Double Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues this Sunday lunchtime, with Burnley v Liverpool, Newcastle United v Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers kicking-off at 14:00 GMT.

The big team news comes from Turf Moor, where Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane return to Liverpool’s attack, alongside Roberto Firmino in Jurgen Klopp’s 4-3-3 formation.

That means Diogo Jota drops to the bench with new signing Luis Diaz.

Sean Dyche makes one change for Burnley, with Aaron Lennon coming in for Dwight McNeil.

At Newcastle, Eddie Howe makes two changes from Gameweek 24, with Dan Burn and Javier Manquillo in for Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Targett, who is ineligible.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa bring in Calum Chambers for the suspended Ezri Konsa.

Elsewhere, Rodrigo Bentancur makes his first start for Antonio Conte, as he replaces Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the engine room, while there are also changes at wing-back, with Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon coming in for Emerson Royal and Sergio Reguilon, both of whom are substitutes.

For their opponents, Bruno Lage hands a first Premier League start to Luke Candle, with Rayan Ait-Nouri also returning to the XI for Marcal.

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

    Points for no one and I do mean absolutely no one

    Even the sa owners started Sanchez

    1. griffzinho
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Points for the guys leading overall.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Double Pool defence hanging in there atm... just.

      1. griffzinho
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Same here but Jota can hurt as we learned last week. Presume you have Salah too.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          No, but will have Salah next week. Had Jota last week but didn't captain. Removed for Bruno this week... hasn't worked out so far.

  4. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Doherty off / Royal on

    1. Hakchak
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone else get a cheeky Keane off the bench?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        O/

        1. Hakchak
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Smoothest second autosub, makes up for all the rubbish last few weeks from him!

      2. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Me for Laporte

      3. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Feels a bit like cheating.

        1. Hakchak
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Feels great

  5. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    TAA(TC) next week for me. Salah out of form

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It’s so tempting but also season ending when Salah scores 4

    2. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      There's probably only two options next week
      either TC Mo, or
      Boost a bench full of doublers and (C) Mo instead.
      I wouldn't like to call it atm

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lads when does Salah get back from AFCON? People said he'd only miss 2 GWs but I've had him the last 4 and still no sign of him.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He did hit the post in the previous match...

  7. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I doubt I’ve ever had a Digne haul

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      this is a D-1gne haul

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      To be fair to him, it must be hard to register CSs when you're playing in a defence with Digne in it.

  8. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can you see Salah starting 5 games in 14 days till the cup final?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. But I can't see any other Liverpool player doing that either except perhaps the GK and VVD.

  9. Fish up a tree
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Work horse pulled up lame

    1. :
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I couldn't make up my mind if he was a donkey or a thoroughbred but he's dog food now.

      1. Fish up a tree
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Off to the glue factory

  10. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The amount of shots Kane’s had today he could easily have had 3-4 goals!

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I didn't have to know this.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It’s sad watching, but hopeful at the same time!

        1. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          One goal would be huge in this landscape.

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yes it really would

    2. griffzinho
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same as last 7/8 GW's I've owned him. Always on the cusp of a haul BUT never doing it.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good to know.
      For my sins, he will be my transfer in this week (for CR7)

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure he had 10 v Leicester as well, has looked like he's been on the cusp of a big haul for a while

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have hated owning Kane. Hated it. No points, all potential and the fixtures and uselessness of other forwards has meant I have had to keep him.

  11. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah and Mane were always going to need 4/5 games to rest and recover

  12. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I am getting Cornet in.

    1. griffzinho
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just one CornetNO.. imho

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Me too not.

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t get sprinkles on it they’re gank

    4. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I want him, but it will mean a hit & benching Antonio who has Newcastle at home.
      It’s a tough decision!

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Play Antonio matey

      2. fplgaruda
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Newcastle is tough fixture now

  13. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    My hero of the week are Gunn.

    Had him as back for Ramsdale. You think he’s good enough keeper to bench boost (Liverpool away potential loads of save points) or can sell for a 4.5m DGW keeper -4

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      *is

  14. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Has reguilion now lost his place ?!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Result helps his case but can't be trusted.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Surely it’s time to ditch ASAP !!

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I mean, he is a left back who was benched in favour of another left back.

      Who got injured, but a third left back came on.

      I'd say his place is less than secure

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Been awful owning him

  15. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    This game.
    Watkins goal ruled out by a tiny fraction and Emerson now on for Cancelo for 10 minutes to block Keane's 13 points.

    19 points lost. Can't catch a break this season

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Poor management imo

  16. fplgaruda
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Reguilon rot on the bench

  17. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs are as bad as ManU

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Worse.

  18. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So, those Spurs subs made no sense. Never getting back into it like that.

    Anyway, 4 from the XI no shows, need an Antonio masterclass as my first sub. Johnson to come too please.

    How bad was WW's injury?

  19. Skogen89
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What a game Firminho is having! How is he still on the pitch?

  20. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    WTF Jota??

  21. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jota sitter. Water. Wet.

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Was actually brilliant from Tarko on the replay

    2. fplgaruda
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not really a sitter...
      Tarko tackle

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Ramsey need some more magic from you!

  23. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jota misses from Salah pass...

  24. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus christ.

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bloody Gabriel.

  25. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jota reverting to type

  26. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Coady coming on for Cancelo. When will the CS get wiped?

  27. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone doing worse than two returns so far?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Me … one return. Sanchez. Trying to laugh.

  28. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Those who got 32 points captaining Jota last week must always remember how incredibly lucky they were.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not nearly as lucky as KDB cappers.

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        KDB always gets something from range. Jota hits two goals from three shots once in a 100 games.

    2. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All I remember was it being a good captaincy pick. As was KDB

  29. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Oh this is just stupid now wtf

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bloody parody

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Should have stopped playing when u had the chance

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not fantasy, the game itself!

  30. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Id have been furious if Jota scored
