What the FA Cup results mean for FPL - Fantasy Football Community

We take a look at what the FA Cup results mean for FPL. The FA Cup results usually have huge implications for Fantasy Premier League managers. They can have a massive affect on how the schedule looks but also how managers plan for it in regards to transfers, chip strategy and captaincy.

Four Premier League sides were involved in FA Cup replays on Tuesday, with Luton Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers advancing into the fourth round.

West Ham United and Brentford have both exited, however, which has implications for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Blank Gameweek 29.

Busy Bees

With both sides out of the FA Cup, Burnley v Brentford is the first fixture to be confirmed as a non-blank in Gameweek 29.

As a result, Brentford will have six fixtures between Double Gameweek 25 and 29.

Ivan Toney (£7.9m) will make his comeback against Nottingham Forest this weekend, so expect interest to ramp up.

Another fixture on

West Ham’s surprise loss at Bristol City is important, too.

That’s because either Arsenal v Chelsea or Aston Villa v West Ham will now go ahead in Blank Gameweek 29.
