We round up the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points of the day in FPL Daily, a weekday series that serves non-Premier League matchdays and days when we don’t bring you a team news/press conference round-up.

BLANK GAMEWEEK 30 LATEST

We have three more confirmed blanks in Gameweek 30 of Fantasy Premier League after Wednesday’s FA Cup fifth-round ties, bringing the current total to five.

Burnley v Southampton, Norwich City v Chelsea (more on that game in a bit) and Liverpool v Manchester United are all postponed, along with Manchester City v Brighton and Hove Albion and Crystal Palace v Newcastle United.

Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United will go ahead in Gameweek 30, however, along with Arsenal v Aston Villa, Leicester City v Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Leeds United.

We’re likely to have six fixtures off in Gameweek 30, as Everton would have to lose to non-league Boreham Wood on Thursday in order for their fixture against Watford to go ahead:

GAMEWEEK 28: NORWICH v CHELSEA SET TO BE ADDED

More FPL Gameweek 30 blanks confirmed as Chelsea get Double Gameweek 28 1

Double Gameweek 28 will now be one match bigger as a result of Chelsea progressing in the FA Cup tonight.

Norwich City v Chelsea – originally scheduled for Gameweek 30 – will now move to Thursday 10 March and the two clubs will now ‘double’ in Gameweek 28 as a consequence.

The Blues will be away at Burnley and Norwich, while the Canaries will host Brentford before welcoming Thomas Tuchel’s side to Carrow Road.

We’ve reset the ‘best captain’ poll results on the sidebar, with Chelsea assets now added.

The final Gameweek 28 picture looks like this (taken from our newly updated Season Ticker):

    Using my last FH chip this week, some big gains to be made... likely line up as below... HEAVY DEFENCE = BIG REWARDS?

    Sa
    Rudiger - James - ThiagoSilva - Saiss - Kilman
    Son - Salah - JWP
    Kane - Vardy

    Matthews - Ramsey - Richardson - Mendy

      Looks good but wouldnt double on Spurs, and is Vardy ready to start?

      Son out and concider Digne for one of the defenders, and then one Chelsea or Wolves attacker.

      What do you think of my free hit?

        Just replied on it mate. I don't really want to have Son but think Coutinho is a trap, stats are rubbish recently, might go without Kilman to then get Jimenez? Just means I'm gonna have loads of money left over which makes me worried thinking I need to spend it haha.

          Hehe I get it, but dont worry about the money!

          Yeah not sure on Coutinho but over two games against Sou and Leeds, all he needs is 1 assist to be worth it, he can come good!

          Jimenez havent looked that good, Im on Hwang out of the two, if I go a Wolves attacker at all.

    Pulled the trigger this week -

    Mendy Foster

    T Silva Coady Digne Trent Cancelo

    Saka Coutinho Salah Kulu Willock

    Kane Broja 4.5

    Play 5-4-1 then Digne to Tierney for GW 29.

    16K OR.

    Any advice appreciated folks! Cheers

    FH 28, any comments?

    James in 5-3-2 or Haverts in 4-4-2? (Would go Mount if he didnt play 74 + 90 min in 3 days)

    Who to captain?

    Im at this right now:

    Mendy
    Saiss Kilman Rudiger Digne
    Salah Raphina Coutinho Haverts

          I like it. I’m currently on this as my FH

          Mendy (Foster)
          Rudi-TAA-Coady-(Schär-Tsimikas)
          Salah-Couts-JWP-Willock-(Ramsey)
          Adams-Kane-Jimi

          But am considering changing formation to a 442 or 352, which would mean a couple of changes. What do you think?

            Not sure on Willock and Jimi, would change them for Raphina and another defender.
            I think its alot of good defenders this week so would at least go 4.

      Hwang seems a bit of a trap. I would always go with Sa over Mendy for save points potential etc and higher upside with the chelsea defenders. Christensen being injured means Thiago Silva is gonna be pretty nailed.

        yes Im not sure, but Hwang have looked really sharp, Jimi hasnt.

        I changed it a little:

        Sa
        James Rudiger Saiss Digne
        Salah Coutinho Raphina KWP Haverts
        Adams

        Would want another Wolves defender but dont know who to take out of the team.

          I'd just drop Digne if you are set on punting Havertz. Kane could easily double digit return in that everton game mind.

    Been tinkering with my wildcard and this is the best I can come up:

    Sa Pickford
    TAA James Digne Tierney RAN
    Salah Coutinho Raphinha Saka Martinelli
    Kane Jimenez Broja

    GW28:

    Sa
    TAA James Digne RAN
    Salah Coutinho Raphinha
    Kane Jimenez Broja

    Pickford; Saka, Martinelli, Tierney

    8 DGWs

    GW29:

    James -> Robertson

    Pickford
    TAA Robertson Tierney
    Salah Coutinho Raphinha Saka Martinelli
    Kane Broja

    Sa; Jimenez, Digne, RAN

    8 DGWs

    GW30:

    Coutinho -> Maddison

    Sa
    Tierney Digne RAN
    Maddison Raphinha Saka Martinelli
    Kane Jimenez

    10 GW30 players

    Feel free to roast my wildcard. Could get Willock and ASM instead of Coutinho and Broja to get 10 GW29 DGWs but probably not worth it.

    On draft would you rather bring in Willock or Havertz?

    Is this worth a WC?

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Cancelo, Rudiger
    Salah, Saka, Son, Raphina
    Jimi, Broja, Dennis

    DeGea, Bowen, White, Lamptey

    Desperate to the pull trigger but think it's Fomo.

    Could do Lamptey to Saiss/Kilman and maybe DeGea to Forster
