Teams that could double in GW36&37

GW36&37 are most likely going to be the last double gameweeks of the FPL season. We say “most likely” because this has not been confirmed yet, so we’re only speculating.

However, based on current events and the recent PL fixture schedule, GW 36 & 37 looks like it is the gameweek where unassigned fixtures would fit into.

Here are the teams that are likely to double in GW36:

1. Brighton
2. Newcastle

And in GW37, here are the teams that are likely to play twice:

1. Brighton
2. Chelsea
3. Man City
4. Man United

There you have it folks, these are the teams that have double gameweeks coming up. Feel free to target players from these teams.

What about blank gameweeks, you may ask? Well, there is still one more blank gameweek coming up and that’s going to be in GW32. Here are the teams that blank in gameweek 32:

1. Brighton
2. Chelsea
3. Man City
4. Man United

These four teams, blank in gameweek 32 because of their involvement in the FA Cup. Well, all this information might be difficult to retain, so in other to help we’d like to share a tweet with you.

In the tweet we’re about to share, the schedule and FPL calendar is arranged in a way that is simple and easy to understand.

What teams should you be looking to target going forward

Based on our analysis so far, these are the teams that we think you should be looking to target going forward:

1. Brighton: Targeting Brighton and their FPL assets would be great since they have the most double gameweeks coming up. You also need to be careful as they blank in GW32.
2. Man United: United are another team that you should be looking to target. They also have a decent amount of double gameweeks coming up. Just like with Brighton, you need to be careful as united blank in GW32.
3. West Ham: West Ham assets are a good buy from now up until GW34, as they have decent fixtures coming up.
4. Liverpool: Liverpool are another team you could target. They double in GW29, play in GW32 and double in GW34. Their assets are great long-term picks.
5. Man City: Man City assets would be great buys from GW34 till the end of the season. For now, it won’t be the best move to own so many Man City assets.

Conclusion

In conclusion, FPL’s double gameweeks can be a fantastic opportunity to maximize your points and rise up the ranks. By strategizing effectively and taking advantage of the additional fixtures, you can double your points and gain an edge over your competitors.
