What latest Double Gameweek announcements mean for our FPL squads

Both of Manchester United’s Double Gameweeks have been confirmed after details of their rearranged games were revealed on Friday afternoon.

The Red Devils were waiting on new dates for the Blank Gameweek 31 visit of Manchester City to Old Trafford and the Blank Gameweek 33 trip to Wolves.

The first of those has been pushed right back into Double Gameweek 35 and will be played on Wednesday, April 24.

The second of those, the trip to Molineux, has been brought forward into Double Gameweek 32, to be played on Tuesday, April 2.

That means we now know the schedule for the remainder of Manchester United’s season.

Their Double Gameweeks will look like this:

Double Gameweek 32: Watford (home) + Wolves (away)
Double Gameweek 35: Everton (away) + Manchester City (home)

The first of those looks more appealing than the second, with Paul Pogba (£8.8m) and Marcus Rashford (£7.8m) looking almost essential for Double Gameweek 32, possibly even Triple Captain candidates.

For now, we only have one set of Double Gameweek fixtures for Manchester City which looks like this:

Double Gameweek 35: Tottenham (home) + Manchester United (away)

If Manchester City win their FA Cup quarter-final against Swansea, that will add a Gameweek 33 home match against Cardiff to their list of psotponed fixtures.

With Double Gameweek 35 now already taken for them, it could mean we have an opportunity to pig out on their assets in Double Gameweek 32 with Fulham (away) and Cardiff (home) the potential cannon fodder.

As for Wolves, their Double Gameweek 32 looks like this:

Double Gameweek 32: Burnley (away) + Manchester United (home)

Currently outstanding for Wolves is their postponed Gameweek 31 meeting with Arsenal.

With Double Gameweek 32 now taken up for them, it is probable that this will move to Double Gameweek 35. If that were to happen, then they would have a nice looking set of doubles that week of Brighton (home) and Arsenal (home).

The Premier League have confirmed that there will be no more Double Gameweek announcements until after the FA Cup quarter-final matches on March 16 and 17, which coincide with Blank Gameweek 31.

    Kun to Auba (c) or AWB to Perreira and Son (C) ?
    Thanks,

    1. davidmcnamara
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      second op

  2. Alli
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    AWB injury means I only have 10 playing. Kun > Auba for -4?

    1. Merlinsnose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      WB out for Periera?

      1. Alli
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Already did Digne > Pereira

  3. nkhoughton
    • 8 Years

    Is AWB expected to miss rest of season?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully not.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      apparently not too serious however I can play him only in 2 GW's till the end so I think I am going to sell.

    Bottomed 🙁

    Best pick here with 1FT?

    A. AWB+Martial >> Periera+FAnderson (-4)

    B. Martial+Rich >> Pogba+Almiron (-4)

    C. Martial+Kamara >> Arnie+Harvey Barnes (-4)

    D. Martial/Rich >> FAnderson (free)

    Fabianski
    Kolasinac • Doherty* • AWB** • Bednarek
    Mané • Salah • Son • Martial* • Rich**
    Rashford
    (Button** / Aguero** / Digne** / Kamara**)

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I like a. You have them both for 31 then too. But no pogba for 4 gws is a risk in his form.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks mate. Totally lost on what to do

    2. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I have similar issues. Just did D with Siggy out for Anderson, hoping Martial might at least net me a point 🙁

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, my teams a mess. I think my season is over

        1. Bucket Man
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Mine was long time back. Low TV low rank, and poor team. Best of luck anyhow!

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA

            You too pal 🙂

  5. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Son or Auba (c)?

    1. Merlinsnose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Auba, Son Vc

  6. arndff_
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you go for?

    A) Auba
    B) Anderson

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      To captain or buy?

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry. To buy.

        1. Forever In Our Shadow
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Aderson means you have him for 31 too. Auba could explode this weekend

          1. arndff_
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah. So tricky because of that.

  7. Sarriball Time
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Guaita nailed...?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      His spot to lose.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      His place to lose imo

    3. Sarriball Time
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Then you guys know any GK of less than 4.3..? Thanks

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I would keep him personally

        1. Sarriball Time
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Thank you.

    just wondering the recent hype on pereira, Leicester have consistently leaked in goals in the supposedly easier games and am not sure he will get attacking returns that consistently.....is there something am missing...SMEs in the house pls advise

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      great fixtures potential on both ends and no blanks. no brainer. OOP too. The potential is there

  9. jia you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I'm actually feeling really content with no WC, BB or TC left to play!
    Not too much planning involved, just a bit of balance:
    BGWs 8-9 players
    FH GW32
    Simples 😉
    Anybody else in the same boat?

            I dunno mate, think I can hold my own the way it's playing out!

      • AuFeld
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Do you think you have made the right decisions thus far?

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          For the most part really, but I play the game in much more extreme conditions that most! Eg, I'm Salahless for the season, have taken lots of hits and on my 13th different captaincy pick.

      • Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Imo your impact in 31-33 will be negligible - in fact a good FH32 can even get you ahead.

        I'd be concerned about your GW35 team though.

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers, yeah thinking the same and with point in the bag I don't mind taking a few hits for GW35 if needs be

    2. Tmel
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Guaita
      Robertson Doherty TAA Jonny
      Anderson Salah Pogba Son(c)
      Jimenez Rash
      (Ederson Kamara Sterling AWB)

      Down to a bare 11:

      a) Kamara > Rondon (-4)and bench Jonny
      b) Stick and hope all 11 are fit and play

    3. jorgenoj
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Which option?

      1FT. 0.0 ITB

      Etheridge - Speroni
      Kola - TAA - AWB - Holebas - Doherty
      Salah - Sane - Son - Pogba - Lamela
      Auba - Rashford - Jimenez

      A) Sane --> Felipe Anderson
      B) Sane + Holebas --> Felipe Anderson + Pereira (-4)
      C) Sane + Lamela --> Bench fodder + Mane (-4)
      D) Save

    4. laveshp
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Boysss.. Here is my GW27 Team:

      Lossl
      Robertson ⦁ Doherty ⦁ Pereira
      Dendoncker ⦁ Salah ⦁ Son ⦁ Pogba ⦁ Felipe Anderson (C)
      Rashford ⦁ Jimenez

      Subs: DE GEA, AWB, Bednarek, Aguero.

      2 QUESTIONS:

      1. Play Lossl (vs new) OR DE GEA (VS LIV) (Save points?)
      2. Son (C) vs burnley or Felipe Anderson (C) vs FULHAM AT HOME?

      (Burley tightening up at the back, Fulham has the worst defence in the league and Europe.)

      Cheers!

      Any insights welcome 🙂

      Overall Rank: 21k 🙂

      Please help here and let me know what you would do??

      I am struggling to field 11 due to owning Aguero and some injuries, I have already made 1 transfer (Digne > Pereira). What should I do:

      A) Do nothing - start TAA and hope everyone plays - no subs to come in.

      B) AWB > Schar -4

      C) Aguero > Auba or Laca

      D) Brooks > starting 4.5

      1. laveshp
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I wouldn't do anything. (A)

    7. Lignja
      • 6 Years

      Lejuene or Clayne for Awb replacement

    8. madame shelly
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Is kolasinac not first choice anymore or was he just rested for europa ?

      1. laveshp
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        rested.

    9. Sarriball Time
      • 5 Years

      Nailed on GK for less than name 4.3..? Thanks.

      1. AuFeld
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Guaita or Boruc. You're welcome.

    10. ooooo
      • 6 Years

      Richarlison to Felipe anderson for free?

      1. laveshp
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        1000000000000% - I'm considering captaining Anderson this week. Richarlison looks like he is done for the season.

    11. laveshp
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      2 QUESTIONS:

      1. Play Lossl (vs new) OR DE GEA (VS LIV) (Save points?)
      2. Son (C) vs burnley or Felipe Anderson (C) vs FULHAM AT HOME?

      (Burley tightening up at the back, Fulham has the worst defence in the league and Europe.)

    12. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A) Play Höjberg and hope no benchplayer needed(have AWB Sterling Alonso)
      B) AWB to Chilwell(double up with Pereira) for a hit
      C) AWB to Rice/Lascelles/Ake for a hit
      Already have 7 players who play GW31

    13. davies
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Anything worth a hit or GTG?

      (0.6 ITB)
      Fabianski
      Robertson Doherty Bennett Bednarek
      Salah Son (C) Pogba Camarasa
      Rashford Rondon

      Boruc AWB ***** *****

      Cheers.

    14. Patch
      • 6 Years

      Panic time?

      Anderson or Arnie???

      Answer required!

      1. laveshp
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I'd personally go for Anderson (or Antonio as a diff). Arnautovich injury every single gameweek is just too much. Quite annoying.

        1. Patch
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Ok yeah and with transfers being a rare thing since BGw31 on the horizon...I think that is the right answer

    15. Big Col
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Already taken a -4, but still only got 10 players.

      With Balbuena, Brooks & AWB all injured and Aguero not playing, would you do;

      Aguero to Aubumeyang for another -4 and Captain Auba?

    16. Champions united
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Who to captain
      Auba
      Son

      1. laveshp
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Son. - From an arsenal fan.

    17. AMP
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Captain >?????

      SON or FAnderson ....

      Burnley is resettled and looks much stronger.

      Very tempting to go Andersen.

      Pls help what are you doing !

      1. laveshp
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Im in the same boat. Really want to captain Fanderson, fulham worst defence in the league. Plus it kinda feels like the Son run is coming to an end. But all my mini league rivals are going Son, and I'm 2nd in the league. So might go for the boring one.

        1. AMP
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Very right feeling but if Son blanks and you pick Felippe than is good differential 4 u !

    18. TheR2U4
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm in a bit of a pickle here.
      15 squad players - 5 with no game - 2 Injured - 5 playing against each other - 2 Spurs and 2 Wolves

      Lloris Speroni

      Kolasinac Bednarek Doherty Lindelof Luiz

      Jota Martial Sane Richarlison Hazard

      Llorente Firmino Aguero

      Do I do my Free Hit now or take an 4/8 point hit on 2/3 players?

    19. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Is Harvey Barnes actually a decent pick?

    20. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      ederson to etheridge + 11 starting players
      or
      loven/awb to periera/yedlin + 10 starting players

    21. Mr. Greedy
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Team is looking rough this week

      Pat, Hart

      Digne, Keane, Wan Bissaka, Robertson, Doherty

      Pogba, Salah, Richarlson, Son, Hojbjerg

      Aguero, Rashford, Mitrovic

      Should I use free hit? 4/8 point hit?

    22. MadMarcelo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      When is everyone (who still has them) playing their WC / BB / FH / TC?

      GW30 - WC
      BGW31 - FH
      DGW32 - BB
      DGW35 - TC

      How does that look?

      1. laveshp
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yea thats one of the 2 norms. I'm personally doing:

        GW31 - TC (Salah vs FUL)
        GW32 - FH
        GW34 - WC
        GW35 - BB

      2. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Gw33 might be tough this way.
        Im thinking FH32, WC34,BB35, already used TC though.
        WC32,FH33,BB35 Im also considering. I have already 7 players for GW31 but if you have very few for that it depends...
