Upcoming FPL Double & Blank Gameweeks

Blank Gameweek 29:

• Four teams are Confirmed to BLANK in GW29: Liverpool, Aston Villa, Newcastle United & Crystal Palace

Next FA Cup Rounds:

• The FA Cup fifth round(Rof16) will happen between GW27 and GW28
• The FA Cup Quarter Finals will happen between GW29 and GW30

Why is there no big blank gameweek this season?

This season the PL will not clash with the FA Cup Quarterfinals which means the traditionally big blank gameweek will not happen(Last time when the FA Cup QFs clashed with the PL fixtures only 4 PL fixtures happened resulting in the worst gameweek in FPL history)

Double Gameweek 32

The postponed Newcastle vs Crystal Palace game from GW29 has been added to GW32 making it a double gameweek for the two teams.

• Newcastle United vs MUN(H), CRY(H)
• Crystal Palace vs MCI(A), NEW(A)

Double Gameweek 33

A few blanks from GW34(Due to the FA Cup semi-finals clashing with GW34) could be brought forward into GW33. We’ll know about the DGW33 and BGW34 before the GW31 deadline.

• If a team is involved in UEL/UCL then their postponed GW34 fixture will most likely move to GW33
• The potential Forest vs Brentford blank(If Forest reach FA Cup Semis) is less likely to move GW33 as Forest have their scheduled GW33 fixture(vs Spurs) on Monday

Blank Gameweek 34

Premier League fixtures will still clash with the FA Cup semi-finals in GW34. The exact number of teams blanking will depend on the FA Cup results.

There could be potentially three blanks in Gameweek 34 due to the FA Cup Semi-Finals, It could be four blanks if neither Man City nor Preston win their FA Cup QF gameS.

If a club & their GW34 opponent are both knocked out of the FA Cup then both the teams will not blank in GW34. We’ll have the confirmed GW34 fixtures when the FA Cup quarterfinals are played(Before GW30 deadline)

Confirmed fixtures for GW34(As it stands):

• Liverpool vs Spurs
• Chelsea vs Everton
• Wolves vs Leicester City
• Newcastle vs Ipswich

Blank Gameweek 34 Scenarios

We will know about FPL DGW33 and BGW34 after the GW29 deadline and very likely before the GW31 deadline.

Double Gameweek 36

The last double gameweek of the season will be in GW36 with the teams blanking in GW34 and doubling in GW36(Provided that the GW34 blank is not preponed into DGW33). Additionally, If a team reaches the FA Cup final it might result in the GW37 fixture moving into GW36. It can also stay in GW37 by moving to the midweek between GW37 & GW38.

Summary of upcoming FPL Double/Blank Gameweeks:

• BGW29: Blank gameweek for Liverpool, Aston Villa, Newcastle United & Crystal Palace
• DGW33: Double gameweek that will have some added fixtures from the blanks in Gameweek 34
• BGW34: This gameweek clashes with the FA Cup Semi-finals & the teams reaching the SFs will blank in GW34, expected three to four blank fixtures
• DGW36: Teams blanking in GW34 will then double in GW36(Provided the fixture is not preponed into GW33), if a team reaches the FA Cup final it might result in their GW37 fixture moving into GW36. It can also stay in GW37 by moving to the midweek between GW37 and GW38.
