This article is part of our Fantasy Premier League Rankings series.
We return from the last international break of the season to a power-house gameweek that includes 10 teams playing twice and many fantasy players drooling over the possibilitY of using their free-hit chip. If you didn't use it for the five-match slate we had in Gameweek 31, the lineup possibilities are virtually endless.
There were a number of key players who pulled out of international duty because of various injuries, so the Thursday and Friday manager press conferences will be vital to trying to figure out who will actually be on the pitch this weekend and next midweek. Injuries aren't the only issue we need to focus on, as Manchester City have one of the greatest double gameweeks in history, traveling to face 19th-place Fulham, who have conceded the most goals this season, and 17th-place Cardiff City, who have conceded the third-most goals. Man City attackers and defenders would be at the top of the rankings with just one of those matchups if all teams were on single gameweeks, but the fact they play twice locks them in. Thankfully, predicting the Manchester City lineup is always easy.
Chelsea are another team with excellent matchups, as they travel to Cardiff (tough week for the Welsh club) before hosting 15th-place Brighton. It's been a bit of a struggle to get consistency out of Chelsea attackers this season, but not having any exposure during this double gameweek seems like a big mistake.
As you'll see below, I heavily prioritize players who have two games (or at least the potential for two games) over those with just one. That doesn't mean you should completely ignore players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (home against Newcastle) or Sadio Mane (home against Tottenham) or James Maddison (home against Bournemouth), but it's tough to justify only getting one crack at a goal or assist when players like Andros Townsend (home against Huddersfield and away to Spurs) have two.
