    When has Jose EVER protected a player ?

    It won’t happen. Son and Kane play 90 minutes, if available, in all 3 of those matches.

    For the latter I agree, Son I’d be 50/50 on that. But it’s not just about them being rested anyway. If he rests other players their percentage chance of return diminished significantly anyway.

    They don’t appear to be a squad that can rest a few guys and can still carry an attacking threat. They have to be absolutely on it to even have a chance of scoring 2 goals in a game usually.

    He’s protected Dele Alli from getting an injury for most of the season :pac:

    Great. Just when I thought there was absolutely no reason whatsoever not to TC Kane this week...


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,638 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007



    Would they not just push the games into 36, instead of having it as a blank for FF.

    When would all that be finalized? Can't see how it would be fair to have a DGW followed by a BGW when majority of playing have played chips.

    There is only a max of 4 teams blanking. The 2 cup finalists and their opponents. If the final is Chelsea v Leicester they will be the only 2 teams blanking. These blanks go into GW35.

    I think Ben crellin spelled it out on twitter that all these new DGW fixtures are a bit meh. Wilf Zaha will be the best option for your TC then probably ha ha

    Part of me was hoping Villa V Everton would be rescheduled for GW34, would leave the following doubles:

    Villa V EVE eve
    Everton V avl AVL


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,609 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Still have a free hit chip left which would be perfect for this. Had intended using it for the City and Spurs BGW but reckon it might be better to hold off now


  • Registered Users Posts: 849 ✭✭✭IrishLad90


    Not feeling too hot on next GW with 3 City + 3 Spurs having a blank GW

    Are there any more double game weeks?

    I somehow missed that Spurs had a double this week.

    I have bench boost, triple captain and 2nd wild card left to use..

    GW35 looks like a big double gameweek.

    Let's pretend that I've been paying very little attention to FPL recently, but am I right in saying there's another unexpected DGW coming up soon? If so, and I haven't completely imagined it, would someone be so kind as to either point me in the direction of what's supposed to be happening or tell me? Please and thanks :)

    I've got a WC, TC Chip and a desire to go Full Prodston for the rest of the season...

    This DGW/BGW will be tough to navigate. Have 5 players who wouldnt play in 36 if Bens chart proves correct but I dont want to sell any of them.

    Yea it's a right pain, where is the Leicester/Chelsea league game going to be played given they are in the cup that weekend?

    I’m boarding the Prodston train to nowhere! I’m in the same shape with wildcard and tc so was wondering how I can decimate my fantasy team more in one go!

    Build your team full of players who will double in 35 (looks like Aston Villa, Everton, Southampton, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal is the list I believe) and then wildcard in 36 to have players that have a game in 36 but will also set up to finish well in 37 and 38.


  • Registered Users Posts: 849 ✭✭✭IrishLad90


    Not a strong GW. Vardy to play but my team has massive gaps this week


  • Registered Users Posts: 723 ✭✭✭PhilipsR


    Surely all the fixture movements will be announced before the deadline this weekend...
