Transfer recommendations ahead of Gameweek 33 – Gaffers to target Aston Villa, Tottenham and Chelsea’s double headers
ASTON VILLA, Tottenham and Chelsea are the three teams with two fixtures to fulfil in Gameweek 33.
Consequently, Dream Team managers should shop around these clubs when deciding upon their latest transfers.
Before we recommend some niche suggestions, let's highlight a couple of obvious options that should be at the forefront of every gaffer's mind.

Ollie Watkins (£5m) is deservedly the most-popular recruit ahead of Gameweek 33 with the Villains set to host Chelsea and Olympiacos in back-to-back home games.
The England international has scored 23 goals and provided 17 assists in all competitions this season and he would have been salivating at the sight of the Blues' limp performance against Arsenal in midweek.
A meeting with Greek opposition in the Europa Conference League semi-finals on Thursday only sweetens the deal.
Cole Palmer (£5.3m) is other standout name among the assets with two fixtures this coming Gameweek but his viability depends wholly on his availability.
Illness prevented his involvement against the Gunners but he racked up 120 points in just seven Gameweeks before that fixture.
If the Golden Boot contender recovers in time to start against Aston Villa and Spurs then he has to considered a strong option.

Son Heung-min (£4.6m)
Many gaffers would also consider Spurs' No7 an obvious choice but his current ownership of 11.2% suggests it's worth outlining his credentials in full.
The South Korean forward faces a tricky double header in the form of Arsenal and Chelsea but he has a decent record against the so-called big teams - he bagged a brace against the Gunners back in September.
Son averages seven points-per-game in 2023/24 - only Erling Haaland (£7m) and Mohamed Salah (£6.7m) boast better rates among strikers at present.
All 24 of his goal involvements have come in the Premier League and with Ange Postecoglou's side also set to pull double duty again in Gameweek 35, Son is a tempting option for the remainder of the campaign.
Leon Bailey (£3.5m) and/or Moussa Diaby (£3m)
Dream Team bosses should also look ahead at the schedule when formulating their latest strategy.
Villa's second leg against Olympiacos will take place in Greece the following Gameweek (34) meaning Unai Emery's side will play FOUR fixtures in the same time the vast majority of clubs will be action just twice.
Loading up on Villa assets is therefore a logical ploy.
The aforementioned Watkins is clearly the top priority but Bailey and Diaby also notched double-digit hauls against Bournemouth last weekend.
Neither are guaranteed to start both fixtures this coming Gameweek but they should get their fair share of minutes - the Jamaican winger in particular has shown he can make positive impact in quick time.
Bailey has 12 goals and 15 assists to his name this season while Diaby has nine goals and ten assists.
Alexander Isak (£4.6m)
Away from the double headers, Newcastle's No14 will be a popular recruit ahead of a home game against Sheffield United.
The Blades have now conceded more goals than Derby County's infamous 2007/08 outfit and it's not unthinkable they will become the first team to ship 100 goals in a 38-game Premier League campaign.
Isak may even fancy his chances of entering the Golden Boot race this weekend (he's currently three goals shy of Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer) having enjoyed himself against far sturdier defences in recent months.
The Sweden international has amassed 47 points across the last four Gameweeks and is likely to cash in against Chris Wilder's beleaguered troops.

Looking further ahead, the Magpies play Burnley in Gameweek 34 and are among the six teams with two fixtures to fulfil in Gameweek 35 - Isak is a smart option.
