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.

    Anyone interested in elanga?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Yep. Just means no double up on Bournmouth attack in 38 though.

    2. Leo14CFC

      Will get him in next week

  3. theshazly

    Martinez ( Raya )
    Gvardi Murillo Kiwior ( Konate / Munoz )
    Salah Saka Rogers Sarr ( Rashford )
    Isak Wood Marmoush

    1 FT / 0.6 ITB

    Thinking of Saka > Mbuemo

    Any suggestions ?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Can’t afford Rashford to Mbeumo?

      1. theshazly
        • 2 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        If I can, ofcourse i would have done it!

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 12 days ago

          Salty much? It was an first obv question.

          Saka > Mbuemo looks good. Is Rashford to Bowen an option?

          1. Rougie
            • 14 Years
            11 months, 12 days ago

            To be fair to the OP, he gives his money in the bank, which shows he can’t afford the Rashford to Mbeumo switch.

            1. Pep bites Kun
              • 9 Years
              11 months, 12 days ago

              Fair point, but I think the question was posed honestly and the response was a bit abrupt.

              Personally I would have stated the obvious rather than have the good folk I'm asking questions to, do the work for me.

              Keep it simple

  4. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    A) Savinho & Mateta to Mbuemo & Wissa -4
    B) Saka to Mbuemo

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      B

    2. Leo14CFC
      • 1 Year

  5. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Current team. 1FT. 0.8m
    Raya
    Gvardiol,Munoz,Konsa
    Salah(c),KDB,Saka,Asensio
    Isak,Marmoush,Mateta

    Areola,Kiwior,Sarr,Livramento

    GW35 ~ Saka > Mbuemo
    GW36 ~ Roll FT
    GW37 ~ Mateta > Watkins
    GW38 ~ Sarr,Marmoush > Kliuvert,Evanilson
    Easy as that.

    1. bobicek92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Not interested in Cunha for 36-38?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Of course, and Wood but only 4 FT’s.
        Can’t have them all.

      2. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Could always do Mateta > Cunha in 36 then Marmoush > Watkins in 37.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          11 months, 12 days ago

          If there's a Man City leak that Marmoush is benched again, does that change your plans?

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            11 months, 12 days ago

            I’d be tempted to take a hit and try and get a head of transfer plans.
            Maybe Watkins in now.

  6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Which option:

    A) Mateta to Watkins
    B) Eze to Mbeumo

    Watkins definitely has more to play for.

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      A

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      B

    3. Leo14CFC
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 12 days ago

      B - easier fixtures

  7. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Currently transfer thoughts:

    Leaning towards keeping Saka this GW as I can afford Savinho/Sarr to Mbeumo.

    Undecided with the 2nd FT. Couple of options:
    - Mateta to Wissa
    - Savinho/Sarr to Bowen

    (AM24-26, WC31, TC32, BB33, FH34)
    2FT 2.8ITB
    Raya
    Munoz Gvardiol Saliba
    Salah Rogers Sarr Savinho
    Isak Marmoush Mateta
    (Areola Saka Livramento Konsa )

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Actually can't afford Savinho/Sarr to Bowen after buying Mbeumo.

      It'll have to be Saka to Bowen

      1. Big Mike
        • 3 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Yep, that would be my choice too.

  8. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Palace Vs NFO tb
    Everton Vs Fulham tb
    Everton Vs Southampton

    Could be nice AM option. Or just start with Everton Vs Ipswich

    1. Seaman
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      If Everton wins in GW35 (and city beats Wolves) think no TB with Fulham,

      TB Wolves Vs Brighton GW36

      1. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Ah Damnit. Wolves Vs Brighton isn't TB as it stands mate

        1. Seaman
          • 2 Years
          11 months, 12 days ago

          I suppose that City beats Wolves and Everton beats Ipswich.
          Everton and Wolves on 39 points. EVE vs WOL 4-0 & 1-1
          If BOU don't win ARS and BRE beats MUN (no matter what happens in the Brighton game) then we will have tb at the game WOL vs BHA.

          AM
          GW35 Glasner tb
          GW36 Pereira tb
          GW37 Pereira vs a depleted CRY or another manager if you have a transfer to give.

          I will do it.

          GL

  9. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Plan to do Saka to Bowen or Mbeumo, with Moyes as AM cause I have 3 City. Should I start Martinez in goal?

    Reya (Martinez)
    Gvardiol, Saliba, Ruben, Munoz (Milenkovic)
    Salah, Mbeumo, Rogers (c) (Sarr, Rashford)
    Isak, Marmoush, Mateta

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Saka > Mbeumo. Play Martinez.

  10. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    I'm doing Sarr to Mbeumo, and I need to free up 0.2 with my other FT.

    A. Saka to Bowen
    B. Ruben/Muñoz to Ait-Nouri
    C. Mateta to Cunha

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      A

      Saka surely won't start with a must win game on Wednesday

  11. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Time to offload Crystal Palace assets now that it's confirmed that there are no doubles?

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      i mean they still play spurs so expect goals galore

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Not sure, their next few fixtures look alright to me

    3. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      No, they can still return for you. It's just that other assets may return more.

  12. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    would you get rid of Gibbs White or Palmer to get bowen in ?

    Palmer terrible form is such a spanner int the works

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Palmer. The guy is a ghost

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        yeah it does seem to feel that way

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Sell Palmer. Hold MGW for LEI (H) in 36

  13. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Saka, Savinho -> Mbeumo, Bowen (-4) worth it?

    Wondering Savinho's chances of starting vs. WOL...

  14. MrMartini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Prepping for a now less exciting BB in GW36

    Over next 2 weeks do Bowen and Mbuemo outscore Diaz and Saka to justify a -4 this week?

    Logic being ill then have some cash spare to get in some Notts Forest Gk/Def in GW36 v Lei and Bowen and Mbuemo have better fixtures in GW36 than Saka and Diaz as Liverpool play Arsenal.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Go for it

  15. Skout
    • 6 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    This news seems like a win for people that have used all their chips already?

    1. Sloopy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      This ^

  16. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    I'll get Saka in 38, but am I missing anyone obvious here? Would be a -8, and then no more transfers until 38

    Allison Sels
    Saliba Gvardiol Munoz Milenkovic Burn
    Salah Bowen Mbuemo KDB Rogers
    Isak Watkins Wissa

  17. SPFC
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    A- Start Rogers (FUL)
    B- Start Evanilson (ars)
    C- Buy Bowen for Rogers and start Bowen (TOT)

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      A

  18. The Mighty One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    I still have the FH and I think I must decide today on which week to use it. I held it for 36 since I was already pretty strong for 34.

    Now I am considering FH in 37: EVE home to sou, Villa home to tot, CHE home to mun.

    My moves this week should be based upon the 3 GWs where I exclude the FH week.

    Anyone care to add more strategy to that? Cheers all. Best of luck down the stretch.

    1. KeanosMagic
      • 4 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      What does your team look like in 37 without FH?
      I used my FH last year in 38 and you can get good upside in the week due to potential team leaks and usually 38 has more goals

      1. The Mighty One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Great point. I think I will be decent for 37. Having 15 good players for 38 will be a nice way to close with a bang. If there are any benchings then it will still be covered with upside. Thanks.

        1. KeanosMagic
          • 4 Years
          11 months, 12 days ago

          Yeah, plus it means you can maximise your transfers for short term gains

          1. The Mighty One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 months, 12 days ago

            Good luck Keano. I have King Eric as my avatar so i think we are aligned on our club too. Let me know if I can help your squad decisions at all. Cheers.

            1. KeanosMagic
              • 4 Years
              11 months, 12 days ago

              Yep, aligned.

              Weeeeeeeeeeeeee'llllllllllllll drink a drink a drink.

              God luck

              1. The Mighty One
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                11 months, 12 days ago

                ...greatest centre forward indeed.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      In your situation Id FH in 38.
      Some nice fixture swings. Triple Bournmouth against Leicester and triple Arsenal v Southampton. E.g

      Use FTs to maximise 35-37.

      1. The Mighty One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Those are tasty. Thanks.

  19. SPFC
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Best use for Assistant Manager?

    A- Guardiola in GW35 (WOL, sou and BOU)
    B- Pereira in GW36 (BHA and Table Bonus, cpl and possible Table Bonus, BRE and Table Bônus)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      A for me

    2. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Pereira for sure, that's way too good to ignore, even if Palace don't have table bonus it will be right after the FA Cup final

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      A. Pereira was my choice until Wolves rise up the table it's doubtful there will be table bonus for any of those fixtures now (only 1,2, & 4 place ahead of Wolves)

  20. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Best move here? 1.8m ITB

    A. Saka -> Mbeumo
    B. Saka/Sarr -> Mbeumo/Bowen -4
    C. Sarr/Mateta -> Mbeumo/Cunha -4

    Raya
    Munoz Gvardiol Milenkovic
    Salah Saka KDB Murphy
    Mateta Marmoush Isak

    Areola Sarr Konsa Kerkez

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      A

    2. Leo14CFC
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 12 days ago

      A only

  21. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Current front 8:
    Salah Palmer Eze Sarr Murphy
    Isak Mateta Wood

    2FTs, would you do Mateta to Watkins? Or anymore? Still have TC (not sure when to use)

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Wood TC36?

      I'm not sure...

      Palace might be worth holding for the next 2 or 3.

  22. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Best defence to invest for the next 3?
    a) NFO vs cry,LEI,whu
    or
    b) EVE vs IPS,ful,SOU

    1. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Everton. Two home fixtures against the bottom 3 sides.

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Forest have more to play for though... and Sels going for golden glove but I see ur point

  23. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Hey all. My rank is a disgrace this season so what do you all think. 2FT 3.4ITB

    Raya
    Gvardiol, Munoz, Konsa
    Salah, Saka, Sarr, Murphy
    Isak, Marmoush, Mateta
    Areola, Savinho, Williams, Livramento

    A) Roll
    B) Savinho to Mbuemo
    C) B and Saka to KDB

    A - gives more info for DGW and BGW.
    B - Even with a double Savinho has been a poor pick and probably will only play one fixture
    C - May mean I have too many BGW players and no transfers to deal with it but Saka probably won't play anyway.

    1. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Get Mbeumo imo, but don't sell Savinho, at least till he plays southampton. I would sell Saka first

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Thank you. Will he even play though. KDB I'd expect will have more chance of starting that fixture.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      B.

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        Thank you. Just seen no more double gameweeks according to FPL. Not looked at my team at all this week.

  24. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Wissa for a -4 likely to pay off Vs Mateta minutes risk over the next few weeks, right?

  25. Manani
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    BB?

    Sels Milenkovic Sarr Ruben

    (also got Munoz/Mateta I am playing)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      What's the bench in 36 when Forest/City/Palace have favorable fixtures?

      1. Manani
        • 14 Years
        11 months, 12 days ago

        got Raya/Saliba/Munoz/(Sarr/Mateta)

        can transfer out Raya/Saliba though

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          11 months, 12 days ago

          At this stage of the season, I would prefer to use FTs in attack with higher ceiling than defensive transfers to setup the BB for SGW players.

          Probably just BB35 if the players are fit/available

  26. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Is Watkins nailed?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Rashford likely out for the season

  27. balint84
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    A) Merino to Kudus
    B) Saka to Bowen

  28. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Marmoush to Wissa or roll FT?

    1. Leo14CFC
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 12 days ago

      Wisa is better

  29. balint84
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Bb with
    Henderson, Munoz, Murphy, Livramento on bench?

  30. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 12 days ago

    Anyone considering KDB?

    1. Leo14CFC
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 12 days ago

      I got him !
