Double Gameweek 20 confirmed for four teams

Following the results of this weekend’s FA Cup third-round ties, we now have a confirmed Double Gameweek 20 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Four teams will now play twice in the upcoming Gameweek: both Manchester clubs, Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.

MAN CITY AND SPURS

Neither Tottenham Hotspur nor Manchester City required a replay to settle their respective cup matches against Portsmouth and Chelsea, so their ‘provisional’ Double Gameweek 20 becomes a confirmed one.

Both sides are involved in local derbies on the weekend of January 14/15 before they meet at the Etihad on January 19.

MAN UTD AND PALACE

The doubles don’t end there.

Manchester United’s progress to round four of the FA Cup and Crystal Palace’s elimination at the hands of Southampton means that neither club will be involved in a third-round replay in the otherwise free midweek after Gameweek 20.

Their outstanding fixture at Selhurst Park has now been rerranged for that slot.

United face their cross-city rivals before heading to south London, while Palace are away at Chelsea before entertaining the Red Devils.

Further reaction will follow later this evening and tomorrow.

    City are playing United and Tot which means Rashford and Son coming down their right flank. Possible Pep plays Walker there both matches for his pace and experience?

      This is a good point. Walker played 90 in FA cup and Lewis got a rest though

        There is one more cup. Likely Lewis plays 90 minutes in the EFL and Walker gets a rest.

    Thoughts on Cucu > Dalot or Shaw?

    Think Dalot can get back to the big numbers from earlier in the season?

    Ederson
    Trippier, Botman, Cucu
    KDB, C Rashford, Martinelli, Almiron,
    Hauland, Kane, Darwin

    Ward, White, Andreas, Bueno,

                  Fair enough but they have other pieces that can chip in with goals and assists

                  I agree though it's probably a good call just going Kane.

    Please note this league will operate for this season only. This is because next season Red Lightning will reintroduce his January to May League which will effectively be a half season league. No point in duplicating particularly if FPL have their Second Chance League again.

    Not seen the words 'free' and 'hit' used much yet.

    Suspect the idea will gain traction as deadline gets closer and people start to tune back in.

      Any particular reason why? Most people have at least 3-4 players from the teams that double this week, and I can't see much reasoning to have many more. Triple City might be a mess because of rotation, triple ManUtd might not work out because Rashford is the most dependable attacker and they face City in one of their ties so I doubt too many want to double up. Most only seem to want Kane from Spurs, not sure any more than him is necessary given their form. Will be much better weeks down the line with many more teams doubling to make use of it

        I'd go along with all that, not entertaining the idea myself.

        But I think as people tinker with the options and try to get doublers in, the idea of 'sod it, get them all, free hit' will come in.

      I dunno man. I'd assume most people would have at least 4 players doubling already.

      Time will tell.

    Ramsdale / Ward
    Cancelo, Trippier, Shaw / Castagne, Patterson
    Salah, Saka, Rashford, Martinelli, Almirón
    Haaland, Kane / Greenwood

    Patterson to Lewis a no-brainer? Keep Cancelo? Downgrade and upgrade somewhere else?

    Is it prudent to sell Cancello ahead of a DGW? Could easily backfire, but the signs point to a couple of appearance points at most? Plus he is not exactly cheap...

    Plus he is likely dropping tonight which doesn't help. Seems to be the key decision this week...
