Double Gameweek 21 announced for West Ham, Brentford and Everton

The news that Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers were waiting for – or part of it, at least – finally arrived on Friday, with the confirmation that we are to get a Double Gameweek 21.

West Ham United, Everton and Brentford are the three teams who will get a Double Gameweek, 16 teams will have a single Gameweek and Newcastle United will be without a fixture altogether.

A total of 22 postponed Premier League fixtures were outstanding before today’s announcement (18 due to Covid-19, one thanks to inclement weather and three future matches due to clashes with the Club World Cup and EFL Cup final) with three of them now rearranged for Double Gameweek 21.

The additional fixtures in Gameweek 21 are:

  • Southampton v Brentford
  • Everton v Leicester
  • West Ham v Norwich

It’s at this point where we bring up the dreaded C-word again: coronavirus. It goes without saying that the fixtures below are the mercy of the ongoing pandemic, so doubles could easily become singles or blanks in an instant.

We’ll have more coverage of the Double Gameweeks in the coming hours and days, while we’ve set up a Hot Topic to gauge your reactions here.

    Who should I drop first to get Antonio:
    a) Jesus (likely to be benched as he played last gw)
    b) Lacazette (playing agaist Man City)

    C) Mount > Gray (will do Bilva > Son next week)
    D) Locaida > Antonio (makes getting Salah back tricky)

    100% doing A - just a matter of deciding on which transfer for a hit

    From the dgw teams:

    No defenders and mids except from Bowen I Think is likely to have more than 1 attacking return over 2 matches, and that I would like to have in my team the week after.

    Same with Toney and DCL not match fit. Maby Antonio, bit doesn’t seem like in form and would require -8 to get in.

    FH seems A waste with these teams in GW 21, knowing that the players we really want and believe in have A dgw in GW 22. so FH in GW 22.

    Just go with Bowen in dgw 21?
