DGW36 Confirmed: Man City & Palace Double Gameweek Guide

DGW36 Confirmed: Everything We Know

It is finally official. Double Gameweek 36 is confirmed for Manchester City and Crystal Palace. Here is what this means for your FPL team.

What We Know For Certain

Manchester City and Crystal Palace will both have a double gameweek in GW36. This had to happen because both teams blanked in GW31. The double will happen in GW36.

Man City play Brentford at home and Crystal Palace at home in GW36. Palace play Everton at home and Manchester City away in GW36.

Key Players to Target

Erling Haaland is almost mandatory for GW36. Double at home makes him the standout captain option for the double.

For Palace, the best budget route is Wharton at 5.0m. He is a midfielder on set pieces and has been productive when available. Lacroix and Munoz are the premium defensive picks. Dean Henderson in goal is worth considering if you need a cheap double.

What This Means for Your Team

City and Palace players are your priority for GW36. If you are on a wildcard, loading up on defenders and attackers from those two teams now and rolling transfers into GW36 is the most efficient path.

The complication is Bournemouth. If you are holding Bournemouth players, their fixture against Man City in GW37 means they will blank that week. That is worth holding them for rather than panic-selling after GW35.

Wait for the official announcement before making final decisions. But if you were planning to bring in Palace or City players anyway, now is the time.
