Fantasy Premier League managers have a crucial couple of weeks to plan for after the Premier League announced an updated fixture schedule.

The headline news is that Gameweek 35 will be a triple gameweek with eight teams set to play twice, including a few with plenty to play for until the end of the season.

It comes after the Premier League announced that Manchester United's postponed match against Liverpool last Sunday will now take place next Thursday.

The Red Devils will face Aston Villa and Leicester City in the next set of fixtures, with all three of their Gameweek 35 matches taking place in little more than 100 hours.

Jurgen Klopp's troops will also have a double gameweek as a result of the announcement.

However, those manager planning to load up on double gameweek players next weekend will need to be aware that four of the eight teams will subsequently blank in Gameweek 36.

With that said, it looks like, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Everton and Southampton are the teams to target with transfers over the next two weeks.

Which players stand the best chance of two starts?

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)

Price: £11.5m

Points: 221

Three Manchester United matches in a week means that Bruno Fernandes is simply a must-have for any manager.

Other than Dean Henderson and Harry Maguire, he is the likeliest United player to start all three and even though his fantasy form has stagnated of late.

Putting the Portuguese midfield maestro in your team is an ideal opportunity to pick up points.

Mason Greenwood (Manchester United)

Price: £7.2m

Points: 85

Even though his place his not necessarily secure, those able to double up on Manchester United's attack should consider Mason Greenwood.

The teenager has been getting on the end of more chances than Marcus Rashford in recent weeks and can make an impact off the bench if not starting.

James Ward-Prowse (Southampton)

Price: £5.8m

Points: 142

One name that has become synonymous with 'nailed starter' status on the south coast is set-piece specialist James Ward-Prowse.

The midfield maestro hasn't missed a single minute of Premier League football since the end of the 2018/19 season and is as secure as any double Gameweek 35 asset for those managers looking for players who are likely to start twice.

Rob Holding (Arsenal)

Price: £4.3m

Points: 87

Arsenal's first Double Gameweek 35 clash against West Bromwich Albion falls less than 72 hours after their delicately poised Europa League semi-final second-leg tie against Villarreal kicks off.

Rob Holding's chances of featuring in both Double Gameweek 35 fixtures may have been boosted by Sunday's injury to David Luiz.

Mason Mount (Chelsea)

Price: £4.3m

Points: 141

Thomas Tuchel has proved difficult to second-guess since his appointment in January, with rotation commonplace even before the Blues recommenced their Champions League campaign.

Mason Mount is a definite favourite of his manager's and has started eight competitive matches in a row, as well as 12 of the last 14 Premier League games.

Patrick van Aanholt (Crystal Palace)

Price: £5.4m

Points: 53

Roy Hodgson has kept a settled side over Palace's last six matches and from Gameweeks 27-33 his only two alterations were fitness-related.

And the apparent likely departure of out-of-contract positional rival Patrick van Aanholt this summer has raised hopes that the budget defender may be in line for more run-outs between now and the end of the season.
