Gameweek 36 = one calm single gameweek in the middle of chaotic FPL gameweeks. It is time to relax.
There are just three more opportunities to do something about our ranking and mini-league positions in Fantasy Premier League. The last three gameweeks – 1 calm single gameweek, 1 big double gameweeks and 1 very crazy single gameweek at the end of the season.
So, let’s jump to our FPL GW36 Tips with the best picks, fixtures to target, transfer targets, captain, odds & team selection for gameweek 36.
1. Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 36 Tips
- Try to save a free transfer in GW36 – having two free transfers before double gameweek 37 could be crucial. Then, you could also just use one before DGW37, and have two free transfers for the last gamaweek of the season = GW38 – to clean up the mess after DGW37 and make one last attack
- We are almost at the finish line of this FPL season – team value does not matter as much as it used to in the first half of the season – you can afford to lose some money you have tightened up in players
- Do not take unnecessary hits
- Saka, Havertz, Watkins could be perfect differentials as majority wildcarders went without them in GW35
- Mbeumo is our one-week punt for GW36
- Keep Ederson for now (if you have playing backup goalkeeper) as his injury is not as serious as initially thought (he should be back before the end of the season)
