Chips and transfer strategies to navigate the FPL Blank and Double Gameweeks

Fantasy Premier League managers should start formulating a plan in their minds for the upcoming Blank and Double Gameweeks.

These provide an excellent opportunity to make up lost ground or press home a mini-league or overall ranking advantage.

The best way to make the most of these altered Gameweeks is through the use of the FPL chips.

After discussing when the Blank and Double Gameweeks could fall earlier this week, we will discuss the best transfer and chip strategies in this article.

Using Chips to Navigate the Blank and Double Gameweeks

FPL managers may have to rethink an often-used chip tactic from previous seasons this time around.

It has been popular in previous campaigns to Wildcard in a single Gameweek between the Blanks caused by the FA Cup quarter-finals and the first big Double Gameweek. Then after that, use the Bench and Triple Captain chips in two big Double Gameweeks and Free Hit in the Blank Gameweek caused by the FA Cup semi-finals.

However, that strategy will not be possible this season as there won’t be a single Gameweek in which you can Wildcard between the Blanks caused by the FA Cup quarter-finals and the first big Double Gameweek, as these fall in Gameweek 31 and 32 respectively.

Gameweek 31 is likely to be the biggest Blank Gameweek of the season and many FPL managers will use their Free Hit then if they haven’t prepared for it. You’ll have plenty of time to come up with a plan to use your free transfers to prepare for Gameweek 31 and the Free Hit chip may be more useful in the subsequent Gameweeks.

Free Hitting in Double Gameweek 32 would allow you to focus on preparing for the Blanks in Gameweeks 31 and 33. This strategy will work particularly well if you were then to Wildcard in Gameweek 34 to set your team up to play your Bench Boost chip in Double Gameweek 35.

Free Hitting in Blank Gameweek 33 would allow you to focus on preparing your team for the Doubles in Gameweek 32 and 35. This strategy will work better if you can Wildcard in Double Gameweek 32 to get rid of your players who have just played in Gameweek 31 and replace them with players who will have at least one Double Gameweek.

Neither of these Free Hit strategies involves playing your Triple Captain chip in either of the two big Double Gameweeks. You would either Free Hit or Wildcard in Double Gameweek 32 and then Bench Boost in Double Gameweek 35.

That leaves the potential “extra” Double Gameweek as a perfect opportunity to play your Triple Captain chip if one team ends up with three fixture rearrangements this season.

I think an extra Double Gameweek (outside of Gameweek 32 or Gameweek 35) seems likely enough that it’s worth holding on to your Triple Captain chip for.

There have been at least three separate Double Gameweeks in each of the last nine seasons. There will be a third Double Gameweek this season if a team ticks at least three of these boxes:

  • They or their Gameweek 27 opponent reach the Carabao Cup final
  • They or their Gameweek 31 opponent reach the FA Cup quarter-finals
  • They or their Gameweeks 33 opponent reach the FA Cup semi-finals
  • They have a game postponed (and moved to another Gameweek) for another reason such as bad weather or traffic problems etc.

There will also be a third Double Gameweek if a Gameweek 27 Blank is brought forward to Gameweek 25 or 26.

All the Blanks fixtures will be confirmed by March 17th, which is a day after the Gameweek 31 deadline. The Double Gameweek 32 fixtures will be announced between February 19th and March 19th.

It makes sense to prepare for the Blanks in Gameweeks 27 and 31 using free transfers and then decide on a chip strategy during the international break after Gameweek 31. At that point, the Blank and Double Gameweek picture will be a lot clearer.

Trying to navigate this stretch of the season without the use of a Free Hit chip and your Wildcard will be difficult. Transfers that you make to prepare for a Blank Gameweek could directly lead to you having fewer players with two fixtures in a subsequent Double Gameweek and conversely, transfers that you make to prepare for a Double Gameweek could directly lead to you having fewer players with a fixture in a subsequent Blank Gameweek.

Remember, the teams who reach the FA Cup semi-finals won’t have a Premier League fixture in either Gameweek 31 or 33 and are very likely to play twice in both Gameweek 32 and 35. The teams who have a fixture in Gameweek 31 are unlikely to play twice in Gameweek 32 and the teams who have a fixture in Gameweek 33 are unlikely to play twice in Gameweek 35.

If you have already used your Wildcard, it still makes sense to Free Hit in Double Gameweek 32 or in Blank Gameweek 33 but another option might be to focus on bringing in players who Blank in Gameweek 31, then Free Hit in that Gameweek and you’ll be well set up for the Doubles in Gameweeks 32 and 35.

Using Free Transfers to Prepare for the Blank Gameweeks

Bringing in players who won’t Blank in either Gameweek 31 or 33 will give you more flexibility when you come to chose a chip strategy for dealing with Gameweeks 32 to 35.

Liverpool are currently the only team who we know definitely won’t Blank in either of these Gameweeks, but more teams will be added to this list after each round of the FA Cup.

Liverpool’s fixtures between now and Gameweek 31 are Crystal Palace (home), Leicester (home), West Ham (away), Bournemouth (home), Manchester United (away), Watford (home), Everton (away), Burnley (home) and Fulham (away). They then play Southampton away in Gameweek 33. Meanwhile, the other top six Premier Leagues sides will likely only have somewhere between seven to nine fixtures in those 10 Gameweeks.

Tripling up on Liverpool players by Gameweek 31 is an obvious move and bringing them in well in advance of Gameweek 31 makes sense given their upcoming fixtures.

Mohamed Salah (£13.4m) is the highest scoring player in the game and with five double-digit scores in his last seven Gameweeks, he’s fully justifying his price tag. He will certainly be one of the most popular captains of the season when Liverpool travel to Craven Cottage in Gameweek 31.

The question is whether you opt to double up on Liverpool’s defensive assets with Salah or just pick one of Liverpool’s back five and double up on their attack with Salah. He could be paired with either Sadio Mane (£9.5m), Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) or even Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.1m) who’s scored five goals in his last ten appearances and tends to only be benched against tougher opposition.

Liverpool players are obviously worth bringing in now, but other than that there’s no need to let the upcoming Blanks affect your transfer decisions this week.

We’ll receive more information about all the Blank Gameweeks in the week leading up to the Gameweek 24 deadline. You might want to use your free transfers between Gameweeks 24 and 27 to make sure you can get an active starting XI in Blank Gameweek 27 whilst also keeping an eye on how your team is looking for Gameweek 31.

Gameweek 26 would be a good time to save a free transfer as the Gameweek 31 Blanks will all be confirmed four or five days before the Gameweek 27 deadline. That will give you six free transfers before Gameweek 31 with full knowledge of which teams will Blank.

Spurs’ fixtures between Gameweeks 23 and 26 are very favourable with Fulham (away), Watford (home), Newcastle (home) and Leicester (home) their opponents. But after that, it has the potential to be less appealing. If they beat Chelsea in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg and win their FA Cup fourth-round tie their schedule would be Blank, Chelsea (away), Arsenal (home), Southampton (away), Blank. Accordingly, Gameweek 27 could be a sensible time to sell your Spurs players.

If Burnley lose away to Man City in the FA Cup next Saturday, Leicester will be added to the list of teams who won’t have a Blank fixture this season. The Foxes have tough fixtures in the next four Gameweeks but in Gameweeks 27 to 31 they would face Crystal Palace (home), Brighton (home), Watford (away), Fulham (home) followed by Burnley (away) if the Clarets get knocked out of the cup. They will host Huddersfield in Blank Gameweek 33 so Gameweek 27 seems like it will be a good time to start bringing in Leicester players. Ricardo Pereira (£5.3) looks like their best Fantasy asset and has received plenty of attention on the site in recent weeks.

If you are one of the FPL managers who activated your Wildcard this week after hearing about Harry Kane (£12.5m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s (£5.2m) injuries, you should be aware that Everton and Man City plus either Spurs and Burnley or Chelsea and Brighton will Blank in Gameweek 27 and you’ll only have four free transfers to prepare for it.

You may be in the unfortunate position of not having your Free Hit chip or your second Wildcard available but it’s still important to come up with a plan for how you’ll approach the Blank and Double Gameweeks, and be prepared to take hits.

      Giving the D option makes anyone who has other plans say D. Fortune favours the brave and any of those 3 could haul.

      Though looking at your impressive rank this season (6,833 to save anyone checking), you certainly don't need to use TC.

      Save it mate as you're doing great

    Seeing a lot of reports saying Arnie will be dropped from matchday squad for Bournemouth.

    I have money itb to do arnie to rashford for -4 (had to deal with kane already).

    Is it a no brainer? If arnie doesnt start, itll leave me with yellow flag camarasa, red flag trent and red flag lovren as my bench options :'D

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I would have thought you know more about the Arnie situation than most of us.
      But from what I've read, the deal to China is happening any day now, so it would be no surprise if he didn't play tomorrow. Didn't look that up for it against Arsenal.

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

        Confusion is as rife among fans as anyone else, to be honest.

        Shame, perfect fixture. The best laid plans...

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah Hernandez is back and with all the speculation I’d think he plays ahead of Arnie but who knows.

    3. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      maybe get rid of Lovren instead?

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

        Lovren and trent have to wait a week cos I'm double moving them I'm afraid

    4. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes it’s a no brainer. Everyone needs to have Rashford in his team asap.

    5. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I think long term you want Rashford so yeah, take one for the team.

    6. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Fwiw, Im still starting Arnie over Richarlison. Figure Arnie starts, or is not included in the squad, so...

      And if he starts he could score, it’s Bournemouth.

      Would get rid already but have Rashford and already on -4

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

        Yeah, I'd do the same in your position.

        Only difference is my Richarlison equivalent plays for Cardiff and has a yellow flag on him!

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          My -4 was getting rod of said Cardiff player for Sané with the Kane money

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

            A fine move if I do say so

        2. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          see scout tweets re. Camarasa

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Warnock on Victor Camarasa's fitness: "Paterson and Victor were nowhere near fit [against Huddersfield]. On Monday morning, he was like a young pup again, Victor."

            sounds positive?

  6. dunas_dog

    A lot here seem to be getting in Aubameyang yet fpl stats suggest a lot of sellers with three red arrows? Can anyone explain this? Wildcard effect?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Bandwagon vs common sense.
      Auba great fixtures, playing GW27 and captain pick.

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

      A lot of people might be put off by the 2 tricky fixtures in next 3, I guess. Seems really wierd especially with Kane injured

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      His next game vs Chelsea though can account for it

    4. S.Agueroooooo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      is fairly odd but hes not ideal, i think people getting him in are down to lack of amazing options as opposed to desperately wanting him

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I got him in last week. I can see Arsenal beating Chelsea. He has Cardiff at Home and a good game in gw27 for the blanks. Top goal scorer in the league. He has plenty of points in him.

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

          i agree, hes too much of a good player...i cant help but think his lack of hauls recently is just down to no mikhi and no ozil and i think emery and the fans know this too....so im definitely keeping since i got him in for Kane regardless of the fixtures...yes it looks like i wasnt a big fan, but trust me choosing between him and kane was the hardest decision i had a month ago, but Kane just edged it cos of the fixtures...as soon as kane was out i was kind of pleased as i think auba will start hauling as soon as he has more quality behind him...dont forget the relationship him and mikhi have since dortmund very important mikkhi is back soon imo

    Just had my colleague who is 140 behinds me having closed a 200 point lead from before Xmas bragging that he’s gonna catch me.

    He knows to use triple captain in a double but doubt he’s such a sad loser that he knows all this blank game week stuff.

    I dunno who’s the winner really. Probably him

    Good afternoon

    Team at the moment 1FT 0.8 ITB

    Fab - Rui Pat
    Shaw - VVD - Holebas - AWB - Bennett
    F.Anderson - Salah - Hazard - Pogba - Lerma
    Kane - Rashford - Kamara

    A) Kane -> Auba
    B) Kane + Kamara -> Auba & Jimenez
    C) ?

    Not liking City uncertainty. Firmino is an option but too many 2 points GW for him.

    Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks

    re. Free Hit, regardless if now is a bad time to use it...

    if you make a few transfers to do a -8...

    then you press Free Hit then do plenty of transfers...

    does it return your team to the team before the Free Hit or before the pre Free Hit transfers?

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Returns to before the transfers, to your original team that you had the week before.

      Haha back to the original team from the week before. None of the transfers you made before you hit the FH button will be there.

    1. S.Agueroooooo

      not worth it for using a normal transfer let alone -4

      Cool. Hopefully they will bring in someone to replace him to spice things up a bit. Surely only one of Chica and Arnie will be allowed to leave.

    Almost 66k brought in Shane Long this gw.

  20. The Train Driver

    Rich, Fraser, Jimenez..

    Play 2

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If Arnie isn't playing that's problem solved 😀

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        So you can play all 3?
        Decent games anyway.

        1. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yes, if he is out. Was hard to pick out of those 3

  21. COYR

    Kane to Firmino for -4? If not AWB is only cover.

    Already have Rashford.

      Been contemplating all week. Now that Camarasa is unsecure, for me Kane needs to go.

      I'm doing the kane to Auba move.

      1. COYR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Are you doing it for free or a hit?

        Quite like the Auba move, my only prob is I have TAA too and Firmino allows TAA > Robertson next week...

  22. Samurai Blue
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Already did Kane > Rashford. Have another FT. Martial to:

    A) Pogba
    B) Sterling

    Mini-league leader has Pogba.

    Klopp on injuries: "Gini and Trent we will decide day by day. The exceptional part is that they both played 90mins (at Brighton). Trent, what a boy! It was just what happened before the game, playing didn't make it worse. It will be close for tomorrow."

    Trent fit for tomorrow? 😯

      Ohh FFS, can I deactivate WC?! :S

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Glad I’ve decided just to hold him

    2. Bubz

      My God.

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Hahaha love that. Weird he would be out for a month after playing a full 90 mins I thought. Glad I held out

    4. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Never gonna happen

      1. Maddamotha
        • 7 Years

        Jacky Boy knows it all.

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

      Good I didnt take a hit to ship him! Probably will be fit for the next GW at least it seems.

    6. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Eh??

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Sounds like might be back next gw then for TAA and not as long as expected. Not wasting a transfer then.

    7. Naby K8a
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Probably just wants to keep the opposition guessing. Most definitely Trent will be out and Milner will step in.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Likely indeed but good news is he should only miss this one game then!

    8. nevins84
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Lovely jubly.... I couldn't transfer him out without taking a hit so held on....

    9. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Nah can't see it but back next gw hopefully

    10. Yome
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Trent back in the WC then

    11. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I knew it was coming. That's why I decided to carry his injury. Next game is 12 days later so he will probably be good to play and save me from a FT.

    12. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      TAA back for GW24 sweet

  24. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Maxi Gomez would be such a good signing for West Ham to replace Arnie. If he is 7m i’d be all over that would suit pellegrini’s West Ham system perfectly. Really really really hope it happens

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Damn right - he looks good and definitely Pellers cup of tea. You a (long suffering) hammer too Ask Yourself?

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yes mate things finally look promising. If we sign a player like Gomez I will be very enthusiastic for our future. If Arnie gave us anything at all it would be putting us in a position to attract pelle to the club for which he will be a hero for. But now pelle is the man that has completely changed the club and giving us hope to genuinely compete in the future. Love it.

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Agreed - love Pellers and it should keep moving in that direction under him. Don't get up to see many games now myself, but have been a season ticket holder until a mixture of living elsewhere/Big Sam/stadium move put me off.
          Aside from the Payet season, this is the best I've felt about WHU for a while.

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Hahaha don’t blame you if Sam allardyce made you move somewhere else! When we lost payet I though that was the end of enjoying West Ham. Who would have thought Moyes would be the one to turn us around !

  25. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    For the mid term which sounds best...

    a) 1 x mid bench fodder + Firmino
    b) 1 x cheap forward (Ings/Llorente range) + Rich. I'd probably bench the foward this week.

    Klopp says Lovren will be back available for the Leicester game (GW 24). Lallana back in training this week. "Gomez improving but not yet ready."

    2. Zladan

      Gomez and Lovren out. Possibly back for Leicester.

    2. Fpl Richie

      No way! That's great news. Can stop hitting now and leave Kane til next week if so.
