Manchester City’s FA Cup fifth-round win over Newcastle United furthers the likelihood of City and Crystal Palace blanking in Gameweek 31.

It also prolongs the possibility of the Cityzens blanking in Gameweek 34.

BLANK GAMEWEEK 31 LATEST

Had City been eliminated by the Magpies, their postponed clash with Palace – originally scheduled for Saturday 21 March – could theoretically have been housed on the weekend of Saturday 4 April. That would have kept it in Gameweek 31.

Now, that’s no longer a possibility. City will be in FA Cup quarter-final action on that weekend.

There is one faint chance of City v Palace staying in Gameweek 31:

  • Man City v Crystal Palace could be played in the midweek of April 7/8 **IF** both City and Palace are knocked out of their respective European competitions before the quarter-finals.

City play Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, while Palace face AEK Larnaca in the corresponding round in the Conference League.

Those ties will be resolved by the evening of Thursday 19 March.

Even if both clubs go out of Europe, the Premier League and the broadcasters may have another Gameweek in mind.

    Funny old game. Mbeumo. I doubted the price/value/role in the team before the season started yet there he is, in my team, still/again.

    Overthinking and ownership/FOMO. FPL is a mirror into the soul.

    So City will (if they go to semis of FA Cup and they or Palace win in Europe) get DGW 33 v Arsenal + Palace, and DGW 36 v Burnley + Brentford?
    Or is DGW33 blocked due to Palace playing West Ham on the Monday?

    Rice and Rogers to Mbeumo and Wilson? already have Wirtz, so not sure who to go for other than Mbeumo, who has good underlying stats.

    If I was a Wrexhamtonian I would be a proud peasant right now, full of hope and joy.
    What a team of true British Grit.
    Absolute respect for the players that would shame many over paid Muppets going through the motions in the Piggy Prem.
    Absolutely Fabulous Darlings!

      Sorry, I should of acknowledged the true Red Dragon grit.
      Apologies.

      Wrexham are just a lower league City... anything they achieve is hollow as they have 10x the money of everyone else at their level.

        I believe this may expose your lack of passion for the the great game x10 as I understand it.
        Feck the politics.
