FPL Fixtures: Early guide to possible blank and double Gameweek dates

1,564 Comments

Manchester City’s victory over Liverpool last night marked the end of a hectic festive period in which 40 Premier League matches were contested across 14 days.

FA Cup third round weekend now brings some welcome respite in which to take a cursory look at the weeks and months ahead.

We’re only six Gameweeks away from the first mini-blank of the season, with the final of the EFL Cup set to be contested on the same weekend as Gameweek 27 in the Premier League.

Barring any seismic shocks in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup, Manchester City’s Gameweek 27 match against Everton will be one of the Premier League games to fall victim of that schedule clash.

Burnley v Spurs or Chelsea v Brighton could also be affected, depending on which of the London sides triumphs in their forthcoming semi-final.

Gameweeks 31 and 33 will also very likely be blanks for some top-flight teams, with the FA Cup quarter-finals and semi-finals set to take place on those weekends.

At the moment, the much-anticipated “double Gameweeks” look likely to be in Gameweeks 32 and 35, given that the midweeks following those scheduled Premier League fixtures are the only ones not affected by European club competition or the March international break.

Forward-planning is not just about navigating the blanks and doubles, of course, but factoring in which top-flight sides have a congested fixture schedule around their league games.

Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester City are in EFL Cup action twice in January, while those three clubs plus Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal recommence their UEFA Champions League/Europa League campaigns from the middle of February onwards.

We’ve cobbled together a calendar for the remaining Gameweeks of the 2018/19 season, though in some cases (Premier League fixtures from Gameweek 29 onwards, FA Cup from fourth round onwards) the dates are subject to change due to the whims of the relevant television broadcasters.

The excellent Ben Crellin is an invaluable resource at this time of year, particularly his “percentages” spreadsheets regarding the chances of all 20 Premier League clubs being without a fixture on a blank Gameweek.

      Here's another option. Prepare your team for the blank gameweeks (31 & 33 as the FA cup semi finalists will be blanking both these weeks) and then free hit for the double in 32. Wildcard then before 34 and BB in 35. TC will have to be used in a single gameweek though.

      Are people going to bring him in? If he had gone to Palace then I think lots would have brought him in as he was almost a guaranteed starter. But at Bournemouth he has a lot more competition (Wilson, King). Is he guaranteed to get minutes?

      I feel your pain. We have very similar teams and I’ve slipped from 3k to 123k over the Christmas period. I’ve analysed my downfall and I can only put it down to well owned players scoring well that I don’t own and getting the captaincy decision wrong. Sad times! There’s not a lot wrong with your team. Stick with your plan and roll the transfer would be my advice.

      West Ham assets have shifted. Marko might be the player getting most of their attacking points again. Also their great fixture run is now over. So maybe Fabianski needs another look? But he’s still good value I think either way.

    'Crazy FPL stat: Salah has as many points from clean sheets (12) as Fabianski & de Gea, the 3rd & 4th most popular goalkeepers in the game, do.'

        Confirms him as a first-teamer though. It's basically the second team with Dele and Son. If Lamela was fit, then I doubt Son would have played.

      No objection to the Alli pick at all. Good place warmer until Son comes back from his trip away. I would try and make Kamara Wilson personally to have better rotation cover , downgrading PVA and Lloris . Quite like it though.

      midfield looks strong and you've gone the cheap forward option which I actually quite like

      bit too much bunce in defence. would prefer AWB to PVA as a cheap nailed defender

      if you are playing 5 in mid you only need 3 strong defenders for your 3-5-2
      so gives you Jonny, other cheap def + Kam on the bench
