Double Gameweek Planning

In the spreadsheet Ziegler posted yer man had the midweek of 16/17 Feb (GW26) marked as potential FA Cup replays. This is the midweek the CL starts up again, and while there is a rule that no midweek PL games are played that week I doubt that applies to Cup replays. So if Liverpool have a cup replay it could possibly happen then with the league game in GW25.

City don't play Kiev in the CL till the following week 24th Feb. So if they draw with Villa in FA Cup it may also be possible to have that replay in GW26 also.

In other words, if Cup replays can happen the same week as CL games the PL could refix a potential Liverpool and City league games for GW25 tomorrow morning and then in the event of an FA Cup replay for either cross that bridge after 30th Jan and fix for GW26.

Hows that for obsessive fixture analysis.....

Oh right I didn't read that spreadsheet going by the post's above I was assuming the replays had to be midweek of Feb 9.
Liverpool play in augsburg Feb 18 the midweek of gw 26 so that's not a runner for an FA cup replay. So Liverpool would have to have a replay midweek of 25.

Forgot about Europa. It was a good theory while it lasted!

If Liverpool draw in the FA Cup ther'll be serious fixture congestion for them!

Yup mine too! Fair play to the lads for breaking it down! I presume things will become a bit clearer tonight once the LC finalists are known.

The blank will still happen in gw27 as the carling cup final is on. Potentially Liverpool Everton could be rescheduled for gw 30 if both are out of the FA Cup. However whatever game they are due to have in gw 30 would then be moved to gw 34 giving us a double then.

A few years back the same thing happened, League Cup finalists were due to play the same weekend in the league and had a blank the week before (Swans/Liv). THey played that game the week before so GW27 was a full 10-game week, with games split over 7 days. Unlikely to happen this year tho.

We'll know all on Monday.

Ye I remember that. I was thinking you meant the games going to qf week gw 30 but you mean 5th Rd which is the weekend between gw 26 and 27. That is a possibility if both Everton and Liverpool lose. Would that be classed as gw 26 or gw 27.

Yeah Sanchez.

If you're gonna do it this week consider doing it now. Kdb dropping in value tonight and possibly a 3rd drop by next GW.

Done, I'm potentially considering ozil to either firminho or silva. What you reckon. Not this week but soon

Keep tabs on Ozil. He shouldn't drop tonight but definitely will before next GW. Depends on the double GW coming up. I'd want Silva for that.

ElTel

Guys is it now as straightforward as there will be a DGW 25 for Liverpool and Everton if they both win in the FA cup this weekend?

PARlance

I have a spare 0.1 to lose on KDB and Ozil. Hopefully I'll have figured out what the hell is going on by then.

Iused2likebusts

raging about that kdb injury. Massive let off for those without him if there is a dgw25.

I thought it was already more than likely to happen based on last night? But I haven't researched it properly. My reading of it was Liverpool-Everton league game would be postponed and when refixed, it'd be a DGW for both?

Regards MF plans.
If GW 25 is confirmed a double for City-Pool-Everton.

I already have Silva for City cover. He'd be my shout for a direct KBD replacement.

Would sell Ozil for Firmino.

Then after a little rejig in defence, sell Firmino for Sanchez after the DGW.

To leave me with:
Mahrez-Silva-Sanchez-Alli-Payet.

Is it after the Fa Cup draw when we'll know for certain?

Won't be making any moves on it until it's confirmed either way. I may go about selling a premium defender to start freeing up some funds.

I'd like to echo this sentiment, great work done by all....I'm pretending to know what's going on but afraid to ask any stupid noob questions

I transferred KDB out for Sanchez last night as soon as I heard he was stretchered off.....not sure if that was the act of a cunning genius or a reactionary eejit

Premier League ‏@premierleague
(1/2) Liverpool v Everton and Newcastle v Man City, two #BPL fixtures in February, have been postponed because of the Capital One Cup final.

(2/2) Liverpool v Everton and Newcastle v Man City were originally scheduled for Sunday 28 February. A new date will be given in due course.

Lads and ladettes, I've seen so much mention of a potential DGW in wk25, but it's GW24 coming right up, how am I meant to prepare for that at such short notice? When will they update the fixtures on the main site? Anyone know? I'm starting to panic!!

It's unlikely that there will be a dgw25.
The gw27 games will likely be postponed to after the blank.

Just hold off on transfers till Monday if it's not announced by then it won't be happening.

Ha, afraid not buddy! My beloved Liverpool are playing the hammers in the cup tomorrow, I was aware of that fact! My main concern is that my team is losing value big style and come Tuesday night it'll be alot worse, just trying to figure out who to take in for KDB that's all! Ideally i'll want someone with a DGW if that is in fact happening!

I'm banking this week whether there is news or not, I wanna be in a position that when they announce news I'm 1 transfer ahead of even the people who will be aware of this, probably a few ahead of those whose heads it will go over.
