FPL Double Gameweek 36 Preview 2026/27

Preparation guide for a historically likely double gameweek in Gameweek 36.

Not Yet Confirmed

No confirmed double gameweek for GW36 yet. This page will update automatically when fixtures are rescheduled. Based on historical patterns, GW36 is a strong candidate for a double gameweek.

Why GW36?

GW36 often has fixture doubles as the Premier League compresses the end-of-season schedule, particularly for teams involved in European competition. 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.

DGW Preparation Tips

1. Start Planning Early: Begin targeting DGW players 2-3 weeks before. Use free transfers to gradually build coverage without taking hits.

2. Bench Boost Preparation: If planning to Bench Boost, ensure your bench contains DGW players who are likely to start both matches. Avoid rotation risks.

3. Captain Selection: Pick a premium DGW player with two favourable fixtures. Historical data shows captaining a DGW player almost always outperforms a SGW captain.

4. Fixture Difficulty: Not all DGW fixtures are equal. Prioritise players from teams with two home fixtures or two favourable opponents over teams with tough double fixtures.
