Frisking the Fixtures

Double Gameweek 21 announced for West Ham, Brentford and Everton

The news that Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers were waiting for – or part of it, at least – finally arrived on Friday, with the confirmation that we are to get a Double Gameweek 21.

West Ham United, Everton and Brentford are the three teams who will get a Double Gameweek, 16 teams will have a single Gameweek and Newcastle United will be without a fixture altogether.

A total of 22 postponed Premier League fixtures were outstanding before today’s announcement (18 due to Covid-19, one thanks to inclement weather and three future matches due to clashes with the Club World Cup and EFL Cup final) with three of them now rearranged for Double Gameweek 21.

The additional fixtures in Gameweek 21 are:

  • Southampton v Brentford
  • Everton v Leicester
  • West Ham v Norwich

It’s at this point where we bring up the dreaded C-word again: coronavirus. It goes without saying that the fixtures below are the mercy of the ongoing pandemic, so doubles could easily become singles or blanks in an instant.

We’ll have more coverage of the Double Gameweeks in the coming hours and days, while we’ve set up a Hot Topic to gauge your reactions here.

    Mount & King to DCL & doucoure -4?

    1. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Might want to see some form from DCL first, although it could be a great early move. Antonio or Toney if you're looking for DGWers

      1. Toby Lerone
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Got Antonio. Toney could be decent

  2. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on the below please for a -8 or for a -4.

    A. Martinelli > Gray
    B. Ronaldo > DCL

    Thanks, bottomed from previous pos.

    1. C_G
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I am also thinking exact same moves for -8. Will do martinelli to gray for sure. Pondering over cr7 move

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah tough one regarding Ronaldo > DCL.

        Also is gray 100% confirmed starting, he seems to have vanshed from any team news.

    3. huwwilliams_
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      wouldnt take a -4 for B. DCL been out for so long can't expect him to score heavily with such lack of match fitness

  3. C_G
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    pick one:

    A) Laca + Saka ---> DCL + Bowen (-4)

    B) Saka + Bilva ---> Bowen + Gray/Doucoure(-4)

    C) Bilva ---> Bowen (FT)

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      C

  4. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A) Mount > Son

    B) Mount > Gray

    C) Locaida > Antonio

    1. C_G
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      C

    2. DangerFC
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      C

    3. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Only thing I don't like about C is it makes getting Salah back difficult. My ML leader has him which makes me terrified

    4. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I could never condone the Mounting of Son …. So C

  5. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Should I go for DCL or Toney?

    1. C_G
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      not sold on Toney

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Toney

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If bringing a forward in this GW, that isn't Antonio, I'd punt DCL.

      I quite like it, Sterling could be better vs Arsenal as he's very likely to start and has higher goal threat. Go with your gut with the DGWs but don't be disappointed if you get a Duffy like week. I'd be tempted to still go for Cancelo and Trent as they have a higher ceiling compared to Keane and Janssen despite a tough single GW.

        ive actually got a big h2h and rival has already played fh1,that is my priority ,i like the sterling idea ,cheers mate

  7. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    worth a -8? will FH 22

    James + Gallagher + King -> Reguilon + Bowen + Antonio

    have been taking so many hits lately.

  8. GE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    1) Bilva and James -> Son and Max 5.4 def (who?) (-4)
    2) Brownhill -> Benrahma
    3) Other?

    (1FT, 2.4 itb)

    Ramsdale
    TAA/Cancelo/Dias/Reguilon
    Jota/Mount/Bowen
    Ronaldo/Antonio/Broja

    Bench: Bachmann, Bilva, James*, Brownhill*

    1. DangerFC
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Your setup nicely now do brownhill this week and offload James next week.

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Benrahma off for Africa I saw now…maybe 1) then?

  9. DangerFC
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bowen and Antonio worth. -8.

    Yes or no

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Only problem is if Norwich game was then called off. That would suck

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Leaning towards no but need to look into Antonio's stats more to see if anything has actually changed since his run of poor form.

  10. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Can't see the need of free hit or too much point hit. Poor fixtures except west ham. No need to change the shape of the team. For me, its bowen, Antonio, toney.

  11. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    James and Bernardo to
    Diop and Son or Bowen?

    Have Antonio too.

  12. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Regulion
    Son Jota Maddison Bowen Saka
    Ronaldo King

    Steel Livramento Gerhardt Alonso

    A) [-4] Gerhardt > Antonio, bench King
    B) [-4] Gerhardt > Antonio, bench Saka
    C) [-4] King > Antonio
    D) [-8] Gerhardt/Saka > Antonio/Gray, bench King
    E) [-8] King/Saka > Antonio/Gray

    Main reason for keeping Gerhardt is that it makes getting Salah back soon easier, but may be deadweight soon. Though King likely DGW soon. Less turned off by -8 due to long term fixtures for Saka.

    Can survive if CHE/LIV gets pospotoned now funnily enough too!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A or C

      Do C if that's your plan for Salah.

  13. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Watkins>Toney worth a -4?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No imo

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

  14. Tomsk
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Lanzini on penalties for West ham(assuming no Noble) and pretty nailed at moment with Fornals out. Is he good option?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Is he on pens?

      1. Tomsk
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        He took first half pen against Chelsea with Rice and Antonio on pitch so I guess so.

  15. rokonto
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Wanted to ditch Toney..... Now what!?

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      ez hold

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Start!

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Hold

  16. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is cr7 to dcl worth the hit?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Could be gold

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No guts no glory

  17. Dammit_182

    Literally came out from watching the matrix in the cinema, turn my phone on and boom. FPL meltdown. Give me the blue pill.

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Have you invented a time travelling device?

      1. Dammit_182
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        No, but I have a cheat code; Bowen.

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      How was the movie?

      1. Dammit_182
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I’d recommend re-watching the first one then seeing it. It was fun, matrix ish and had. Eli Patrick Harris…but for me tried to do A lot in one film and felt like it had been just that but too long to have made it.

  18. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A)Saka to Gray (bench Foden/Jota)
    B)James to Coufal/Regullion/Cash (Bench Laporte)
    Which option looks better?*

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B

  19. NotNowKato
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Cagey comments from Klopp, refusing to name the three new Covid cases.

    They couldn't be Kane, Salah and Keita could they? Meaning that they won't be able to travel to AFCON.....

    Surely not, Liverpool wouldn't do that... would they?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Alisson, Firmino & maybe Morton.

    2. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Kane has covid?

  20. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Out: Rudi, James, Bilva, Saka
    In: Cash, Bavies, Son, Bowen

    For -8, Yes or No?
    Thanks

      If no decent subs to come in in their place then looks OK to me

  21. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who to sell for Antonio

    A. Edouard
    B. Watkins
    C. Ronaldo
    D. None

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

  22. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best DGW 21ers to target, other than Ant & Bowen

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Gray, DCL, Coufal, Keane, Fabianski

    2. Fozzyb34r
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Gray, Toney, DCL are a few more options

  23. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Gallagher to Bowen on FT no brainer?
    James out for a hit for West Ham def? (-4)? (would mean i'm on triple west ham)

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

      1. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Which def?

        1. Eh, just one more thing ...
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Keane

          1. The Red Devil
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Woah

  24. fjb07
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is it worth getting Antonio (DGW) or Calvert Lewin (DGW) for Watkins .. for -4? And who to get .. Antonio or DCL?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Both

  25. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years

    Anyone considering punting on gray?

    1. JBG

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years

  26. Dammit_182
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Erm….there will be GW 22 fixtures too…then you can undo your - 8’s for Toney….

  27. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Still can WC and BB in 22.. I trust Ben, and West Ham players have Leeds in 22 which is better then most doublers anyway!

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Same goes for DCL/Gray who has Norwich that week.

  28. griffzinho

  29. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

  30. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
