The replays from the 5th Round of the FA Cup have been completed and Swansea City and Tottenham have moved into the 6th Round. The 4 Quarter Final matches will be played the weekend of March 17/18. This should result in a BGW involving 8 teams, 7 from the EPL. If this the case, there will only be 4 matches in GW 31.
As of this writing, the final match from GW 28 between Arsenal and Manchester City has yet to be played. Continue reading
Although it was a week without EPL action, the FA Cup, Champions League, and Europa League competitions filled the void. Three different competitions were available to satisfy our football needs.
Two matches in the FA Cup resulted in surprise results. First Tottenham was tied by Rochdale and then the big shocker came when Manchester City was beaten by Wigan. The first piece of hardware falls by the wayside.
I was of the opinion that since the Spurs would be involved in a replay, and the chance that a win would put them into the 6th Round of FA Cup play, that their GW 31 match would be a blank. That is not what the FPL site schedule shows, so someone knows more than I do I suppose. Continue reading

Keep in mind that 7 EPL teams were in action midweek due to League Cup matches. It appears that most of the squads were composed of regulars and reserves. I am not aware of injuries at the moment, but please do your due diligence on that front. Continue reading

Defenders in FPL are often overlooked and not particularly recognised as the hotspot of points in managers’ teams. However, defenders usually offer the most points per million pounds spent and thus offer the most value for money. Moreover, many teams get more clean sheets in the second half of the season meaning the right defender will score more points after game week 19 than before game week 19. In this article I’m going to look at the potential of gaining a big mass of points from a collection of relatively low-cost players. Continue reading
