As managers prepare for this weekend, they will also have to think about gameweek 36, which will have double fixtures
The Premier League returns this weekend for gameweek 35 – kicking off this Friday evening with Leeds hosting Burnley, before a full weekend of fixtures.
Managers have until 18.30 this Friday evening to lock in any transfers or play chips to maximise the home strait of fixtures.
However, as managers prepare for this weekend, they will also have to think about gameweek 36, which will be a double fixture for Manchester City and Crystal Palace.
Pep Guardiola’s side will have two home matches, hosting Brentford and then Palace, while Palace take on Everton prior to visiting the Etihad Stadium.
Good choices
Erling Haaland and Nico O’Reilly are the obvious picks for this kind of scenario, but Rayan Cherki (£6.4m) has the form to provide a great differential alternative.

According to the official FPL website, Cherki is owned by just 11% of managers, but has 28 points in his last four starts, scoring once and assisting three more goals.
Palace players will also be popular and at £5.1m, Maxence Lacroix offers goal threat and the likelihood of defensive contribution points.
Given changes that managers are going to want to make for next weekend, those who still have their free hit or wildcard chips left could have an advantage. And every decision is going to be crucial, given there are just 45 points seperating the top 10 in the Insurance Times Fantasy Football league.
