Fixtures

Double Gameweek 34 Confirmed

Earlier this morning, the Premier League kindly helped to relieve the monotony brought on by another international break by confirming the rescheduling of a number of fixtures that were previously postponed due to FA Cup ties.

The following matches have now been moved into Gameweek 34:

Chelsea v Southampton
Arsenal v Leicester
Crystal Palace v Spurs
Middlesbrough v Sunderland
Manchester City v Manchester United

As a result, we now have three teams set to play twice in Gameweek 34 – Crystal Palace, Middlesbrough and Manchester United.

Palace hardly have the most appealing pair of fixtures – Big Sam’s will now travel to Liverpool before hosting Spurs.

Middlesbrough face two vital relegation clashes, with a trip to Bournemouth preceding their home encounter with Sunderland.

Man United, meanwhile, will hit the road twice – making their way to Burnley before rolling up to neighbours City on Thursday April 27 in the final match of Gameweek 34.

As a result of this rescheduling, those holding West Bromwich Albion players should be aware that the Baggies are the only team that will face a blank in Gameweek 34.

The Premier League have also revealed that the remaining postponed fixtures will be confirmed “on or around Friday, April 7”, which is just prior to the weekend of Gameweek 32.

At present, there are six matches yet to be afforded a new date:

Arsenal v Sunderland
Chelsea v Watford
Leicester v Spurs
Man City v West Brom
Southampton v Arsenal
Southampton v Man United

We’ll go into more detail on the knock-on effect of today’s news in future “Scouting the Doubles” fixtures nearer the time but, for now, this is just a heads-up.

    is GW34 the only other DGW besides GW 37?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I think Southampton v Arsenal will also get one.

        wow so the TC options arent great if ur planning to BB on GW37.

        to put everything into context, discuss all the possibilities

          Page 1 and 2 covers it already.

    Happy norooz. Happy new year

      Rojbas.

    How nailed is Yoshida? Do know anything of when VVD will be back, if he will be?

  5. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Is it worth just ignoring DGW 34 and just lay it as a nomal GW, since the fixtures are so sh*t

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      *Play it

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      I'll only be looking at Valencia and ibra.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        im looking at Dea and Valenica

  6. KneejerkJoe
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Ok, does this mean the remaining matches will likely be moved to GW37?

    Arsenal v Sunderland
    Chelsea v Watford
    Leicester v Spurs
    Man City v West Brom
    Southampton v Man United

    Except Southampton v Arsenal, tat will be moved to a random week?

    In this case when do we think this game will be schedueled?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      35 or 36

  7. fiveyears
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Arsenal - Southampton likely to be 35 or 36 then?

    Originally thought WC 33 was best to take advantage, but could possibly get United player/s and a Boro player using FTs.

  8. Egyptian Giza
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    Mark, Jonty & Andy, scoutcast this week please

    1. Sp0rting
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      No GW, no Scoutcast.

      You know the rules.

    2. KingCurlyFries
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Why?

  9. Qubit
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    I think a WC in 36 is the clearest/easiest option of how to benefit from the dgw in 37. However, that doesn't mean it is the best option overall or for everyone.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      True, my team is a mess and a WC would help for sure.

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        +1

      2. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        I don't see any issue with WCing now. GW37 is always a bit of a lottery, so why waste your best chip on something that may not come off.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          If you ignore 34 outside United, it could be great.

        2. MTPockets
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Internationals.
            Gabbi, Kane, Sanchez, Hazard, Rose. Ibra back 31.
            MCI fixtures don't pick up for a bit.
            LEI CL.
            Crappy GW34 doubles.

        3. Qubit
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Actually, wouldn't say your team is a mess. For me the biggest issue right now is the availability of players i might want in the WC team, but that can probably be planned for.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Part of me wants Sanchez or Aguero out to move money around easier.

            1. Qubit
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              Same, it will most likely be Aguero for me, but probably after the Arsenal match, just fancy Aguero to come good. Nothing decided yet though

    2. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Best move here given I've no WC left?

      A) F Mori -> P Jones/Cedric
      B) Baines -> Valencia
      C) Aguero -> Costa (Ibra placeholder)
      D) Sanchez -> Alli (on form, great fixtures)
      E) Snoddy -> Redmond (2 decent home fixtures and looming DGWs)
      F) Save FT

      Jaku
      Robertson, Baines, Brunt
      Sanchez, Eriksen, Firmino, King, Snoddy
      Aguero, Lukaku

      Grant, Barnes, Stones, F Mori
      Bank 0.2m, 1FT, no WC

      1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        B & D?

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Yeah, if Sanchez is out, F Mori & Sanchez -> Valencia & Alli (-4) looks good. But if Sanchez is fit I will likely keep.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        F until Thursday next week.

        Who's more likely to keep a cleansheet in GW30, Man U or Tottenham?

        Man U v wba
        BUR v tot

            • 9 Years

            Thanks. Thinking about a spurs defender for now and then worry about a United defender GW32

            1. KingCurlyFries
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              yea tbh im staying away from spurs defense, all my ml rivals have walker so im looking for something different

      • AA33

        7 years, 10 days ago

        Anyone got the link to join cup qualification? Can't find it in articles or stickies? Sorry if I'm being blind.

          1. Tibbs
            • 12 Years

            Ta, found it in the end. Was being blind.

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          "Results from the qualifying round cups will be published shortly after March 27 and then weekly, after the completion of each Gameweek, from that point on".

      • JAC THE CAT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        I have no Man Utd, Palace or Boro!

          Good job you have 4 GWs and no real need for Palace then! 😀

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            It's possible 😉

        3. KingCurlyFries
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          7 years, 10 days ago

          sold Nyom for valencia this week. think all thats missing is Ibra and then my gw34 is sorted

      • Sims
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Will definitely be wildcard in the week arsenal play soton midweek

        Probably 35 or 36

      • The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Benteke anyone?

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          I think so for a DGW punt

        2. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          possibly, there defence seems to have shored up tho, could be a better option

      • Sp0rting
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Boy, am I glad I WC'd in GW20 to avoid all this hassle.

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          not when I took Alonso out on my second WC before his 21 pointer 🙁

        2. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Lol keep telling yourself that

      • nkhoughton
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        I would honestly for GW37 Prepare to ditch Ibra

        He is most has Spurs (A) Sou (A) (There not great)

        Chelsea have - WBA (A) WAT (H)

        MCI are home to both - Lei and WBA

        Arsenal - Stoke A Sun H

        Southampton - Mid A Spurs H

        The other teams I listed have far better fixtures to ibra, Kun Alexis Hazard etc

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Ibra comes in gw 31, out 37 it seems

          1. nkhoughton
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            My plan is to try and get Kun, Kane if back and in form could be fixture proof

      • F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Costa or Vardy? Any particular reason as to why, other than just Costa is boring and Vardy is exciting

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          There's no party at Costa's house.

          1. F4L
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            im sold 😎

          2. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            I imagine a party round Costa's house would involve dim lighting, thrash metal music, and lots of snakebite.

        2. KingCurlyFries
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          vardy for a potentially explosive return and probably a differential . costa for a solid 6 if youre looking for consistency.

      • Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Fuch DGW34, just play it as a normal GW fixtures crap, maybe just bring in extra united players at the max

      • TwiggsJameson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        I'd expect all the unscheduled fixtures to slot in GW37, with the exception of Arsenal v Southampton. That fixture is key to when I play my WC.

      • ANON.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Thoughts on what to do here? Will do Sanchez to Hazard/Alli if injured but if not:
        1FT, 5.2m ITB. Still have WC and BB left

        Pickford
        Alonso, Coleman, Mawson
        Sanchez, Mane, Eriksen, King
        Lukaku, Llorente, Carroll

        Heaton, Holebas, Fletcher, Evans

        A. Holebas/Evans to Valencia (bench Coleman)
        B. Carroll/Llorente to Costa/Vardy
        C. Any other ideas?

      • The Overthinker
        • 7 Years

        Whom shall I replace brunt with? For next 4 weeks.
        Budget 6.3

        Should llorente be replaced? Have siggy.

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Valencia. keep Fernando for one more week

        2. ANON.
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Why only 4 weeks? I think Llorente is ok to keep

          1. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Because don't want to think about dgw now.
            Bertrand and Valencia are some options though

            1. ANON.
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              I think it would be better to start planning for DGW

            Aye they are...but they're also playing trash. I'd punt on Gestede if I knew he was nailed.

          True, but Man U have just as good a run, and they are a better team with better players.

            Sadly we can only get three of those though.
