Gameweek 36 is a big Double Gameweek in Fantasy Premier League, with no fewer than 12 teams playing twice. The action gets underway this Saturday, so it’s time to start planning your FPL transfers.

The Gameweek 36 deadline is 13:30 (BST) on Saturday, 1.5 hours before the four 15:00 kick-offs. Here are is the weekend’s schedule in full.

  • Brentford vs. Southampton
  • Burnley vs. Aston Villa
  • Chelsea vs. Wolves
  • Crystal Palace vs. Watford
  • Brighton vs. Man Utd
  • Liverpool vs. Tottenham
  • Norwich vs. West Ham
  • Leicester vs. Everton
  • Arsenal vs. Leeds
  • Man City vs. Newcastle

 

The Double Gameweek fixtures begin next Tuesday, as Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa host title-chasing Liverpool. On Thursday, arch-rivals Tottenham and Arsenal wrap up the GW36 action in the North London Derby.

  • Aston Villa vs. Liverpool
  • Leicester vs. Norwich
  • Watford vs. Everton
  • Leeds vs. Chelsea
  • Wolves vs. Man City
  • Tottenham vs. Arsenal

 

It’s time to check out the best FPL players for Gameweek 36. Naturally, the majority of these picks double up in GW36.

Goalkeepers

With 20 and 19 clean sheets, respectively, Alisson (Liverpool) and Ederson (Man City) both play twice in Gameweek 36. They are undoubtedly the best FPL goalkeepers for GW36.

Elsewhere, Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester) has two favorable home fixtures against Everton and Norwich on the horizon. The Danish shot-stopper will be confident of keeping at least one clean sheet across the two games.

Edouard Mendy (Chelsea), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal) and Emi Martinez (Aston Villa) are also worth considering.

Defenders

Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea full-backs look set to be hugely popular picks this week. The like of Joao Cancelo (Man City), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) and Reece James (Chelsea) cannot be ignored.

In terms of other DGW defenders, Matty Cash (Aston Villa), Ben White (Arsenal) and Eric Dier (Tottenham) could all haul plenty of points in the coming days.

Midfielders

As the highest-scoring player in FPL this season, Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) is a must-have pick for Gameweek 36. If you’re looking for a differential, Sadio Mane (Liverpool) and Luis Diaz (Liverpool) are viable options.

In truth, there is no shortage of exciting DGW midfield options to choose from. James Maddison (Leicester), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) and Son Heung-min (Tottenham) could also prove to be great picks.

Although it is always difficult to predict Pep Guardiola’s starting XI, Phil Foden (Man City), Kevin De Bruyne (Man City), Riyad Mahrez (Man City) and Raheem Sterling (Man City) must not be overlooked.

Forwards

Admittedly, the forward options are not as attractive as other positions this weekend. If you’re feeling brave, backing Richarlison (Everton) and/or Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) could pay off.

Other decent Double Gameweek forwards include Eddi Nketiah (Arsenal), Timo Werner (Chelsea), Harry Kane (Tottenham) and Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester).
