"No one ever said navigating an FPL season was easy - and this year's run-in might be one of the most chaotic yet, writes Fantasy Premier League expert Blake Hurst. Between the EFL Cup, FA Cup and European competitions, the Premier League schedule is heading for a minefield of blanks and doubles. But for savvy managers, chaos equals opportunity. If you plan your chips right, you can turn fixture disruption into your biggest advantage."
"Gameweek 31: Expect four blanks due to the EFL Cup final. At present, Arsenal and Manchester City are favourites to reach it, meaning Arsenal (vs Wolves) and Man City (vs Crystal Palace) would blank. Gameweek 26 potential double: If Arsenal reach the final, their postponed GW31 fixture could shift forward to GW26. That would give us our first Double Gameweek (DGW) of the season: - Arsenal: vs Brentford & Wolves - Wolves: vs Nottingham Forest & Arsenal"
"Gameweek 34: This could be the big blank if four Premier League clubs make the FA Cup semi-finals, resulting in up to eight teams missing that week. Gameweek 33: Likely to host the largest Double Gameweek (6-8 teams) as rescheduled fixtures from GW34 slot in. Gameweek 36: Could bring another double - especially for Manchester City if deep cup runs cause fixture delays. An appealing potential double of Brentford & Burnley is on the cards for them."
Fixture congestion from the EFL Cup, FA Cup and European ties will create multiple blank and double gameweeks late in the season. Gameweek 31 is likely to see four blanks because Arsenal and Manchester City could be involved in the EFL Cup final; a postponed Arsenal fixture could create a double in Gameweek 26. Gameweek 33 could host the largest double as GW34 fixtures are rescheduled, while GW34 itself may suffer mass blanks if four teams reach FA Cup semis. Gameweek 36 may also produce doubles, notably for Manchester City. Timed use of chips, especially the Wildcard, can exploit these patterns.
