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.

      With 5FTs I'd say at least do A.

      I assume you'd bench Anderson if you go for B? I've got a similar debate over Gordon, he just seems the prime candidate to just blank this GW. I'm trying to see if theres actually a better alternative. That said, if I dont find one ill likely do Rice to him.

      I think you may find you'd wish you'd have kept the transfer in hindsight, but at the same time he could do well. I just dont trust him.

      I’ve just got A and B for Gudmondsson and Tarkowski ( before price changes). Sad to let go big Tark but the fixtures don’t look promising, still have 1ft left and all the chips. And no more headaches about fielding an eleven players.
