Blank Gameweek 31 confirmed for Man City + Crystal Palace

Any last lingering possibility of Manchester City v Crystal Palace going ahead in Gameweek 31 was snuffed out on Thursday night.

Had Palace been eliminated from the UEFA Conference League, their trip to the Etihad – postponed this weekend due to City’s EFL Cup final involvement – could theoretically have been played on April 7/8.

That would have kept it in Gameweek 31.

But Palace’s victory over AEK Larnaca has eliminated that prospect.

WHEN COULD CITY V PALACE BE PLAYED?

We’re looking at the midweeks after Gameweek 33 or 36 for City v Palace now. That would create a double for both sides:

City Gameweek 31

Palace or City could yet have two Double Gameweeks, as one of their Gameweek 34 fixtures will have to be moved due to the clash with the FA Cup semi-finals.

    Timber + OReilly > Thiaw + Andersen?

    will mean 5 ATB, alternative will be selling Semenyo or Haaland but I am keen to keep both for now

        In the real old rules they wouldn't have allowed you to have any hands to begin with but they would have forced you to imagine having hands and then cut them off.

      I would not dream of it. You have an 11 with several picks you would have on FH. You could easily outscore you free hit team. Safe it for 33 or 34

      Also thinking of selling Semenyo. Wilson is very good, but I think I prefer Gordon because he is on pens and is a differential.

    Do you think Semenyo is a sell? It's not just the blank, I'm worrying about his minutes. Subbed off when chasing a goal against West Ham, benched in a must win game against Real Madrid.
    Bought him at 7.5, so I will lose some value if I sell.
