FPL Double Gameweek 29 confirmed for Manchester City and Arsenal

Arsenal and Manchester City are set for two fixtures in the upcoming Double Gameweek 29.

The two sides will meet on the evening of Wednesday, March 11 at the Etihad Stadium.

That means Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta’s men each have the following fixtures in the Double Gameweek:

  • Manchester United v Manchester City
  • Manchester City v Arsenal
  • Arsenal v West Ham United
  • Manchester City v Arsenal

It may be short notice for Fantasy Premier League managers, with just a few days until the next deadline, but this announcement is sure to send shockwaves through the community.

Still the top-scoring Fantasy asset this season, Kevin De Bruyne (£10.7m) was among the three most-sold assets for Blank Gameweek 28 losing 330,000+ owners ahead of last week’s Friday night deadline.

Meanwhile, no player was transferred out by more managers than Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) for Blank Gameweek 28. Despite an EFL Cup final knock, Guardiola has confirmed the striker is fit and available for the next round of action.

These decisions may have been, in part, influenced by a probable lack of Blank Gameweek 31 fixture. But this Double Gameweek 29 announcement has thrown something of a spanner into the works for Fantasy managers hoping to spend the next few weeks preparing their teams for Blank Gameweek 31.

As ever, Fantasy managers may also be scratching their heads when it comes to assessing which Manchester City assets are likely to start both matches of a Double Gameweek.

Gameweeks 19 to 27

As you can see from the table above, De Bruyne is the only player to have started each of the last 10 matches for Manchester City.

Ederson (£6.0m) probably would have done the same were it not for his Gameweek 19 red card at Wolves but interest in his signature is not expected to be too high for this Double Gameweek.

As it is pitting Manchester City against their local rivals and Arsenal, both teams boasting revitalised attacks in recent weeks, clean sheet potential across the two matches is not too high.

Aguero has started on seven occasions, almost certainly sowing enough doubt to cast aspersions on his viability for Double Gameweek 29.

However, the eight starts and 673 minutes for Riyad Mahrez (£8.4m), as well as three goals and four assists during this period, could make him a powerful differential once again.

Is it time to invest in Arsenal assets after Gameweek 28? 6

However, Fantasy managers may find it easier to consider Arsenal options, especially as their first fixture of Double Gameweek 29 sees them host an obliging West Ham defence.

The Hammers have conceded a total of nine across their last three away trips, an average of three per game. Meanwhile, Manchester City have kept just two clean sheets in their last eight home matches.

That could open the door into Fantasy teams for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) and Nicolas Pépé (£9.2m).

The striker has already been involved in 20 goals this season and is behind Jamie Vardy (£9.8m) by just five points in the hunt to be the top-scoring FPL forward this season.

Gameweeks 19 to 27

When we consider the minutes played by Arsenal assets over the last 10 matches, we see that Aubameyang only missed two, the punishment for his Gameweek 22 red card.

Meanwhile, Pépé has been in fantastic form recently, and enough to ease any concerns about just six starts since Gameweek 18.

Despite the handicap of fewer minutes in the selected period, Pépé’s goal tally is beaten only by Aubameyang among Arsenal players, while none of his colleagues has managed more assists than his three.

With a trip to Brighton in Gameweek 30, Arsenal attackers may also have more long-term appeal than Manchester City counterparts considering it’s Burnley up next for Guardiola’s men who, unlike the Gunners, still have European commitments to consider.

    Thought: Could saving the free hit to GW38 be a good choice? WC33, BB34, TC37, FH38

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Thinking TC 38 and FH37 here .

      1. Jay Arell
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        TC38 so not in a DGW?

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Way too much rotation and most teams have nothing to play for. If I were you or any others with all chips left I would TC KDB or Auba this GW, WC 33, BB 34, and FH 37

  2. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    I have only Aubameyang and 0 players of Mancity and Arsenal and one free transfer. Who is the best option with Arsenal and City?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Aubameyang and Kdb.

    2. Invincibles
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Best: KDB
      Cheap: Saka

  3. The Cherry Picker

    Hello legends!

    What’s the general plan for people with all their chips left?

    Anyone got a plan?

    1. Invincibles
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      So many options, FH this week isnt out of the question if you have 3x Liv, Wolves to cover 31.

      I'm debating TC29, FH31, WC34, BB37

    2. FPL_BUCCANEER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      FH in 31, WC before the big DGW and BB in that DGW.

  4. Jullepuu
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    If you wildcard no there are two ways to go.
    Load up City and Arsenal assets and free hit in gw 31
    There other option is to get some Ciry and Arsenal assets while getting a good team for gw31 and then free hitting in gw 34.
    Which sounds better?

    1. Stoic
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      I'm doing the latter.
      Pepe to Richo in 31 with 2 frees. Then Richo to Fernandes in 32

      1. Jullepuu
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        I'm leaning towards the latter as well. Can't see the point of wildcarding with the goal of burning another chip because of it

    2. Kuzser
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      The latter!

  5. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    thought i was real smart doing KDB to Mane last week
    Now.. how with 0 FT and 0 ITB I fit KDB In?
    Henderson
    Cahill TAA Boly
    Salah Bruno Fleck Mané
    Jiminez Ings Auba.

    Bench:McCarthy,Adama,Lascelles,B.Williams

  6. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Still think Salah is the best captain this week.

  7. FPL_BUCCANEER

    4 years, 25 days ago

    Pope
    TAA Stephens Egan Soy
    Salah Mane KDB Grealish
    Vardy Ings

    Button Traore Lascelles Greenwood

    Need to get Auba in really.. Any advice? Thanks guys.

    1. Invincibles
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Vardy, Ings > Auba, Jota? Play traore over grealish.

      1. FPL_BUCCANEER
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Dont you think Traore is a rotation risk?

  8. JBG
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    If Mane isn't rested this GW, I'm just doing Ihenacho and Traore to Auba and Saka. Can bring in Jota for GW31 this way as well.

  9. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    If KDB is rested, it'll be against Burnley surely

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Never know with Pep. He benched him for a cup final, yes it was against Villa, but still.

    For those with 5+ seasons in the bank, what is your worst ever rank? What is damaging to your reputation? I don’t think I’ll finish top 50k this season and I feel ashamed.

    1. Nickemon
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      14/15 I was top 10k, the following was a disaster: 150k. My worst ever.

      In 17/18 I was extremely lucky and finished 700-ish, but last year was tough and 97k was a struggle to reach.

      Right now I’m 28k, despite a string of bad transfers (Pope out, etc).

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Your history is solid bro. Assuming 1st year you were not really invested but from there it’s extremely respectable. Well done and on track for another top 10k this season

        1. Nickemon
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          Thanks! First year wasn’t a full season, tbf. I registered during the fall and spent the season learning the ropes.

          You’ve been great from the first season! Nice job!!

    2. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Worst rank ever is 510,488 (12 previous seasons). I didn't used to take it as seriously, though.Would like to end up in the top 50k, but I won't feel ashamed if I don't and I don't believe I have any reputation worth protecting!

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Just looked at your team.. you have the knowledge and ability to easily finish top 10k this season!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          Hope so! Thanks! We have quite similar teams, but you have the huge advantage of a WC still to play. Think you'll do well.

    3. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Mine is 200 odd K in my first season where I was a huge donkey.

      Then had a great run of luck with 2 top 1ks, 1 top 2k and a top 20k

      Then finished top 100k last season and was gutted. I would snap your hand off for a top 100k this season though.

      1. Nickemon
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Impressive!

      2. jason_ni

      3. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        That’s an impressive run Goonsquad! Keep at it and the cream will rise when the chips are deployed

        Thanks chaps! WC gone already and made some v questionable decisions this season, but hoping I can at least make some headway with what I have left.

      I never cared about OR (came to know what it is after joining this community last midseason)

      Don't think I'll ever be OR worried guy tbh.
      Will be happy if i get good OR's. Not be ashamed at all i f don't.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I never cared about OR until about 3 seasons ago. I'm not 100% sure its helped me. Less fun for sure!

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          Agree completely.
          I used to take multiple hits on gameday but i sometimes miss that fun 😛

            • 8 Years

            It's frowned upon, but I sometimes miss the days as a youngster where I had a cheeky 2nd team for punt-o-rama.
            Of course that never happened 🙂

        *went for a look at your history... surprised! 🙂

        you contribute greatly on here... can only imagine those finishes are a thing of the past.

        great attitude tho

        1. Amey

          Causal !
          😛

          Best part was i never understood blank GW's. Had kompony in my team with blank once ...

          But yeah, i love this game much more now. Maybe it's because of this community.

          Thanks for the kind words bdw !

      458797 - 2013/14, that was the 1st season doing it, and I'd say I was very casual, not really paying it any attention.

      Shows how much harder it has become, paid a bit more attention in 14/15, then hit some decent finishes in the past 4 years.

      2014/15 2042 123607
      2015/16 2299 2995
      2016/17 2339 4648

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        You’re point about it becoming harder I think is extremely relevant. The popularity of the game and the amount of information makes it extremely hard now compared to yesteryear. You have a good track record!

      2. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Great job! How are you going this season?

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          Cheers, yeah this year is tougher than usual!
          Sitting at 115k, so think best I can realistically aim for is maybe top 50k.

          1. Goonsquad245
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 25 days ago

            If you have all your chips you should definitely aim higher than that

    6. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Had an fpl team since 2006-07 but only the last 4 years have been close to serious.
      Last year was terrible at the end for me - slipped to 102k trying to take risks in the final month. It was foul. This year I was going in the right direction until Gw20ish (the opposite of you!) and I've slid to 200k.
      Top 50k is my aim now - so many players in fpl now and twitter etc; very hard to make huge gains.

      4 years, 25 days ago

      Some humble brag that, that's a decent record. I have been playing since 2008/2009. Consistently mediocre/mid-table obscurity throughout. Two worst ranks were circa 1.3m and last year, just under 800k. Both years corresponded with life events though, married in 2014/2015, set up my own business 2018/2019. Def messed up my average (of being average).

      this is my 14th season... worst finish was 173,349 in 07/08. Damn happy with that!

      1. Nickemon

      3. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Absolutely brilliant stuff. This sort of consistency is really underrated. The only difference between you and someone with more top 10/1k finishes is going to be luck IMO. Great job.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      It depends if I had time to dedicate to the game. Where I did have time I have had 06/07 24k (my first time playing), 09/10 29k, 10/11 95k and 14/15 287 (my best ever). Worst was 16/17 3.4mil and I stopped playing and picked it up this year where I am currently 104k.

      1. IRBOX ⚽

        4 years, 25 days ago

        Time is key. I certainly think family commitments have been detrimental to my season with a young bub, but not complaining.. I would move heaven and earth for my daughter and FPL has taken a bit of a back seat this year. Mark Surherns knows what I’m talking about

          Yep work and family took a heap of time. Kids are a bit older now and have a new job so have some time this year.

        An outlier. You’re having a top season

    11. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      443k is my worst but I play with restrictions, unlikely to finish with good rank 😀

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        What’s your restrictions? Do you have a rule of not bringing in certain players/teams? Or don’t captain your club/against?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          One player from one country !

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          Only one player from one country allowed.

          To test my capability, I may drop this rule for next year though. Want to see whether I will be able to do better or below 50k is what I can manage with normal team as well.

        33 is huge! I’m hoping to crack the top 2000 after this season, but I think it is weighted heavily in favour with those with longer histories and high finishes. Your two top 1k finished are extremely impressive!

        1. Buck The Trent
          • 12 Years

          Yes, played for 8 seasons and this season many great players dont have good seasons by their high standards

      I used to play the Telegraph game for years and only switched to FPL in 2013. First 2 seasons I was the filthiest of casuals and didn't really bother and got 1.1M and 1.6M ranks (*pukes*). Since 16/17 my ORs have been 55k, 38k and 54k.

      So you would be massively ashamed to be me....

      This season I had an awful start and currently c. 100k and have managed my expectations and aiming for top 30-40k but it'll be a push!

        You'll finish top 10k

                  😆 fair enough. Messi & Ronaldo are both goats so it's good to be different for once, I hope he decides to be a sheep

                  The competition has picked up last few weeks so I think 10k will be much much harder if you are currently outside the top 50k personally.

                  Definitely at an advantage holding 3 remaining chips I know - getting it right is the key. Currently thinking WC GW32/3, FH GW34 and BB GW37

              10th season and worst finish is 45k but safe to say I probably won’t beat that this season

              Last season abotu 120k'isj I think, now struggling to get into top 100K. First three years were my best seasons, downhill from there. Spending too little time on detailed planning ahead now, wn too much juping aroud on bandwagons. Also, much more difficult now that everyone are spoon fed in mainstream press and also on FPL site itself how to set up the team.

                United still have to play after that

                1. Amey
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 25 days ago

                  I think i remember a draw taking place before all the games concluded.
                  So he might be right 😮

                    When is the FA Cup quarter-final draw? The draw takes place on Wednesday 4 March at Hillborough after the Sheffield Wednesday vs Manchester City tie, so around 9.50pm, unless the game goes to extra-time and penalties

            Which?

            A) should i take x3 -4 next 3 gws, gw31 have 9 players, postpone WC FH use, maybe very late to benefit from WC

            B) WC now, have 11 players gw31, no hits, use FH later

            A KdB, Pepe (-4)
            B KdB, Mahrez (-4)
            C KdB, Auba (c), Saka (-8)

              Looking at the same but really not sure it's worth the hit. I guess it depends on who you're taking out and what you plan to do in GW31 as bringing in too many players that then blank in 31 will cost more than the hits this week unless you're WCing or going FH in GW31?
              I'm tempted by (A) though if I did this as -8 is a big hole to fill and I'm not convinced Saka can do it so an Auba blank in either game would kill this. Saying that he could score in both games so it's a toss up really!

              The transfers are both interesting but think FH in a major double worth holding onto.

            I own Vardy and Bobby and the obvious move is to bin one for Auba but Villa and Bournemouth at home are such good fixtures and it would take a -4 to get Auba in just for an extra game against City away I’m not sure what to do.

              B with Foster. Big believer in just getting it out the way.

              Close but 1. Think Stephens has greater goal threat.

                  Have a similar set up and on a similar strategy. May

                  Pope (Button)
                  TAA Pereira Kiko (Taylor) (Lascelles)
                  Mo Mane KdB Sarr (Bruno)
                  Ings Jota Jim

                  30 Pereira to Doherty
                  31 Ings to DCL

                  May hold a FT and play 10 to get Auba in 32

            Have Auba and KDB for dgw. Anyone else worth a hit?
