With Manchester City facing off against Sunderland in the Capital One Cup final on Sunday, we will only have 18 Premier League fixtures this weekend. Manchester City vs. Manchester United and Sunderland vs. West Brom have both been postponed.

This is especially important for fantasy purposes, as many leagues will not retroactively count the accumulated statistics from the two postposed matches. Instead, players from those four clubs will have two matches in the gameweek when those matches are played. Unfortunately, that doesn't guarantee that those players will play twice in that gameweek.

As a result, there are plenty of high-profile fantasy players who will not be available this week, including Yaya Toure, Alvaro Negredo, Sergio Aguero (who is expected to play this weekend), Robin van Persie, Juan Mata, and Wayne Rooney. If these guys are in your starting lineups, be prepared for some donuts.

With all of that out of the way, here's how we see Gameweek 28:
