Newcastle, Man Utd, Brighton and Brentford to blank in FPL Gameweek 25

Victories for Newcastle United and Manchester United in the midweek EFL Cup semi-finals mean that those two teams plus Brentford and Brighton and Hove Albion will now blank in Gameweek 25.

The EFL Cup final on February 26 causes a clash with Man Utd v Brentford and Newcastle v Brighton in Gameweek 25, so those two scheduled Premier League games fall by the wayside.

BRENTFORD, BRIGHTON, MAN UTD AND NEWCASTLE’S FIXTURES

Here are the upcoming fixture runs for the four Gameweek 25 ‘blankers’:

In addition to the above, Brentford, Brighton and Manchester United could (in fact, very likely) all blank in Gameweek 28 due to the clash with the FA Cup quarter-finals.

We’ll know that for sure ahead of the Gameweek 26 deadline.

HOW GAMEWEEK 25 LOOKS

Here’s how Gameweek 25 will look with the two aforementioned fixtures now postponed:

There is the possibility that two other fixtures get added to create a ‘double’.

Liverpool v Wolves, Arsenal v Everton and Chelsea v Liverpool are the only three outstanding matches that could go in the midweek after Gameweek 25 (when the FA Cup fifth round is taking place), but the latter looks less likely due to it being a TV pick originally and the game would be going up against a televised cup game.

      FPL Towers aren't in the office yet. They arrive at 9:00, chat and have coffee for an hour, then at 10:00 they begin their daily tournament of office golf. So if you're lucky, maybe around 14:00 after they've had their 2-hour lunch break.

          FantasyClub: Come on FFS. You should see your faces!

          FFS: There are many players in this league that could be benched, FantasyClub, and none of them should be Haaland!

      Spurs aren't the best defensively, and he's the best player in the game. It's madness. Someone on here benched Haaland last GW.... don't make the same mistake.

      Is there someone else you can bench for Toney?

        Twas I! And Natedogg. Thought City were looking poor & there was maybe an opportunity to bet against him, but I guess form doesn't really apply to Haaland.

        I'm not keen to do it again v Spurs (may bench Kane though if I WC), but it certainly wasn't "season-ending" as some people like to say. The rest of my team did pretty well & I accept that the deep squad I have is going to leave points on the bench, that's fine as long as my starting 11 are firing.

          Oh, there were two of you!

          Yeah, people like to overexaggerate. It was a blow, but you can recover.

          Don't bench Kane you madman.

            I know there's a similar element to this decision - even if Spurs are rubbish he'll score. But still...?

                Sad to bench Mitoma, but I guess I'd have to in 23 at least. Maybe one of the downsides of this WC structure, although it should get a little more flexible after moving Bruno out

    Yet another night where the Wisdom Fairy hasn't whispered me whom to pick from Mitoma or Fernandes for my last FT. Might as well take the hit for both if I don't see her before deadline.

    These next few weeks will be crucial for the dedicated F/F managers. Great time to leapfrog managers in their mini leagues and improve their overall rank against the ( casual, hate that term 😀 ) managers who only log on at 17.00 on a Friday night…

    Thoughts on double Arsenal defence for the DGW? White, Gabriel, Saka

    I know double attack is better, but hard for be to do without selling non-blanking players, and I wouldn't be able to get Saka. And need secure starters for GW28

    Kepa
    Trippier - Shaw - White
    KDB - Rashford - Martinelli - Mitoma
    Haaland - Kane - Mitrovic

    Definitely want Cancelo out and adding a third arsenal. Maybe Cancelo & Andreas --> Ake & Odegaard (bench Mitro)?

      On paper B imo, because Rodrigo is a better FPL asset, atm. But can't go wrong either way.

    I'll be interested to see how FPL price Enzo Fernández, he's a big money signing but as a centre mid surely his price will not be too extortionate. 7.5 maybe?

    Navas might turn out to be a great little FPL asset.

    Wait and see on Pedro porro

    which would be a higher priority:

    2) Gnonto w/ Double GW
