Double Gameweek 23 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues this Sunday lunchtime, with Arsenal v Burnley, Crystal Palace v Liverpool and Leicester City v Brighton and Hove Albion kicking-off at 14:00 GMT.

Mikel Arteta makes three changes from his last Premier League starting XI on New Year’s Day, with Rob Holding, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Emile Smith Rowe coming in for Takehiro Tomiyasu, who is not in the squad, plus Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka, both of whom are suspended.

Nicolas Pepe and Mohamed Elneny are still at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), while Cedric Soares remains out.

For Burnley, Matthew Lowton drops to the bench, while Charlie Taylor misses out due to a foot injury and Maxwel Cornet is still on international duty. That means Jay Rodriguez partners Matej Vydra up front, with Aaron Lennon and Dwight McNeil on the flanks.

At Palace, Vicente Guaita is restored in goal, with the other change seeing Jean-Philippe Mateta replacing Eberechi Eze, who is a substitute, along with Jordan Ayew, who is available again after making a swifter-than-expected return from international duty with Ghana.

However, Wilfried Zaha and Cheikhou Kouyate are still involved at AFCON, while James McArthur and James Tomkins remain out.

Liverpool are unchanged from their Gameweek 22 win over Brentford, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain shaking off an ankle injury and partnering Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino in attack. Joel Matip was substituted as a precaution at half-time against Arsenal on Thursday but also features.

Elsewhere, James Justin make his first Leicester start in nearly a year, whilst Daniel Amartey returns and Harvey Barnes is recalled.

Graham Potter, meanwhile, who is missing today’s game after testing positive for Covid, makes two changes, with Leandro Trossard and Neal Maupay replacing Tariq Lamptey and Danny Welbeck, both of whom are substitutes, along with Lewis Dunk.

    Typically Pool conceded a goal after dominating, Trent & Jota getting nothing today?

      Palace deserved it.

      That's about the 4th big chance they had either side of half time.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Alisson saved them too many times already

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          True

      2. JBG
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This, Edouard and Mateta could have easily had a goal each before this.

  2. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    VVD cut apart at the heart of the Liverpool defence...

  3. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Daka with 4G, 3A in 416 mins so far this season

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      As soon as you buy him, he stops scoring

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        More like rotated

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 6 months ago

      MBP VS TOP Mark.S

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This!

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If only he'd started in the side at the beginning of the season!!

  4. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Get rid of kane or kdb to fund salah?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That’s tough, Kane just due to fixtures

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah it is tricky as both are doing surprisingly well at the moment

    2. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely Kane

    3. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Kane will play every game and have more games,KDB could be rotated with CL soon.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Come on man you could have agreed with everyone else to make my decision easier...

    4. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      KDB

  5. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Arsenal. The whole of Newcastle is with you!!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      At half time they were saying on the radio it's a must win game for Burnley to avoid relegation.

      I was like really, with all those games in hand?
      It was Talk Sport tho who fish for click bait with their tweats etc.

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        It's not must win yet for them because they're so far behind with fixtures. Must win if it's one of the teams around them only

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yep.

          Like Watford!

  6. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Jota out for Robbo?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Seems to be the template move atm

  7. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Minimino coming on

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years

  8. Bobby Digital

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      You got a 6? Blimey...

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Look at you with a 6 pointer, some guys get all the luck

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        8 with KDB for a hit!

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      My highest scorer is first on my bench, ffs

    4. Pratik
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      The more the templates get ripped the more fun it is.

  9. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Does the Liverpool cs wipeout help only TAA owners?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Does it?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Absolutely everyone gets Trents points.

          Robbo & Virgil double ups...

          1. TheBiffas
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            There aren't many. Robbo is only 3.8% owned

          2. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Tbf VVD has goal points too.

            And Robbo assists.

            Trent needs to get involved

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Do you know how many own two Liverpool defs/Allison?

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      LIV defence EO is 102%

  10. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Ox off to help Edouard's bonus... 🙁

  11. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Gibbs off

  12. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Properly comical how minging this GW is. FPL equivalent of MOTD on those nights where there are 3 bore draws.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      My team looked great on paper (screen), too...

  13. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Lowton dropped?

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Hoping so
      If he doesn't play the second game I've got Williams (7pts) on the bemch

  14. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    What a dreadful week haha

    But at least it’s dreadful for most of us

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Dreadful an understatement for me 🙂

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      24pts with Kane and Cathcart.... you?

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        20 all out!

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Jota is just so poor.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Him & Trent not on it today

  16. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Hold Burnley hold.

  17. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Help appreciated

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Taa cancelo Dawson (white livra)
    Salah (c) Jota foden Silva Bowen
    Antonio DCL

    Would you take a hit to bring a keeper ?

    Cheers 🙂

    1. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez likely doubles 25 so Steele > Gunn perhaps

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

  18. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Could really do with this arsenal clean sheet being wiped

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      That would take me below 20 points so no thanks.

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Could really do with some pts please

    3. Cojones of Destiny

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Hopefully Lamptey assisting

  25. JBG
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

  26. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Lamptey on.

    Brilliant (!)

  27. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Only good thing about this GW is that I saved my transfer so I can get rid of Ronaldo for Salah without taking a hit.

  28. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Vieira really doesn't like Edouard being on the pitch more than 70 or 75 mins most games...

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not fit enough.. ever.

  29. PartyTime
