FPL Blank Gameweek 35 Preview 2025/26

Preparation guide for a historically likely blank gameweek in Gameweek 35.

Not Yet Confirmed

No confirmed blank gameweek for GW35 yet. This page will update automatically when fixtures are rescheduled. Based on historical patterns, GW35 is a strong candidate for a blank gameweek.

Why GW35?

GW35 frequently features a double or blank gameweek as rescheduled FA Cup fixtures are slotted into the schedule alongside regular league matches. In recent seasons, the Premier League has consistently scheduled fixture doubles and blanks in this period to ensure all 380 matches are completed before the season finale.

BGW Preparation Tips

1. Check Your Squad: Count how many of your players have a fixture in GW35. If fewer than 8, consider using Free Hit.

2. Free Hit Strategy: Build a squad entirely from teams that ARE playing. Focus on form players from the playing teams rather than premium assets who blank.

3. No Free Hit? Plan Transfers: If you've used your Free Hit, use 1-2 free transfers to bring in players from playing teams. Accept that your score may be lower than usual.

4. Think About the DGW After: Often a BGW is followed by a DGW. Plan your transfers to serve both weeks if possible.
