<h2>When are the FPL blank and double gameweeks in 2024/25?</h2>
There are just a few gameweeks left of the 2024/25 season &#8211; and FPL managers have been waiting patiently for news of a potential Double Gameweek 36 and Blank Gameweek 37.
But according to an announcement by the Premier League on Thursday (May 1), there will be no more blanks and doubles this season.
This is not the best news for those with chips like the Bench Boost and Triple Captain in hand.
<h3>What did the Premier League announcement say?</h3>
The FA cup final will be contested by Crystal Palace and Manchester City.
Their Premier League matches in Gameweek 37 had to be postponed to make room for the cup final.
Crystal Palace v Wolves and Manchester City v Bournemouth could have been moved forward, creating a Double Gameweek 36 and Blank Gameweek 37.
But instead, both fixtures will remain in Gameweek 37.
The Premier League statement read:
<blockquote>&#8220;Thursday’s <a href="https://www.premierleague.com/news/4299026">fixture announcement</a> means there are set to be NO more blank or double gameweeks in Fantasy Premier League this season.
&#8220;With Crystal Palace and Manchester City winning their FA Cup semi-finals last weekend, their scheduled Premier League fixtures in Gameweek 37 have had to be moved from the weekend of Gameweek 37, which coincides with the FA Cup final on Saturday, May 17.
&#8220;However, the two league fixtures &#8211; Crystal Palace v <a href="https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/38/Wolverhampton-Wanderers/overview">Wolverhampton Wanderers</a>, and Manchester City v <a href="https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/127/Bournemouth/overview">AFC Bournemouth</a> &#8211; have simply been moved back a few days into a midweek slot on Tuesday, May 20, so they will remain in Gameweek 37.&#8221;</blockquote>
<h3>Could any other fixtures cause a blank or double gameweek?</h3>
Spurs requested to move their Gameweek 37 match at Aston Villa in case they made the Europa League final.
This would have givem them more time to prepare for the final should they defeat Bodo/Glimt.
But instead of moving to Double Gameweek 36, it will remain in Gameweek 37. It is set to be moved to Friday, May 16 to give Spurs the same amount of recovery time as Manchester United.
No other fixtures are expected to be rescheduled.
