With just weeks to go, a smart move or mistake now could be the difference between glory and disappointment.

Two teams – Man City and Crystal Palace – are playing twice in gameweek 36, which should inform your transfer strategy but is it a case of shaking things up to capitalise or holding your nerve?

Radio Times brings you our top FPL tips for GW36 in 2025/26.

Fantasy Premier League tips GW36

DEF: Nico O'Reilly (MNC, £5.2m, 18.8 per cent)

Somehow, Nico O'Reilly remains underrated in FPL. Man City have a double gameweek and the rising star has huge points potential in matches against Brentford and Crystal Palace.

The 21-year-old has developed into a real goal threat and, as he's down as a defender, will earn some nice returns on any clean sheets.

MID: Ismaïla Sarr (CRY, £6.4m, 5.5 per cent)

Ismaïla Sarr is Crystal Palace's most dangerous attacking weapon – and in a double gameweek, that makes him a real asset.

Monday's 3-3 draw showed the vulnerabilities in the Everton and Man City defences, which a player of Sarr's ilk should be primed to exploit.

FOR: Danny Welbeck (WOL, £6.3m, 8.3 per cent)

It's a simple equation, really. Wolves have one of the leakiest defences in the Premier League and Danny Welbeck is Brighton's main goal threat.

The Seagulls will be desperate to bounce back from last weekend's defeat at Newcastle to boost their European hopes and facing the Old Gold offers up a golden opportunity to do just that.
