Fantasy Premier League: The iSoccer February Mini-League

With Fulham v Tottenham Hotspur drawing Gameweek 21 to a close, the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) will take a brief pause for almost a fortnight (two weeks).

By the time the Gameweek 22 deadline comes around on Friday 3 February, we’ll know a lot more about the Blank/Double Gameweek picture. This is because results of upcoming FA Cup and Carabao Cup ties will have a big say on how the Premier League fixtures will fall around them.

The first situation to be resolved will involve a “potential” Double Gameweek 22 involving Manchester United and Leeds.

If both sides avoid the need for an FA Cup fourth-round replay, there will be a Double Gameweek in GW22. And given that they face Reading and Accrington Stanley/Boreham Wood in their upcoming FA Cup ties respectively, there’s a decent chance of that happening.

Meanwhile, there’s also a possibility of the much-dreaded Blank Gameweek in the coming weeks.

Manchester United, Newcastle United, Southampton, Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Brighton and Hove Albion, Leeds United, West Ham United could all have their scheduled Gameweek 25 fixtures postponed depending on the results of the EFL Cup semi-finals.

Newcastle United and Manchester United are the bookies’ favourites to progress to the EFL Cup final, which happens to fall on the same weekend as Gameweek 25.

Another Blank Gameweek?

More will also be known about Blank Gameweek 28 – which clashes with the FA Cup quarter-finals – after FA Cup fourth-round weekend. However, that will still be far from the full picture.

We’ll only know the full extent of Blank Gameweek 28 after Gameweek 25, when the FA Cup fifth round has taken place.

Nevertheless, we could get one or two Premier League fixtures soon confirmed as going ahead.

For example, if Arsenal are dumped out of the FA Cup by Manchester City at the Etihad this Friday, their Gameweek 28 clash with Crystal Palace will proceed as planned (the Eagles are already out of the cup):

There’s so much to pay attention to as we head into the crunch period of the FPL season!
