Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers’ plans were thrown into further disarray on Friday afternoon with the announcement of two more Double Gameweeks.

Double Gameweek 28 will feature two fixtures for Aston Villa, Leeds United, Newcastle United, Southampton, Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Double Gameweek 29 will involve Arsenal, Brighton and Hove Albion, Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur playing twice.

Only one side – Newcastle – have back-to-back doubles in Gameweeks 28 and 29, so 11 different clubs are affected.

Only seven outstanding fixtures now remain unscheduled but more will have to be rearranged as a result of the clash with the FA Cup in Gameweeks 30 and 33.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 29 FIXTURES

TEAMS WITH THE MOST FIXTURES OUTSTANDING

    • The above outstanding matches will have to be fulfilled from Gameweek 31 onwards.

    DOUBLE GAMEWEEK OUTLOOK

    • Double Gameweeks 28 and 29 announced: Liverpool among 11 teams affected
    • Gameweek 26: A Double Gameweek for Arsenal, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Leeds, Liverpool, Spurs, Watford and Wolves.
    • Gameweek 27: A Double Gameweek for Burnley. Three sides, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, blank.
    • Gameweek 28: A Double Gameweek for Aston Villa, Leeds United, Newcastle United, Southampton, Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
    • Gameweek 29: A Double Gameweek for Arsenal, Brighton and Hove Albion, Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.
    • Gameweek 30: No chance of a Double Gameweek and a near-certain chance of it being a Blank Gameweek, as it will clash with the FA Cup quarter-finals. Aston Villa v Arsenal, Wolves v Leeds and Leicester v Brentford are the only fixtures that so far will definitely go ahead.
    • Gameweek 33: A free midweek does allow for a Double Gameweek, although the weekend games do clash with the FA Cup semi-finals, too.
    • Gameweek 36: A free midweek allows for a Double Gameweek. This is likely to be the biggest Double Gameweek of the season.

    There is also a chance of there being other small Double Gameweeks in Gameweeks 31, 32, 34, 35 and 37, with the results of cup competitions home and abroad likely to dictate that.

      This changes everything. Think I will try to field 10-11 in 27 with a hit and FH in 28.

        I had planned FH27 but not thinking FH28 is the go…

        GW27 team would be:

        DDG
        Cancelo Dawson Livramento
        Foden Bowen
        Ronaldo King Dennis

        Could get 10 with FT or 11 with a hit

        I think it depends on your team. Almost 40% of my team value is tied up in Liverpool and arsenal players. Besides jota I don't want to sell any of them. Think i'll FH in 27 so I can use that money elsewhere

      Best option for Jota. FH in 28 is the plan

      A. Zaha. double now and BUR in 27
      B. Saka. Great double now and double in 29. Would mean extra hit in gw 27.
      C. Cornet. Double now and in 27. But poor offensive team.
