Previous blank & double gameweeks
Gameweek 2: Blank Gameweek
- Teams that do not play: Luton, Burnley (the match was postponed)
Strategy for next blank gameweeks
- The nearest double gameweek will be in Gameweek 7 when Burnley and Luton play twice. Do not tear your team apart just to bring in some of their players, as you would be stuck with them for a long term. It will be totally fine to go with 0 Burnley and Luton players into Gameweek 7. Although if you have Kaboré, Bell or Morris, play them in double gameweek 7. If you have Joao Pedro, you could replace him with Morris.
- Manchester City’s blank against Brentford in GW18 means, they will have a smaller double gameweek later in the season, which could be an opportunity to triple captain Haaland.
