FPL managers set for small Double Gameweek 34/35

The Premier League threw a small curveball our way on Thursday evening with a further fixture announcement.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will get either a small Double Gameweek 34 or 35, depending on the results of this weekend’s FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

Scoutcast old guard Mark Sutherns and Joe Lepper will be reacting to the news in a video for Premium Members from 6.30pm BST, which you can find at the bottom of this piece.

IF CHELSEA WIN

  • Chelsea’s Gameweek 37 match with Manchester United will move to Gameweek 34 (Thursday 28 April).
  • Chelsea would be left with a single fixture in Gameweek 37 (Leicester City at home), while United would blank.
  • Chelsea would have West Ham (h) and Man Utd (a) in Gameweek 34, while United would have Arsenal (a) and Chelsea (h)

IF CRYSTAL PALACE WIN

  • Crystal Palace’s Gameweek 37 match with Aston Villa will move to Gameweek 35 (Tuesday 3 May).
  • Both Palace (Everton away) and Villa (Burnley at home) will be left with a single fixture in Gameweek 37.
  • Palace would have Southampton (a) and Villa (a) in Gameweek 35, while Villa would have Norwich (h) and Palace (h).

The Premier League added that “any rearrangements for matches involving Liverpool or Manchester City will be confirmed in due course”.

    2FT £0 ITB. 1 FH remaining.

    After the DG34 bombshell, knee-jerk reaction is to take a -4 to do Salah + Raph + Coutinho -> Bruno (c) + Maddison + Mount. That leaves me £0.7 ITB to do Doherty to Alonso next week and I can captain Mount/James. Thoughts?

    Current team:

    Dubravka
    TAA - Robbo - White - Doherty - James
    Salah - Saka - Kulu
    Kane - Broja

    Bench: Ramsdale; Raphinha, Coutinho, Hwang

    1. Geriatric Unathletic

      Seem like a reasonable trade to me. I have already bought in Bruno and Cr7 as chasing money leagues and need the differentilas.

  2. Geriatric Unathletic

    For this week. Play Amartey or Rudiger? Amartey likely to start anyways?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      With Evans and Fofana back Amartey is no longer starting. Just play safe with Rudiger.

    Leicester!

    Showing again that the PL is the strongest league in the world. And you know UEFA and FIFA hate that.

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      They just hate Utd I think. Don’t seem to mind the rest of the PL

  9. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 19 days ago

    Which Leicester trio are the most essential now?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Schmeichel Maddison

    2. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Triple Maddison.

    3. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Trio? Semis will screw all

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

    5. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years

      Barnes Nacho KDH

  10. Camzy

    Brilliant Leicester goal. That was fantastic football.

  11. Well you know, Triffic

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Midweeks either side of GW35.

      1. Well you know, Triffic

      2 years, 19 days ago

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 19 days ago

    Could be Leicester v roma?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Yes, Roma or Bodoe/Glimt

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 19 days ago

        Nice. Roma would be good for entertainment purposes

        1. Aksekladden
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 19 days ago

          Mou is entertaing yes, but few teams are asnfun as Bodø glimt. And who dosent love a proper underdog?

  15. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 19 days ago

    Salah to Maddy

    Y or N ?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Easy tiger

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      No brainer!

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Surely there's an easier way.

    4. mdm
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      No. Maddy due a rest soon as Salah already rested

    5. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Barnes

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 19 days ago

        I doubt Maddison starts versus Newcastle!

    6. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      No.

  16. balint84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 19 days ago

    Just for 1 week
    A) Raphinha to Martinelli
    B) Doherty to Telles
    C) king to wood (-4)

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      B

      1. Jump in Micah
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 19 days ago

        Likely to play both?

  17. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 19 days ago

    With 45 and 13 minutes in the last two games,it seems that Barnes will start in both of the next PL games.

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Never know with Brenda

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      He was taken off because he was really really bad. Lookman on and were good, ayoze also bright when introduced. So those minutes can be read in many ways.

  18. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 19 days ago

    How to interpret the Leicester substitutions?

    Will we get a presser before the deadline?

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 19 days ago

    Looks like Maddison may not be the hot dgw33 pick then?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Warming the bench in one of the games

    2. schlupptheweek
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Atleast he's in form and the main man. It's not impossible he starts both and get 70 mins.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 19 days ago

        Lol why would he start? Meatless games

        1. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 19 days ago

          Is he a vegan?

    Evening all

    I have FH, BB, TC left and debating whether to play it this week or take a hit. My defence is up the spout though.

    Dub, Sa
    Rudiger Livra Doherty Tierney Kilman
    Salah kulu Maddison Saka Raphinha
    Kane adams weghorst

    Out - Tierney Doherty
    In - Cancelo Schar

    OR go for glory with the FH and make changes for the next 2 weeks for a GW37 BB

    Cheers for any input

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      Same here. Switch to Son?

  24. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 19 days ago

    With Leicester continuing in Europe does that make Justin a decent option as seems he been playing last couple of PL games and not in Europe?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Castagne has no competition, Justin & Periera fighting out.

      1. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 19 days ago

        Castagne may well make way for Thomas.

    A,B or c?
    A) 2FT GW33 FH34 WC35 BB36 (if Chelsea win)

    Tierney to justin?

  28. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 19 days ago

    Salah->Bruno(c) is very tempting with the news for a possible dgw34(i think that Che will win Palace) for ManUtd.Any thoughts?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      Gonna do that even before that possible dgw34

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      How well do you expect Bruno to do against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea over Salah v ManUtd and Everton? That's the essence of it, if you think he'll do well then no reason not to go for it

      1. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 19 days ago

        Why leave out the Norwich game in your comparison?

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 19 days ago

          Because I think everyone expects points for ManUtd attackers in that game and a fair few, so really IMO it's about what someone in this case thinks they'll do in the other games where points aren't as much of a given. (For what it's worth I don't think it's a given they'll comfortably beat Norwich, they scraped a 1-0 win via a late penalty earlier this season under Rangnick and little has changed since then.)

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 19 days ago

      No, I think that will backfire.

  29. Ayzay112728

    FH draft for 33

    Schmeichel
    White, Telles, Cancelo,
    Son, Bruno (c), Saka, Maddison + 1 more out of options below
    Wood, Ronaldo

    Bench - Raya, Davies, Rodriguez, Lawton

    Can’t make my mind up on 5th MF, was initially Barnes, but given he was just hooked at 45m not keen on him anymore:

    A) Martinelli
    B) ESR
    C) Cornet
    D) Ward Prowse
    E) Dewsbury Hall
