Double Gameweek 36 is here and there are just three more opportunities to do something about our ranking and mini-league positions in Fantasy Premier League. Last three gameweeks – 2 double gameweeks and one very crazy single gameweek.
And if you still have some chips left, you might want to use them.
But first, let’s jump to our FPL GW36 Tips with the best picks, fixtures to target, transfer targets, captain, odds & team selection for Double Gameweek 36.

- Do not take unnecessary hits
- Having “just” 4 double gameweekers for double gameweek 36 is fine, do not tear your team apart

4. Who is the best captain in FPL GW36
We will keep the captaincy section short once again.
If you would like to know more about the process we use to select the captain every gameweek, read our article: How to pick the right captain in FPL?
It is hard to overlook good Newcastle fixtures in double gameweek. We think Trippier is the best captain pick for DGW36. You could also go for Wilson or Isak, if you are reluctant to captain a defender. Or if you really want to go for the safe captain, you can still pick Haaland despite him having just a single gameweek.
It is nothing wrong on captain single gameweek player during double gameweeks. Many times, single gameweek heavy hitters can do much better than not reliable double gameweek players.
Differential captains:
- Mitoma
- Pope
