FPL Double Gameweek 34 confirmed for six teams

Gameweek 34 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) will, as expected, be a ‘double’.

Six teams will play twice in this round of matches, with the following fixtures added to the 10 already in place:

FIXTURES ADDED TO GAMEWEEK 34
  • Brighton and Hove Albion v Manchester United (originally in Gameweek 28)
  • Liverpool v Fulham (originally in Gameweek 28)
  • Manchester City v West Ham United (originally in Gameweek 28)

We didn’t get any other fixture news beyond Gameweek 34, however, so three more Premier League matches remain without a new date:

OUTSTANDING FIXTURES THAT STILL NEED REARRANGING
  • Newcastle United v Brighton and Hove Albion (originally in Gameweek 25)
  • Brighton and Hove Albion v Manchester City (originally in Gameweek 32)
  • Manchester United v Chelsea (originally in Gameweek 32)

GAMEWEEK 34: THE DOUBLES

Manchester City’s double is the pick of the bunch, on paper. Fulham have conceded more goals than all teams bar Southampton in home matches this season, while West Ham United have the second-worst away record.

The Cottagers could also be without Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.6m), depending on how much further punishment is meted out by the Football Association.

Fulham’s own double-header is off-putting, although there is a sea of ‘blue’ on either side of Gameweek 34 on the Season Ticker.

Brighton and Hove Albion and Liverpool are both on home soil twice; that’s good news for Jurgen Klopp’s side in particular, given their travel sickness in 2022/23.

For the two Manchester clubs and West Ham, this extra fixture in Gameweek 34 only adds to the congestion caused by ongoing involvement in European competition. The Red Devils, for example, will play twice a week for the remainder of the season if they make it through their UEFA Europa League quarter-final with Sevilla. 

WHEN WILL THE OTHER OUTSTANDING FIXTURES BE SCHEDULED FOR?

FPL review: Bueno benched, Tete terrific, "never" sub Mitoma

Gameweek 37 is the only place that Brighton and Hove Albion v Manchester City and Manchester United v Chelsea can go if the two Manchester clubs keep progressing in Europe. We’ll only know if they have made the semi-finals of their respective UEFA club competitions after Gameweek 31.

That leaves Newcastle United v Brighton and Hove Albion, a match that many jobbing schedule sleuths thought would drop into Gameweek 30 or 31. That seems unlikely to happen now given that the TV schedule has been cemented up to and including Gameweek 35.

So the Magpies and the Seagulls seem set to end up clashing in Gameweek 36 instead, on a night in which Champions League, Europa League or Conference League semi-finals are simultaneously taking place.

Further schedule announcements for Gameweek 36 and 37 will provisionally be announced on April 6 (before Gameweek 30) and April 14 (before Gameweek 31) respectively.

We’ll have more reaction to the Double Gameweek 34 announcement over the coming week.

      Hmm good idea. However, I’m not sure how much of a differential there will be in comparison to squads that won’t us FH. Many teams own players from the likes of Brighton, city, United, and lvpool.

      I’m personally free hitting in GW32 as it helps me maximise GW32 since players from UTD, city, Brighton are blanking, then they double 2 weeks later.

    Zinchenko and Ode to Shaw and Bruno?

    Almost impossible to navigate the doubles and blanks perfectly now really but feels the most sensible moves given MAN U fixtures, Bruno minutes and his expected goals.

      We always get BGWs for the clashes with the League Cup Final and FA Cup quarter and semi-finals, and these matches can usually be rearranged to fit into three DGWs, the two biggest ones of which will be near the end of the season.

      Sometimes we get additional BGWs for other reasons - this season we had a complete Gameweek wiped out by the late Queen's death, and four more matches postponed because of the Queen's funeral, a rail strike and a clash with Arsenal's rearranged Europa League tie.

      So far this season we have had 7 DGWs (one of which was also a BGW), with 4 more to come.

      This will be by far the greatest number of DGWs in a season since 2009/10 when there were 12, mostly caused by the weather (not all Premier League clubs had undersoil heating then).

      My current team has about 4-5 starters for GW32, and I don't want to offload any of the blankers. I can field a GW34 team not too far off the FH posted below for free and TC Haaland. So, a no brainer for my team

        I'm the opposite. I currently only have 2 Brighton, 1 Man U, 1 Chelsea* and 0 City. So it's not such an easy decision. I have to decide between loading up on 34 doublers and FH in 32 - or top up on 32 players and FH in 34. The problem with the second option, is that New, Bri (2), City, Utd and Chelsea also have another dgw after 34 - so I would have to use transfers to get them, whereas the FH 32 option means they will mostly already be in my team by 34

          You could go either way then, I suppose. If you're on triple Arsenal still that definitely mitigates against FH32. But if you're playing the fixtures it might make sense to thin them to 1-2 & hold a full Brighton / Man Utd / Liverpool contingent beyond GW34, especially for 37.

            Interesting that you left out Man C there.

              Yeah, maybe that's a personal "tell". For me the City DGW is all about the Haaland TC. Not the most reliable team to triple up on & expect 6 starts, especially if still in UCL. Will consider Foden maybe but he'll be in direct competition with Bruno & Salah. Dias could be alright but I don't think I really want to tinker with my defence much

                If I get Foden it would probably just be a hokey cokey for Saka. Looking at something like this:
                Raya/Leno
                Trippier Shaw Estupinan
                Salah Rashford March Mitoma Saka/Foden/Bruno
                Haaland Darwin

      The GW34 doublers double repeatedly until end of season. So i intend to own them all using FTs.

      Free Hit in 32 only makes that all the easier.

          They will already own some of them. Start building now for GW34 and FH in 32.

          FH32 is the key here. Can keep my triple BHA, Rashford, Shaw, Haaland. And with my FTs add Darwin plus maybe 2 of Bruno/Foden/Salah

      Looks like a fh to bring in ederson and Trent/Darwin? As an ederson owner after the wc, he will bring pain and heartache
