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

  • 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

    • 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.

      Jiménez isn't prolific, he's usually good for 6 or 7 points when on song.

      Is the Leicester game too tempting or a trap?

        Depends on your team.

        I have 2 LIV an 3 ARS players this week, and will want them for DGW29 too, so I'm seriously considering using my remaining FH in 27 as I have 3 AVL for their DGW28 too.

        I can probably scrape by GW30 with a few players (there'll be a low upside with so few games on), then I have my WC to sort team for GW32-36.

        If you have no ARS this week then you can probably just bench LIV players next week and it'll be ok.

      What do you think regarding Reguilon? Could have a game in 27 and thinking about saving my FH for 28.

      A. Keep Reguilon, have Livramento as cover on bench which is likely to start.
      B. Sell for -4 (would be -12 in total). Would probably bring in Tierney, van Dijk or even Tarkowski.

      Here's a plan for you... FH26, WC28.

      FH26: Great, forget about those hits! TC saved for later, Salah slight minutes risk this gw as well.

      27: You will most likely get an XI with 1FT as you don't need to remove your United/Brighton assests this gw. They have good fixtures in WAT and AVL.

      WC28: 8 Doublers + TAA, Salah, Son

      SA (Pickford)
      SAISS, DIGNE, Trent (Cancelo v MUN, White)
      Salah Son COUT RAPH (Saka)
      BROJA JIMMY ASM

      29: 7 Doublers Save FT

      PICKFORD (lol but WOL, NEW) (Sa)
      TRENT WHITE Cancelo (Digne Saiss)
      SALAH SON SAKA Coutinho Raph
      Broja ASM

      BGW30 7 players, 8 if Soton play. 2 FT should do?

      Sa
      Saiss Digne White
      Saka Raph
      Jimmy

      GW31 Excellent fixtures, enjoy and look to save FT

      Use potential second FH, TC and BB later (33 & 36) maybe even BB/TC in 29. Thanks if you came this far I look forward to hear your comments!

      So G2G or Antonio >> Jimmy (-4)? As a Toon fan I really want Antonio to blank 🙂 should that influence me?
