When are chelsea making up their cancelled game?

GW 28 31 or 34. If Leicester lose in the cup at the weekend probably gw 28. We should know by next gw's deadline

Swiper the fox

I realise that this is a breach of forum etiquette to an extent as a bit of detective work will take care of it but I have been terribly busy lately and really have no idea of the ins and outs bar a Spurs and QPR dgw in week 28. Is there something very obvious that I can look at to see all permutations

First post or post above you Swiper.

Swiper the fox

So it's still just the Carling cup final that is messing with the fixture list? Spurs, Chelsea, QPR and Leicester and Chelsea's DGW won't be the same week as Spurs?
I have Ivan, Haz, Kane and Eriksen. With Wisdom and Marney also in my squad I have a bad feeling. Bit of tinkering to do towards the end of the week no doubt. It is probably a good time to play me in a cup or H2H, I smell an 8 point hit this coming week to put me in a position to make a move over the following weeks.

If Leicester lose today there is a chance Chelsea Leicester will be re fixed for fa cup qf weekend to give both teams a dgw 28. The only other games that will be called off are fa cup sf weekend think it's gw 33.

Just looking at Chelsea's schedule they have Mar 1 carling cup final
Mar 4 gw 28 West ham
Mar 7 potential double Leicester
Mar 11 psg
Chelsea may prefer to have a free weekend before the 2nd leg against psg and leave the double till later on.

Though, if the decision is to be taken after tomorrow's game, considering PSG recent form and this week-end injury avalanche for them, it may be over after the first leg and thus the second one would not really bother Chelsea.

After the fa cup draw tonight the gw 33 permutations are the following 5 games will be called off if the remaining teams win through in the quarter final.
Arsenal Sunderland
Villa qpr
Chelsea utd
Palace wba
Hull liverpool
The most games we will have cancelled is 3 and the least is 2 if liverpool were to lose.
GW 34 or 37 is when these games would be rescheduled for a double.
As things stand the 10 clubs not mentioned above will defintely have a game in gw 33 which may come in useful if you are making a move for a cheap def or midfielder with gw 27 in mind.
You know you are addicted to fpl when you know this type of nonsense.

So costa is back this week V burnley and then chelsea have a free week the following week?

Just added the actual 1/4f FA Cup games to make it more complete. It's not the same going to Old Trafford than hosting Blackburn so this may also comes into consideration for future transfers (no offence at all Lemlin and many others I believe since this forum is Rovers fans antechamber :pac:).

Is it likely that the Chelsea dgw will be confirmed before the weekend do yis reckon.

If they have a dgw 28 there is merit on getting a third chelsea player for this week imo, despite the blank. If they don't there isn't.

I'd think so. Sky may have been waiting for BT Sport to schedule their live FA Cup matches so they can go head to head with the Leicester v Chelsea match.

I've gone a bit off the idea of getting Costa in now. I'm happy to put the armband on Hazard and all it takes is a yellow in one of the next two matches for Costa to be on the tightrope. It also allows me to sort out my squad going forward and then if need be make some hits for a Chelsea DGW28.

I'm not going for Costa either, mostly because I want Sturridge for GW28 more. But I'd consider going for Fab or Oscar for this week and holding them for 28.

If we assume spurs and qpr are the only double how are you all planning on approaching gw 27 and 28. I ask this as Im considering bringing in a spurs defender this gw.
Gw 27 Make no transfer and Play a 4 4 2 Hazard kane and maybe a spurs defender on the bench.
Gw 28 2 transfers eriksen and austin in. This will give my 4 dgw players kane austin vertonghen and eriksen.

I think this is the only way to have 11 in gw27 and 4 dgw players in gw28 with no hits.

Current team
foster myhill
wollschied pva hutton (alder jones)
walcott silva adm hazard sanchez
aguero kane (ings)

Ive 2 transfers the issues I see are no chelsea def this week , jones injured and Im not convinced on walcott starting gw 28.
GW 26 jones and walcott to Verthongen and sterling
GW27 do nothing I think this is a strong team for that week
Foster
Pva alder wollscheid hutton
sterling silva adm sanchez
aguero ings
GW28 adm and ings to eriksen and austin
I will have a major benching issue with my front 8 that week if they are all fit.

The alternative is to try maximise my points this week rather than looking at gw 27 and 28. This would involve getting a chelsea player in and meaning Ill only have 3 players for the dgw.

Shedite27

Plan currently is to stick Hazard, Zouma and Kane on the bench for GW27, 11 players other than that hopefully.

Then GW28 I'd have Kane on a DGW, along with Eriksen who I'll bring in for one of Walcott/Ozil.

Half thinking of a one-week punt for a defender instead of Zouma for GW27, but would involve a -4 which I don't think is worth it for a defender. Too much value for me to consider ditching Kane/Hazard.

You'd favour Sterling over Sturridge then?
I haven't checked the stats but I have in mind that Sterling takes advantage of Sturridge presence FPL-wise (while when he played upfront his returns were not better as you could expect I think they even were a bit worse).

Your GW27 team is more than decent.

And yeah, GW28 dilemma... Hazard could actually be the one to bench :eek:.

Costa? or a def? If Chelsea DGW is not on GW28 I think the closest one can be GW31 IMSMR.
Considering their Cup games to come and PL fixtures you'd be "dependent" upon a blinder from Costa or your def this GW (which could well happen) but if it doesn't you'd have messed up your mid-term plan for nothing...

It's annoying that we don't know about Chelsea rescheduled game. Could it be announced today? Transfers for the coming 3 GWs are so much dependent upon that announcement!

This. It's not looking like it will be confirmed today. But if not it still doesn't rule it out does it?

A Chelsea treble up punt this week isn't justified imo unless the DGW28 happens.

dahat

Cazorla to Eriksen and then I have to decide if Austin,Arsenal + Spurs will outscore Sturridge v Burnley.

3 Max will be my dgw total as it isn't worth anymore tbh.

I guess not. But as Busts mentioned earlier on, with Chelsea playing the Carling Cup final, GW28 away to WH & the return leg against PSG in a 10 days period may not wish to add a 4th game in it. Especially that they still have the job to be done against PSG.

Considering the next CL games will be between GW33 & 34, if I were Mourinho I'd try slot this game in between GW31 & 32. In addition it'll be Stoke home & QPR away. So Leicester away in the middle doesn't sound like an impossible task.

No Costa for me then. If ManU beat Arsenal in the FA Cup then DGW34 and DGW37 for Chelsea; tasty.

That's a blow to my plans. I'm still considering proceeding however

I might ship Terry out for a Spurs defender ahead of DGW28 now. My plan is bank this week, luxury transfer of Baird to Naughton, Kane and Eriksen in with two FTs in DGW28. I'd have to decide if it's worth a hit to do Terry to Vertonghen/Walker which I'm not too sure about. They haven't been keeping many cleanies.

iroced

So Arsenal & Leicester away are Chelsea double GW (34) fixtures.

It suits me that it doesn't happen for GW28 (though was not not in too bad a shape had it happened). Have Baird and possibly Lucas & Jones to sort out first and already have 3 players to bench for GW27.

The idea came into my mind... but then I checked Spurs recent defensive record. Considering Chelsea fixture this week, is a Spurs def really worth it? For me there is the temptation to get, let's say Vertonghen for Jones but would have 4 players for the bench next GW.
There's still an off chance Jones & Lucas could feature next GW so I guess this week is designed to get a replacement for Baird.

A spurs defender is unexpectedly on my mind now too. They have promising fixtures. WHU, Swansea, Leicester, Villa at home in next 7. The aways are Burnley, QPR and Man U. Rose in for Baird might just make sense.

Is Rose secure in his place though. Just about to visit my Spurs fan bro in law so will do some research.

LostArt

Rose and Davies have been rotated a lot. Vertonghen is the only nailed on starter in the back 4.

Is it more of a league/cups rotation though? Davies played in the Europa, while Rose has played 90 in 6 of the last 8 EPL and 75 in a 7th. Not sure if there was another reason why he missed gw19.

As per usual iroced your feedback and attention to detail is fantastic. Fair play to you checking my potential gw28 selection headache and yes having to maybe bench hazard is a worry if I went down that route.
I'm steering clear of Costa as it would mean selling ings and I think after the arsenal players ings is the best captain option for gw27. I was more looking at a def or oscar.
I had been set on Sturridge for gw 28 but I think austin maybe a better option for that gw so was looking at sterling.
I'm back to square one now anyway as Jones is fit and alderweireld is still injured. I'm debating selling hazard for his gw 27 blank even though I got him at 9.9.Im not too bothered being without him for gw 28 and 29 West ham away a few days after carling cup final and then southampton home a few days after cl.2nd leg . Would then know the result of utd arsenal cup game and whether hazard would also have a gw 33 blank.
I'm thinking walcott to eriksen this week and then hazard to sterling gw 27.

It has been a league/cup rotation but I'd expect Rose to start the cup final because he seems to be our first choice left back (god knows why tbh!). There's no way Rose will then start both league games in the double week imo.

It's looking like I'll have 9 players playing next week. However, that includes Alderweireld and PVA who might not play.

What are people's thoughts, are ye taking hits to play a full 11, or are ye risking playing a 9/10 man team?

Depends on the players coming in and whether or not you will use a transfer shortly afterwards taking them out again.

I'm leaning more towards the Terry out for Spurs defender now that Matic will miss West Ham and Southampton. I'd also prefer Ivan as my Chelsea defender for their DGW(s)

Seems like almost everyone is going for Kane and Eriksen for the dgw, gains will minimal really unless one outscores the other heavily thus favouring the Capper's .

I'm looking at Austin as well but to get him I'd have to sell Sturridge who has Burnley and it is debateable if Austin can outscore him even with two games
