The Complete Guide to FPL Gameweek 36: Tips, captains, team news and best players

A hectic Double Gameweek 36 is on its way, where 12 teams play twice and many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) chip strategies get executed.

Added to the upcoming chaos is the small matter of midweek European semi-finals. Liverpool, Manchester City, West Ham United and Leicester City will all participate, so FPL managers will be nervously awaiting any injury scares whilst also double-thinking future squad rotations.

Indeed, this past weekend saw high-profile rests for Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kevin De Bruyne and James Maddison.

Whatever your strategy or moves this week, we’ll be collating all of our content for the upcoming Gameweek on this page to help with your transfer dilemmas and chip-related conundrums.

All your usual favourites will appear here, from Scout Picks to team news, so make sure to keep checking back for the latest articles ahead of the FPL deadline on Saturday 7 May at 13:30 GMT.
