The clubs who go on to reach the FA Cup semi-finals will also blank in Gameweek 32, along with the teams they are scheduled to face in that round of Premier League fixtures.
The following Gameweek 32 matches are currently at risk of postponement because the clubs in bold could reach the FA Cup semi-finals.
Gameweek 32 (FA Cup SF)
Saturday 22 April
Brighton v Man City
Fulham v Leeds
Man Utd v Chelsea
Since Man Utd and Fulham face each other in the FA Cup quarter-finals, one of them (the team who are eliminated from the cup) will be able to play their scheduled Premier League fixture in Gameweek 32.
Managers will need to consider how their handling of Blank Gameweeks 28 and 32 will affect their ability to attack Double Gameweeks 27 and 29.
