Overview
- Six clubs now have a confirmed Double Gameweek 33 and then a blank in Gameweek 34 because of the FA Cup semi-finals, with Bournemouth, Brighton, Burnley, Chelsea, Leeds and Manchester City affected.
- Double Gameweeks mean two league matches in one FPL week, while a blank means no match, so managers are mapping out Wildcard, Bench Boost and Free Hit plans to tap the extra minutes and still field a team next week.
- BBC Sport’s picks steer managers toward Bench Boost in 33 with a Wildcard this week or a Free Hit in 33 to load up on players who play twice.
- Bruno Fernandes is the leading captain for Gameweek 32 after four straight double-digit returns and a home match that suits his set-piece and chance-creation role.
- Erling Haaland’s FA Cup hat-trick has revived his appeal for Manchester City’s upcoming double, while Wildcard guides also flag Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Brighton’s João Pedro and budget defender Jan Paul van Hecke as timely targets backed by recent data.
