Carling Victory Postpones Merseyside Clash
Filed under: Premier League Fixtures - Posted by: Andy
While the Anfield faithful celebrate their Carling Cup semi-final victory over Man City, the minds of Fantasy football managers have already moved on to more pressing matters.
Following on from their 3-2 aggregate win this evening, we have another blank fixture looming, with the promise of a double Gameweek to come.
Prior to this evening, Liverpool were set to play host to rivals Everton in Gameweek 26, on Saturday February 25. However, with a trip to Wembley to face Cardiff in the final on the Sunday now secured, this league fixture will be postponed.
As a result, Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures (wlv, TOT, mun, blank, ARS) tell a fairly grim tale, while their Merseyside rivals have an equally unappealing slate ahead of them (MCY wig, CHE, blank, qpr).
The flipside of this, of course, is that this fixture will need to be rearranged and will undoubtedly, at some point, give both of these teams a double Gameweek. It’s now down to the Premier League to find the most appropriate date to reschedule the clash.
For now, we can only really speculate when the double Gameweek will fall. With both sides uninvolved in European competitions, there will certainly be many midweek slots available. We will, of course, share the news of the rescheduled fixture as soon as word breaks.
While the Carling Cup has made the impact on the Merseyside, the FA Cup will likely be the major factor behind all impending double Gameweeks this season. With such a tight schedule ahead of the European Championship, fixture congestion awaits.
Every FA Cup game from the quarter-finals, through to the Wembley showpiece, will take place on a Premier League weekend. The last eight of the competition will be contested in Gameweek 29, so we can expect plenty more rescheduling and double Gameweeks to arrive for the sides who make it through the next two rounds and beyond.

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

mikess says:
what are peoples opinions on a BAE downgrade?
taiwo, evans, cahill once luiz has his inevatible howler…
January 26 at 10:41 am
King Cabbage says:
BAE for this GW for sure, but out for GW24 could be a decent option.
January 26 at 10:42 am
mikess says:
yea definately. 1st choice defender for me this week
January 26 at 10:43 am
Tentative says:
Get Caulker or McAuley or another City defender if it’s possible.I would rather wait and watch for in the case of Cahill.
January 26 at 10:44 am
Tentative says:
I meant for the future weeks.
January 26 at 10:46 am
mikess says:
had caulker, dropped him, as i kept vorm in my wc, so i could play with defensive rotation. trust man c doubling tho. might have some funds for komp, maybe lescott if i struggle
January 26 at 10:48 am
silence says:
I just don’t rate the guy… wouldn’t surprise me if Spurs let in one against Wigan – but would keep for that match
January 26 at 10:51 am
Doosra says:
I’m not sure – he is one of my favourite players at the moment. Trying to bring Clichy in, but perhaps may not, or may replace Shawcross.
January 26 at 10:53 am
mikess says:
clichy interests me
January 26 at 10:57 am
Doosra says:
Plenty of crosses, strange that none have been converted …
January 26 at 10:58 am
Ginkapo says:
Because we all know Kolarov is a better player………
January 26 at 11:00 am
Doosra says:
Do we? I, for one, certainly don’t agree with that.
January 26 at 11:03 am
Ginkapo says:
But hes beautiful!
January 26 at 10:58 am
silence says:
maybe City players don’t like him
January 26 at 11:00 am
Doosra says:
That’s entirely possible.
January 26 at 11:02 am
silence says:
not yet accepted in the gang… still going through the initiation process…
January 26 at 11:07 am
Now back to me says:
Clichy put a lot of crosses in for Arsenal aswell, problem was, they were all aimless, he couldn’t cross then and he can’t cross now! I wouldn’t get your hopes up for an assist.
January 26 at 11:08 am
Jack(off)Attack. says:
This.
I could put plenty of crosses in, means nothing when they’re crap.
January 26 at 10:59 am
thetinkerman says:
I’m on WC and originally planned to drop for Caulker since I downgraded Vorm but I’ve since changed my tune.
I got BAE in when he was £5.2m. The way I see it is Simpson and BAE have a mixed bag of fixtures yet rotate perfectly. Spurs are one of the best defensive teams and he is a steal if they can keep their defensive form, especially from GW28 onwards.
Then again, I’m going with Dzeko over Aguero so I can afford the extra £1.5m.
January 26 at 11:02 am
mikess says:
interesting as i have williamson. will check it out
January 26 at 11:11 am
Now back to me says:
Yep, i’ve noticed that aswell, i am going for Kaboul and Williamson.

Count Of Monte Hristo says:
Thoughts on Oxelade-Chamberlain. For £5.7m he could be a great shout.
January 26 at 10:46 am
silence says:
He would be but however be prepared to get disappointed with Wenger’s meddling…
January 26 at 10:49 am
Tentative says:
I need more starts to get convinced.
January 26 at 10:52 am
Attila the Bum says:
Could be, but as I said on the last page when Gervinho comes back there will a helluva lottery for who starts out of Gervinho, Walcott and Ox.
January 26 at 10:56 am
Count Of Monte Hristo says:
Yeah very true.
January 26 at 11:09 am
jkisthe1 says:
I may take a 1 week punt on him before wc, if he plays he could tear Bolton apart.
January 26 at 11:11 am
Attila the Bum says:
Good shout. Might look at that myself.
January 26 at 11:12 am
Now back to me says:
Problem with that is we won’t know the Arsenal team before the deadline. If he starts in the FA Cup, i think he will be on the bench for Bolton.
January 26 at 10:59 am
Test Eagles says:
He looked well sharp the other night… only problem is the competition for game time! Wringer would be mad not to give him another crack after his game against Man U. If he played every week he’d be in without a shadow of a doubt
January 26 at 11:10 am
1mills says:
I think he’ll be rotation risk for most weeks at best, especially when Gervinho is back.
January 26 at 10:48 am
Fred the Red says:
From OptaJoe on Twitter: “219 – Since the start of last season, Clint Dempsey is the only player to have hit more than 200 shots in the Premier League. Deuce.”

Dempsey is coming together – definitely his best season so far
January 26 at 10:49 am

Another reason to get him if you don’t have him already.

chic14 says:
WC to do, thoughts appreciated!
Vorm Westwood
Jones, Walker, Warnock, Huth, Young
Bale, Nani, Silva, Sess, Johnson
RVP, Sturridge, Helguson
Thinking Westwood>Mig, Huth>Cahill, Johnson>McClean and Nani>Dempsey at the moment…
January 26 at 10:53 am
McTown says:
jones to evans, may as well
January 26 at 10:54 am
silence says:
Even before I had a look at the rest of the team…
Westwood???
January 26 at 10:56 am
chic14 says:
Agreed! Was hoping Vorm would carry me through, always find reserve GK is the last for consideration in the transfer market.
January 26 at 11:00 am
silence says:
why don’t you just go for the cheapest in the market? or is he the cheapest~?
January 26 at 11:02 am
chic14 says:
Mig is very cheap (4.3) and has a good run (and I have more confidence in that defence now O’Neill’s in charge)…..
January 26 at 11:03 am
silence says:
there’s something about O’Neill isn’t there… class
January 26 at 10:55 am
Tentative says:
I don’t know yet whether Jones is fit.QPR’s clean-sheets are few and far between.Tottenham’s fixtures are unfavorable.You need to sort out your defensive line first.
January 26 at 10:54 am
keith says:
Walters or Sess for next few weeks? Walters has much better fixtures but Sess clearly on form What do people think?
January 26 at 10:55 am
silence says:
Sess – would never pick Walters (not a good principal to have in FF! but…) – don’t rate him or Stoke
January 26 at 10:55 am

I’m keeping Sess for this week then transferring for Walters based on fixtures…

Walters.

Anyone care to share their thoughts on Demba Cisse and how his partnering with Demba Ba will impact FPL outputs?

Careful…
January 26 at 11:02 am
keotes says:
Careful?
January 26 at 11:05 am
Attila the Bum says:
Watch and see I suppose, both have great scoring records – it could be another Ferdinand/Shearer combo or it could be a disaster. No one knows until they play a few.
Cisse might not get chucked straight in anyway, he’s new to both England and the Premier League so depends how quick he adapts.
January 26 at 11:06 am
jkisthe1 says:
Atilla, isn’t Tiote Senegalese?
January 26 at 11:09 am
Attila the Bum says:
Nope, Ivory Coast. I imagine they’ll be there a while yet unfortunately.
January 26 at 11:10 am
jkisthe1 says:
oh well, my bad, yeah I agree on that
January 26 at 11:07 am
nomar says:
I have no qualms bringing Ba into my team once he returns from the ACON, Attila.
January 26 at 11:10 am
Attila the Bum says:
At most he might miss one match as a break, that’s about it. He’s in my side I reckon.
January 26 at 11:11 am
jkisthe1 says:
same here, but like I said, GW26 might the week for him.
January 26 at 11:05 am
Tentative says:
Newcastle look pretty good offensively when Ba plays and Cisse alongside would become more effective but for us it means sharing the goals.
January 26 at 11:10 am
Jack(off)Attack. says:
Apparently Ba won’t play much now
January 26 at 11:13 am
keotes says:
Lol…. let me guess… you’ll be bringing Ba in in GW24…
January 26 at 11:18 am
Jack(off)Attack. says:
Depends on Sturridge.
January 26 at 11:16 am
Tentative says:
He would but his haul of points might get diminished.
January 26 at 11:00 am
nomar says:
Ok pop pickers.
WC’ing this week.
Have had Vorm since day 1. Currently got Vorm and Krul but wondering whether Lindegaard and Krul would be a better combo. Newcastle appear to still be clean sheet worthy but I worry whether Lindegaard is now the regular first choice (he should be-Donut thief sucks)
Thoughts?
January 26 at 11:02 am
tosey says:
i havent looked at the rotations as went for hart lindegaard
i did get rid of vorm tho, really dont expect swansea to keep up their impressive form from teh first half of teh season
January 26 at 11:06 am
nomar says:
That is a nice combo, Tosey.
Made £0.6m on Vorm but think a move to Lindegaard may be the right thing to do now. Swans defence in itself isn’t actually that great imo, its been Vorm making them look better than they are most of the time.
January 26 at 11:07 am
mikess says:
i have lindegaard and vorm. admitingly it doesnt rotate great but theres always a reasoning behind picking one each week. if lind keeps his spot then bargain. i do feel swansea are a better unit than newc

Hybrid.power - Stop SOPA Ireland! says:
Haven’t checked the site in a couple of days. Just saw the tweet on Senegal getting knocked out of ACON. What are the chances of Ba playing next gameweek, realistically?
January 26 at 11:07 am

90% I would say.
January 26 at 11:18 am

Their final game is on the 29th against Libya.

Tha’ts a 3 day gap. Back for Villa IMO unless im missing something.

Senegal’s got a game against Libya yet, then I’d expect him to be rested for a week.

Any opinions on going for all 3 big citeh guns Kompany, Silva and Aguero in my WC team?
January 26 at 11:02 am
King Cabbage says:
It’s the 3 I’m thinking of.
January 26 at 11:03 am
Tentative says:
Dzeko in place of Aguero.
January 26 at 11:04 am
Ginkapo says:
I thought everyone but Doosra was going for the 3 big city guns. Just the definition of who are the 3 big guns differs.
January 26 at 11:04 am
Test Eagles says:
Do it… they’ll rack up seriously big points in the next 2 months.
Wouldn’t consider Tevez?
January 26 at 11:04 am
Fred the Red says:
+1
I have Richards instead of Kompany but only because I’d swapped when Kompany got the ban.
January 26 at 11:08 am
nomar says:
Same here.
Going with Richards, Silva and Dzeko as my 3.
January 26 at 11:05 am
jkisthe1 says:
well I’m having Richards not Komps, but I think it’s worth it for GWs 24-27, Aguero has Fulham, Blackburn and Bolton at home, he should score huge, and will be a major captain choice.
January 26 at 11:06 am
Hiphopopotamus says:
If you can afford it – go for it. I’m probably swapping Aguero for Silva in a coulple of weeks but only because i want The Yak and Ba back in my team and need the slot.

Any Villa fans out there who could enlighten us as to where Clarke is playing each week? Is he a true goal threat?

He was DM last week, not a villa fan so thats all I know
January 26 at 11:18 am
Brynny says:
Started left back with Warnock being dropped against Wolves. Didnt look comfy against Jarvis and was moved into centre mid, where i helped set up a Keane goal.
I’d expect Warnock to come back into the side at left back meaning Clark is likely to partner Petrov in the centre of midfield.
January 26 at 11:19 am
Brynny says:
*he helped* – i’m not Ciaran Clark!

January 26 at 11:09 am
keith says:
Interested that almost all the WC teams have Aguero based obviously on fixtures, but his output over the last few weeks has been poor and have already been burned once this season with Dzeko so not sure which way to go?
January 26 at 11:13 am
Tentative says:
Getting Dzeko and spending the extra cash elsewhere would be a wiser option I reckon.
January 26 at 11:14 am
nomar says:
Thats what I’m doing.
January 26 at 11:19 am
Tentative says:
Your team certainly needs that extra cash to propel you up the rankings once again I believe.

January 26 at 11:20 am
Qubit says:
Take your pick, both are notorious for it, but Nadal is the worst. Advice from the stands from ‘Uncle Toni’, delaying tactics with his serving, mysterious injuries that come and go. Can’t stand the bloke. Reminds me of Michael Schumacher.
January 26 at 11:38 am
hvsauce says:
none of his injuries are mysterious – knee, shoulder knocks are fairly common for someone who has his style of play. most importantly, he almost never uses it as an excuse for his losses. and surely he’d be called out on “delaying tactics” or “cheating” more often by the chair or his peers if it occurred as frequently as you suggest. I always look to what a player’s biggest rival thinks of him and Fed has the utmost respect for Rafa (and vice-versa). I challenge you to find a more humble player of his stature.

Buzsaky people? Talk to me.
Started both of the games under the new manager, ICT stats are promising, worth having for QPR’s nice run? If you were to include a member of QPR who would you pick and why?
January 26 at 11:15 am
keotes says:
I like the look of him and his set pieces are awesome. I do worry about QPR going through a huge transition at the moment with new players coming in. Buzsaky should be good for at least a few weeks, esp if he keeps his form up…
January 26 at 11:18 am
nomar says:
A the moment I’ve got Helguson as he’s most likely to score for us.
This is just a feeling, but I reckon Buzsacky is going to thrive under Hughes and take over from Taarabt as our creative midfielder. He trains hard, something Taarabt is notorious for not doing.
At £4.4m he frees up a lot of cash and can sit on your bench easily enough if he’s not playing. If you want a cheap 5h mid then he’s worth a punt.
January 26 at 11:24 am
JimmyDeemo - Sir Puntalot says:
Thanks for the info Nomar, tbh i’m not sure who I want from QPR but I know I want someone.
If he gets starts then that’s all I’m really after.
January 26 at 11:13 am
nomar says:
Nedum Onouha is now a QPR player.
4 1/2 yr deal.
£4.6m on FPL folks.
January 26 at 11:15 am
silence says:
thanks dude!
January 26 at 11:16 am
JimmyDeemo - Sir Puntalot says:
Tempted. Decent defender IMO. Can we see him coming straight in?
January 26 at 11:16 am
Attila the Bum says:
Good signing, a very good player. Absolutely mental wages though if the rumours are right (apx £80k pw) – no wonder you didnt have much competition for him.
Tempting for FPL, will have a think.
January 26 at 11:22 am
nomar says:
Nowhere near that amount, Attila. He wasn’t on that much at City so why would we pay him £20k more?
My hearing is its nearer the £40k+ region.
Helluva player there. Think he’ll start in Central Defence but Hughes has said he needs to get his fitness up so may well have a few sub appearances first.
If we can get Diakite today then we won’t ever have to use Hill and Derry unless its a dire emergency from now on.
January 26 at 11:27 am
Attila the Bum says:
In that case its a cracking deal. I really rate him, criminally underused at City.
Not seen much of Diakite, he’s a defensive mid isnt he?
January 26 at 11:43 am
nomar says:
Yep.
Bye bye Sean Derry if he signs.
January 26 at 11:17 am
1mills says:
Hmm I’m interested in Onouha.
I always thought he was a decent player and was surprised City had him so far off the team.
January 26 at 11:22 am

Looks a very good prospect for GWs 24 and 25.
January 26 at 11:22 am

Not wildcarding yet and pretty damned close to the bone in terms of prices for the team I want.
January 26 at 11:23 am

Yeah, glad i didn’t w/c this week – not a lot of money to be made.
January 26 at 11:30 am
nomar says:
This wasn’t a wildcard to make money on for me.
It was all about improving my team and avoiding the red flag slide ride I was on.
Next GW deadline is only 4 days long I think so hardly a chance to make money there either. Plus WC’ing this week covered me in case a rash of injuries from the FA Cup games occurred.
January 26 at 11:24 am

Don’t think Dzeko-Aguero (ESPECIALLY for a hit) was necessary, but for your sake hope Dzeko scores a couple of couples to profit on the hit!

Fred the Red says:
*couple of goals!

teamtalk aswell, unsure how concrete they are tho
January 26 at 11:33 am
Test Eagles says:
QPR are “interested” in Moses… I’m “interested” in Anne Hathaway as catwoman but unlikely I’ll land it.
Damn hype!!
January 26 at 11:47 am
nomar says:
Nothing concrete but apparently Hughes is an admirer.
Not sure Wigan will sell and I think we should be looking at getting another striker once we get Diakite in.
There’s talk of us going for Rodallega. Not sure I really rate him to be honest.
January 26 at 11:34 am
Fratboy - BIGGEST UNDER-ACHIEVER says:
Still no big transfers this window yet, all the big players seem happy at the moment
January 26 at 11:37 am
elninorules needs a funky WC idea for GW24-28. Speak to me! says:
Funny though. The Top 6 clubs except Tottenham & City aren’t flying in the PL at the moment. I thought they’d be a tad more ambitious if they want to challenge for the title. Okay I know Torres was #epicfail, but still Carlo sent an open statement to SAF last Jan that he was going for the title.
January 26 at 11:46 am
Fratboy - BIGGEST UNDER-ACHIEVER says:
Who’s Carlo? I can’t remember any challenge for the title last season?

Not really. Hernandez out of favor, Nani/Vidic/Jones/Young/Clev injured, Pig unable to run more than a yard. You might as well walkover, methinks
January 26 at 11:25 am
Now back to me says:
Where has Buzsaky been playing for QPR? Team news has him in CM. One to avoid now they have signed Diakite?
January 26 at 11:26 am
JimmyDeemo - Sir Puntalot says:
See my post above.
January 26 at 11:30 am
Now back to me says:
Cheers. Yeah he is in my WC team at the moment, concerned about all these new signings and the eventual return of Taarabt though.
January 26 at 11:38 am
McTown says:
whats up with taarabt atm? remember how i was sure he was the new adam at the beginning if the year…
January 26 at 11:41 am
nomar says:
Buzsacky is more of an attacking midfielder. Diakite would oust Derry (thank goodness).
I get the feeling Taarabt might not last under Hughes. The players in immediate danger I believe will be Derry, Hill and Mackie.
At the moment I’d say it would probably be a MF of Buzsacky, Diakite, Barton, SWP (assuming Diakite signs).
I just have a bad feeling for Taarabt, of his own making really, that he is a lazy trainer and that’s the worst thing you can bring to the table if you’re in a Mark Hughes team. Hughes has a tough training regimen whereas Warnock’s ‘training’ sessions were a laugher.
Taarabt used to turn up late and not train hard. You think he’ll get away with that now? Or will be prepared to train hard now?
January 26 at 11:45 am
Now back to me says:
Hughes doesn’t strike me as one of those managers who won’t take any shit from their players. He persisted with Robinho despite several lazy and ineffective performances just becasue of his obvious potential. I think he will do the same with Taarabt, at least, to begin with.
January 26 at 11:49 am
nomar says:
Good point.
Still think Taarabt needs to get fitter and buck up his ideas though. If he can get the best out of Taarabt then all well and good as he’ll have a terrific talent on his hands.
January 26 at 11:28 am
DV8R says:
If Ba is available to play against Blackburn then I’m getting him in.
But will need a replacement for Ben Arfa as I’ll have 4 Newcastle players…Sooo
Any suggestions for a 5.7 or more midfielder?
January 26 at 11:34 am
Fred the Red says:
Since you’ll have an undroppable front 7of8, get Moses or Dyer or Allen
January 26 at 11:35 am
McTown says:
Need help with welbeck v zamora for a sturridge replacment. Saw comments above about potential rot risk with tough games for welbeck, and zamora has a few easier games. leaning to zamora but thoughts would be helped to ease my decison. cheers.

Team linked.
January 26 at 11:40 am
Test Eagles says:
I’ve gone with Zamora AND Dempsey, reckon they’re hitting their straps and have a great run of fixtures.
January 26 at 11:43 am
McTown says:
my thoughts too, think its time i let the disaster that was sturridge go… but should i be worried with no utd attack?
January 26 at 11:47 am
Now back to me says:
They are still Fulham though.
January 26 at 11:48 am
McTown says:
you dont reckon they will keep it up?
January 26 at 11:50 am
nomar says:
No.
They still have problems scoring away from home. I think have one or the other but not both. Having 2 Fulham players is OK as long as one of them is Senderos.
January 26 at 11:53 am
Now back to me says:
Yeah i have Senderos, but am doubting his potential, 4 cleansheets in 14! They just aren’t as tight under Jol, some people are doubling up on Fulham defenders! With that stat, is he really worth the extra .4 on Kelly?
January 26 at 11:57 am
McTown says:
securer tho, heard some rumblings about kelly getting dropped so stumped for senderos
January 26 at 11:59 am
Now back to me says:
4 CS at home all season.
January 26 at 12:04 pm
thetinkerman says:
If they both start then Kelly is far better value as their attacking stats are similar.
Kelly looks more likely to be rotated so I’m going for Senderos. Not saying he will be…
January 26 at 11:56 am
McTown says:
im sorted then
January 26 at 11:51 am
Now back to me says:
They have been hugely inconsistent all season. Hard to predict where the points will come. Zamora is enough attacking cover for me.
January 26 at 11:53 am
Fratboy - BIGGEST UNDER-ACHIEVER says:
I actually quite like the Zamora and Dempsey double up. Could easily come off, just don’t expect for much away from Craven Cottage.
January 26 at 11:57 am
Test Eagles says:
Dead right. Got Zamora and Cabaye rotating quite nicely
January 26 at 11:53 am
Test Eagles says:
True… gotta bank on them having turned the corner, they’ve knocked of Arsenal and Newcastle in the last two games, that’s a side in form?
January 26 at 11:56 am
Now back to me says:
They also got beaten by 10 man Blackburn.
