Fantasy Premier League 19/20: 10 Season-Defining Moments

10. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's Double Gameweek Nightmare

2019/20 will be remembered as a bit of a troll of a season for many. You would make seemingly sensible moves, just for everything to go pear-shaped.

In fact it says a lot about this season that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Gameweek 29 isn’t even the worst Double Gameweek nightmare on this list.

The striker actually had a superb season for Arsenal – but from a Fantasy Football perspective it was sometimes difficult to predict just when those hauls would come.

This particular moment was just at the beginning of the UK coronavirus outbreak when the footballing landscape changed drastically within a few days.

Fantasy managers went into Gameweek 29 with a rather sudden Double Gameweek on their hands, as the Manchester City vs. Arsenal game which had been rescheduled due to City’s involvement in the League Cup Final was slotted in midweek.

FPL players across the land saw that the premium-priced Gabonese frontman had notched three goals in his last two games, and he was brought in by 670,000 managers.

Of course, in the game at home to West Ham he blanked big time, Arsenal somehow scraping a 1-0 with Aubameyang a peripheral figure for much of the game and walking away with two fantasy points.

Aubameyang’s owners desperately hoped that he could somehow turn it around away to Manchester City – only for that game to become the first Premier League fixture cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
