Some immediate thoughts
Both DGW36 and DGW37 have Friday kick off’s so remember that.
This is good news for all in my view. A DGW36 instead of 35 has a few advantages. For me with a wildcard and bench boost it means that I can wildcard in GW36 and bench boost in GW37. That means I can sort out Arsenal and Southampton players in GW36 as they have back to back doubles. I was not wanting to WC in GW35 or having to prepare my team early for it.
For those without a wildcard it’s one more game to prepare for the 2 double gameweeks.
Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal have the best fixtures in DGW37 although the state of the league and Champions League places may dictate whether players are rested or not. Chelsea could potentially have it won by then.
Neither Arsenal or Southampton have great fixtures in DGW36. Sanchez was always going to be the captain favourite so his form and mindset will be crucial to monitor
If you’ve got your triple captain left as well as bench boost and WC then it’s tricky as you can’t use more than 1 in a gameweek. Possibly TC in DGW34 with Ibrahimovic and then WC in GW36 and BB in GW37. Or take a big call and WC in GW35 and TC in GW36 with Sanchez. Fixtures aren’t great for that last option though.
Thats it. Was just meant as an initial brain dump.
The more comments the better below especially as if I’ve got anything wrong. It is a rushed post so it will be gratefully received
