Upcoming FPL Double & Blank Gameweeks
FPL Double Gameweek 33

- Manchester City vs EVE(A), AVL(H)
- Arsenal vs IPS(A), CRY(H)
- Aston Villa vs NEW(H), MCI(A)
- Crystal Palace vs BOU(H), ARS(A)
FPL Blank Gameweek 34
Teams that will BLANK in GW34 due to the FA Cup Semi Finals
- Manchester City
- Arsenal
- Aston Villa
- Crystal Palace
FPL Double Gameweek 36 & Blank Gameweek 37

The last potential double gameweek of the season will be in GW36. If a team reaches the FA Cup final, it might result in their GW37 fixture moving into GW36. It can also stay in GW37 by moving to the midweek between GW37 & GW38.(Predicted to move to GW36, full list of predicitons below)
FA Cup Semi Finals (Played during GW34)
- Nottingham Forest vs Man City
- Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa

For Example, if Man City make it to the FA Cup final, then the MCI vs BOU game in GW37 could move to GW36. It could also move to the midweek between GW37-38 & stay in GW37.
The above also means that: If Forest beat Manchester City and reach the FA Cup final, they will very likely DOUBLE in GW36 and BLANK in GW37. DGW36 for Forest vs LEI(H), WHU(A) if it happens.
The above could be a dream triple captain scenario on Chris Wood if he’s fit by then!
This also indicates that the two teams involved in the FA Cup finals and their GW37 opponents could see their GW37 fixture move to GW36.
