When are the FPL Blank and Double Gameweeks likely to happen?

The upcoming Fantasy Premier League Blank and Double Gameweeks are now starting to come into focus.

Preparing for these early on can provide you with an opportunity to climb the ranks and outscore your mini-league rivals later in the campaign.

In this article, we’ll be assessing when the altered Gameweeks are likely to fall.

What are Blank and Double Gameweeks?

A Blank occurs when a Premier League fixture is postponed and rescheduled to a different Gameweek.

The two teams involved in the postponed fixture will not play in the Blank Gameweek, but they play two matches in the Gameweek that the fixture is moved to. This creates a Double Gameweek.

The most common reason for postponements in FPL is when fixtures clash with the later rounds of the two main domestic cup competitions.

This season, postponements will be caused by clashes with the EFL Cup final (Gameweek 27), the FA Cup quarter-finals (Gameweek 31) and the FA Cup semi-finals (Gameweek 33).

The postponements in Gameweeks 27 and 31 are certain to cause Blanks as there is a full round of Premier League fixtures in the midweek after Gameweek 27 and there’s an international break immediately after Gameweek 31.

The postponements in Gameweek 33 are also very likely to cause Blanks because there are Champions League quarter-finals in the following midweek. Premier League matches are rarely played on the same night as matches from UEFA’s elite club competition.

What do we know about this season’s Blank Gameweeks?

We will start by looking at the fixtures in each of the upcoming Blank Gameweeks.

You will notice in the screenshots that each fixture has a “Blank Percentage” which is the probability of the fixture becoming a Blank, calculated using the bookies’ odds for either team to reach the stage of the cup competition that occurs on the same weekend.

Gameweek 27

Although it has not officially been postponed yet, we can safely assume that Everton vs Manchester City will be a Blank fixture. Pep Guardiola’s men won the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final against Burton Albion by a 9-0 scoreline, effectively sending them to Wembley already.

The second Blank fixture in Gameweek 27 will either be Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur or Chelsea vs Brighton.

This Blank will be decided next Thursday night when Chelsea host Tottenham in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final. Spurs won the first leg 1-0 but will be without Harry Kane and Son Heung-min for the second.

Gameweeks 31 and 33

The FA Cup third round has now been completed, which saw seven Premier League teams already falling at the first hurdle.

We now know that Fulham vs Liverpool will definitely go ahead in Gameweek 31.

We also know that Huddersfield vs Leicester and Southampton vs Liverpool will both be played in Gameweek 33 as planned.

The other 17 fixtures in these Gameweeks are still at risk of becoming Blanks.

Crucially, that means Liverpool are currently the only team who we know will not have a Blank fixture caused by clashes with the EFL or FA Cups.

Furthermore, the Reds will only get a Double Gameweek this season if one of their fixtures is postponed (and moved to another Gameweek) due to another reason, such as bad weather.

Gameweek 31 will clash with the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, causing a maximum of eight Blank fixtures. Gameweek 33 will clash with the semi-finals of the FA Cup, causing a maximum of four Blank fixtures.

The fourth round of the FA Cup is on the weekend of January 26th, which means it does not clash with FPL. It takes place a few days before the Gameweek 24 deadline.

Likewise, the fifth round of the FA Cup does not clash with the Premier League either. It will be played on the weekend of February 16th, a week before the Gameweek 27 deadline.

Also, there won’t be any fifth round replays in 2018/19. That means all the Gameweek 31 Blanks will be confirmed before the Gameweek 27 deadline.

In each of the last two seasons, the FA Cup quarter-finals have caused six postponements and the semi-finals have caused four. It is unlikely to create that many again this year.

Based on the Blank percentages, there will probably be three to five Blank fixtures in Gameweek 31 and two to four in Gameweek 33.

What do we know about this season’s Double Gameweeks?

It is impossible to predict exactly how the Blanks fixtures will be rescheduled but we can make logical assumptions based on what has happened in previous years.

In the last three seasons, the later rounds of the domestic cup competitions have caused a total of 33 fixtures to be postponed, 29 of which have been rescheduled to the midweeks in Gameweeks 34 and 37.

These have been the only midweeks towards the end of each campaign that didn’t feature Champions League matches.

It appears as though the Premier League have reached an agreement with UEFA so that rearranged fixtures are only played on the same night as Champions League matches if there are no other available dates.

In 2018/19, the two free midweeks towards the end of the season without Champions League ties are in Gameweeks 32 and 35. Therefore we can confidently predict that the majority of the Blank fixtures will be moved here.

The Gameweek 33 Blanks will be confirmed on the weekend of March 16th, which is only two-and-a-half weeks before the midweek in Gameweek 32

This could mean that the Gameweek 33 Blanks are more likely to be moved to Gameweek 35, and the Gameweek 31 Blanks might be more likely to be moved to Gameweek 32.

Here is this season’s probable Blank and Double Gameweek schedule:

Gameweek

Reason

Blank Gameweek 27

EFL Cup final

Blank Gameweek 31

FA Cup quarter-finals

Double Gameweek 32

Blank Gameweek 33

FA Cup semi-finals

Double Gameweek 35

There is also the possibility that there could be another smaller Double Gameweek if a team gets three Blanks. However, there is no obvious space in the schedule for this.

A rearranged game could perhaps be moved to the same midweek as the Champions League semi-finals in Gameweek 36 or 37 when there’s more likely to be a night when another Premier League team isn’t involved in European action.

In the last six seasons, a total of three top-flight fixtures have been moved to the same night as the knockout stages of the Champions League but, on each occasion, they have been on the same night as fixtures between teams from other European nations.

Chelsea, Man City and Spurs are three of the teams who could get three Blank fixtures due to clashes with the domestic cup competitions but there might not be enough available midweeks to accommodate three rescheduled fixtures if either team were to also reach the semi-finals of the Champions League or Europa League.

To avoid this potential backlog of fixtures, a Gameweek 27 Blank could potentially be brought forward to the midweek in Gameweek 25.

This would not be possible if either team involved in the Blank needed a replay in the FA Cup fourth round and it would also only give fans planning to attend the rescheduled fixture around 11 or 12 days’ notice. This would be particularly unfair to Spurs fans planning to travel to Lancashire to attend their fixture away at Burnley.

If a Gameweek 27 Blank is moved to Gameweek 25, it will be announced a few days before the Gameweek 24 deadline. It seems unlikely to happen, but it is a possibility.

A Gameweek 27 Blank could also be brought forward to the same weekend as the FA Cup fifth round in Gameweek 26 if both teams were to be eliminated in the fourth round.

Stay tuned for another article from Ben Crellin later this week, focussing on the potential strategies to help us navigate the Blank and Double Gameweeks.

When we know more about which teams will and won’t be affected by fixture changes, we will publish some more content.

    4. Yank Revolution

      Sane or Sterling would look good

    5. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years

        Cheers guys, only way I could get city mid this week is getting rid of martial/ anderson/ siggy who all play and I’m left with guendouzi starting!

    7. RustyBz

      You must have asked this same question around 10 times

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years

    Bottomed sorry people

    Kane > Kun (-4)? Leaving me;

    Fabianski
    Doherty • Digne • Kola
    Haz • Rich • Salah(C) • FAnders • Martial
    Rashford • Kun(vc)
    (Button / Bednarek / Kamara / AWB)

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Kun too risky for me with Jesus improved form

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If you puntbon Kun (C)

  3. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Sane in for Felipe Anderson worth a -4?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Probably

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        really

    2. the german
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No not for a hit

    3. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Close but not for me

    4. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No

    5. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No

  4. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Herrera to any mid up to 8M - 4?
    If so who?

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Probably wouldn't go for any for a hit. Herrera will always have a chance to get the odd goal/assist in the form United are on.

    2. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      We need to know who your other mids are please?

    As posts are moving slightly slower this evening I want to see if this can get some traction, see how everyone COULD be doing...

    https://fplmystats.com/ > enter manager ID (this can be found in the URL when on the "points tab") > Drop down "Team Selection"

      Ok so I got the following:

      Areas wasted
      BPL - 88

      I'm sort of ok with it... It's the nature of the game. But it does make you think!

      Thanks for posting Suave

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It's just interesting right? So I got burned a few times on captain... Arnie 1 pointer. GW Robbo was rested unexpectedly and my C didn't play and Robbo was VC so no capt points that week. This week Alonso capt 2 pointer (also cost me my cup run). Also had Mahrez and Kane captained for 1 pointers.

        Can also show how effective you are with bench choices. I've been horrific..

      my total points is 1396 my benched points is similar to you but my captain picks have been better then yours. But i've captained Salah nearly every week,

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years

        I ditched Salah GW5. Only just brought back in for this GW.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Is it possible to work out the best strategies? For instance, is it better to have a strong/weak bench and is there a correlation between bench points lost and overall rank?

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Or even a correlation between value on the bench and actual points?

      Fixtures are better, more nailed that Aguero, lower floor and ceiling in my opinion.

      Auba
      Sure starter is the biggest advantage IMO.
      I had same choice Raz or Auba.
      Have gone for Auba this week.

    Vardy mucking about in training. Can't be a good sign for Puel when his main striker isn't taking training seriously:

      How is it possible to look so recognisably like Jamie Vardy even under that mask? 😀

  17. Saka Punch

    Would you do:

    TAA & Pereira -> Robbo & Shaw (-4)?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No. Only one this GW

      1. Saka Punch
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Don't have the funds for Robbo without downgrading someone

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Trent to Shaw?

          1. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            This

          2. Saka Punch
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah I had thought about it, but would then need to upgrade Pereira to Robbo next week, as he has 3 bad fixtures. This way I would be looking to save a transfer next week (also think Pereira unlikely to keep clean sheet away to Wolves, while Robbo very likely to, so would hope to cover the hit).

            What you reckon?

            1. Zenith UK
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              If YOU think the transfers cover the hit hell yeah go for it.
              People (in general) are so scared of hits but they don't realise if you profit from the hit it's profit you wouldn't have had. I'd rather do -4 and the players get 8 (4 point profit) than do no transfers and my players got 2 or 3 points (2/3 point profit). I'm still up and realistically if you're transferring well you're covering yourself for the next GW or two (in your case Pereira bad fixtures and TAA injury).

    Have the misfortune of a need to bench one of these players...who and why?

    A) Doherty (LEI) *own Patricio
    B) Holebas (BUR)
    C) Digne (sou)

    Odds say to bench Digne, Southampton been scoring, but so have Burnley.

    1. Amey

      B

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Highest CS percentage and 2nd highest odds to score out of defenders. He was the one I was most confident in, thank you!

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I think wolves have good CS chance.
          Digne more creative.
          So ...

    2. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      B as the other 2 have more attacking threat imo.

      A. But I'd make some changes...Alisson to Lloris, Begovic to Button, Llorente to Jimenez

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Lloris is my only concern. I want to gamble, but I know it is a gamble

          *sorry Llorente

    3. Visionaries

      But I'd try to get Pogba & Alli in the same team

      16 days since aguero not played after pool match.He will start unless he has some problem so wait for the pressers.I am sure.Pep knows how crucial he is for title race.The idea of kun needs to get his place back from Jesus is bs and Jesus in form
