What latest Double Gameweek announcements mean for our FPL squads

Both of Manchester United’s Double Gameweeks have been confirmed after details of their rearranged games were revealed on Friday afternoon.

The Red Devils were waiting on new dates for the Blank Gameweek 31 visit of Manchester City to Old Trafford and the Blank Gameweek 33 trip to Wolves.

The first of those has been pushed right back into Double Gameweek 35 and will be played on Wednesday, April 24.

The second of those, the trip to Molineux, has been brought forward into Double Gameweek 32, to be played on Tuesday, April 2.

That means we now know the schedule for the remainder of Manchester United’s season.

Their Double Gameweeks will look like this:

Double Gameweek 32: Watford (home) + Wolves (away)
Double Gameweek 35: Everton (away) + Manchester City (home)

The first of those looks more appealing than the second, with Paul Pogba (£8.8m) and Marcus Rashford (£7.8m) looking almost essential for Double Gameweek 32, possibly even Triple Captain candidates.

For now, we only have one set of Double Gameweek fixtures for Manchester City which looks like this:

Double Gameweek 35: Tottenham (home) + Manchester United (away)

If Manchester City win their FA Cup quarter-final against Swansea, that will add a Gameweek 33 home match against Cardiff to their list of psotponed fixtures.

With Double Gameweek 35 now already taken for them, it could mean we have an opportunity to pig out on their assets in Double Gameweek 32 with Fulham (away) and Cardiff (home) the potential cannon fodder.

As for Wolves, their Double Gameweek 32 looks like this:

Double Gameweek 32: Burnley (away) + Manchester United (home)

Currently outstanding for Wolves is their postponed Gameweek 31 meeting with Arsenal.

With Double Gameweek 32 now taken up for them, it is probable that this will move to Double Gameweek 35. If that were to happen, then they would have a nice looking set of doubles that week of Brighton (home) and Arsenal (home).

The Premier League have confirmed that there will be no more Double Gameweek announcements until after the FA Cup quarter-final matches on March 16 and 17, which coincide with Blank Gameweek 31.

    if brighton reach fa cup sf, will chelsea brighton be moved to gw32?

      Think it's more a question if Man City reach fa cup sf...then Chelsea - Brighton will be in GW32

    How many points should Auba score in order to keep him (Not getting Aguero i mean) ??

    1. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Shouldn't even be a consideration. How many points he scores this week has no bearing on his or Aguero's future points.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, but it does create an issue If Auba hauls right ??
        Bournemouth home is also great fixture
        That's why I'm confused

    2. Regin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      10 atleast

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah.
        Would be great

    3. JammySprat
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2, points will come and SURELY agureo won't hall again

    4. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I also have Auba and also want Aguero. The thing is, Jesus is back from injury and Auba will definitely play 90 mins. I could downgrade Fanderson to upgrade Rashford to Aguero and have both Auba and Aguero but I am not sure I want to do that either. I am really stuck on FPL at the moment. Dropped 400k places in the last few weeks (thanks in part to Aguero's hattricks)

      1. JammySprat
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Also Kane to consider with 2 premium forwards

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Not considering Kane. He takes weeks to get back into the swing of things. I will wait.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Also, son is enough spurs imo

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

        Same worry
        Auba also have Bournemouth home with is great imo

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Aguero have West Ham which must be as good, and better form. Both blanks, but up to that Kun has by far the best fixtures. And now Arsenal can´t just field an also ran team in EL, This will of course depend on who you´ve got in the first place, if you have one i´d stick with him as transfers are precious.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I have got Auba
            Cheers mate 🙂
            Will see how he performs

      Thank you all.

    7. elchilangles

      but I'm doing Auba to Aguero but not sure whether to wait until after Bournemouth or not!

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yep
        Same question

    8. Party time
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I would keep any Arsenal attacker if I had one now for the Bournemouth game 🙂

    9. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Chance of Auba will be on the bench tomorrow?

      1. Regin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        0.5%

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          55.5%

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

          i think it's 50%, 4 games in 10 days for Auba if he starts

          1. OPTA FPL
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Bournemouth mid week, Spurs next weekend

            1. AndyCook
                5 years, 1 month ago

                You’re assuming that he will play Bournemouth which is potentially no more likely than playing Southampton.

        3. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Inversely proportion to chance of him staying in my team next gw 😀

      2. Regin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        so is boruc 100% nailed now?

      3. Regin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        how essential is salah now? Apart from those penalties, has he been 4m worth more than mane? Thinking of playing mane & sterling.
        Current rank of 162k (was 32k in gw 12). Thinking of risking it now.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You may have to get him back for gw 31 & 33 mate.
          So consider the price loss you can afford.

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He will have like 200% effective ownership in the blanks. So basically essential if you are trying to hold a lead. Mané worth a differential punt if you are chasing I guess.

        3. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          WIl do Salah to Mane this week, he doesn't deserve those 4 m compared to Sadio

      4. Regin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        if crystal palace are eliminated in fa cup quarters, will they have dgw in 32?

      5. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Richarlison (C) against cardiff next gw?

        He's due like deulofeu 😉

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He's no where near as talented. Been expecting something like this from Deulofeu since pre-season. Watched his games for Barca last year and he didn't look out of place alongside Messi and co. He just needed time to adjust to the league.

          1. The Blackadder
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I wish you’d told me this before I shipped him in my draft team on Thursday, finally got fed up with the blanks. Took my mum out for her birthday dinner last night, it got ruined by updates from that game 🙂

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              You probably made the right call, that's just unfortunate.

              No one could have predicted when, or if it would happen. He first joined Everton when he was 19 from Barca's youth academy, and they teach a very specific way of playing there that is not built for the Premier League. He's 24 now, and is finally getting a run of games in this league, injury free.

              I'm not saying he will go on a run this season, but if Watford have good fixtures at the start of the next season, he'll be in my GW1 team for sure.

              1. The Blackadder
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                I transferred him out for Almiron due to the fact my son wanted him and he’s top of my draft league....he who laughs last and all that.

                1. Piggs Boson
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  As good a reason as any 🙂

                  Watford's remaining fixtures are crap.

      6. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years

        Any expected timeline on AWBs comeback? Is it time to move on to another defender ?

      7. JammySprat
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Interesting opinion in the article about essential many United for GW 32. I would argue that Watford and Wolves are the best of the rest (7th & 8th best teams). Watford! You say? That is Watford with Doucoure, I haven't done the research but would make an interesting article to accompany to the one that is probably coming about Deulofeu. Watford are a completely different beast with Doucoure and Wolves have been great all season so I don't see United's double he as essential.

        1. JammySprat
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Just checked the table and they are actually 7th & 8th which i didn't realise

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

          true that, not expecting much...

          but fixtures around doubles are good, so worth taking a shot.

          Have been a big fan of Nuno and Wolves all season, credit to Watford too, but Pogba and Rashford have already returned against tougher opposition under Ole. It’d be dangerous to go into that double without them IMO, dependent of course on what other games are put into said double.

      8. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        So for this week 27 I have C on Son but losing him next week rather that Laca is an option. Currently no City attack so would you go

        A. Laca to Kun
        B. Son to Sterling

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Need to see how all 4 do in their game.

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks as you said that I checked fplstats and thankfully it's not a decision I need to rush
            Exact on the Sterling move and .4 to spare for Kun move

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

          A

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            It was my planned move but if I could have Laca home to BOU too while having City attack it would be nice.
            Exact cash always a bad omen anyway 🙂

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I feel Son is good enough to match Sterling whereas Laca isnt good enough to match Kun, can go either way...

              But fixtures wise, yes, Son to Sterling looks better

              1. Albrightondknight
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah on paper but how bad is the Che fixture now? See how they do against City in the final I suppose.

      9. elchilangles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        0 for 2, get in!!!

      10. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Reading this article no more dgw announcements until after 31, ok there is a two week gap to GW 32 but does this give enough time to get everything organized to have more dgw fixtures in 32?
        If it is sufficient time then fine, just would like opinions on this as I don't know.

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          my initial reaction was that this prob means no more GW32 games but the 2 weeks between and the fact that the picture is a lot clearer also for the FA after next round the outcome is up in the air. Thins like Chelsea, Arsenal going further in the EL cup also could affect this as i think FA don´t care if they have to put a game in a week of CL, so if Chelsea goes out for Kiev those CL midweeks could be a slot for them too, with little foundation whatsoever my feeling is that the games could be spread out a bit depending on what happens in domestic and european cups.

        How blanks in GW33?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          1 as of now

        2. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          2 or 3 or 4.

      12. cescpistols111
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Deulofeu to David Silva? 1FT, 3.0 ITB. Planning to WC after GW30 anyways.

        Current team is:

        Dubravka - Hamer
        Robbo - Kolasinac - Doherty - AwB - Shaw
        F.Anderson - Hazard - Son - Deulofeu - Stephens
        Auba - Rashford - Firmino

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Subtle Deul brag?
          Enjoy it it's the only points he will get for rest on season he ranks up with Walcott as an FPL asset

          Seriously that could be a good move.

          1. cescpistols111
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            100% agree. That's why I want to move him on

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

          not sure about Silva

          1. cescpistols111
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Any better move?

        3. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          AWB is injured and there´s a lot of games coming up, Kola one good game but then it goes south with Arsenal´s fixture, Shaw has two decent games but then Arsenal away, Haz and Chelsea completely out of form, and you want City but Silva, although the price is good i´m not sure that´s the way to go. i can see the reasoning here as you then can keep the other from the big guns. I would def wait

      13. Sz21
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Digne -> TAA probably the smartest move here?

        Fabianski.
        Pereira, Doherty, Bednarek, Digne .
        Pogba, Salah, Son.
        Firmino, Auba, Rashford.
        Hamer, Camarasa, Felipe, AWB .
        1ft, 0.3m ITB.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Save then use 2FT go get Kun or Sterling.

      14. Regin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        i dropped from 32k to 162k currenlty. COntrary to what everyone is doing, i am using my WC now and play BB in gw29 & TC in Gw32 hopefully when city have a dgw. My defense is a shambles. Free Hit already used.

      15. Regin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        if budget a constraint, is chilwell good enough instead of pereira?

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yep IMO

        2. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          if he is injury free that is, it´s my plan to bring him in, Pereira stats are better but 0.4 is a bit considering they´re playing for the same team in similar positions (until Amartey is back Pereira plays RB).
          i can afford both but also thinking Chilwell just because my plan is much easier to do moneywise if i choose him, and a more personal reason is i like him more as a player.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Plan is fine.
          But really don't think I will lose Jimenez or Rashford before I WC lots of value tied up there.
          If that means I only field 9 or 10 in 31 then so be it.

        Assuming city get fulham CARDIFF in 32 (I know it may not happen but no harm in pretending it does) then very excited bout tc32. Thats the way to be different but of course it depends how your team is set up for 31/33. Love the idea of fh35 too so defo gonna explore this. Nailing a fresh kun tc in 32 (he doesn't play internationals and city don't have cl) would be immense. The cons though are

        A) Won't know if city have dgw32 till after 31 deadline. Could always go Pogba tc though (wolves WATFORD)
        B) Every man and his dog will be kun c in this scenario so if he does less than amazing all the fh32 crowd will prob smash you
        C) Fh a much better chip than tc so don't compromise your 31/33 team to nail tc32

        Gotta think kun ll get 20points though and means can use fh in another week. Defo exploring this strategy

          City's assets in dGW are always a risky move to TC going by the history 🙂

        For those of us in a normal (European) timezone, how did Fanderson do last night? Quite disappointed he didn't register any attacking returns given they scored 3 goals.

        1. Regin
          • 6 Years

          he was crap.

          subbed before 3rd. Other 2 were blatant cheating and a set piece

            Are you a West Ham fan by any chance?

            1. Rhinos
              • 10 Years

              You mean Fulham? Neither but it was blatant cheating trust me

                No. I meant West Ham. It was a joke. So Fando was shite or the rest of the team too?

          He looked awful. Peripheral and lazy. Didn't look a threat at all. I've just bought him for the blanks and I'm already tempted to get rid...

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Me too and me too! I am not in Europe at the moment so it is hard to watch the footy because of the timezones. I sold Sane for him. In hindsight, I wish I had carried the transfer and done two next week. Ah well!

            1. bench boost for every gamew…
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              FPL wise he was bad, but on the pitch he was decent imo. Snoddy was the one who looked better in FPl terms, Fandersons positioning was a bit worrying as he was either too deep or in a position where he must be lucky if he gets the ball, either way, West ham with Antonio on the right side seemed to aiming for him at the back post, from Cressweel or Snoddy which means the one who suplied the supplier was Anderson. Subbed is a little worry although three games in a week to come could explain why.

                • 7 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Nice write up. Cheers! I will keep him for a real life week which is 2 more GWs and then reassess.

            He was okay himself, just told not to attack. Different role and tactics compared to what I've seen before. I believe the idea was just to keep him fresh and let other WHU players do the running.

          who would u play of the following midweek:
          a. son (CHE away)
          b. yedlin (home to burnley)
          c. shaw (away to cry pal)

            the son

        6. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Had to smile at the 89 points scored by this week's overall leader - his 15 minutes of fame with Deulofeu(c). Nice work though.

          1. The 5% Team
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            haha yes...he also captained the likes of Tarkowski, Bamba, Robertson and Walker in the past GWs 🙂

          2. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Wow 😀

            I'm leaning more to fixtures over form after this season.

            1. The 5% Team
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              That's a hit or miss strategy....I went fixtures over form with Anderson captain this GW. Fixture wise a better option than Deulofeu, that went well :/

              1. Piggs Boson
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                So many factors to take into account. Difficult game this...

                  haha true...for people who like planning, this game can take up sooooo much of your time....and then disappoint you on a Friday match with the whole weekend ahead 🙂

          5 years, 1 month ago

          How do I possibly pick 3 to bench from this lot midweek?!

          Doherty Pereira VVD Laporte Bednarek
          Salah Mane Son Richarlison Anderson
          Jimenez Rashford Rondon

              Hilarioius - never see anyone else ask this type of question on here EVER - I am the ONLY person to ask such a thing...

              Anyway current on Son, Anderson, Bednarek

              1. Party time
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Yes. Strong team. Those 3 are my pick also

                  1. Scotty B
                    • 11 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Surely they can't do much away at Chelsea and City & fancy Fulham to score at Southampton?

                    Just risky benching players who are capable of hauling so it's either that or BB

                    1. Party time
                        5 years, 1 month ago

                        Yes Fulham will score. 100% sure of that. Son could haul but less likely. BB still too early imo. Better played in a double gameweek.

                        Nice team Scotty 🙂

                          Thank you mate, De Gea & Speroni are my goalies btw.

                          Few days to ponder...

                          I guess it's a bench of Son, Anderson & Bednarek then unless I get an injury or suspension 😉

                          Or panic on Tuesday do Speroni > Boruc & use the BB haha

                              hehe... I hope it's not your captain with the injury or suspension this gameweek but yes good team to benchboost, I just feel benchboosting nailed dgw players is safer. Worst case scenario is 4 points from each

                    Well that is an option as I have 0.2 ITB to replace Speroni and have 15 players but is it silly to use that now on a single gameweek?

                      Rather play Son over Rondon.

                        Rondon - Home to Burnley

                        Would you say BB is silly with at least 2 DGW on the horizon?

                          How many points do you think the bench will score?

                          Depends if you have free hit and Tc.

                          This BB will be pure profit, using it later might get you more points directly, but how many points will you sacrifice after that gameweek with players that might be suboptimal

                            5 years, 1 month ago

                            Still have all 3 chips but no WC so plan is to use FH in 32 and wasn't sure on other two?

                            1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
                              • 9 Years
                              5 years, 1 month ago

                              Well to get a strong bench in 35 you’ll have to sacrifice points points in 33 and post-35 is imagine.

                              I’m in a similar position to you, no wc, and would BB this week but would have to take a hit to get a playing GK.

                              Bench would be Fraser/Arnie, Bednarek, Digne

                              1. Scotty B
                                • 11 Years
                                5 years, 1 month ago

                                Sounds like you are in a very similar boat but only advantage I have is I can get a 2nd keeper for free.

                                Would just be annoying if bench scored like 7 points but as you say with no WC it's hard to build a team when teams blank and then suddenly have a DGW so maybe now is the time to use it and concentrate on using the other two chips and building your team sufficiently the best we can around the fixtures?

                                1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
                                  • 9 Years
                                  5 years, 1 month ago

                                  Yup. See how injuries look etc.

                                  Also try and work out what sort of benches you may have between now and the end of the season.

                                  If you discount the blanks, your FH, and you TC, there are really only 6 weeks that you can use it.

                                    • 11 Years
                                    5 years, 1 month ago

                                    Yes just doing that now and wouldn't use it really besides 35 which is when I may want to TC.

                                    Need to check Boruc is defo first choice as well now as he is a big part of this. Not only for potential BB but also deputising in the blanks

                          Don't bench Son! Never bench Son. Luiz and Alonso are hardly defensive titans.

                          Would rather bench Rondon or a defender over Son.

                  Bench Anderson, Bednarek, and... whoever's injured. There's always someone...

                  How are you Scotty? 🙂

                    I know I'm actually hoping for a little injury haha.

                      Benching Anderson against City is easy, and he's looking exhausted. Bednarek is against Mitrovic, Schurrle, and Babel, and is in a crap defence. Defo those two.

                      I can't wait for that game. It should be a really entertaining match. Expecting a Liverpool win, unfortunately, but who knows with this United team. I'm good thanks Scotty, just looking forward to the pub later 🙂

                      Warnock is going to be so mad in the next to or three days that Cardiff players will fight the hell out of the Everton boys and Rich will certainly get rested anyway, Bednarek i would play over Fanderson but not Son. I would sell Richarlison and if i had him i would if i could locked him in a fourth bench place to never return

                          still recovering from the exhaustion of that last game.. -)

                          Rotation might me better phrasing, Silva has a bunch of players in the same medium level which he seems to rotate and Rich in the two last sequences og 3 games in a week played Start-Sub-Start. Either way, Cardiff will beat Everton and Everton won´t score, if they do Warnock will prob do something punishable by law to his players-)

                  Fpl should have some regulatory rules for this type of players...most weeks there is someone like this

                  Well, obviously. If everyone had a single team, then perhaps it would be fine, but I bet he has several.

                  But this is fine for PL as they want this inflation as it makes it look like more people play, when in reality it is probably 4m, with 2m duplicate accounts, and that is probably kind.

                    If they did away with GW prizes and monthly prizes then I’d imagine less than 4m players would play next year.

                  it's a free game...everyone is allowed to play the way they want to, no rules for that (unfortunately)

                  I don't mind that.
                  Everyone has their own way to play it.

                The latest DGW announcements mean that Arsenal and City join United and Liverpool as members of the big 6 who can't have a DGW32 and a game in blank GW33. Spurs and Chelsea do still have chance, but they are both relying on Brighton losing to Millwall, then their chances are still only 50/50, as what would be their only postponed game could be playing in DGW35.

                  Maybe I am reading this wrong, but no.

                  City can play in 33. If they lose to Swansea.

                  If they beat Swansea they will likely DGW32 v CAR

                    In terms of easy fixtures for big teams, which double GW is better for free hit ?

                      I’m no expert, but I think GW32 should be better. Albeit, that probably makes assumption that City will play CAR.

                    If City loss to Swansea, they will not have a DGW32.

                      Oh I see what you mean now, I was reading it as two seperate statements.

                  isn't the chance of Chelsea - Brighton in GW32 pretty high?

                  If City win vs Swansea in FA cup, their match vs Cardiff would go into DGW32 (because their United match has already been confirmed to DGW35).
                  This means Cardiff play Chelsea and City in DGW32 and have no room to also play their match vs Brighton in this week. This would open the door for the Chelsea - Brighton match to played in DGW32

                    Spurs v Brighton could be moved to 32 instead. All games are being rearranged when all blanks are known after GW31, so all assumptions are off other than the couple of obvious ones (i.e Man City should go to 32 if they beat Swansea, and Wolves v Arsenal will go to 35)

                      ah yes....too much variables and speculating

                        The beauty of the FH32 and WC33/34 approach - it doesn't really matter where the fixtures fall as all your big decisions will be based on knowns rather than unknowns.

                          yeah, this seems like the best / template chip strategy for those with all chips left

                    Good point, but wouldn't you still be replying on Millwall beating Brighton ? Otherwise Brighton would have another postponed game v Spurs that could be rescheduled for midweek in GW32.

                All week I was planning
                Alonso & Kamara to Schar & Vardy.
                After over analysing, reading posts and comments, basically having a last minute panic I ended up doing Digne & Kamara to Rice & Arnie.
                WTF is wrong with me.

                        I do this all the time.
                        Step 1. Have a plan/gut feeling/educated guess.
                        Step 2. Throw it out the window based on comments received about said plan.

                So with current situation with blanks for MCI in 31 and 33 it is wise to get rid of their assets for GW31, get them for FH in 32 and then WC for 34 and BB in 35?

                  That's the most popular strategy for those with all their chips, and enough FTs to field an XI in BGW31. I'm doing the same.

                  1. Lucky Z
                    • 6 Years

                    Agreed. Also already used TC on Kun so no need to think on it.

                    To completely base your chip strategy around city team

                    Haven't even thought about who I'm getting GW32... That's the beauty of the FH. We can assess if anyone looks likely to start both games right before the deadline.

                  Is feilding 8 players for a -4 decent in gw31. ?

                    • 6 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Can do any better? Saying that mean using FTs on other players, not fielding 11 for -16 🙂

                      Can feild 9 if i get maddison over sterling.

                      But im not going to overlook short term fixtures for the gain of only gw31 (which might be a disappointment anyway)

                        in my early planning...I'm doing Sterling >Maddison in GW31 as well, and use FH32.

                  2. The 5% Team
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    I would maybe go for -8 to field 9 players...but only if this extra player has good fixtures in 31 and 33. (assuming you're using FH32)
