United States How FPL Blank Gameweek 29 looks after the FA Cup replays
The results of the midweek FA Cup fourth-round replays are significant for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.
The quarter-finals of the FA Cup are on the same weekend as Gameweek 29, so there’ll be scheduled league fixtures postponed as a result of that clash.
And with many of the surviving big boys being given favourable draws in the round of 16, it could be quite a big Blank Gameweek.
But Chelsea’s win over Aston Villa on Wednesday means that we now know three Premier League fixtures will go ahead as planned.
Here’s the lowdown.
FA CUP FIFTH ROUND DRAW
- Blackburn vs Newcastle
- Chelsea vs Leeds
- Bournemouth vs Leicester
- Liverpool vs Southampton
- Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
- Wolves vs Brighton
- Coventry vs Maidstone
- Luton vs Manchester City

FPL BLANK GAMEWEEK 29 SUMMARY
So, three Gameweek 29 fixtures are confirmed as unaffected by the FA Cup clash that weekend.
It’s very plausible that we get as many as six blanks, with seven being the maximum.
If all goes to plan in terms of the bookies’ favourites, the following fixtures will be the only ones going ahead in Gameweek 29:
- Fulham v Spurs
- Burnley v Brentford
- West Ham v Aston Villa
- Luton v Nottm Forest
To get seven blanks, we’d need to see wins for Newcastle, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Brighton, Man Utd and Luton in the FA Cup fifth round.
WHEN WILL WE KNOW FOR SURE WHICH GAMEWEEK 29 FIXTURES ARE GOING AHEAD?
We won’t know about the confirmed blanks until the midweek before Gameweek 27, when the FA Cup fifth round takes place.
