What do the FA Cup results mean for Double Gameweek 33?
Now that the FA Cup quarter-finals are over, we can confirm how FPL Double Gameweek 33 will look for all 20 teams.
FA Cup results
Firstly, these are the weekend’s FA Cup quarter-final results, happening alongside the four matches of FPL Blank Gameweek 30.
Then, the semi-final draw pitted Man City against Liverpool and Chelsea with Crystal Palace. These take place on the weekend of Gameweek 33.
Double Gameweek ramifications
Tuesday’s announcement saw games-in-hand being rescheduled to create a Double Gameweek 33 for ten teams. Now, three of these sides have already seen theirs shorten into a single match.
Leeds vs Chelsea is off, giving Leeds a Blank Gameweek 33 and Chelsea a solitary match vs Arsenal (H).
Aston Villa vs Liverpool is off, giving Aston Villa a Blank Gameweek 33 and Liverpool a solitary match vs Man United (H).
Wolves vs Man City is off, giving Wolves a Blank Gameweek 33 and Man City a solitary match vs Brighton (H).
Therefore, using the season ticker from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, these are the team-by-team Gameweek 33 fixtures, supposedly ranked from easiest to hardest.
Seven teams play twice, ten participate once and three teams aren’t involved at all.
There could be a rise in popularity for Leicester’s Harvey Barnes and James Maddison, plus Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin. Furtheremore, those about to give up on Southampton and Burnley assets may now hold on a bit longer.
There are strong single Gameweek fixtures for West Ham, Man City and Spurs. However, names like Philippe Coutinho, Jacob Ramsey, Raphinha, Raul Jimenez and Conor Coady will not play.
Gameweek 37
Finally, the FA Cup takes place on the weekend of Gameweek 37. This means that two of West Ham vs Man City, Southampton vs Liverpool, Man United vs Chelsea and Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace will not take place. They will be added to the list of nine matches that currently await a rescheduling.
