The 2021/22 Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League quarter-final and semi-final draws were made in Nyon, Switzerland last week.

As we have learned the hard way in the past, the latter stages of European competition could have a knock-on effect for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers regarding squad rotation in the top-flight.

Five Premier League sides are still involved in European action: Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, West Ham United and Leicester City.

With that in mind, we thought it was worth a look at the fixture schedule for those teams right up until the end of the season, in an attempt to highlight the Gameweeks most at risk of rotation.

MANCHESTER CITY

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 23? 8

Saturday 2 April: Gameweek 31 – Burnley (a)
Tuesday 5 April: Champions League quarter-finals – Atletico Madrid (h)
Sunday 10 April: Gameweek 32 – Liverpool (h)
Wednesday 13 April: Champions League quarter-finals – Atletico Madrid (a)
Saturday 16/Sunday 17 April: FA Cup semi-finals – Liverpool (n)
Wednesday 20 April: Gameweek 33 – Brighton and Hove Albion (h)
Saturday 23 April: Gameweek 34 – Watford (h)
Tuesday 26/Wednesday 27 April: Champions League semi-finals
Saturday 30 April: Gameweek 35 – Leeds United (a)
Tuesday 3/Wednesday 4 May: Champions League semi-finals
Saturday 7 May: Gameweek 36 – Newcastle United (h)
Saturday 14 May: FA Cup final
Sunday 15 May: Gameweek 37 – West Ham United (a)
Sunday 22 May: Gameweek 38 – Aston Villa (h)
Saturday 28 May: Champions League final

Manchester City’s reward for overcoming Southampton in the FA Cup on Sunday is a meeting with Liverpool at Wembley, which notably comes a week after they entertain the Reds in Gameweek 32, and just a few days after their Champions League second leg against Atletico Madrid.

So, after their trip to Turf Moor in Gameweek 31, from 5 April to 16/17 April, City will face Atletico twice and Liverpool twice across the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup.

Having dropped points at Selhurst Park in Gameweek 29, City’s lead at the top of the table is down to just one point, which encouragingly for FPL managers, should ensure they won’t take their foot off the gas anytime soon.

Pep’s previous comments about City’s players needing “rhythm” are also worth bearing in mind, and does suggest that we’ll see a strong XI against Burnley in Gameweek 31, which notably, is the first game back following the international break.

Beyond those matches, as we enter the last third of April, Gameweeks 33 and 34 could see a degree of rotation, while Gameweek 35 is another one to monitor if Man City are to progress to the Champions League semi-finals.

The postponed Gameweek 33 fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers, meanwhile, could feasibly slot into Gameweek 36, which would hand City an appealing double-header against Newcastle United and Wolves.

In terms of personnel, Ederson (£6.1m) is a reliable starter at the back, although it’s worth noting that Joao Cancelo (£6.9m) and Aymeric Laporte (£5.8m) have sat out just one match each since the turn of the year, while you’d also assume Ruben Dias (£6.2m) will start most games when fit.

Further forward, Bernardo Silva (£7.1m) has started every Premier League game in 2022, while Kevin De Bruyne (£11.7m) only missed the trip to Carrow Road.

The advanced attacking roles look harder to call, however, with Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m), Raheem Sterling (£10.5m), Phil Foden (£7.8m) and Jack Grealish (£7.5m), plus Gabriel Jesus (£8.4m) to a lesser extent, all competing for starts.

PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYING TIME AT MANCHESTER CITY 2022:

LIVERPOOL

Saturday 2 April: Gameweek 31 – Watford (h)
Tuesday 5 April: Champions League quarter-finals – Benfica (a)
Sunday 10 April: Gameweek 32 – Manchester City (a)
Wednesday 13 April: Champions League quarter-finals – Benfica (h)
Saturday 16/Sunday 17 April: FA Cup semi-finals – Manchester City (n)
Tuesday 19 April: Gameweek 33 – Manchester United (h)
Sunday 24 April: Gameweek 34 – Everton (h)
Tuesday 26/Wednesday 27 April: Champions League semi-finals
Saturday 30 April: Gameweek 35 – Newcastle United (a)
Tuesday 3/Wednesday 4 May: Champions League semi-finals
Saturday 7 May: Gameweek 36 – Tottenham Hotspur (h)
Saturday 14 May: FA Cup final
Sunday 15 May: Gameweek 37 – Southampton (a)
Sunday 22 May: Gameweek 38 – Wolverhampton Wanderers (h)
Saturday 28 May: Champions League final

Liverpool face similar challenges to Man City, with a packed schedule which could see them play up to nine times in April.

The visit of Watford and then a potentially Premier League title-defining clash with Pep Guardiola’s side at the Etihad is sandwiched between the two legs of a Champions League quarter-final against Benfica.

Then, another clash with Man City in the FA Cup semi-finals is followed by Anfield meetings with rivals Manchester United and Everton. Should they defeat Benfica, there’s also the first leg of a Champions League semi-final at home to either Bayern Munich or Villarreal on April 26 or 27.

To prepare, we could see a bit of minute management against Watford in Gameweek 31, although given the timing of the international break, that is far from definite.

As ludicrous as it sounds, given the magnitude of the derbies, Gameweeks 33 and 34 could perhaps see a spot of rotation, while the same goes for Gameweek 35 if they are to progress past Benfica in the Champions League.

It’s also worth noting that the postponed Gameweek 33 fixture against Aston Villa could feasibly slot into Gameweek 36.

Jurgen Klopp, at least in the past, hasn’t been one for mass rotation, but competition for places is greater than ever under the German right now.

For example, Mohamed Salah (£13.3m), Sadio Mane (£11.7m), Roberto Firmino (£8.7m), Diogo Jota (£8.3m) and Luis Diaz (£8.0m) are all excellent options up front, with further depth supplied by squad players like Takumi Minamino (£5.1m) and Divock Origi (£4.8m).

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.5m), meanwhile, is an early doubt for Gameweek 31 after picking up a hamstring injury, with Klopp suggesting that he would be out for a “few weeks”. If that’s the case, Fantasy managers may consider selling the England right-back, given that matches against both Manchester clubs follow.

Saturday 2 April: Gameweek 31 – Brentford (h)

Sunday 15 May: Gameweek 37 – Manchester United (a)
Sunday 22 May: Gameweek 38 – Watford (h)
Saturday 28 May: Champions League final

Chelsea have been handed one of the tougher Champions League quarter-final draws against Real Madrid, which does suggest we may see a degree of rotation in Gameweek 32.

Looking further ahead, Gameweeks 33, 34 and 35 could also be at risk, especially if they end up prioritising the cup competitions, which could feasibly happen given that they are 10 points behind second-place Liverpool and eight points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in fifth.

That would certainly limit the appeal of assets like Reece James (£6.2m), although the upside he offers is probably worth the risk regardless.

Elsewhere, the forward positions look hard to nail down, with Kai Havertz (£7.9m), Romelu Lukaku (£11.4m) and to a slightly lesser extent, Timo Werner (£8.6m), all vying for starts.

It’s also worth noting that the Blues have two matches still to be rescheduled against Leicester City and Leeds United.

FPL Gameweek 20 round-up: Tuesday’s 3pm kick-off review, injury news and the things we learned

Saturday 2 April: Gameweek 31 – Everton (h)
Thursday 7 April: Europa League quarter-finals – Lyon (h)
Sunday 10 April: Gameweek 32 – Brentford (a)
Thursday 14 April: Europa League quarter-finals – Lyon (a)

Thursday 5 May: Europa League semi-finals
Saturday 7 May: Gameweek 36 – Norwich City (a)
Sunday 15 May: Gameweek 37 – Manchester City (h)
Wednesday 18 May: Europa League final
Sunday 22 May: Gameweek 38 – Brighton and Hove Albion (a)

West Ham United are entering a crucial period of the season, with their next three league games against Everton, Brentford and Burnley – all sides in the lower reaches of the table.

From those fixtures, Gameweek 32 is perhaps when we will see a bit of rotation, given the importance of their Europa League quarter-finals either side.

However, it’s worth noting that the Hammers have made the fewest changes to their starting XI in the Premier League all season.

That’s mainly down to a shortage of options at David Moyes’ disposal, which was evident in Gameweek 30, when Arthur Masuaku (£4.4m) for Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) was the only outfield change, despite being taken to extra-time against Sevilla on Thursday.

As a result, given the threadbare nature of the squad, there probably won’t be too much rotation during the run-in even if they do reach the Europa League semi-finals.

However, Michail Antonio (£7.5m) looked understandably leggy on Sunday and was withdrawn after 55 minutes, while the goals have dried up too. Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m), meanwhile, is nursing a hernia injury, but should be available after the international break but reports suggest Jarrod Bowen (£6.6m) faces a longer spell on the sidelines.

Notably, if West Ham were to reach the final of the Europa League and Manchester City make it to the FA Cup final, the Hammers would blank in Gameweek 37 and could double in Gameweek 36.

Saturday 7 May: Gameweek 36 – Everton (h)
Sunday 15 May: Gameweek 37 – Watford (a)
Sunday 22 May: Gameweek 38 – Southampton (h)
Wednesday 25 May: Europa Conference League final

Following Sunday’s home win over Brentford, Leicester City are into the top half of the Premier League table, while they are also through to the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League.

The Conference League, meanwhile, may offer the Foxes the best route back into European competition. They still have two tough rounds to go before the final though, with PSV and potentially Roma standing in their way.

Given their returning players, it’s highly likely we’ll see plenty of rotation in the coming weeks.

Both goalscorers in Gameweek 30 were fresh selections as Brendan Rodgers was able to make four changes to the team that returned from Rennes.

That meant full-backs Ricardo Pereira (£5.2m) and Luke Thomas (£4.3m) had to settle for places on the bench, with James Justin (£4.9m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.3m) preferred on the day.

There are plenty of options at centre-back, too, including Daniel Amartey (£3.9m), Caglar Soyuncu (£4.9m), Jannik Vestergaard (£4.7m), Wesley Fofana (£4.3m) and Jonny Evans (£5.4m).

There could be even more good news on the way over the next two weeks as Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) steps up his return from a hamstring injury.

It’s also worth noting that Leicester have two matches still to be rescheduled against Norwich City and Chelsea.

Leicester and Villa will have nice DGW with Chelsea. Question is how many of these teams will still he motivated though...

  IMO FH is the best chip to save until late in the game. If you play it after your rivals you have the upper hand. You can decide how much risk to take to extend/close a lead/deficit.

    This would be true if all weeks were equal, but they aren't. If they've played it at an optimal time and you've waited for a non optimal time just to play it later then they have the advantage

      The point I’m making is if you are carrying a lead then you template FH vs your rival to protect position and if you have a deficit you can make better calculated risks on differentials late in the game.

  Beach is a thing though.
  
  Chelsea if they double in 37 will play on Tuesday and then Thursday and will likely have nothing to play for after securing 3rd. I'd expect fully rotated teams between games especially since they have cup finals to contest around that time.

      They don't have enough midweeks left if they make the FA Cup final and get past Real Madrid in the UCL.
      
      If they go out of the FA Cup (vs Palace so not that likely), they could play a normal-ish schedule. If they go out of the UCL vs Real they might double in 35 instead of 37.

  I think FH38 looks best if the title & Top 4 race is on. The fixtures are juicy for all teams and if we’re lucky may even get some team news.

  You can assess which teams will be motivated when the time comes. FH33 is not floating my boat at all with generally poor fixtures for DGW teams and good fixtures for SGW teams I must say.

I've hit WC this week to keep me amused in the break and prepare my team better for the run-in, any changes you'd make??

Pope (Foster)
Trent Cancelo Matip White (Amartey)
Salah Son Kulu Barnes (Sissoko)
Kane Broja (Cucho)
2.3m ITB

Obviously some smelly bench fodder in there... Got a bit of robbo>Matip cash to splash so could do some upgrades? Thinking of a BB somewhere down the line, no other chips left!

  Downgrading Robertson to Chelsea defender is an easy route to generate cash but I'm not sure where to use it. However, since morning, I'm considering Ronaldo instead of Salah.

  It's easy if you don't have to prep a BB.
  
  If you do, it becomes very hard and you have to sacrifice a few things.

Current setup:

Ramsdale
TAA Rudiger Doherty
Saka Coutinho Raphinha Son
Lacazette Broja Kane

Dubravka Barnes Saiss Kilman

1FT, 1.7itb

Dubravka can cover for Ramsdale is he misses out, and I'm hopeful TAA will be OK after IB (otherwise swap for Robertson), should I still go with my planned moves of...

Son Coutinho >> Salah Kulusevski (-4) ?

Early days but nice to have a draft plan in place.

Thanks

    The current team I have now for next gw. I already used BB, so no worries there. Chelsea attack, not worried at all. I would love one of KDB, Mahrez or Foden, but I have 0 ITB, and it would take a hit or two for the cheapest city attack

  Lacazette to Cucho and Ramsey upgrade may be a marginal improvement?
  
  ... that should get you Maddison as well for Leicester City doubles.
  
  Double up on Leicester midfield for the doubles??
  
  That's if Lacazette remains an assister rather than a hauler.

Best replacement for Bowen if I already own Salah, Saka, Kulu & Raph?

Personally I don’t see many straight forward replacements.
Chelsea & Leicester mids could be rotated for GW31-33.
Raphinha is anyways a good place holder for Lei mid in GW33.

I keep coming back to Sancho.
His stats are not far off Ronaldo/Bruno and could also be a good captaincy option for DGW33. Having Sancho means I don’t have to sell Salah/Kane for Bruno/Ronaldo.

    Ultimately that and Premier League combined must be Pep's main aim.
    
    Albeit he's also taking the FA Cup seriously.

Overthinking is already kicking in 😆

FHing this week followed by WCing in next with not much emphasis on DGW33. This could be worth a shot. Triple Chelsea, Liverpool and couple of punts from Man Utd, Man City and West Ham. Tasty and feels much more explosive then GW33.

      I liked your Ronaldo plan. Salah might not play full 90 vs Watford and then plays City. Take a chance with that. WC with 36/ 37 in mind. Keep FH for 36/ 37 too.

  The thought of BB'ing Kane Cucho and Mateta is pushing me towards BB33 instead...
  
  I can go Kane, Lacazette and Weghorst for 33 which seems much more acceptable. Midfield doublers in 33 are cheaper so I could afford that frontline.
  
  In GW36, we might need to have Salah, Mahrez, Havertz, Foden or something like that.

If you had this team + 1 FT going into DGW33, what change would you make?

Sanchez
TAA Cancelo James Tierney
Salah Sancho Saka Martinelli Maddison
Kane
(Sa, Broja, Doherty, Gelhardt)

I've been thinking that its wasteful to spend on FT on changing backup GK, but now I'm not so sure if Sanchez (tot mci) - Dubravka (LEI CRY) might work..?

I still have FH, WC and BB left.

My plan:
- Dead-end my team towards DGW33: I don't think the doubles are good enough to warrant a FH. I can probably get to 6 or 7 DGW-players by then and the other SGW-players will have a nice fixture to play.
- WC in GW34: After the FA cup semi-finals we'll finally have a better idea of how GW34-38 look like. This is the perfect moment to set up a team that can compete with my mini league rivals.
- BB in GW36: If the WC did its work, I could have 15 playing DGW-players in this gameweek. Ideal for a bench boost!
- FH in GW37: I prefer using FH in blank gameweeks to avoid an empty bench. FA cup final will probably make sure this happens.

What do you guys think? I know it's team-dependent, but is this the way to go?

  Im thinking likewise. However I will WC now in 31 and prepare the team for 33 and 36. I think I can make it possible with some forecasting and luck. I will have the players available so If they have 36 or 37 DGW it wont be so different. FH37 and hope Villa Leicester and Chelsea arent on the beach by then

My early plans are to go without Salah Into GW31. Reasons are that in GW 32 liverpool goes aginst Man City so there might be few goals if any there. And since Salah has his foot problem I'm thinking he might be rested against Watford. Long way to go until GW31 but if things would stay the same as they are rightnow that's my thinking. 🙂

Any feedback on that train of thought?

    Didn't play in FA cup, because of foot trouble apparantly. Watfords game is more important though agreed.
    
    Of course he can perform if he plays , but will he haul, that's the question.....
    
    I agree though that this move would be a risk and going against the flow. 🙂

  I will happily sell Salah if confirmed he's not playing Watford.
  But if he is fit you're probably risking a double digit captaincy haul against the rest of FPL.
  Could easily fall behind by 30-40 points.

Here is the plan I made for my chips.
I would be quite happy to analyze it with you, mates:)

(-) No TAA, too much forecasting, only Cancelo from City and no Chelsea, FH37 with Leicester Chelsea and Villa may be a trap.
(+) Going through 33 and preparing for 36 from now because we know the teams in 36/37. Focus on players that will be fired - Spurs Arsenal

WC31, BB36, FH37
6DGW players in DGW 33

Pope Foster
Robbo Cancelo Schar White Mitchell
Salah Son Saka Maddy Fraser
Kane Weghorst Cucho

GW34 Pope to Schmeichel
GW35 Weghorst to Mateta
36 Fraser to Zaha; Schar to Fofana/Amartey
