The last “doubler” (where some teams play two games in one week) of the season is likely to see a number of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers activate their Bench Boost chip, which could lead to triple-figure points, meaning the chance of a green arrow could be high.

Double Gameweek 34 averaged 76 points per manager, while the highest scorer earned 219. The doubler in Gameweek 25 brought an average of 73 points, with a high of 162.

Overall, Gameweek 36 was a high-scoring affair itself, with 71 points earned on average and the highest-scoring manager hitting 161.

With big points potentially up for grabs in the final FPL push, it could be the last-chance saloon for those looking to climb up mini-leagues or improve their overall ranking.

Gameweek 36 recap

There is only one place to start regarding last week’s on-the-pitch performances and that is with Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
