Chelsea are reportedly locked in talks regarding the scheduling of their FA Cup fourth round replay with Everton following the 1-1 at Goodison Park on Saturday. There are currently two options which Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, the FA and the Premier League are discussing. Both solutions cause issues for us Fantasy Managers.

The first of these would be to stage the replay on February 15 which would prompt Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Fulham on Monday February 14 to be rescheduled, almost definitely back into the weekend on the Saturday or Sunday but a further postponement and a blank gameweek 27 for the two clubs isn’t entirely out of the question.

The second, and most likely solution, would be to hold the fourth round replay on February 19, which is also the same day as the fifth round of the competition. If Chelsea beat Everton on this date, then their fifth round tie against Reading will take place on March 1 or 2, meaning that the Premier League clash with Manchester United in Gameweek 28 would be postponed. This seems the most probable outcome with the BBC website already listing it on this day, Everton’s official site shows it as TBC, while in Chelsea‘s official post-match report from Saturday they say…

“…and so it is back to the Bridge, likely to be on Saturday, February 19.â€

In the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, a Chelsea Gameweek (either GW27 or GW28) could possibly be blanked with Fulham or Manchester United also set to miss out. It’s the United fixture which looks the most probable to go, as long as Chelsea are victorious in their replay of course. That would leave Chelsea with a blank in Gameweek 28 and United with just one fixture – away at Wigan.

This is a poser for us; a potential nightmare for the Premier League. If the Chelsea vs United game on March 1 is rearranged then the next possible slot for it would be at the end of the season in May, due to an already hectic schedule, bogged-down by Champion’s League fixtures. The two sides already have a fixture on May 7 at Old Trafford, and the next obvious slot would be the following midweek. This would set up a potentially decisive couple of days if, as expected, the two sides are still fighting it out come the end of the season. In FPL terms we could find ourselves with a Man United and Chelsea (double) Double Gameweek on GW 36; a mind boggling scenario which could ultimately prove decisive in our Fantasy seasons.

In the short term, the prospect of a blank for Chelsea doesn’t bode well for Fantasy Managers; it’s a major frustration given Fernando Torres’s recent arrival and the signs that Frank Lampard is back to his best following his 12 FPL point haul last night. Chelsea remain a highly owned team with Ashley Cole (26.6%), Florent Malouda (24.6%), Didier Drogba (22.3%) John Terry (14.9%) and Petr Cech (9.4%) all darlings of the game. This complicated situation could also hinder those Fantasy Managers with United and Fulham players in their ranks of course.

We can only await an official announcement.

    everyone moaning about cup replays annoys me

    there's more to footy than just the premiership

    if we scrap replays then where are the likes of exeter, notts county and other lower league teams that have benefitted from them going to make their money in the future?

    calls to scrap replays are mad and would just result in more teams going the same way as chester (if you dont know about the chester story google it)

            so you would know that a number of utd fans now go and watch fc utd in the lower leagues

            you will also know that ferguson likes to send alot of his players out on loan to lower league clubs to get experience and see how good they really are, beckham springs to mind

              I do but I'm opposed to that shower FC United.

              Good point about loan players but if there was just one other league apart from the PL they could go there- that could be the purpose of the league.

                so what about the fans of the lower league clubs, i suppose they should just sit in their armchairs allday and 'support' man utd and liverpool?

                  I would say to a Stockport County fan, stop being a loser and support your nearest big team (of which he'd still be in the area). He'd have a choice of United, City, Bolton may even stretch to Blackburn.

                  Of course I believe it. Blackburn won the PL in 95, now they struggle to seat large sections of the stadium.

                  If all them lower league teams' fans were not such posers watching 'real football' (lol) Ewood, Reebok and Hawthorns would be bursting.

                  This would mean more money for the clubs and more investment leading to greater quality.

                  Just LOOK FOR YOURSELF at the American system HS, College then pro. All 32 NFL teams seat 90,000 every damn week.

                    Don't you understand that the vast majority of football fans love their team much more than they want to improve the quality of the national side?

                    I'm a neutral myself and very rarely watch any lower league than the Premier League, but surely it's not up to anyone else than the fans themselves to decide which team they support?

        In USA there is NBA, NFL, MLB they would never waste their time watching crappy division 1 team- they'll watch only the best !

        Per polulation there are just so many teams and leagues, the pool of players is so diluted, you can get a spot in Division 2 and make a comfortable living.

        This as opposed to desperately trying to improve to get a very limited spot in the team- like in the USA.

                  You are being obtuse then...

                  His point is very apt, even more so that the countryis an island. It is fair to point out that you would rather have the biggest game in town/area be the one filled to capacity. But this will never be a reality due to the fact that the age groups that watch either league is so wide and the volatility of the relegation regime. In other words, old farts who team used to be in the upper league years ago are loyal. There's nothing you can do to change that.

The format of futbol itself makes it ripe for over exploitation. And something has to be made of his underlying point that speaks to your league and their quest for more money, puts it players not in the best position to be overpowering in the world stage.

      I agree we should keep cup replays, and I'll take 'real' football over FPL. I think the main problem here is that the FA have stuck and England friendly in the midweek slot where the 4th round replays should have been. The words 'pi$$ up' and 'brewery' spring to mind.

      I think games need to be removed, there are too many games for the players to handle as it is.

      There is no need real for games to be replayed, it's just a tradition.

      If a low level team can't survive because they don't get the income from a game they MIGHT get to play if they DRAW a certain fixture it's their own fault.

          I think they should be removed too, the CL group stage is a complete joke.

          It should be noted that another reason of players getting fatigued is the incredible tempo of the modern game. Only 10 years ago it was slower.

                  UEFA changed the format of the CL to stop this breakaway. It was either that, or a Champions League with no Milan, Inter, Real, Barca, Man Utd, Liverpool (OK, bad example 😉 ) etc.

        Nani is a baby:
        - He does not seem very motivated to play hard
        - If Man U continue to pull away throughout the rest of the season I can see him playing very lazy
        - Other cheaper options like Downing & Young could get just as many points or maybe even more

    Doubling on Everton defence?

    From my memory, as few seasons before, they would have good streaks around mid season.

    This coincides with fairly good fixtures for coming 8-9 GW's.
    Judging by performance against Chelsea and Arsenal, you could see them being more organised and more tight at the back.

    And this happens without Jagielka starting (may start next GW).
    Major influence for their defence last year.

    I maybe going for Howard, Coleman and Cahill starting from GW 26.
    Anyone considering similar moves?

                    Interesting, I was happy enough to get rid of Berbatov as their fixtures are tough enough but wanted to keep Nani.
                    Any interesting little moves planned? Bent? Saha? Doubling up anywhere? Or are you going to play it relatively safe?

                    Well I've a few tricks played that may do alright. Doubling on Howard and Coleman being one of them.
                    Thankfully NONE of my rivals above or immediately around me in my private league have Fabregas - so he is a cracking differential for me.
                    Good luck with it anyway

          The 10 Yellows goes on until the second Sunday in April apparently so he is guaranteed to miss 2 games. If he happened to get 2 yellows in a game I presume it would be the 2 game ban and one more for the red.

          Well I'm not in or from Newcastle I'm afraid to say.
          Judging by twitter etc and all that he should be fine. There is a helluva lot of confusion though, he says he was pushed - the club are adamant that after they rejected the second offer (£35m) he came in and demanded a meeting, said he spoke to Liverpool and they offered him £85k per week - he wanted a new contract now to match. The club said they would renegotiate his contract in the summer (bear in mind he only signed a new one a couple of months ago) but he rejected the delay and handed in a transfer request.
          I actually sort of believe the clubs version more for a change, but the vast majority don't and its another Mike Ashley is a c*nt saga.
