It's make or break time over the next few weeks as we enter that time of the season when fantasy managers cling for dear life as they navigate a turbulent fixture list. Fortunately, we are here with some low owned gems as Luton, Liverpool, Manchester City and Brentford are all gifted with a double gameweek. Don't forget to vote for your pick of the tips below

Conor Bradley (LIV) DEF Ownership: 24% Next Fixture: BRE (A), LUT (H)
Undoubtedly Liverpool and Manchester City starters will be hot property for this week, but it's worth seeing if you can sneak a couple fringe players into your teams, if only in the hope of one start and one bench outing. A prime candidate for this is the returning Conor Bradley who up until the sad news of the loss of his father was on a hot streak of form. With news of Alexander-Arnolds injury, Klopp will be needing to turn to Bradley or Gomez and whilst the odds are on one start for each, I much prefer the attacking potential of Bradley, even if only joining the fray from the bench.

Sergio Reguillon (BRE) DEF Ownership: 16.9% Next Fixture: LIV (H), MCI (A)
Certainly not a pick for the clean sheets, I'm going to go ahead and assume that all but potentially Rico Lewis have been picked from even the most remote chances for a starting City defender and instead I’ll turn to a wing back experiencing somewhat of a renaissance. First impressing in his couple of outings on loan at Manchester United earlier in the season, Reguillon has proved a constant threat down the wing since joining Brentford and with Ivan Toney and even Neal Maupay grabbing goals up top for Brentford, I can see Reguillon sneaking points in spite of the tough fixtures he faces this week.

Harvey Elliott (LIV) MID Ownership: 7.1% Next Fixture: BRE (A), LUT (H)
My final double gameweek pick for this week goes to Harvey Elliott. In truth, I battled with namesake, Harvey Barnes, as to which will be the better pickup for my own team and landed on Barnes to ensure I have some coverage next week in midfield. However, should this not be as much of a concern for your own side then Elliott could offer good value and is fresh off the back of a brace of assists when off the bench last time out against Burnley. I fancy that it's still Curtis Jones spot to lose in the starting 11, but with the fixture pile-up, Elliott may get the nod to start in one of Liverpool’s two fixtures this week.

Declan Rice (ARS) MID Ownership: 48.3% Next Fixture: BUR (A)
Let's not forget that all too often the temptation of a double gameweek can serve to be a distraction from some otherwise great options and a player I've tipped previously this season in Declan Rice returned a monster 14 point haul last time out in Arsenals demolition of West Ham and shouldn’t be overlooked if available. Now on a number of set piece duties, Rice has bagged three assists in the last 4 gameweeks and has duly teed up Saliba and Gabriel to nod home. Not shy of a shot or two himself, Rice could present some with a great route into an otherwise crowded set of Arsenal options.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (EVE) FWD Ownership: 45.9% Next Fixture: CRY (H)
So close to breaking his losing streak in front of goal two weeks back against Spurs, DCL is now at 14 games since he last stuck the ball in the back of the net. For the managers who have finally lost faith and discarded, I think they may live to regret the decision this week. Everton have impressed since the points deduction, galvanising the club and inspiring a sense of urgency into their attacking play. With a home encounter against a much depleted Crystal Palace side this week, I can see this finally being the week that DCL returns. If you can grab him, I'd give him a roll of the dice.

That will do it for this week from Draft Fantasy! Best of luck on the waiver wire!
