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.

    Is this finally going to be the week where Antonio punishes sellers?

    Are we even allowed to say that after so many weeks without anything resembling punishment for sellers? 🙂

    A goal would be huge in such a cr@ppy GW!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Owning watkins is a frustrating business.

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

      Hey at least you dont own spurs defender.

      1. how now brown cow

  17. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    As long as Jota gets no returns & Salah gets something, I’m happy..

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

      I’m hungry for points from both. But Salah ones will definitely taste sweeter

  18. MikeS
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

    Kulusevski doesn't looks suitable for PL football

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fitting in our team perfectly.

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

      It has only been one game cmon. Think he would actually come good.

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

        He is more of a wide winger, Conte's wingers are making moves more to the centre, maybe he can be RWB on 3-4-3

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

    Berhwijn on/Moura off

    So, Ronaldo to Kane looks destined to fail next week then.

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

      Yep.
      I’ll be doing it anyway.
      I’m tired of always directing my disappointment at Ronaldo.
      Time to allow Kane a chance to let us down!

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

    Pieters is keeping Mo closely in his pocket.
    C’mon Mo, just one moment of magic is all we need!

  29. Nanoelektronicar

    • 11 Years

    Kane useless. Captain blank last week, looks like another blank this week, and a price drop.
