Liverpool win, Spurs + Newcastle out: What it means for the Blank + Double Gameweeks

Having looked at the Blank and Double Gameweek implications from Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League ties, we now do the same with Wednesday’s fixtures.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 33/BLANK GAMEWEEK 34

FPL notes: Wirtz returns, Ekitike rested + Ngumoha bright

In short, little changes with the eliminations of Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Newcastle and Arsenal are still very likely to double in Gameweek 33 and blank in Gameweek 34. That’s because of the Gunners and their progress in the Champions League and FA Cup.

Tottenham will not have any Blank or Double Gameweeks this season – barring unexpected postponements for things like inclement weather.

Arne Slot’s side’s progress to the Champions League quarter-finals does mean one thing, however. Should the Reds get past Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool and Crystal Palace would blank in Gameweek 34 and very likely double in Gameweek 33.

Everything Blank/Double Gameweek-related will be pretty much rubber-stamped before the Gameweek 32 deadline. Until then, we’re inching closer to a few likelier scenarios.

    VvD | VdV | Hill
    Bruno | Gordon | Wilson | Scott
    Ekitike | Thiago | JP

    Did Haaland + Rice for Gordon + Thiago. Kinda tempted to punt (imagine using that word only six months ago) on Salah, but nah.

      You won't see Salah on wildcards next week, it's been a sentimental punt for the YouTubers lol.

    Best 2 strikers for a 1 week punt besides Thiago..

    Pedro, Sesko, Richarlison, Jimenez, Ekitike, Bowen, DCL all in the mix..

      Ekitike is a no. Jimenez and Richa probably, although Sesko, so hot right now, Sesko.

      I'd probably buy Pedro and Bowen. I'd be too concerned this is the week Muniz starts I think.

      It's quite difficult to get defcons Vs Burnley, they also score fairly frequently. Tyne Wear derby doesn't feel like a clean sheet game either, but chance of attacking return is higher with Hall so I saw go with him.

      Lewis Hall is quality.
      However Thiaw is more nailed, is cheaper, has better Def con and offers more goal threat. If more than a one week punt he's the sensible choice.

    "Should the Reds get past Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool and Crystal Palace would blank in Gameweek 34 and very likely play in Gameweek 33."

    Is it "very likely play in Gameweek 33' or 'very likely DOUBLE in Gameweek 33'?
