Blank and Double Gameweek discussion 2019/2020

Fcuking Spurs!

Confirmed GW 31 Fixtures
Liverpool Palace
Wolves Bournemouth
Burnley Watford
Spurs West ham

Confirmed GW 34 Fixtures
West Ham Burnley
Brighton Liverpool
Bournemouth Spurs
Everton Southampton
Of the above 8 teams Brighton, Everton and southampton may end up with a DGW34 the rest cant have one.

City Newcastle is off and both these teams will have a game the midweek so no blank and no double

Palace Chelsea will be off if Chelsea beat Leicester. If Chelsea lose both palace and Chelsea could have a double

Watford Norwich will be off if Norwich beat UTD/Derby. If Norwich lose they could have a double Watford cant have a double but could end up with a blank.

Arsenal Leicester will be off if either win their FA QF. Neither will have a Blank both could end up with a double if both lose FA QF

Sheff Utd Wolves will be off if Sheff Utd beat Arsenal. If Arsenal win Sheff Utd very likely to have a double. Wolves cant have a double in 34 but could end up with a blank.

Villa Utd will be off if Utd beat derby and Norwich. If utd get knocked out of Fa Cup both teams are highly likely to have a dgw 34 and highly unlikely to have a blank.

Their is a free midweek after the FA cup SF so some of the cancelled games will just move to the midweek after and remain in the same GW.

It's great to have you back busts

Nice bit of chaos thrown in there with Spurs losing. I think that will annoy a lot of rivals who might have DCL and Cantwell, maybe others and were banking on them for 31. Less likely to have Spurs and WH assets i imagine.

West Ham are leaky away, there might be one or two Spurs assets worth looking at, will have a look at least.

I've gone back and forth but think FH31 is what I'm doing. Some will say the fixtures aren't appealing but the likes of Jota, Mane, Doherty, a possible Spurs player, Sarr, Pope.. all players I don't have who i think could return well

KDB missed tonight through injury and is a doubt for the weekend.

Certainly throws a spanner into the works.

I thought as much

Is anyone in the same boat as myself having used WC but have everything else left and are not planning to FH in 31? Currently have 5 for 31 but can take -4 next 3 gws to get 11 out for 31 without using FH. Plan on using TC and BB in DGWs is there likely to be only 2 DGWs or possibly a 3rd that I can use FH

There could be a third dgw but it would probably only be villa and sheff utd.

I'm finding it hard to justify free hitting for those teams. I think I'll ride out gw31 with 8 or 9 players and save it for a double week.

yes but will we ever have a double gameweek where there is more than 2-4 teams with an extra game? Everyone seems to be waiting for this monster gameweek that never comes.

Think alot of people will get stung by trying to be clever with their chips. And this is coming from someone with BB, FH and WC left.

I have 7 players for Gameweek 31, 3 Liverpool, 2 Burnley, 2 Wolves. No plans to free hit. If I go 11 for Gameweek 31, I will take hits. Not a big fan of Spurs vs West Ham so may just add an extra player or two from the other matches.

The matches that are on don’t scream Free Hit to me for 31.

Any idea when the GW34 fixtures will be confirmed? Is it dependent on the results of the next round of the FA Cup?

Ye dont think they will announce them till after GW 31.

When you planning on using your FH then? I've Fh,BB and TC left and 5 players for 31 but can get to 11 with (-12) over the next 3 weeks

11 players may not be much of an advantage for 31 outside liverpool and wolves there will be a fair few 2 pointers around and without your 2nd wc your hurting yourself for 34

I think if you have 3 Pool and 3 Wolves and those Wolves players contain really good Wolves assets (prob 3 of Doherty, Saiss, Boly, Jimi, Jota) and one more player, I can see why you don't want to FH.

The problem is for people like me who have Dendonker as one of their Wolves players. This totally hamstrings me he likely won't play or if he does will return nothing and you want 3 strong Wolves players, so I'd actually have to use a transfer taking one of my only confirmed players out.

Not really willing to take hits for one week only. Not willing to sacrifice a transfer this week and getting PEA in to prepare for 31.

This essentially means I will have only 7 players for 31 if I don't FH. I could easily see myself losing 10 points or more to the average non-FHer on 31.

Whereas if I play the FH I get the ideal 11, I hope that the likes of Mane can deliver as a differential, and that I instead make 10-15 points on the non-FHer.

Enables me to relax for the next GW transferring in who I want.

It's all dependent on your team, I can understand why people aren't using FH, but to say it's a definite waste and not an attractive week is wrong imo, you have some games there where you can definitely hope for home cleanies and home goals. There's enough options there.

I'm coming round to the idea of going with 8 possible starters in gw31 and just hoping for the best. It's a bogus gw with very little obvious value outside of Liverpool and Wolves. Then i have FH for dgw37 and can put out a Rolls Royce lineup without having the stress of having to plan for it.

If you have already used your wildcard its the best option.
