Manchester United’s victory over Chelsea on Monday evening and the subsequent FA Cup quarter-final draw means that we finally know the full extent of Blank Gameweek 31.
Just five Premier League matches will take place that weekend as a result of the clash with the FA Cup quarter-finals and ten clubs will be without a league fixture. For now, this is how things look:
Blank Gameweek 27 – four Premier League teams do not play
Blank Gameweek 31 – five Premier League fixtures will be contested.
Blank Gameweek 33 – between six and eight Premier League fixtures will be contested.
For quite some time now, we’ve preached a “wait and see” policy on-chip strategy and stressed the importance of the FA Cup fifth round, given that the results of the cup ties in the weekend just gone have such an impact on Blank Gameweek 31 and beyond.
Now seems the right time to assess our options, however, so we’ve taken a look at a handful of chip strategies that Fantasy managers might consider for the weeks and months ahead.
There is no right or wrong way to deploy chips in FPL – at least, not until hindsight comes into play – and there are strategies beyond the ones in the video below that could prove to be more effective in the long-run. As is always the case with these things, the most favourable strategy will differ from manager to manager and may depend on your current set-up. Owuraku Ampofo and FPL expert Enam Kunutsor offer some guidelines as to how to approach this tough period in the FPL season.
