Chelsea and Norwich set to be added to Double Gameweek 28

288 Comments

Double Gameweek 28 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) has a very good chance of being one match bigger – and, if it happens, will mean that Chelsea have two appealing fixtures within it.

The Premier League announced at Sunday lunchtime that the Gameweek 30 fixture between Norwich City and Chelsea will move to Thursday 10 March if either club progresses in the FA Cup fifth round this week.

Both clubs will ‘double’ in Gameweek 28 if that happens, with Chelsea away at Burnley and Norwich.

The Canaries will host Brentford before welcoming Thomas Tuchel’s side to Carrow Road.

The reason why there is a strong possibility of this happening is that, while Norwich face a daunting trip to Anfield in the FA Cup in midweek, Chelsea meet second-tier Luton Town.

Should Chelsea and/or Norwich make the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, of course, it means that the two sides will blank in Gameweek 30.

We’ve set up a Hot Topic here to gauge your reaction, and are running polls on Gameweek 28 captaincy and chip strategy on the sidebar of the home page.

    Repost due to new post:

    Was looking to WC this week.
    Tough environment to navigate with Chelsea assets not clear, also Wolves not offering much going forward.

    Zyiech and Thiago/Rudiger the pics considered now. Also not clear which keeper to choose, but I think a premium is not worth it.

    Sa - Foster
    Cancelo, Tierney, Coady, Robbo or Trent, ?
    Salah, JWP, Saka, Bowen, ?
    Kane, Broja, ?

    Who would you add where the ? are.

      T-Silva/Fabian Schär,Coutinho/Ramsey/Maddison, Jimenez/Weggy (If Southampton and Burnley play gw30). You need to keep in mind that most of your players will blank GW30. If you're not FH Gw30 then Bowen➡️Raphinha makes alot of sense.

      Agree, seems a tough time to wild card, but if your team needs it, then go for it. Your picks look good. I reckon rudiger best Chelsea defender for now (though maybe James once match fitness built up). I still think Ramsey a good midfield enabler. Martinelli better value than Saka? Willock (and Newcastle) hitting a bit of form too.

        Thanks! I am not sure anymore if I need to, but I had planned for it.
        I think Saka is marginally better than Martinelli all round.
        Rudiger I find not too much extra value compared to Silva.

      Bowen’s fixtures are about to turn bad.

      Maybe weghorst for 3rd def and Ramsey is a great 5th mid at 4.7

        A lot of Cancelo’s hauls have come against top opposition though. That’s what’s making me hesitate.

        Also not sure if Livra will play both, but would be annoyed if I took a hit and then he did. As they could get 1-2 cleanies

      Jota could be in the squad today

      I've considered Dennis to Vardy for -4 for this GW, but I can't justify it:

      Dennis 4 points from a blank. Vardy 2

      Leeds, the reason for the Vardy rush, have changed managers

      Sliiiiiight chance that Vardy doesn't start, even if fit. Daka and Nacho are there to rest him

      Jota supposedly in the squad for today, which will be a great sign, although he now has another serious competitor in Diaz.

      No clue on Vardy but there'd be worries on him playing twice in a week. Maddison or cheap KDH could be the way into Leicester. Or Kapser but they're awful defensively.

        James is the one but it seems it come too soon for him to play twice so close together. Then you'd also want him for NEW in 29, can't see him starting 3 in a week.

      Was unsure at first, as you’re taking hits to take out a couple of players who double in 29. But then I see that’s part of your plan to get saka in for gw29, so actually making a bit more sense now. I’m generally not keen on a -8, but if you fancy being a bit more high risk/high reward than me, then go for it! Should be a good BB.

    Difficult to fit Chelsea in without hits as means probably losing Arsenal defender with double in 29 and plays 30 or switching Robertson which then means losing playing week 30 midfielder for Jota in 29 ….. may just wait until 31
