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.

      Sterling just had a rest and is has an incredible record against arsenal. You need Bowen but not for Sterling. Wouldn't bother with Toney. A-grade the troll! Scored less goals than Pukki!

    Looking at best use of ft in this crazy moment. Team is in good shape compared to others.

    Would you do:
    A) Broja+Rudi to Antonio+1)Targett or 2)Coufal

    B) also Bilva to Foden now for -4?

    DDG 3.9
    TAA Rudi Cancelo Dier Tierney

      A looks ok. B is a massive sideways move. City don't have a double next gameweek and I doubt they'll pump Arsenal, I'd turn Bilva into a DGW next week.
      Remember WH won't have a DGW next gameweek so you don't want a team full of them unless you plan to FH.

          West Ham aren't great defensively but would get you some great attacking returns. Maybe Fornals? Also, remember there's a chance the United game could get called off as its not until Monday and Wolves have covid concerns. I've deffo dump Bruno!

    Bilva and Gallagher to Gray and Bowen for free is a no brainer, right?

    TAA Leporte Alonso Liv* Willy
    Bowen Gal* Saka Son Saka
    Ron Ant King

    Thinking of Alonso & Saka to Coufal & Gray for -4 for 4 DGW's

    Is it worth doing King to DCL for a -8 for possibly 5 DGW's
