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.

    with all 3 chips and my Wc still in tact.

    Do i use my Triple captain on Ibra for the first dgw.
    then use my WC on gw 36...

    and then BB ON GW37 ??

      you could

      or you could see below...

    If you’ve already wildcarded/used your TC chip/are massively ahead in mini leagues – the best option is clearly bench boosting 37

    However – if you’re chasing and have all your chips left to play I would present this differential strategy

    GW 30-33 – concentrate on the best players, week by week, for these fixtures – remember, those who don’t have a wildcard will all be bringing in double players now as cover, most of which don’t have great fixtures
    GW 34 wildcard – getting in one boro, one palace, two-three united players – plus those who have a GREAT single in 34 AND a double still to come – i.e. Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea.
    Bench Boost 35 (Saints/Arsenal likely to be this week) - Bring in one of two from Saints - You’ll likely have 5 from Arsenal/Saints now – including Forster, maybe even Ospina in goal if Cech injury serious. Sling em on your bench, boost them.
    GW 36 – tidy up that squad ready for your first 11 to play in GW37, you might have say Yoshida, Fabio and Ward Prowse on your bench at this point
    GW 37 – Triple Aguero home to LEI and WBA or Sanchez away to sto and home to SUN. Or even Costa if going for golden boot away to wba, home to WAT
    GW 38 – all-out attack

    I don’t think is as good as bench boosting in 37 – however, if you’re chasing the simple fact is that a triple in 37 looks MILES better than ones in 34 or 35. And can people stop treating a bench boost in 37 like you’re boosting 15 players?! You’re not, you’re boosting 4. Which is exactly the same as playing it on a double in 34 or 35.

    Monkey out.

      Concentrate on getting the best players, great advice monkey wish I'd thought of that 😆

        as opposed to panic buying Benteke now for the worst 5 fixtures imaginable coming up... yes xx

        1. Rhinos

          Benteke is fixture proof, he's equally useless against everyone

      very well put but for me to play BB in Gw34 or which ever I have to sort my bench out which i cannot unless i WC unfortunately or take some hits

      This is great stuff, thanks. So who are the best layers GW 30 - 33?

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Alli/Eriksen for sure
        Mahrez/Vardy
        a pool mid
        Siggy still
        watford have excellent fixtures
        and I think a mid defender is still worth it

        avoid west brom, Bournemouth, palace and burnley

          Sounds good. Annoyingly brought in Deeney GW just gone & he scores an OG...going to stick with him though

    7. 1966 was a great year for E…

      'You’re not, you’re boosting 4. Which is exactly the same as playing it on a double in 34 or 35.'

      But your bench in DGW37 will be full of DGWers. Your bench in DGW34 or 35 will be SGW players, you'll only have 9 DGWers in your squad.

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        *9 DGWers at the absolute maximum.

      2. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        My way is thus, working backwards:

        You:
        15 x double in 37 = 30
        Me:
        11 x double in 37 = 22

        You have eight over players

        But I would do 5 x double in 35 say. Now, without a wildcard

        So

        Me:
        10 x single in 35, 5 x double = 20

        Now in theory you could do the same but without four single players on your bench – therefore 16 – so half that of doing it in 37

        So you get 4 more players playing your boost in 37? Okay, that’s true. My point is offset that with the hits you have to take in order to get say, 4 doubles for 34 and 5 doubles for 35. You’re looking at a minus 20 between now and then unless you’re playing your wildcard early.

        Now offset that with probably having a bench filled with very good players for week 35 because you’re playing the double ones instead?

        Now offset that with a triple captain in 37 and the potential of that compared to one in 34/35

        I’m not saying the numbers are the same – but for me it’s 4 extra players (your worst ones at that) in 37 vs around 20 points, poorer players in 34/35 and going up against a triple in 37

        This was long and hard to explain…

        But I’m doing it, mainly because I’m 100 behind in mini league to a guy who has used all his chips bar BB and so have nothing to lose - good luck to you obviously

          would you do this if you was say 30 points behind?

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

            30 no - that's not that far, I would say this is only worth it for 60 points plus behind

          '4 doubles for 34 and 5 doubles for 35. You’re looking at a minus 20 between now and then unless you’re playing your wildcard early.'

          I've got 4 free transfers between now and GW34, and I've already got 1 DGW34 player.

    8. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      if you make Aguero C or Sanchez C in gw37 and a bench boost, you are just one Aguero or Sanchez aways from those who made him TC

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        yeah but there are a lot more triples available that week - so many in fact, I can see around six great options that week (rotation issues aside)

        in 27 the option was aguero
        in 34 the option is zlatan
        in 35 the option will be sanchez

        one option, in each week

        37 is rife with genuine, rank busting differentials

        for the last time, I'm not saying this option is BEST - it's not, I'm saying if you're chasing and have to gamble, this represents your best chance

        1. Konig Luther
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          no, it a good potential and viable strategy. thanks for the time

    11. AZERTY

      7 years, 10 days ago

      Since GW34 had doubles and 35 (so far) not, why would you prefer BB in GW35 and not in GW34?

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        I'm assuming Arsenal/Saints will be in 35, it could be 36. It has to be one of them. I just prefer the fixtures for both those teams over United and Palace in 34 – who have terrible fixtures

        And Boro, who are just terrible

    12. Toby Lerone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Great write up pal. Changed my thinking regarding BB now. I spunked my TC on aguero so will just have to hope my captain choice in 37 delivers

  3. boc610
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 days ago

    anyone know why Raheem Sterling cant ever- no matter how many times he tries- hit a ball cleanly? and dont say james milner:)

    Even when he scores or asissts you look at the technique and think thats not quite right, was the same at liverpool and ive seen no improvement at city

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

      Were you the one who was talking about Valencia's technique also?

      1. boc610
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        i was . my main issue is this and it stems largely from seeing Monacos wingbacks this season, with mendy being one of the best crossers of the ball ive seen in a long time, whether in the air or on the ground.. there are a lot of speedy players in the Premier league-wingers and defenders- who are amazing getting down the by line and beating two, three men (Rose, Walker, Clyne, Valencia, Walcott, Sterling, moses, navas to name a few) but when it actually comes to that final delivery theres something missing. the accuracy isnt there. it never seems to beat the last man , the cut back is never quite good enough. Im just wondering why so many players cant do this one thing that would make them great as opposed to very good players.

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

          Great analysis. I feel the same about navas. He gets in so well but his crossing is not as good. It's easy to see. No wonder falcao is so successful in Monaco compared to PL.

        2. Can’t beat em so&hell…
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Because if you could do everything, you'd be Gareth Bale and there's not many of those?

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

            But being a winger, you should be able to cross properly sometimes at least. And navas doesn't do anything more either.

              • 12 Years
              7 years, 10 days ago

              True but most players don't have everything. Take Walker for example, great pace, experience, engine, recovery skills, etc but poor delivery a lot of the time. Trippier, excellent delivery. Spurs choose to play Walker not because of his delivery but in spite of it. Very few players have it all - like Bale

        Lol i know wanted to ask whether i shud remove coutinho for a hit?

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      I fancy liverpool double up at home to cherries in gw 31

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

        I agree they have a good fixture. But doubling up on Liverpool mids is actually wasting one spot IMO. Think about it.

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Yeah but kane is a more pressing transfer so would need a hit to remove coutinho

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

            Bench one of the Liverpool mids is my suggestion. You won't need a hit also. Then take one of those out in the next week.

    3. DJ Champion
      • 7 Years

      Couthino i guess if you decide to get vardy in

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Would u recommend getting vardy? is he worth benching for ?coutinho?

        1. DJ Champion
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Go for it as vardy has a good fixtures in the next two also if u plan to get rid of couthino in the near future as liverpool dont have any dgws

    Anyone know what the deal is with Chambers.
    they said this (new) foot injury was a minor one, but that was 3 weeks ago.

      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Do we know that the postponed games that still need to be rescheduled will fall in gw37?

      Apart from Arsenal and Southampton, who obviously need to get two dgws, or a tgw (which seems unlikely), is it safe to assume that there won't be dgw35 or dgw36?

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

        It should be just Arsenal - Southampton, they would have been earlier had it not been for other commitments

    3. fiveyears

      • 8 Years

      For those doing a late WC with a large TV, I think last year's '15 DGWers' strategy for a BB could actually work this year, lots of big hitters

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

      Just spent the last 20 mins going through my thoughts for the rest of the season.

      WC34

      DDG / Pickford
      Valencia / Alonso / Mustafi / PvA / Yoshi
      Sanchez / Pedro / Zaha / Redmond / De Roon
      Aguero / Ibra / Gabiadini

      6 DGWrs - DDG / Valencia / PvA / De Roon / Zaha / Ibra
      GW35 save
      GW36 Costa and King in
      GW37 Stones in. BB with 13 DGWrs and King (BUR) and De Roon (SOT)

      Pretty happy with the plan on paper but we all know it never works out

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

        MY main problem with using WC so early is not knowing who is still fighting for survival/champions league in GW37...for example you don't have any ManC or Spurs players in and those two teams could be in battle for 4th. Also, in previous years some teams that were fighting to avoid relegation have done preety good and had cheap players that scored 15-20 points (remeber Sunderlands DGW and PvA's 15 pointer)

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

          You get a general idea of who will be involved and their fixtures. WCing in 36 to catch the 'survival teams' sort of defeats the point, it could even be over by then!

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

          I have Aguero and will have Stones for 37

      2. I Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        No Spurs is absolute madness. I'm probably going to triple up on them.

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

          Absolute madness to call it absolute madness

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

          No Spurs is an issue but its difficult to fit them all in. If Jesus turns out to be an alternative to Aguero then I can get Alli/Eriksen over Zaha

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            How about DDG, Redmond and Pedro -> Valdes, JWP and Alli/Eriksen?

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

              DDG has 2 GWs though.

              1. I Member
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 10 days ago

                Neither of which look all that profitable to me. I'd be happy with just Valencia.

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

          Which triple up? Three mids, or Kane back, or one def/mid/Kane?

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Probably a defender, Eriksen and Alli. Depends on Kane's form but I'll want Kun and Ibra.

      One point about bb, yes it's power by itself is probably being overstated but if you wc36 for a 37bb there's the option of getting a much more expensive bench than you'd normally have. Would mean one or 2 less big hitters but reckon could get a squad of 15 very good dgwers. That's the dream anway

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

        15 DGWers a realistic option this year for sure.

        Last year you were getting rid of good players for mediocre DGWers. This year, aside from Lukaku most of the good players play twice.

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

          We'll still be very fortunate to get 15 doublers with rotation factored in. But a few might manage it.

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

            Oh yeah of course, but it's not so crazy a strategy compared to last year.

            People were getting rid of Spurs and Leicester last year to accomodate it.

    9. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 days ago

      Well this DGW looks uninspiring... I only really want Ibra, Valencia and a Middlesbrough defender.

        I agree with you, Mark.

        Zaha at a push

        1. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          I mean look as Zaha's form and fixtures... I really don't understand this bandwagon at all

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Don't get it either. Palace struggling to score and they play Liverpool and Spurs. Looks like a 4 pointer to me.

      5. Qubit

        Im not even sure i want a Boro defender even.

        1. Qubit
          • 14 Years

          Hmm, too many evens in there. 🙂

        2. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Their fixtures do turn rotten after GW34 and without Karanka at the helm perhaps they won't be as good defensibly... but I'd struggle to go without one just because everybody else will get one

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

            Yeh, i guess the ownership fear is an issue. Probably got to look at the worst case scenario of not having one.

      6. DJ Champion
        • 7 Years

        Will go with valdes, valencia, ibra and zaha

      Any idea why Holebas didn`t play?

      Chances he will be back in the lineup for Sunderland (H) ?

            Unless it stops you doing the move, then don't worry too much about rises/falls

            Your Gabbiadini question is exactly another reason why you should wait!

            Deadline is 1st April

      4. MTPockets
          7 years, 10 days ago

          12 days then Lei play 1st, 4th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th.

      5. Egyptian Giza
        • 7 Years

        captaincy options for GW30?

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

          Costa and Haz i imagine will be main 2

        2. I Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Costa looks the safest.

        3. DJ Champion
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          costa hazard vardy siggy kun and sanchez(if fit) are all good options.It will certainly be different from this gw with everyone going for lukaku

        4. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Probably Hazard for me if fit

      6. XabiAlonso
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Not so subtle brag coming up.
        Last season I played bench boost in dg34 I believe it was after wild carding the week before for a 168 point game week beating everyone in both my mini leagues who had triple captained Aguero or Sanchez for there 25 point hauls. Obviously I had both anyway and captained one.

        1. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Think i got something like 185 but can't really remember, captained whichever of those I hadn't tripled in the other one. Was disappointed not to get to 200 though.

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

          Fair enough, but generally speaking I seem to recall the TC34 option worked better for most.

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

            Gw rank of 59819 though. Most here would take that rank right now. I'm just putting an argument for the bb

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

              In wk37 after wc 36

        3. LakhaneeFC
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Well, for a change, it's a brag that actually makes me hopeful of still making up ground in my ML if I play my cards right 🙂

          Nice job!

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

            U can make a massive jump over these dws I have ground to catch myself

      7. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        Initial plans for now:
        30. Llorente, Firminho, Brunt/Baines --> Alli, Valencia, Vardy (-4)
        31. Save
        32. Vardy to Ibra (and poss one other DGWer in)

        Heaton/Pickford
        Alonso, Baines, Brunt, Coleman, Walker
        Firminho, Coutinho, Eriksen, King, Mane (prob out for Sanchez at some point)
        Kaku, Llorente, Crouch

      8. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 days ago

        I think I'm likely to have 5 playing double week 34 when it comes: Ibrahimovic, Valencia, Jones, Valdes & De Roon.

        Won't go near Palace and don't fancy having more than 5. What's everyone else thinking?

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Probably just 3. The big teams have good fixtures that week. Doubt you'll want to bench one of your mids for De Roon.

          1. Blue&White85
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            This is probably true. I need to have a good look at it and decide when to wildcard. My team right now needs a few changes.

        2. MTPockets
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Not sure I'll even get 5.

          • MANGE TOUT RODNEY
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Valencia/Ibra for sure and then maybe a Boro player but don't know who yet

        3. Costa's Counsellor
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Jamie Vardy is such a tosser.

          1. Colonel Klink
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            I agree. Don't know what's set you off, but totally agree.

          2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Agreed but he got me 11 lovely points this week.

        4. Jam0sh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Hello guys. Was planning to take a hit after international break to replace Brunt and Llorente with Valencia and Vardy but Antonio injury might force me to keep Llorente. If Antonio is out for 3 weeks who would you replace him with:

          Heaton
          Brunt, Baines, Alonso
          Sigurdsson, Mane, Antonio, Alli
          Lukaku, Aguero, Llorente

          subs: Foster --- Robertson, Clayton, Holgate --- 1 FT, 5.1 ITB

          A) Antonio and Brunt -> Eriksen and Valencia (-4)
          B) Antonio and Brunt -> Hazard and Valencia (-4)
          C) Something else, what?

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            B

          2. Colonel Klink
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            Injuries and players with poor fixtures should stay the execution for Llorente. That's how I'm thinking for my team. Unless Gabbiadini suddenly gets declared resurrected. Of those I'd do A, though.

        5. PvA
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          So only WBA blank now? That is amazing

          Do we expect more blanks?

          1. I Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            no

            • 10 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            So it would be West Brom and who else? Who were they set to play?

          3. Colonel Klink

              • 10 Years

              Oh right, they play United. I am an idiot.

        6. PlayPercentage
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 days ago

          Cech -> de Gea seems an obvious move. May as well get a DGWer tucked away in my squad.
          Other goalkeeper is Jakupovic.

          1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

          Seeing as I'm only going to be able to buy based on allegiance for another 8 GWs, Antonio (injured) to Ramirez for Swa, Hul, Bur, Ars, (Bou & Sun)?

            • 13 Years

            Ramirez minutes seem very inconsistent, plus Boro don't score many and his knack for cards. I'd swerve

          Two Theories seems to emerge for those with All Chips remaining, what are people doing?

          Option 1 - GW 34 BB Instead of TC

          This mean using the 5 or so FT from now until gw34 to bring Man U Pal & Mid assets in for their DGW this fixture some of which are going to fill the bench, this allows your more choice for the TC chip

          Option 2 - GW37 BB instead instead of TC

          This means you don't have to bring in lesser sought after players for the BB i.e. the likes on Palace Mid Assets but with this also comes fewer options for the TC chip come 34-37

          GW38 seems unanimous for AoA

          what are peoples thoughts?

        10. Mookty

          Fancying Sane to Tadic and/or Llorente to Gabbi this week, is this sensible? 1FT

            • 14 Years
            7 years, 10 days ago

            yeah why not. The two players you are bringing in are either not nailed or injured.

        12. Numb

          7 years, 10 days ago

          Anyone else looking forward to the posts that try to claim that X or Y Palace / Middlesboro player "might be good for the next few weeks actually". And United for that matter.
