Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea will both have a Double Gameweek 35 after their previously postponed meeting was rescheduled for Thursday 2 May.
It’s not the best-looking ‘double’ for either side:
| Spurs | Arsenal (h), Chelsea (a) |
| Chelsea | Aston Villa (a), Spurs (h) |
The announcement may not change too many chip plans, as it was assumed that Chelsea v Spurs would slot into Gameweek 35 or 36.
Wildcard usage will likely remain high in Gameweek 35, with Fantasy managers moving away from the seven doublers in Gameweek 34.
For those that haven’t got the luxury of a Wildcard, and aren’t already well stocked with Chelsea and Spurs assets, the double being in Gameweek 36 would have allowed an extra free transfer to remedy that. As it is, there’s now a sharp pivot from Gameweek 34, when Spurs blank and Chelsea face Arsenal.
Some managers may opt to swerve triple-ups from both sides anyway, given the relative difficulty of the fixtures.
DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 37
Three postponed matches remain without a date. They are:
- Brighton and Hove Albion v Chelsea
- Manchester United v Newcastle United
- Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City
They will almost certainly be moved to Double Gameweek 37.
24 days, 7 hours agoJust watched the highlights from the Chelsea v Man U game and I can't believe how many fans left early! I don't think it's ever acceptable to leave a game early no matter what the score is but when you're only 1 goal behind that seems mental.
