It’s a funny old week in fantasy football with the gameweek in the Fantasy Premier League game starting this Saturday, even though the bulk of the games won’t be played until Tuesday and Wednesday. That’s meant I’ve put together a first pass at the team news for you, although this will be updated in full after this weekend’s cup action for those playing other fantasy games.
If you’re playing the FPL game then, you’re risking players getting injured over the weekend and you could also be a victim of rest and rotation. With that in mind, you might want to consider players from those clubs not taking part in Cup action.: Villa, Blackburn, Sunderland, Birmingham, Bolton, Fulham, Everton and West Ham have no FA Cup commitments before their Premiership fixtures.
My current player rankings were updated last night and I’ll be going over these one more time later this evening before naming my Scout Picks in time for the FPL gameweek deadline.
