The Man City vs Palace fixture has finally been confirmed as a blank. They join Arsenal and Wolves to give us our first blank gameweek of the season.
Despite the reduced fixture list, we’ve still got games spread across three days — because of course we do.
We kick things off with Man United’s trip to Bournemouth, where the hosts have become something of an FPL hotspot in recent weeks. If Bruno Fernandes is wearing your armband, you’ll be hoping the early kick-off captaincy curse is just a myth we all tell ourselves after the damage is done.
Saturday brings four fixtures, but — rather cruelly — just one 3pm kick-off. The traditionalists will be absolutely livid. We start with Liverpool away at Brighton in the lunchtime slot, before the solitary 3pm game sees popular captain pick Harry Wilson’s Fulham welcome Burnley to the Cottage.
Into the evening, Everton take on Chelsea at 5:30pm, followed by Leeds vs Brentford at 8pm — because nothing says “prime-time entertainment” quite like that.
Sunday at 2:30pm, and it’s all about the Tyne-Wear derby (well, for me anyway). Newcastle will be looking to avenge their defeat at the Stadium of Light, and perhaps restore a bit of dignity after their midweek embarrassment at the Nou Camp. No pressure.
We then close out the gameweek with two 2:15pm kick-offs — because scheduling consistency is clearly overrated — as Villa host West Ham and Spurs face Forest.
Good luck all — you’re going to need it.

Funny how when you think you have a good team and they do really badly then you have one where you expect the worst and they get you a nice green arrow. FPL for you

All aboard the O’Reilly train? Been searching for a Chalobah replacement for a while and the answer appears!

Just rid of Nunez and not convinced I want another MC defender but keeping my eye on him.

Man… I guess 8 green arrows in a row was too much to ask for. Oh well. See y’all in a couple of weeks. Enjoy the break.
