A Double Gameweek 33 for Manchester City can enable Kevin De Bruyne (£11.7m) to be a major influence for managers over the run-in in Fantasy Premier League.
The league leaders are among 10 sides who have been handed a DGW33 following the rearrangement of seven matches earlier today.

Liverpool’s meeting with Manchester United, which was initially scheduled for Sunday 20 March, has been moved to Tuesday 19 April.
The following day, a further four rescheduled matches - Chelsea v Arsenal, Everton v Leicester City, Newcastle United v Crystal Palace and Man City v Brighton & Hove Albion – take place before Burnley's home fixture against Southampton, rearranged for Thursday 21 April, completes the Gameweek.

Interest in Man City’s attackers has fallen recently due to their lack of a Double Gameweek. Their upcoming Gameweek 32 encounter with Liverpool has also deterred managers in Fantasy.
But the confirmation of their DGW33, which also includes a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers, can revive the appeal of key stars such as De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez (£8.7m) and Phil Foden (£7.8m).
Long-term picks
Man City’s subsequent schedule suggests their players could prove popular picks for those on GW33 Wildcards.
The league leaders have a very favourable run-in, also hosting Watford, Newcastle and Aston Villa in the final six Gameweeks.
Notably, De Bruyne has excelled at the Etihad Stadium recently, producing 11 points twice, and an 18-point haul, in his last four.
Burnley players back on the radar?
Burnley, meanwhile, have a DGW31 as well as a DGW33.
Their home meeting with Everton, originally scheduled for Sunday 26 December, now takes place on Wednesday 6 April, giving both sides a DGW31.
Burnley host Man City beforehand, while Everton visit West Ham United.
Goalkeeper Nick Pope (£5.4m) has been their most reliable asset in Double Gameweeks already this season, claiming 19 points in DGW23 and 13 points in DGW26.
