The first of Gameweek 29’s postponed fixtures due to FA Cup involvement has now been rescheduled and, as expected, it’s dropped into a midweek slot on March 20.

Aston Villa have confirmed that their clash with Bolton, formerly set for Sunday March 17, has moved to Tuesday March 20. Although unconfirmed, this should see the fixture remain in the Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 29.

We now await confirmation of the rescheduling of the remaining fixtures postponed due to FA Cup ties. These include:

Everton vs Arsenal
Blackburn vs Sunderland
Stoke vs Tottenham
QPR vs Liverpool

The Man City vs Chelsea clash, currently scheduled for Monday March 19, is also in doubt, should Chelsea see off Birmingham in their FA Cup replay on March 6.

Tonight’s confirmation from Villa is surely a positive sign that would indicate that all these games will, once again, return to Gameweek 29. We will bring you confirmation, with out season tickers updated once the FPL update the Gameweek.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      My mini-league leader. Just got Warnock in actually. He came off the bench for him and got more than the rest of my defence put together.

        Aaahh Warnock, the man that I brought in on my winter Wildcard, and proceeded to get dropped, conceding two goals against Swansea's toothless attack on the road, scored a beauty of an own goal when he was subbed into my side, and then returned to the side and got a clean sheet the week I transferred him out for Bardsley, who has gone on to score me 0 points and an injury on his debut in my side.

        Bitter to say the least.

      There's still a chance the Merseyside derby could be scheduled for GW29 which would mean QPR and Arsenal would be left without a fixture.

    Could bring in Nani for Dempsey to have a front 3 of RvP, Balotelli, and Pogrebnyak?

    Vs. RvP, Rooney, Graham

    Or Yak > Pog as a 6mil option?

    Anyone looking at Adebayor for Aguero in GW29 instead of Rooney?

    I'm much more convinced by Ade's form, especially alongside Saha. Apart from his brace against Liverpool, Rooney only has 2 penalties and those dodgy assists to show for in months!

      Decent alternative. Rooney is still the prime United option for their easy run-in though so it's a tough choice. Going with both and RVP could turn out well

    Conversation from prev page:

    Villa are safe, save your money even if it is 12/1.

    I seriously doubt any of the bottom 5 get over 35 points this season. I reckon the team that finishes bottom will probably fail to get out of the 20's. Villa have enough points to be safe this season already.

    I'm afraid I think it's Wigan, Bolton and QPR for the drop. Much though it pains me to say it as a hoops fan.

      I like it, although, as I've posted above I think Adebayor could be the Spurs player of choice for the run-in, given how his and Bale's fortunes have changed with Saha in the line-up. Depends if he stays there though.

      A possible alternative would be to downgrade BAE, swap Rooney out for Ade and upgrade Yaya/Valencia/Bale to Silva/Nani

      I like Skrtel, Morrison and Pog/Cisse though

        After the failure against Arsenal, there's a chance Harry will revert back to the tried and tested formation that got them where they are. If this happens Ade might play second fiddle to Bale again.

        Thanks for the input mate.

        Yeah Ade leading the line for Spurs in such good fixtures is difficult to ignore. Bale & Ade is probably a bit much with so many striker options I guess.

        I really want Rooney in my team for those fixtures. Man United could run riot as they can't afford to slip up the way City keep winning.

      Like the team. Have you considered Friedel for Schwarzer and BAE for another Def? My logic:

      - Friedel is cheaper
      - Happy to start every game (maybe bar Chelsea)
      - Much easier to find rotating defenders

We are good friends most of the time and look out for each other, but there's always plenty of banter when it comes to sports especially football and in skiing which is big up here.

                  Thanks mate! You have good memory of us.That's great.

                  Denmark was great back then yes, although I never got to see them. Sweden in 94 was epic as well. In 98 we had a great team, Egil Olsen was often criticized by others for boring football but he had amazing results. We were ranked 2nd only to Brazil in the fifa rankings which was never wrong tbf, but it shows how many big teams we beat. He's actually back at the manager's seat atm and we have drawn a good group being one of the top seeds in Europe at the drawings unbelievably enough. I still hate Vieri for that goal! 😉

                  Denmark have a good team atm, they finished above Portugal in the qualification group, Norway came third behind them. They came in the group of death though and really need to outdo themselves to go through!

          I haven't either. He is a towering figure and no doubt has goals in him but I wouldn't expect him getting around 5 goals every season. Riise has been really close on some free kicks and bombs forward, maybe he's a better option.

      Kelly currently an injury doubt, apparently picked a a knock, so he misses the internationals, hopefully he'll be back by the wolves game.

      Hangeland was a great goal threat, massive CB in the box for set pieces, I haven't watched enough Fulham games this season to say for sure why, but a different manager looks to be giving him less licence going forwards

                I'm very sorry!!! 😥

                But:

                Triestina were founded in 1918 and took part in the first Serie A championship, remaining in the top flight for over two decades. Their best season came in 1948-49 when they finished joint second on 49 points together with Milan and Juventus. A return to paradise has eluded them since the 1959 but the club has seen many big names pass through, the greatest of whom is Nereo Rocco. Rocco both played and managed the club before going on to greater things at AC Milan. Rocco, one of Italy’s greatest managers, has been honoured by the club by naming the stadium after him.

                Despite this illustrious early history, the club is better-known nowadays for using unconventional methods to ‘fill’ their stadium. The club cover an entire stand in a tarpaulin with people painted onto it to create the impression of home support.

                You just have to giggle ... a little bit!

      A word of warning for those looking at Pogrebnyak: he's never been that prolific. 1 goal in 3.4 games has been his ratio in the last 5 years. But those home fixtures are tempting, and he's undoubtedly looking great at the moment.

      One quick question for my WC team: I have one last defender slot (covering MCI, MUN, LIV, TOT, NEW, SUN so far ...) - Kelly or Caulker for the last one?

      Might as well post my team for the upcoming GW:

      Krul
      Santon - Agger (if fit) - Verm (yellow flag)
      Silva - Bale - McClean - Dempsey
      Pog - Aguero - RVP

      Subs
      Vorm (yellow) - Moses - Senderos - Bardsley (yellow)

      I was thinking of getting rid of Verm even before he picked up his injury, is it worth taking a hit to get him out? Or wait and see which of he and Agger make it to the weekend without yellow/red flags? I have enough in the bank to afford any defender.

                    But also allows you to use another transfer elsewhere if you were going to do the move anyway. And it's 6 points if he cant field 3 Defs plus potential goal/assist/bonus.

                    Only taken 2 hits all season so not a massive fan, just think it may be a good idea here. Obviously wait for injury news.

                Yep, I was facing 3 yellow flags and a red flag (D Cisse) today, along with Senderos who didn't get on for Fulham, and while I didn't see the game or highlights, I noticed his replacement Hughes got 2 Bonus and they picked up a clean sheet without him, raising my doubts over his starting role. Also, Agger has a suspected broken rib, so I went Cisse > Pog to quench my thirst for transfers today.

                This is why I'm ranked 200-odd-K

              Surprise, surprise they're just moving the games to midweek, hopefully all the doom mongering can stop now.

                Some people seem to revel in a "crisis" eejits! i
                If they read the previous article about gw29 they would know this. Maybe they want other people to pick their team and do the reading for them!

              Posted on wrong thread:

              Thoughts on WBA Andrews? Played 2 weeks now, 10 points both times and only 4.5

                  Hmmm, fixtures hard, I was looking at olsson! Seems to be always attacking

                    Olsson could be an excellent shout at 4.5 in my opinion. I had him earlier in the season and it didn't go well for me but if they start keeping clean sheets and keep scoring this freely, he's the most likely defender to get goals/assists and I think he could be well worth a punt

                  Interesting. Worth a shout after the two tough fixtures if he continues to start.

                    This. Cheap 5th that plays and scores allows the rest of the team to be Hollywood... but this season I've been burnt with Dyer and the McClean points on the bench, something you have to take on the chin!

                  Yes scored the same amount of goals as Torres. Also he is a definite for the Euros unlike Torres.
                  So I think andrews value is at least 100m. He is a must 4.5m fpl player.

                  This makes young Miyachi look very viable as midfielder numero trois. Although a Bolton player at this stage of the season seems a bit risky. One to keep my eye on.
