Blank Gameweek 33 picture complete as Spurs reveal Double Gameweek fixtures

Brighton and Hove Albion’s success in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup means that we now finally know how many teams will blank in Gameweek 33.

The Seagulls came back from two goals down against Millwall on Sunday to force extra-time and penalties, running out 5-4 winners in the subsequent shootout.

With the FA Cup semi-finals taking place on the same weekend as Gameweek 33, eight sides will be without a Premier League fixture that weekend: Brighton, Manchester City, Wolves, Watford, Spurs, Cardiff, Manchester United and Fulham.

The six remaining fixtures that will take place are:

The article that went out yesterday evening goes into more detail as to the ramifications of the other three quarter-finals.

As for Brighton, they had three top-flight fixtures that needed rescheduling as a result of clashes with the two domestic cups: Chelsea (a), Cardiff (h) and Spurs (a).

One of those matches has already been rearranged.

Spurs announced after full-time at the Den that they will entertain Brighton in Double Gameweek 35 and Crystal Palace in Double Gameweek 32.

The fact that Chelsea are still in European competition means that the Seagulls’ outstanding meeting with the Blues could very well be rescheduled for Double Gameweek 32 (there are no Europa League ties in that free midweek).

Albion’s home match against Cardiff would appear likely, then, to fall into a separate Double Gameweek later in the season.

We will likely get confirmation of this in the next few days.

Spurs’ rather mixed Double Gameweek schedule looks like this:

GW32
Liverpool v Spurs
Spurs v Crystal Palace

GW35
Man City v Spurs
Spurs v Brighton

Palace’s Double Gameweek 32 is as follows:

GW32
Crystal Palace v Huddersfield
Spurs v Crystal Palace

Finally, Brighton’s rather unappealing Double Gameweek 35 is comprised of:

GW35
Wolves v Brighton
Spurs v Brighton

We’ll have more on the Seagulls’ FA Cup quarter-final itself in our Scout Notes tomorrow.

    Trying to put together a slightly different FH team (but not leave myself too exposed) to try catch my ML leader, come up with this as a 1st draft:

    Foster
    Lindelöf, AWB, Dunk
    Sterling, Hazard, Alli, B.Silva, JWP
    Aguero(c), Lukaku

    Subs: Valery, Boly, Crouch

    Any major suggestions/obvious tweaks?

        Took a (-12), thankfully brought in Mane so probably netted 4/5 points.

        No FH going into 32, so I’m thinking Salah, VVD, Higuain > Sterling, Kun, Laporte for a (-8)

        Will get me 9 DGWers and 9/10 in BGW33, thoughts? Don’t have much value tied in VVD and will potentially mean no Salah for the home stretch.

        Interesting. I don’t watch football, at all. Take most of my information off here.

        Didn’t see anyone mention why Maddison took his shirt off. No wonder my season is dire when people are picking out details like that.

                    Haven’t seen it mentioned.

                    All I saw was “idiot”, “hahaha owners”, etc.

                          Yep. There are some decent posters on here, but generally the quality is much worse than when I last played (2015/16).

                          There was a site back then, maybe totalfpl or something. It was cancerous. I think FFS is becoming something like that was.

                              I was being polite, it's much worse which is a shame as available data and analysis is better. Totalfpl - yep that was the chat box from memory. Final season for me here I think, at least for FPL (may still chat about Eliteserien if that's still sandboxed away). Cancerous is maybe unfortunate timing, but it's ok to refer to an evolving affliction with approriate terminology.
