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 28 FIXTURES

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 29 FIXTURES

TEAMS WITH THE MOST FIXTURES OUTSTANDING

  • Leicester (3)
  • Arsenal, Burnley, Chelsea, Everton (2)
  • Aston Villa, Norwich, Spurs (1)
  • Brighton, Brentford, Crystal Palace, Leeds, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Newcastle, Southampton, Watford, West Ham, Wolves (0)
OUTSTANDING GAMES:

  • Aston Villa v Burnley

  • Everton v Leicester City

  • Burnley v Everton

  • Leicester City v Norwich

  • Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal

  • Chelsea v Arsenal

  • Chelsea v Leicester City

    • 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.

      Did Livramento get a couple of benchings before he got injured? We can't rely on him to start both games in a double, really, can we?

      I'm not planning on buying, just debating whether or not to sell.

        KWP and Perraud look to have nailed down the FB spots in his absence it seems. Could get some starts here and there as he returns to full fitness (fingers crossed for 27)

          That's what I figured, and I'd need him to play in 27. I'll probably sell him instead of Coufal, although he got hauled off after getting roasted by Harvey Barnes...

      Salah and Jiminez coming in for Jota and Ronaldo looks like a no brainier for a -4

      But then Regulion looks unlikely to play. And Broja now has a double

      So is it worth a -8 to change the plan for
      Regulion Jota Ronaldo -> Robbo Salah Broja?

      TC Salah postponed to DGW29 now.

      - Frustratingly, he loves playing Arsenal
      - Less risk of minutes management (after cup final and UCL second leg)
      - Will be massive differential move as many will still TC him this week despite the risk of managed minutes

          Indeed. Play safe if you want, but I think just captaining him this week and TC him later could work.

      Many will WC in 28 now, with the intention to FH in 29 and 30.

      Remember gw30 (big blank) and 33 (blank + double) are much harder to navigate imo, so those patient enough to hold onto their chips will be the winners imo.

      Fwiw I'm still liking the idea to dead end my team in 30 and WC 31 or much later
