Fantasy EFL Double Gameweek 3: Trap Picks and Hidden Gems

Following an eventful Gameweek 2 that featured all 72 English Football League teams, the upcoming slate kicks off on Saturday at 12:30 BST with seven fixtures across the divisions.

Double Gameweek 3 Schedule and Format

The current round marks the first of 16 scheduled Double Gameweeks for the campaign, offering managers an expanded pool of fixtures as every side in the third and fourth tiers plays twice. To help managers track the calendar, a free fixture ticker is available for updates throughout the matches.

Mini-League Competition and Prizes

To engage the managerial community, Fantasy Football Scout has launched a one-week challenge for Double Gameweek 3 exclusively for participants in their mini-league. According to the outlet’s reporting, the winner will receive a full subscription to the platform valued at approximately £90 per year at full price. Meanwhile, managers finishing in second and third place will earn a one-month free subscription worth £9 each. Participants can join using the league code 0D9I8JH3.

Resources and Strategic Planning

With multiple fixtures on the horizon, managers are evaluating optimal player selections, set-piece takers, fixture difficulty ratings, and injury news. Fantasy Football Scout provides various resources for the double round, including form guides, fan predictions from the “View from the Terraces” feature, and pre-season guides covering summer friendlies and transfers. Beginners can also consult introductory guides detailing rules and core strategies. While much of the coverage is accessible for free, full access to advanced tools and statistics across the EFL, FPL, UEFA Champions League, and Saudi Pro League requires an upgrade to the Premium Members Area.
