Arsenal’s 2-0 FA Cup win over Sutton United will have a major impact on the plans of Fantasy Premier League managers, with the Gunners now due to miss two of the next three Gameweeks.
Arsene Wenger’s side beat their non-league opponents thanks to goals from Lucas Perez (£7.8m) and Theo Walcott (£7.4m), as Granit Xhaka (£5.2m) and Alex Iwobi (£6.0m) supplied assists.
Last night’s victory means that the Gunners’ Gameweek 28 home encounter with Leicester City has been postponed to a later date, yet to be confirmed.
Arsenal are already without a fixture in Gameweek 26 as their opponents, Southampton, are in the EFL Cup final.
This leaves the Gunners with only one match in the next three rounds of fixtures - a Gameweek 27 trip to Liverpool.
Sales of Alexis Sanchez (£11.7m) have subsequently picked up pace.

Owned by 34% of managers, the Chilean is the most transferred-out midfielder since the previous deadline, with 76,000+ seeking alternatives.
Sanchez is also second only to Manchester City’s injured Gabriel Jesus (£9.2m) for sales over the last 24 hours.
After scoring twice in Liverpool’s win over Tottenham Hotspur last time out, Sadio Mane (£9.3m) has proved the most popular direct replacement for Sanchez.
More than 33,000 owners have directly traded him for the Senegal international, who faces Leicester City (away) and Burnley (home) in Gameweeks 26 and 28 respectively.
Mane seems set for increased transfer traffic ahead of Saturday's 2pm GMT Gameweek 26 deadline.
Elsewhere, more than 19,000 FPL managers have swapped Sanchez for Chelsea's Eden Hazard (£10.3m) ahead of the Blues' home encounter with Swansea City.
But Hazard will also miss Gameweek 28 after his side clinched a place in the last eight of the FA Cup last weekend.
