Confirmations for remaining FPL Double Gameweeks

The Premier League have announced the full line-up of fixtures for all the remaining Double Gameweeks of the 2018/19 season.

They have confirmed that Gameweeks 32, 34 and 35 will all feature an expanded number of matches.

Manchester City’s are the pick of the bunch as they are set for a Double of Fulham (away) and Cardiff (H) in Gameweek 32.

Meanwhile, Brighton will have three Double Gameweeks between now and the end of the season.

We have listed all the additional fixtures below and will give our initial thoughts on the programme, which we will update throughout the afternoon.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 32

Here are the pairs of fixtures for those playing twice in Double Gameweek 32…

Brighton: Southampton (H) + Chelsea (A)

Cardiff City: Chelsea (H) + Manchester City (A)

Chelsea: Cardiff City (A) + Brighton (H)

Crystal Palace: Huddersfield (H) + Spurs (A)

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 34

We have also been handed a further Double Gameweek for Brighton and Cardiff in Gameweek 34…

Brighton: Bournemouth (H) + Cardiff City (H)

Cardiff City: Burnley (A) + Brighton (A)

The Premier League have also confirmed the line-up for Double Gameweek 35…

Arsenal: Crystal Palace (H) + Wolves (A)

Manchester United: Everton (A) + Manchester City (H)

Southampton: Newcastle (A) + Watford (A)

Spurs: Manchester City (A) + Brighton (H)

Watford: Huddersfield (A) + Southampton (H)

Wolves: Brighton (H) + Arsenal (H)

INITIAL THOUGHTS

As had already been suggested by Pep Guardiola, Manchester City have been handed an appealing Double Gameweek in Gameweek 32.

They will face Fulham and Cardiff and present Fantasy managers with the chance to capitalise on a glut of attacking returns.

A triple-up on Manchester City options will surely be a popular strategy for anyone playing the Free Hit in Gameweek 32.

Sergio Aguero (£11.8m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) are likely to take up the first two spots, but who takes the third? We’ll be looking at that in the coming days.

Chelsea have also been handed some positive fixtures for the next round of action.

They will travel to face Cardiff before hosting a travel sick Brighton side to Stamford in the following midweek.

That will further the case for Gonzalo Higuaín (£9.6m) and Eden Hazard (£10.9m) in Free Hit squads.

Those looking for budget options in Gameweek 35 could turn to Watford as their Double Gameweek 35 looks very promising indeed.

The Hornets travel to Huddersfield first, before hosting Southampton midweek.

Troy Deeney (£5.9m) and Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) will arguably be the most popular players to look at although with the FA Cup semi-finals looming large, Javi Gracia may shift his focus there.

A NEW CHIP STRATEGY?

Until today, we thought we knew what the optimum chip strategies would be for Fantasy managers.

However, a Double Gameweek for Brighton in Gameweek 34 does open up a new chip strategy for some looking for a different approach.

They will host Bournemouth and Cardiff in Gameweek 34 in what looks like a hugely appealing set of fixtures.

Both the Cherries and Bluebirds have been poor away from home this season and the Seagulls themselves will be fighting for their own Premier League survival.

Gameweek 34 had been pencilled in as the best time to play a second Wildcard ahead of deploying the Bench Boost in Double Gameweek 35.

However, this confirmation of a hugely appealing Double for Brighton the week before could allow those who have already used their second Wildcard to use their Triple Captain chip instead.

It would be a hugely differential move to do so but Mat Ryan (£4.4m), Shane Duffy (£4.7m) and Glenn Murray (£6.3m) all stand the chance of securing double-figure hauls in Double Gameweek 34.

This strategy might not even be open to those without their second Wildcard.

Anyone who has not played the Free Hit on Gameweek 32 might be tempted to play the Wildcard instead, use the Free Hit in Blank Gameweek 33 so that they can use the Triple Captain chip on a Brighton player.

Otherwise, the Triple Captain chip will still have to be used in a single Gameweek, with Liverpool at home to Huddersfield in Gameweek 36, Manchester United at trip to the Terriers in Gameweek 37 or Cardiff’s visit to Old Trafford on the final day of the season the favourite options at this point.

Also, those who have already played their Free Hit chips, and are unable to do so in Double Gameweek 32, might want to consider the Triple Captain chip then.

Manchester City’s double of Fulham and Cardiff makes one of either Aguero or Sterling an excellent option for that chip if it looks like they’ll play a significant part in both matches.

      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      I have the exact same draft but with Azpi/Deu over Luiz/Milo - considering your duo though out of fear of Watford rotation. Looks good to me.

      1. nomanenomata
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks

    2. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Is Lindelof better than Shaw?

      Also, why such a good bench?

      1. nomanenomata
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks Shaw's on 9 yellows so just in case he misses second game. Bench just trying to get players that play just in case.

        1. chaser123
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Unlikely that any of your starting line up are going to miss both games.....so I would downgrade the bench to the minimum possible cost....but that's just my opinion

          1. nomanenomata
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 11 days ago

            Thanks will play around with it.

    Interesting read. Anyone planning to WC instead of FH this week now so they can triple captain Duffy ?!

  5. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    What do you guys think about having Deulofeu in your FH32 team? He's in my team at the moment but I could definitely see him only starting the MUN game.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Same thinking and thats why he's not in mine.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Thinking about it mate.
      Jimenez/Deulofeu/Jota all are options for me atm.

    3. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Gracia loves to rotate, see what he did for the City game last round.

    4. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      He's in my first draft.. will he survive till the gw begins? No idea

  6. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Might as well post a different draft
    Kepa, 3.9
    Kolasinac, Schlulpp, Boly, Bednarek, 3.9
    Sterling, Pogba, Hazard, Bernardo, Milo
    Aguero, Rashford, Crouch

    Worried about Jiminez otherwise it would be Ederson, Rudiger, Romeu, Jim in for Kepa, Boly, Bernardo, Crouch

  7. LeicesterNygaard
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Aubameyang or Lacazette for gw33?

  8. amit1964
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    son or pogba?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Pog due to fix

  9. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Rash and Luiz or Higuain and Schlupp?

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      rash luiz

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Leaning towards that.

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      A

  10. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    With no FH would you go for Hazard over Sterling?
    Seeing as how Hazard plays in GW33 but Sterling blanks

    Thanks

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      No way to have both? Reluctantly Hazard if not.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Unless buying this week.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          I can get both if I sell both Salah and Mane.
          But I would struggle to buy them both back following werk

    2. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Sterling for me.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      No, Sterl over Haz

  11. elchilangles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    who is a better option for TC this week: Sterling or Aguero? Will sterling play in both???

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Aguero has to be !!

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Aguero for me.

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    I already have pogba luiz higuain hazard AWB Doherty Jimmy in my team. Doesn't FH seem a bit like a waste ??

    1. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      When else are you going to use it?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        33? Use TC this gw . Could bring aguero and sterling for a couple of hits ...

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      A little yes.

  13. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    chances of Jota starting both, should start burnley and then big game vs MU?

  14. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    So dgw 32 FH bonanza is confirmed:-

    3 City
    3 United
    3 Chelsea
    2.Palace

    Boom! Let's go

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      1 too many united and chelsea.

  15. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    When will the tracker be updated?

    1. Rupert The Horse

  17. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 11 days ago

    Is Bernardo silva a crazy differential choice over sterling?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      A little yes.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Yes. He's great for starts, not so much FPL points.

      Alongside Sterling, maybe. To 'cover' Sterling or take his place, no!

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Great choice alongside.
      Crazy choice over Sterling.

  18. JohnnyMagrinho
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Laporte projected only 0.29pts for GW32 on the RMT tool.

      What am I missing?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Will he play after being injured? RMT probably not updated for his injury status

    • boogle
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      A) Kane, Pedro, Mili
      B) Hazard, Son, Deulofeu

    • Stoic
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      FH 32 . It comes down to this

      A) Kane + Duffy
      B) Alli + B.Silva/Jiminez/Bat/Zaha/Deeney

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        A

    • FC Bazalona
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      RMT free hit ?? Any changes ?

      Kepa
      Luiz Lindelof AWB Laporte
      Deulofeu haz pog sterling
      Kane Kun (c)

      Hamer Dendoncker crouch Valery
      Thanks guys

    • Rover
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      How's the free hit team looking in this outfit:

      De Gea
      Laporte Alonso AWB
      Hazard(vc) Pogba D.Silva Milivojevic
      Kane Aguero(c) Jimenez

      Stekelenberg Romeu Simpson Connolly

      1. Webbinho
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Not convinced by Alonso game time, I'd replace Romeu with a doubler on case bench needed.

    • Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      Is it time to use TC? Aguero best candidate?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Bet he is !!

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        If no FH then probably.

      3. Webbinho
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        if we know he starts both then 100%. But he could easily be benched for one game

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 11 days ago

          Almost guaranteed more game time than Sterling.

          1. Whazza
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 11 days ago

            Based on?

    • Webbinho
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      So, here is my first draft. Any thoughts?

      Lloris (Guita)
      Laporte, Lindelof, Azpilicueta Schlupp (Bednarek)
      Hazard, Sterling, Mane, Pogba (Camarasa)
      Aguero, Bats (Deeney)

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 11 days ago

        Why Lloris?

    • TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 11 days ago

      How does this first draft look?

      Foster
      Lindelof Azpi Luiz
      Bernando Sterling Pogba Hazard
      Aguero Rashford Jimenez

      Other version could be

      Jimenez to Zaha
      Bernando to Jota
      Foster to Kepa
      Azpi to Laporte

      Thoughts?
