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.

    Those with your triple captain chips still to use, do you have a rough idea who and when you are going to use it?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra GW34
      or
      Sanchez/Gabbi GW35/36

    2. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Check an earlier post of mine

      Ibra ruled out for me

      I basically think Alexis is the only option if fit, if not got no other option but to punt on someone

    3. boc610
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Im going to use it for Kun's plum fixtures against Sunderland and Stoke.

      what could possibli go wrong.

    4. Demí
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alexis in 35 or 36

      1. nkhoughton
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        they are not the best fixtures if 35 or 36 for alexis

  2. Bring the Cavalry
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I know the BB chip is best used on a DGW but for this coming GW my bench fixtures are wat, SUN, BOU, swa.
    I doubt I will get much better fixtures so could it be worth using this week or wait until the DGW?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      GW37 man, all the best teams have doubles

      1. Bring the Cavalry
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I thought I will stick to the original plan, cheers mate

    one word for gw 37

    WOW

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      BB frenzy. A lot of ML rivals have wasted it. Boom or bust in 37 for me.

      1. Johqvist
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I'm on 5:th place, 55 points behind my ML leader. My team is better set up going forward though. I think it might go down to the wire but I hope my WC/BB might swing in in my favour.

    2. Demí
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      OMG

    3. My Name Is Prince

      Que?

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone with BB and TC left tempted to TC in GW37?

    There's some big teams with very good fixtures in 37, might be difficult to fully BB but TC could be nice.

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      When would you BB though?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No idea - some random week 🙂

    2. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I used TC on 34 last year, if we TC in 37 when would you use bb there is no stand out time to use it

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez fixtures in 37 look plum (sto, SUN) but BB has to be the option if you still have it, surely.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I think it depends when the Arsenal fixture for southampton gets announced if 33 then thats a no brainer but any later its tough as its spurs and man u

    4. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No I think I'd rather have a potential 15 players playing twice and a good captain option.

    5. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Unless the arsenal DGW is earlier, I'm doing that. Think a good TC with 10-11 DGW players can proper offset 15 DGW players.

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        when you spell it out like that, it makes more sense.

    6. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think bench boost week 37 is the only decent option. Triple captain is a pure luck chip. Bench boost with 15 dw starters should pay off handsomely

    7. Philman
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like the fact that you have thought about it Andy, but we still have to remember that you can still captain that same player in GW37 and BB.

  5. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Repost.

    Is there any chance that the Arsenal vs Soton fixture will be rearranged for before GW34?

    And if not the only 2 Gameweeks left to arrange that are GW35 or 36 right?

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Paul
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      can't be before 34

      so yeah either 35 or 36

    2. Odikostar
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Should be possible to rearrange them to 32 and 33, but I don't know to much about it

    3. Philman
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not possible, since Arsenal have their original fixtures in GWs 32 and 33 on a Monday.

  6. Vinyl78LP
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So United play at 12 noon on Sunday gw35 after a Thursday night gruelling derby - Jose must be frothing at the mouth.

  7. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy TC 🙂

  8. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Those of us with TC still in hand, remember, Aguero is still a TC option. GW37 with those fixtures, if Jesus isn't back.

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      gab j might be back then.

    2. Sarnab
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      When to BB then?

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        In a single GW where you have good fixtures. It's not like you'll get 0. They are called bench players for a reason. Are you expecting, double clean sheets, from every defender and keeper, and double hatty from you 5th mid who's 3rd on the bench?

        1. nkhoughton
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          TC only grants you 50% the score its overhyped BB is by far the better chip

          1. fedolefan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Not if the captain is from GW 37. Whom are you going to cover. You are benching boosting 4 players, not 15. Keep that in mind. You think your 4 bench players with DGW can easily outscore TC + bench boost with SGW. Ok.

          2. XabiAlonso
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Have to agree here. Ur likely to captain peoples triple up anyway. 13-15 players playing twice if nailed on starters have twice the chance to score get clean sheets etc

            1. fedolefan
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Nothing stops me from getting 11 DGW and TC. It's 4 for christ's sake.

              1. XabiAlonso
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                8 potentially

                1. fedolefan
                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  And I'm going to waste my BB chip? I won't play it in a SGW?

                  1. nkhoughton
                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    nobody is stopping you from playing it in a sgw but BB of 15 players in a dgw becomes 30 players one of which is captained becomes 32 players? how is using BB in a SGW of 16 better than 32?

  9. internal error

    Does anyone know how many players have already used their triple captain chip?

  10. Sarnab
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Lets do DeRoon TC 😀

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Already blown mine on Allen 🙁

  11. Paul
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Already got DeRoon for the DGW 😎

  12. Pigsinblankets
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Interested to know what funds would be needed to get the "essentials" for a GW37 BB. I tried playing around with it (mines worth around 105m) and had to miss out on some sizeable hitters.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why does GW37?stand out for BB?

  13. Dreams

    If people are done with the double gameweek madness, let's do some future planning. Who do you think will get promoted next season?

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Brighton, Newcastle and either leeds/Huddersfield

      1. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If Leeds get promoted, then one spot of my team will be dedicated to Chris Wood.

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lol.

      1. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Why?

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

          No FPL prices.

          1. Dreams
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Haha. As we have two weeks time, we can actually discuss other stuff. The players to have in 34 is pretty clear. Maybe speculate the prices as well.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years

              Good time for a break it seems.

              1. Dreams
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Yes.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Newcastle, Brighton and I really hope Huddersfield. Think the PL will fall in love with Wagner.

      1. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        For me it's tough to choose between Huddersfield and Leeds. Even Gary Monk is proving his worth. But Wagner is brilliant. Another klopp to be honest.

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I don't watch much of the Championship but we (Liverpool) played Leeds in the cup and they were brilliant. Know about Wagner's personality and his style of play so I'd prefer to see him 🙂

          1. Dreams
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I am also a Liverpool fan. Wagner has been more successful than klopp tbh.

  14. Sarnab
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    With 9 point Aguero TC played by some, do you think we (those having TC chip available) are lacking standout TC options for the DGW ?

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy TC

    2. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if they're willing to use it in 37.

      Options seem to be Ibra in 34 or Sanchez in 35 or 36. Neither fixtures are great but they could both easily score more than 9. Fingers crossed it's not a huge points difference

      1. ScotDougie
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        See below Andy

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe. There's a reliance on Sanchez for the non-GW37 DGW - there really is no other real option for those BBing in 37.

    4. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs have WAT, BOU and Everton have LEI, BUR in GWs 32 & 33. Surely there has to be an argument for taking a deep breath and going with Ali or Lukaku in a single gameweek?

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed - you're only up against a lot of people who had Aguero's 9 points - something that can be overhauled in a single gameweek.

  15. ScotDougie
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So for everybody who has used their triple captain . Work out who will be the most popular TC choice from the dgws ( prob ibra 34 ) then get him in and make sure to captain him = damage control

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      This is wise advice

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Very wise

    2. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, but what if we play it in GW 37. Whom are you going to captain? 🙂

    3. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      this is exactly what I did with Aguero when people played TC on him

  16. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I've been casual lately
    But I've just seen gw34 news here

    Whats the news gw37 though?
    Everyone here talking about that

    Whats the scenario?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Basically all the rest, except Ars/Sot.

        1. Sánchez
          • 11 Years

          Cheers

      Palace with decent home games in gw 33 and 35..think i'm taking a punt on benteke..

        Zaha would be better value for money.

        1. Caleb's Kitties
          • 8 Years

          OK wil consider double up

    3. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Does Chambers come straight back in the XI under this new manager when fit?
      Bernardo dropped or shift to a back 3?

      1. UnitedFan
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I already have him by the way, wouldn't get in though.

      2. Football Weekender
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm wondering the same about both Chambers & Friend. Boro supporting mate of mine says Fabio has been playing well and would be unfortunate to lose his place. Friend is the captain when Leadbitter doesn't play and Chambers has been used at both centreback and rightback so I think both of them will play when fit.

        1. UnitedFan
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks.

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

      I'm 95 points behind my main rival but he has played his WC and BB.

      Mine are both still in tact.

      It's going to be all or nothing in them last 4 GW's

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Why only the last four weeks you have 9 weeks to catch up, relax 🙂

      2. ScotDougie
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I've closed a 100 point gap down to 9 in around five weeks or something but have used my wildcard and Tx he has his intact . You can do it man go with your gut and be brave

    5. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      For those planning on utilizing WC for BB and TC I think assuming G.Jesus is out of the question.

      GW32 onwards Aguero is borderline essential plum fixtures, has a very good DGW37 fixtures that shout captaincy. So I think after GW34 is over and assuming GW35 has no double thats the best time to WC allowing teams to bring in kun or enough FT's to ship if signs Jesus will take his spot back

      What are your thoughts on this?

    6. tm245

          It's actually nice to read them all in a row instead of just one, gives multiple perspectives from the outset so I don't have a one track mind.

    7. SP Polymorphism
      • 7 Years

      With the addition of these games to GW34 what would the GW37 doubles look like now?

    8. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I dont think FFS will need to put out another article today, this will be the talk of the town for the next 24 hours

    9. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      This is fairly straight-forward for me, team in ruins from the last 3-4 weeks. Now time for a WC to get the essentials from Arsenal, Spurs, United & Chelsea back in, possibly a Sterling from Citeh. Then fill up the rest of my team with those that double in 37 with a few from 34 to swap between 34 & 37. Should be fairly easy to get 15 for BB37. Also means I'll have a better team for the next 4-5 weeks.

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

        Same here Greg (have you finally eaten that curry BTW?).

        Looking at something along the lines of:

        Valdes, Pickford
        Walker, Valencia, Coleman, gimp, gimp
        Mane, Ali, Tadic?, Pedro?, Siggy
        Lukaku, Vardy?, Barnes
        + some cash in the bank

        Sterling can come in in a few weeks fro whoever, and Vardy is keeping Ibra's spot warm for me.

    10. Kimmich
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Grant - Jakupovic
      Walker - Valencia - Baines - Chambers - Yoshida
      Sanchez - Mane - Siggy - Grosicki - de Roon
      Costa - Lukaku - Carroll

      1FT, 3.3itb. Vardy (STK, SUN) instead of Lukaku (LIV, MUN) a decent shout? Or maybe bring Alli in?

    11. v_keithe
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone considering keeping Lukaku in 37 even though he singles? Gotta think he scores big v Watford at home

        I'd rather have Kane & Costa. IF I can afford him then definitely but too many other big hitters doubling.

          Yeah fair point, Kane for sure but Lukaku could better Costa I feel

      I wildcarded this week
      Knew arsenal and Southampton had more dgws ahead

      So got Sanchez Gabbadini Cech (and jwp and bertrand)

      3 flags already

      Any news on cech or gabbadini?

      Why isnt anyone talking about BB34?
      1. All the SGW players have got pretty decent fixtures
      2. Lets be honest the DGW players are gonna be crap.
      3. I like my team at the moment and my bench is made up of Brunt, Foster and De Roon who will be doubling anyway.
      4. DGW37 you will be able to concentrate on 11 really good DGW players and nt spread the risk too much
      5. Gives you the flexibility of WCíng in 37 itself
