That’s your lot for Blank and Double Gameweeks in 2024/25 – there are no more currently scheduled.

That’s because Crystal Palace v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester City v Bournemouth will stay in Gameweek 37.

Those two fixtures can no longer go ahead on the weekend of Gameweek 37 due to the involvement of City and Palace in the FA Cup final on Saturday 17 May.

But they’ve merely been pushed back a few days into the following midweek and not brought forward into Gameweek 36.

FIXTURE OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINING FOUR GAMEWEEKS

So, then, a rare instance of four standard 10-match Gameweeks to end the season.

Tom Freeman had a look at the teams with the best remaining fixtures in an article earlier this week, which thankfully is still relevant after today’s announcement.

Lateriser also identified the best players and teams to target in the last month in his latest article on Thursday.

HEADACHE FOR THOSE WITH CHIPS REMAINING

How do you use the Free Hit chip? 4

For anyone who has a chip (or two/three/four) left in their back pocket, today’s announcement is a bit of a blow.

That goes especially so for those with Assistant Manager and Triple Captain chips, given the high upside of a head coach/captain with a Double Gameweek.

Those with a Free Hit remaining would have no doubt been hoping for maximum fixture carnage, too, as they’d have been able to negotiate the transition from Double Gameweek 36 to Blank Gameweek 37 with more ease than those without.

Remaining Bench Boosts would have mostly featured single Gameweek players anyway, so there’s perhaps not as much damage done there.

We’ve put together a list of possible windows in which to use each chip if you still have some remaining.

        Williams

      City fans, what’s the likelihood Sav starts vs Wol? Is it match-up dependent that helps predict if Pep will play with proper wingers? If so, is wolves a match-up he’s likely to favour Sav?

        No clue. I have Foden. And I am still looking for answers.

    • DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      Which pair gets more points this week?

      A) Eze + Wood
      B) Mbeumo + Mateta

      1. RoyaleBlue
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 8 days ago

        Are we super confident Mateta is benched ?

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 8 days ago

          No

      2. Punned It
          7 months, 8 days ago

          B, I think, but not because of Mateta.

      3. Manani

        A. Mateta > Wissa (bench Sarr)
        B. Save FT

        Used my BB in DGW 34 and got a return of 5 points. No more DGW's is fine by me!

        Why isnt Saka predicted to start? They are still battling for champions league spot. What am i missing?

        1. MikeS

          7 months, 8 days ago

          Hardly battling it, they're 6 points clear with superior goal difference and looking to progress into the final rather than just qualify for it!

        Mateta, Saka, Murphy/Sarr -> Wissa, Bowen, Mbeumo for free?

          That's gold

        2. KeanosMagic
          • 3 Years

          I'm considering for a -8!

        What moves would you make to make best of GW36 BB with this team? 1 ft, 2.8 itb

        Raya Areola
        Gvardiol Dias Milenkovic Williams Kerkez
        Salah Saka Eze Rogers Murphy
        Isak Marmoush Mateta

        I'm looking at

        Saka -> Mbeumo GW35
        Raya -> Sels GW36

        1. CoracAld2831
          • 4 Years
          7 months, 8 days ago

          Good moves imo.

          Are you planning to save FT this week so you can do them next week for free?

        7 months, 8 days ago

        Keep one out of these, the other two will be replaced by more punty options:
        A. Saka
        B. Mateta
        C. Savinho

        1. CoracAld2831
          • 4 Years
          7 months, 8 days ago

          B.

        2. KeanosMagic
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 8 days ago

          Do you mean keep and have to play?
          Or keep and bench.

          If keeping and benching one, Saka for me.

          If you are keeping and having to play one, I'd keep Mateta

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 8 days ago

            Good point, I am BB-ing when possible this week, so probably to play

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 8 days ago

          I’ve stuck with Pep after the above sensible advice

      12. SligoRovers1928
          7 months, 8 days ago

          What should I do?
          A) Mateta and Bruno to Wood and Mbeumo
          B)Mateta and Saka to Wood and Mbeumo
          C)Mateta and Sarr to Vardy and Mbeumo
          D)Saka and Bruno to Mbeumo and Bowen
          E) Saka and Sarr/Rogers to Mbeumo and Bowen
          All of them are for a -4 each

          1. SligoRovers1928
              7 months, 8 days ago

              Thanks in advance 🙂

              • 10 Years
              7 months, 8 days ago

              Maybe just Bruno to Mbeumo?

              Why do keen to get rid of Mateta?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 8 days ago

            Yes, or No?
