The Premier League threw a small curveball our way on Thursday evening with a further fixture announcement.

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will get either a small Double Gameweek 34 or 35, depending on the results of this weekend’s FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

Scoutcast old guard Mark Sutherns and Joe Lepper will be reacting to the news in a video for Premium Members from 6.30pm BST, which you can find at the bottom of this piece.

IF CHELSEA WIN

  • Chelsea’s Gameweek 37 match with Manchester United will move to Gameweek 34 (Thursday 28 April).
  • Chelsea would be left with a single fixture in Gameweek 37 (Leicester City at home), while United would blank.
  • Chelsea would have West Ham (h) and Man Utd (a) in Gameweek 34, while United would have Arsenal (a) and Chelsea (h)

IF CRYSTAL PALACE WIN

  • Crystal Palace’s Gameweek 37 match with Aston Villa will move to Gameweek 35 (Tuesday 3 May).
  • Both Palace (Everton away) and Villa (Burnley at home) will be left with a single fixture in Gameweek 37.
  • Palace would have Southampton (a) and Villa (a) in Gameweek 35, while Villa would have Norwich (h) and Palace (h).

The Premier League added that “any rearrangements for matches involving Liverpool or Manchester City will be confirmed in due course”.

    Newcastle fans: even if Willock is fit, do we think he'll get back into the starting XI straight away given how good Bruno, Shelvey and Joelinton looked together vs Wolves?

      I'd say no - Bruno was kept out of the side for the same reason when he arrived. Three matches in a week coming up, however, so Howe might hand him at least one start over the next seven days (if fit, which is a big if).

      Newcastle should just consider Joe Willock as squad depth. 20m for squad depth nowadays not bad. He had a purple last season is all, doesn't get ahead of anyone at the moment

      B. Salah -> Bruno for -4

      Or just keeping Kane and Salah.. currently leaning on B due to Salah’s most likely rotation

    A small part of me wishes we didn't get confirmation of this this early as I was hoping very few others would go for FH34 over this week if Chelsea progress but I'd say a few will consider it if they're not too attached to their plans now, but ah well. No-one will be sure of anything until post 33 deadline anyway so doesn't really matter

      Do you really need to FH34? It won't be that popular of a FH week.

      E.g. I wildcarded last week & have James, Havertz, Mateta & Ramsey to cover most benefit of a FH.

      As Doherty is injured, easy sell for a CRY (34) or AVL (35) defender if needed, should it go the other way.

        Definitely don't need to but I have 2 left and I can see most benefit from it next week over this week. Only have TAA from Liverpool (v Everton) and will want attackers, have Cancelo and KDB from City (v Watford) and will at least want 2 attackers + possibility KDB is injured, would like a Palace attacker v Leeds, etc.

      I do know what you mean. I was planning FH in GW35 but this may change it now. However most who were FH in GW33 would have pressed the button already (and don’t think you can cancel it) and as you say we don’t know the outcome until after GW33 deadline. It makes it more interesting as I have 2 FH’s left and one was being played in a SGW.

    Kane, Wood x2

    Bench: Steele, Schär x2, Veltman x2, Broja x2

    Option for St Max to Wood and start Schär instead of Burn

    Thoughts? Cheap playing defenders, but 4 big players in

    Completely confused about transfer and chip plans now with this news.
    With 2 FHs and a BB I was thinking of FH33, BB36, FH37.
    But is FH better used in 34 now? Like the idea of triple Chelsea.

    Hey folks,

    I've made 2 changes with my 2FTs and now have 7 DGWerswhich I'm quite happy with, apart from not having Bruno. Problem is I still have 2 FHs and BB to use yet. If I were to use one of the FHs this GW would my team go back to the pre 2FTs team or what I currently have after my 2 FTs? Assume it'll be the former, which is a bit shite as I really don't want the VegHorse back for love nor money...
