When will Double Gameweek 36 + Blank Gameweek 37 be confirmed?

THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY THE LATEST FIXTURE ANNOUNCEMENT

We’ve just had a succession of Blank and Double Gameweeks in FPL, the last of which was Gameweek 34.

But there is the possibility of another Double Gameweek and another Blank Gameweek further down the track.

POSSIBLE BLANK GAMEWEEK 37

Gameweek 37 (the weekend of May 17/18) clashes with the FA Cup final.

Any sides making the final will have their Gameweek 37 fixtures postponed.

There’ll be a maximum of two matches called off:

GW37 Premier League fixtureStatus
Arsenal v Newcastle UnitedOn
Aston Villa v Tottenham HotspurOn
Brentford v FulhamOn
Brighton and Hove Albion v LiverpoolOn
Chelsea v Manchester UnitedOn
Crystal Palace v Wolverhampton WanderersPostponed
Everton v SouthamptonOn
Leicester City v Ipswich TownOn
Manchester City v BournemouthPostponed if Manchester City beat Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals
West Ham United v Nottingham ForestPostponed if Nottingham Forest beat Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals

It could be, however, that the postponed matches are simply moved back to the midweek after Gameweek 37. That would mean that there’s no Blank Gameweek at all.

POSSIBLE DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 36?

There is the alternative scenario of the postponed Gameweek 37 matches being brought forward to the midweek after Gameweek 36.

That will create a Double Gameweek 36 and a Blank Gameweek 37 for the clubs affected.

The West Ham United website, for instance, has already hinted at Gameweek 36 as a new date for their clash with Nottingham Forest should it need to be rearranged.

WHEN WILL WE KNOW FOR SURE?

Blank Gameweek 37 FA Cup

The FA Cup semi-finals take place on the weekend of Gameweek 34.

We will know by the evening of Sunday 28 April, therefore, which two Gameweek 37 fixtures are postponed.

It’s expected that new dates for those matches will be announced in the days after that, very likely before the Gameweek 35 deadline.
