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.

    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.

  3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Which pair gets more points this week?

    A) Eze + Wood
    B) Mbeumo + Mateta

    1. RoyaleBlue

      Are we super confident Mateta is benched ?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 10 days ago

        No

    2. Punned It

      B, I think, but not because of Mateta.

  4. Manani

    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
      • 11 Years

      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!

    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
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 10 days ago

      Good moves imo.

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

  11. Magic Zico

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

    1. CoracAld2831

    2. KeanosMagic
      • 4 Years
      11 months, 10 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

      I’ve stuck with Pep after the above sensible advice

  13. SligoRovers1928
    • 1 Year
    11 months, 9 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
