poor: @home to sunderland and man u so don't go too mad.

newly transferred bent looks like a great pick for villa (@hom to city, away to wig), proven consistent premier league goalscorer now will be getting excellent service from the like of young and downing.

so captain picks? mine is hovering between nani and torres. the dilemma here is nani is very much a "safe" captain choice that the vast majority of serious players will be captaining so if he does well you won't be making much ground. someone like torres who is quite capable of scoring 2/3 goals in a game if he's feeling good is a massive differential that could see you catapulted up your leagues. but how many times have we been burned by him? do we want to go through that pain again? so much pain.

other picks would be bonus points machine adam, vidic/evra/rio for united, or even a singler if you really want a gamble: RVP or tevez.

good luck!!!
