Here’s our Sky Sports Fantasy Football article where we look at the FFGeek team and plan ahead for the blank and double gameweeks
Sky Sports Fantasy Football – planning ahead for the blanks and doubles
THE FFGEEK TEAM
My good luck streak has yet to be broken at the moment and I’m still in a good position with an overall rank of 170 and 13 transfers left. In this article I’m going to try and work out how to best navigate the blank gameweeks where games are postponed due to the domestic cups. Those postponed games will end up in double gameweeks where teams play twice in the gameweek. With captains for each day of the gameweek this is a crucial period to navigate successfully
Points 1752 Overall rank 170 Transfers left 13
BACKGROUND
GW29
The following fixtures have been removed and will need to be rescheduled:
Southampton v Arsenal
Man City v Man Utd
GW31
GW31 is FA Cup quarter final week. Games involving teams in the quarters will be postponed leading to a much reduced fixture list. In fact only 4 confirmed at the moment
Definitely staying in GW31 as both teams out of FA Cup
Bournemouth v West Ham
Everton v West Brom
Hull v Swansea
Liverpool v Burnley
Subject to a replay
Man City v Stoke (Man City v Huddersfield replay is 28 Feb) – Stoke are out of the FA Cup. Man City need to lose the replay for the fixture to stand
Should be removed from the gameweek as teams have progressed to the quarters
Middlesbrough v Sunderland – Middlesborough are through to the quarters
Chelsea v Watford – Chelsea are through to the quarters
Southampton v Man Utd – Man Utd are through to the quarters
Crystal Palace v Spurs – Spurs are through to the quarters
Arsenal v Leicester – Arsenal are through to the quarters
HOW THE FFGEEK TEAM LOOKS FOR THE BLANKS and TRANSFERS
Here’s a schedule which calculates how many players are playing in the key game weeks and how many transfers are required to get in that
Hope fully I’ve done this right but according to the schedule I use 11 transfers to have 10 for GW29, 8 for GW31 and 11 for double gameweeks ahead. I’m leaving Ibrahimovic in for the home game in GW30 against Bournemouth. Kane and Alonso I’m also not replacing in GW31.
