As Fantasy Premier League managers gear up for Double Gameweek 28, Luton Town emerges as a hotbed for potential fantasy points. With a unique short-term schedule, Luton players are under the spotlight as they gear up for three matches in the next two Gameweeks.

Luton Town's Fixture List:

1. Saturday 9 March:

   - Crystal Palace vs. Luton at Selhurst Park, London (20:30 GMT)

2. Thursday 14 March:

   - Bournemouth vs. Luton at Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth (01:00 GMT)

3. Saturday 16 March:

   - Luton vs. Nottingham Forest at Kenilworth Road, Luton (20:30 GMT)

The allure of three matches in quick succession has catapulted Luton players, particularly Alfie Doughty and Carlton Morris, into the spotlight of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

Carlton Morris: Luton's Standout Forward

Carlton Morris, priced at £5.1m, emerges as the second most-bought forward ahead of Double Gameweek 28, with a staggering 176,000 new owners. Since his return to Luton's starting lineup in Gameweek 22, Morris has been a revelation, amassing four goals and two assists in six matches. His total of 39 points trails only Manchester City's Erling Haaland, making him a force to be reckoned with.

 Alfie Doughty: Defensive Asset with Attacking Prowess

Alfie Doughty, priced at £4.7m, tops the charts as the most-bought defender with 136,000 new owners. Doughty's attacking flair has seen him rack up two assists and 16 points in recent matches, cementing his status as a popular FPL choice.

 Other Key Players:

- Tahith Chong (£4.7m):

Capitalizing on an opportunity due to Elijah Adebayo's injury, Chong has impressed with crucial contributions in recent fixtures, including goals against Manchester United and Liverpool.

- Ross Barkley (£5.0m):

While Barkley's form has waned in recent weeks, his potential to impact matches cannot be discounted, having created three big chances.

- Underlying Statistics:

Morris emerges as the focal point of Luton's attack, leading in shots, shots in the box, and big chances. Doughty's attacking contributions and dead-ball prowess make him a valuable asset.

 Conclusion:

As FPL managers navigate Double Gameweek 28, Luton Town emerges as a goldmine for potential fantasy points. With Morris leading the line and Doughty marshaling the defense, Luton players offer enticing prospects for those looking to bolster their fantasy squads. However, with fixtures against Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Nottingham Forest, strategic decision-making becomes paramount as managers seek to maximize returns from this promising outfit.
