Double Gameweek 20 confirmed for four teams

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

    No harm in dropping one of the two Arsenal to the bench for a NLD. But there are not many midfielders guaranteed to start both matches and do well in them, bar Rashford who you probably have. Foden, Son, Fernandez all come with a risk.

      Probably 2, but only as Man City are less likely to rotate for two tough games.

      Man Utd may do given the games either side of Palace.

      My thoughts are this
      He has scored 5 points in last 2 games v spurs and Bournemouth I can’t see him scoring more than that in next 2 games v Chelsea and United . The last game he hauled in was against a v poor West Ham team and before that a struggling wolves team

    Don’t over think the dgw
    The amount of players that score more in 1 than the dgw players . Think from over fixtures in my opinion . I wouldn’t consider any palace players at the moment also rotation is a huge risk for city players so certainly wouldn’t take any points hits

    Who many DGW'ers do you already have for GW20 , and how many players playing twice that GW to you think you will have come the GW deadline ?

    If you include Cancelo I'm on 5 (Cancelo, Haaland, Kane, Shaw, Rashford) with 2 FT's I'll probably end up with 6.

      Has history scoring v City. Two games. In red-hot form (scored in all five games since restart, on the back of a few at World Cup).

        Same. It is definitely ideal TC time this GW or next.

        Haaland, Rashford, Kane and probably Salah all have them, in that order of preference.

        Oddly if I was not TC Haaland, I would consider Rashford for a regular captain.

          Think Rashford and Shaw maybe enough cover for Utd's double game week, so I would avoid Bruno and Martial. Foden might be a good punt as he scored in the cup game against Chelsea.

      Seriously considering punting on Bruno (I have Rash/Shaw), I'd have to cut my team up to get Kane in for a hit. Thinking Bruno could also be downgraded to Oge/Saka/Almiron/whoever really after the double when needed.

      I also think, not many would be opting for Bruno so might be a bit of a differential. Currently only has 3.3% ownership.

        Yeah he’s a real differential. However he’s not what he was 2 years ago and may be off pens. I can’t really lose too many pts if any vs Mount/Foden. It’s just that what if I can gain more elsewhere by foregoing Bruno

          Do you have Kane? I think he's another double game week option.

    Thoughts on transfers this week?

    Kepa
    Trippier / Cancelo / White
    Rashford / Almiron / Martinelli / KDB
    Kane / Haaland / Mitro

    Bench: Ward, Andreas, Bueno, Neco Williams

    2FTs 2.1itb

    A. Kepa + Neco Williams —> DDG + Shaw?
    B. Almiron —> Eze
    C. All of those transfers for a -4?
    D. Any other suggestions?

      I know it sounds wrong but i'd probably have Ward ahead of Kepa this week.

      I was thinking almiron to Eze, but Newcastle have decent enough fixtures.

      I'd sell Cancelo for a Utd defender - either Shaw or Dalot, so for me it would be:

      D) Kepa and Cancelo for DDG and Shaw

      Neco for Shaw.

      Two FT for next week 21 when you will need them more.

      At the moment Shaw is more likely to play 120 mins than Cancelo. Plus Utd have a better double game week fixture, so it makes sense.

            There's huge demand for it amongst the members but the suits in the ivory tower say no.

            It's a shame, really. They are never going to catch Andy's YouTube views without me. I would transform the format of the show and get some proper FPL debate going.

              By doing what? Genuine question. I agree it requires improvement. What would you do?
