Thursday’s fixture announcement means there are set to be NO more Blank or Double Gameweeks in Fantasy Premier League this season.
With Crystal Palace and Manchester City winning their FA Cup semi-finals last weekend, their scheduled Premier League fixtures in Gameweek 37 have had to be moved from the weekend of Gameweek 37, which coincides with the FA Cup final on Saturday 17 May.
However, the two league fixtures - Crystal Palace v Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Man City v AFC Bournemouth - have simply been moved back a few days into a midweek slot on Tuesday 20 May, so they will remain in Gameweek 37.
The lack of Blank Gameweeks will be particularly welcome news for Fantasy managers who don’t have any chips left, as it makes it easier to navigate the final four Gameweeks.
However, those managers who do have chips remaining will now have to rethink their strategies, because the lack of Double Gameweeks means they have no more opportunities to load up on players who have two matches in a single round of fixtures.
