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.

    Have Antonio. Was probably taking a hit this week anyway with James out and some fires to deal with in midfield, so comfortable with a -4. But which looks better?

    A. James & Gallagher to Bowen & Coufal (or other WHU defender)

    B. Gallagher & ESR to Gray and Bowen (may result in benching Dennis which isn't ideal)

      Most will probably have Bowen and Antonio which makes sense, maybe a punt on 1 or 2 of Gray, Toney, Coufal or DCL could work, but loading up on on teams like Everton and Brentford who've struggle recently wouldn't make sense unless on a FH punt.
