Overview
- Six clubs will play twice in Gameweek 33 and then have no fixture in Gameweek 34 because of the FA Cup semi-finals, shaping chip plans for the run‑in.
- Bournemouth, Brighton, Burnley, Chelsea, Leeds and Manchester City are the confirmed double teams in GW33 and all six will blank in GW34.
- Using a wildcard now can build a squad with 13–15 players who have two matches for a strong GW33 bench boost, though most managers would then need a Free Hit to cover the GW34 blanks.
- Bruno Fernandes is widely tipped as the top captain for GW32 and sits among the most‑bought players this week, with Danny Welbeck also a popular transfer.
- Erling Haaland’s FA Cup hat-trick has renewed interest in Manchester City assets, and City’s postponed league match against Crystal Palace could be added in GW36 to create another double later in the season.
