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

Fantasy community eyes Burnley clean sheet in first Double Gameweek match
  • 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.

      Thoughts on below moves this gw for -4.

      DDG
      Reguilon - Cancelo - TAA
      Son - Bruno - Jota - Foden - Bowen
      Broja - King

      (Foster) - Antonio - Lamptey - Livra

      Jota + Bruno + DDG > Saka + Salah(TC) + Ramsdale. Could keep DDG and do Livra > White instead

          This is what I did. Actually was going to go for Kilman but was 0.1m short, so in came White.

              For that specific permutation, because he was cheap. Antonio 0.1m drop affected him.

              Its not so cut and dry, alot will be to do with the cup runs. In any normal year, we wouldnt be having all these extra games, and we still have a big double in 36.

              These doubles are catching up on missed games, its just we dont know what the doubles will be for 36, but there should be ones.

      Will Livramento play? Soton looking good going forward, but not defensively

        Perraud & KWP have been playing well, I don't think we can rely on Livra anymore.

      Considering the fixtures, wouldn't say it is so hard to navigate DGW 28 and 29 without WC, thoughts?

        Exactly my thoughts. Using WC to bring in mediocre players doesn't feel right. Save it for GW31 or later.

      As someone with all chips intact, think i'll go with this:

      GW26 - 8 doublers, maybe take a -4 for 9
      GW27 - have 11 players, field them as they are
      GW28 - WC to maximize both GW28 and 29
      GW29 - BB
      GW30 - FH

      and second FH should be used for whatever need occurs after GW30. Good plan?
