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

  • 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

  • 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.

        Verty tempting for me, as I have only Watford players with DGW. Can survive GW27 without FH. Already have more DGW in 29 so just add 2-3 more and its fine.

      Thinking this

      GW 26 - TC
      GW 27 - 2 transfers to field 11
      GW28 - FH
      GW29 - Wildcard

      Still got that massive DGW to use bench boost just before end of the season and GW 28 also sets you up for new fixtures such as Chelsea.

      Are we absolutely sure that FH cannot be used twice in a row? I thought that rule was in place only up to GW20, or up to new years fixtures, cant remember exactly

        You could sell Bruno instead of Jota as don’t have arsenal to worry about benching in 27

          Wasn't planning to FH27 - ditching VDV next week gives me 11 (Ramsdale, Trent, Salah, Saka on the bench)

      Loud noises!

      Flirting with a Wildcard:

      Ramsdale | Foster
      Trent | VVD | Kilman | Digne | Schar
      Salah | Son | Raphinha | Coutinho | Saka
      Lacazette | Jimenez | Broja

      GW26 - 10 DGW + Coutinho
      GW27 - FH
      GW28 - 8 DGW + TAA, VVD, Son, Salah (potential BB)
      GW29 - 8 DGW
      GW30 - 8 players

      Save 2 transfers for GW 30 to add two Leicester players.

      Thoughts? Obviously no Salah TC is the kicker...

        Dont see the point getting a NUFC defender for the double-double. Surely they are conceding vs CHE on GW29. I would rather double up WOL with Coady/Semedo/Saiss to save a transfer for GW30.

        schar? Dont u think ur just shoving in players just becuase they have dgw. Think the likes of cancelo and bowen can still outscore dgw players. Plus I wouldnt have double arsenal attackers...we are more of a defensive side

        Ha yes I concede that Schar isn't the greatest pick - unfortunately can't fit in ASM, Trippier is injured and until Willock starts firing there aren't any genuine options in midfield - as a Newcastle fan I need to let some bias in!

      If you don't triple captain Salah this week, realistic what other decent options do you think there are left this season? Son's double in 29?

        Large numbers of people on here already wildcarded or Free Hit towards this TC week, so not an unbiased crowd! I'm doing nothing too apart from TC, and wildcarding 28.

      On WC, which would you prefer?

      A) Son, VVD
      B) Mane, Coady

      1) Saka, Kane
      2) Son, Laca

      It is two seperate drafts so I'm not going to double up Son and Kane in any case.

        Being criminally underlooked to be honest.

        Had basically a week off after AFCON. Diaz has been good and will steal minutes but there are cup games for Mane to be rested or rotated later.
