Double Gameweek 20 confirmed for four teams

551 Comments

Following the results of this weekend’s FA Cup third-round ties, we now have a confirmed Double Gameweek 20 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Four teams will now play twice in the upcoming Gameweek: both Manchester clubs, Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.

MAN CITY AND SPURS

Neither Tottenham Hotspur nor Manchester City required a replay to settle their respective cup matches against Portsmouth and Chelsea, so their ‘provisional’ Double Gameweek 20 becomes a confirmed one.

Both sides are involved in local derbies on the weekend of January 14/15 before they meet at the Etihad on January 19.

MAN UTD AND PALACE

The doubles don’t end there.

Manchester United’s progress to round four of the FA Cup and Crystal Palace’s elimination at the hands of Southampton means that neither club will be involved in a third-round replay in the otherwise free midweek after Gameweek 20.

Their outstanding fixture at Selhurst Park has now been rerranged for that slot.

United face their cross-city rivals before heading to south London, while Palace are away at Chelsea before entertaining the Red Devils.

Further reaction will follow later this evening and tomorrow.

Haaland Foden

      It is all risky. Kane gets a YC in a NLD Derby and he misses the next match, but then it is against Man City, but then they beat them last season.

      Sell Salah and then a Liverpool DGW in 21 against Chelsea X2 is announced and you may need him back.

      It will come down to a lot more luck than skill.

    I'm really struggling.

    There don't seem to be that many good defensive options (Trippier and Shaw maybe).

    With so many good midfield options (either on paper or on form) and decent team value, it's a headache who to pick!

    KDB
    Salah
    Saka
    Martinelli
    Odegaard
    Rashford
    Almiron
    Rodrigo

    With Haaland and Kane seeming like the front line to have, it's 5 from 8 (and I've probably missed a few)...

    There's no easy route even with hits to get Kane for me. Already 5 DGWs (Ederson KDB Haaland Shaw Rashford) in the team, should I just forget him? The only plausible -4 is for Saka to Martinelli or Odegaard. Thoughts welcome.

    Evening all. Do we like salah and martial - Kane and Bruno -4.

    It’s my only way to get Kane realistically. I’ll be losing a doubler in martial but would rather have Bruno I think over him. (Already have rashford). Could do a formation change and do salah and green wood - Mitoma and Kane and keep martial?

      I quite like this idea. You never know with Pep what he has seen or sensed or whatever happens in the week during training, and suddenly the favourite is in the cold and the shunned guy is back in business.

      End of the day, Cancelo is a quality player who is by no means a full-back. He could be about to hit a streak. And if everyone sells just at this point, it would be golden to have him.

    The City defense is a real minefield.

    I genuinely have no idea who is good to pick and who isn't.

    LB - Cancelo, Ake, Gomez
    RCB - Stones, Akanji
    LCB - Ake, Laporte
    RB - Walker, Lewis

    I think this is the pecking order but who really knows. For three games in a week, I think only ONE of Ake or Stones start all since both were rested tonight and are first choice imo.

    Stones is maybe the most nailed in his position because he's performing better than Akanji but Ake has added flexibility in being able to play LB or LCB and was kept on at LB over Cancelo when City were in need of a goal against Chelsea. That says quite a lot.

    It was weird though that Pep decided to play Cancelo at RW which clearly just didn't work in the league game vs Chelsea. Wondering if he will shift him back to LB where he has been first choice all season but recent form says he won't. It will be Ake at LB against United I think, especially up against Antony for his defensive ability.

    So predictions...

    Utd - Ake Laporte Stones Walker
    Spurs - Cancelo Ake Stones Lewis
    Wolves - Ake Laporte Akanji Lewis

    Conclusion is that Stones and Ake are the best picks for the DGW. I'm thinking Ake is the one.

          Something is just off with City at the minute to me. Don't look fluid on the ball, Pep seems to be focusing on a defence-first approach meaning it might be the case that Haaland begins to see fewer chances. Could easily be a small window of performances that aren't fully up to scratch though

        My thoughts as well, unfortunately have missed the points but can't ignore anymore

    Haaland Kane Nketiah

    2.7m ITB... Andreas -> Zaha (-4) worth it?

      Not for me. (Incidentally just did the reverse transfer for this current GW! Lol). Save yer money and the transfer. Ollise (sp.?) looks a better option than Zaha, anyway...

    Why was Havertz subbed off after 46 mins against City? Tactical?

      Probably resting him as no way back

      I think there was some element of just giving up & giving Fofana a run out. Plus I assume he was on a YC for the handball (although I don't quite remember for sure)

        Probably a good sign if you want to keep him for Palace that he got some rest given very short turnaround
