FPL Double Gameweek 25 confirmed for four teams

Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) will be a ‘double’ after the rearrangement of two previously postponed fixtures.

Four teams will now place twice in Gameweek 25: Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

  • Arsenal: Leicester City (a) + Everton (h)
  • Everton: Aston Villa (h) + Arsenal (a)
  • Liverpool: Crystal Palace (a) + Wolves (h)
  • Wolves: Fulham (a) + Liverpool (a)

The reverse fixtures of both rearranged matches were played out as recently as Saturday, with Everton and Wolves coming out on top.

However, it’s worth noting Gameweek 25 also coincides with previously announced blanks for Brentford, Brighton and Hove Albion, Manchester United and Newcastle United, due to the EFL Cup final taking place.

GAMEWEEK 25 FIXTURES

TOP 100K OWNERSHIP

Taking LiveFPL’s top 100,000 sample, we can see ownership data for Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool and Wolves players.

Arsenal players dominate the above list, with only Hugo Bueno (£3.9m), Nathan Patterson (£3.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) exceeding 5 per cent ownership from the other sides involved.

Even then, neither of the budget defenders are currently assured of starts.

Bueno was, of course, benched on Saturday, while Patterson is injured and last featured in Gameweek 19. There was no update on the latter in last week’s press conference but he will have a while longer on the sidelines if the original six-week timeframe for his recovery was accurate.

As for Salah, he’s without an attacking return since Boxing Day and has registered just five shots in his last four matches. However, there is still time for Liverpool’s assets to find some form, with matches against Everton (h) and Newcastle United (a) preceding their double.

    Do we think this is it or could we expect more ?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I think that is it according to the odds given before the DGW25 announcement

        1 year, 3 months ago

        Yeah probably, I just noticed that the FA Cup last 16 is the same as the midweek for the DGW25 fixtures so all the 4 teams announced today for the DGW25 are already out of the FA Cup which I guess limits adding any more fixtures.

    Pretty annoying how I have patterson and bueno and there is no guarantee either start in the double

    1. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Same. I'm hopeful Bueno comes back into the side but he was dropped for the same Liverpool fixture on Saturday, which is annoying. No idea about Patterson, plus Coleman did well at the weekend tbf.

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        I think Bueno lost is starting spot

    2. The Wayfarer
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Same! Hard to know what to do with them at this stage.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yup same. We have over 2 weeks to assess before we do anything with those 2 players

  3. Hotdogs for Tea

    Brilliant 🙂

    Sounds like a great week for FH!

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I agree

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Not sure

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Not enough upside imo

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Less downside in surrounding weeks by having to hold LFC Wolves players and missing out on BHA etc

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1 year, 3 months ago

      GW 28 supposed to be worse?

    5. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Actually i dont like any of the 4 teams apart from arsenal which i will be having 3 pkayers from, and the 4 blank teams is nearly half of my team, will ship out 2 of them to field 9 players in gw25 and igonre the doublers & save the FH

  5. ShaunGoater123

    Afternoon all,

    Was planning on salah to kdb for next week but given Liverpool now double in 25 is it worth doing Bruno to mahrez instead?

    Current team:
    Kepa
    Tripper / Lewis / Martinez
    Martinelli / salah / Fernandes / rashford
    Haaland / kane / nketiah

    Ward / Botman / Andrea’s / bueno

    I'd then likely get Tarkowski & Gabriel for free for 25 giving me 6 doubles

    1. bialk
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Bruno to Mahrez.

  6. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    After DGW 25 news who is best Fifth defender to get if you have those 4 & not from Arsenal ?
    Tripper Shaw Mee Patterson

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      One who actually plays in week 25 might be nice.

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Tark has double

    2. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Tark
      x

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Tark can cover BGW28

    4. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years

      Cheers

  7. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Extra glad that I wildcarded now. Imperative to get the best three Arsenal players (Saka, Odegaard and Gabriel imo) and limping along with Martinelli and White could be punishing over the next few weeks.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Agree with that. Not on WC but even for a hit it feels worthwhile to switch it up now.

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        I did it as I was holding all the wrong Arsenal and City players ahead of the double, including Cancelo. The timing of this announcement is a rare bit of FPL luck this season 🙂 Also, the blanks and doubles later this season look like they could be easier to navigate than previous years but we'll see.

    2. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      you overlook Eddie, fine by me 🙂

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Might not be a starter by the tail end of their good run

        1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Precisely this, trying to avoid booking transfers in. Over the short-term, absolutely I would say Eddie is above Gabriel.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I've seen a few talking down White as an option of late, is he expected to lose his place or something or is it the slightly early subs?

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Yeah I think it's a minutes thing. Same with Martinelli I guess.

      2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Early subs really, sometimes before the dreaded 60 min mark. Form has dipped slightly too so there is maybe a slim possibility of TTom taking over at RB after the key game v City.

        It's just not something you need to worry about if you have Saliba/Gabriel instead, and what you lose in BPS you more than make up with goal threat.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Fair points. I could argue that Saliba hasn't looked great since the restart either though buy fair enough there's no direct replacement you'd be happy to change him with like Tomiyasu. I've been on just Saka and him for a while and got Nketiah this week so I think I'm happy enough to stick unless we see it happen. Only 2 clean sheets in 6 since the restart so he hasn't really missed out with being subbed early

  8. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Martinelli > Saka for free this week? Leaves me with White, Ode and Saka for both doubles.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Do it

  9. BusbySwede
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Well that changes the thinking about future transfers for gw25..
    Was set on Doherty -> Bueno so i could do Bruno -> KdB but now im not so sure anymore..
    Would also like to do Martinelli to Saka/Nketiah but feels like I have bigger problem to take care of.

    Kepa, Ward
    Trippier, Shaw, Gabriel, Estupinan, Doherty
    Martinelli, Odegaard, Rashford, Bruno, Mitoma
    Haaland, Kane, Wilson

    Have Trippier, Shaw, Estupinan, Doherty, Rashford, Bruno, Mitoma, Wilson who wont play in gw25 if i take one -4 hit i can make it 10 starters and that might do?
    Wanna keep Trippier, Rashford, Mitoma.
    Which 4 players would you sell and buy to have for gw25?

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Bueno not starting anymore

      1. BusbySwede
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Yeah, thats why im not so sure doing that anymore.. Could take a chance on Rico Lewis and afford kdb, or go for Mahrez and maybe Kilman instead, or just keep Bruno who has a good fixture with Leeds..

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Well well well, didn't see the extra fixtures appearing on GW25.

    Some fun reading & strategising for the train home.

    Not sure it changes much other than LEI being an option (and maybe a cheap EVE defender) - but absolutely makes me want to switch out Martinelli/White earlier perhaps.

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Why Leicester?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Hah you're right. This is what yet the train journey now is for! I was at work earlier and skim-read, forgetting LEI was the original fixture anyway 😆

  11. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Doesn't the FH become a real option because of this news??

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Team dependent of course but still not for me. Already set with my preferred Arsenal trio, an easily pick up a Wolves/Everton defender for free, not much interest in Liverpool. The 10 I have planned to field still look like the same candidates I'd have on FH

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Fair enough. Probably better to take hits to get even field 8, 9 or 10 in the lead up to GW25.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          I did just WC this week though tbf & got a couple things sorted for BGW cover so I guess I have a slight advantage here

        2. Nightf0x
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Totally agree, i will save the FH & take out of my team 2 blankers & get a 3rd arsenal & another player to have 9 players in gw25, saving the FH & ignoring the doubles apart from arsenal

      2. The Mentaculus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        *can easily

        1. Milk, 1 Šuker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          At the time of writing I have 7 blankers but think with the hits I'm planning this week it will cover the -4; the two players coming in are GW25 players and I think will outscore those going out...

          1. The Mentaculus
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            Sounds manageable. Think BGW32 could potentially be a bit tricky so I'm keeping FH for then or maybe DGW37

    That Arsenal double was unexpected

      Always a possibility based on available slots

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        The guy is an absolute champ! Thanks Ben!

      2. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Yeah I guess so idk if it changes much tbh, everyone has 3 Arsenal anyway

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Oh yeah, I'm not really changing my plans either

  13. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Hah I was just looking at Semedo last night for a few weeks from next week. Patterson and Cash were already giving me a bit of a headache, given they have fixtures in GW25 but are probably unlikely to play unless injury to Coleman/Young gives them a chance. No chance I go near Liverpool assets, so basically probably Tarkowski/Coady I guess. Tempted by Neves mind but he could well just concede in both and pick up a yc so think I'll just roll with current plans (which includes rolling FT this week).

  14. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Ramsdale (Ward)
    White Tripper Shaw ( Mee Patte)
    Mahrez Ødegaard Rashford Bruno Mitoma
    Kane Haaland ( Mitro)
    A- White & Bruno >

    Aké or Tarkowski or Kilman + Saka for -4

    Yaaaaaay
    No

  15. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    White & Andreas ---> Akanji & Odegaard.

    Worth -4?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yaa

  16. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Better option:

    A. Bruno and Martinelli
    B. Mahrez and Saka (-4)

    Thanks

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      B

  17. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    This would have been an easy TC Salah for gw25 some time back.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I hope he hits a hattrick at the weekend, just to mess with people's heads.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Haha

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years

      Indeed, how things have changed! Now no one cares!

  18. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Still don't want anything to do with Liverpool players.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Could anything happen between now and gw25 that might change your mind?

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Salah mega haul

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Drastic sustained improvement, and not just a random 9-0 like the Bournemouth game

        I saw an earlier comment that we're bottom of the table for 2023 so far: 1 point from a snore draw in Jan, none in Feb, and not looking much better in the cup either

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yeah buy it gives some headache for people still holding players like Darwin or TAA

  19. Patio Kev

    Anybody got a complete list of the remaining fixtures still waiting for new dates please ?

    I know there will be more from the FA Cup to come later.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Bournemouth v Brighton
      Brighton v Palace
      Chelsea v Liverpool
      Leeds v Forest
      Leicester v Villa
      ManUtd v Brentford
      Newcastle v Brighton
      Southampton v Brentford
      West Ham v Newcastle

      1. Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Perfect - Thank you, there is a lot of Brighton on there, maybe one to target after BGW25 I guess.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          A Brighton DGW in 26 seems to be likely, I have double Brighton midfield currently and was considering moving MacAllister but I'm just keeping now

  20. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Who to Keep till end of DGW 25 ?
    A- Ramsdale
    B- White

    1. The White Pele

      A

      🙁

  21. TanN
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    That's a terrible dgw!

    Wouldn't want anyone from Wolves or Liverpool.
    Everton maybe but only fodder like Patterson if I WC before GW25

    And everyone already has 2/3 Arsenal assets so it's a bit of a fake double really :0

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      The benefit of it is that you'll still have a heap ot people focusing on doublers no matter what, including Liverpool players despite their awful form. Should hopefully help avoid people fully targeting better incoming doubles like Brighton

    2. antis0cial
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Making sure you have the right 3 Arsenal I guess is crucial, a lot of us stuck on Marti/White. Everton Def covers a double and a blank too with goal threat now Dyche in charge e.g. Tark

    3. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yeah and the 4 blank teams is a teams whom i want their players in my team (they are making up like half of my team)

  22. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Martinelli to Ødegaard worth a hit?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Not sure it’s worth a hit no

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Feels a bit dull to go into 2 Arsenal DGWs with White, Martinelli and Nktiah

  23. The White Pele
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    best combo this week:
    A) White & Mitoma
    B) Nketiah & Ake -8

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A

      1. The White Pele
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        cheers bro. would you do Mitoma to Mahrez for -4?

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Nope I have both BTW but wouldn't even bench Mitoma on his current form

          1. The White Pele
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            fair enough. thanks

        2. Feanor
          • 14 Years

          No way in hell

          (I have both and will start both)

  24. RogueBlood
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Martinelli to Saka or Odegaard?

    1. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Depends on your other priorities. Seems that Martinelli is vulnerable to Trossard's potential rise.

      Odegaard and Saka are Talismanic, but not Martinelli

      He is due a big game.

      BTW, I own Martinelli and want to jettison too

  25. antis0cial
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Plan was Bruno to Mahrez, with another Arsenal DGW now announced do I switch Marti out now?

    A) Marti to Odegaard
    B) Bruno to Mahrez

    Kepa
    Trippier Ake White

    Why do people think White is not nailed anymore? Tomiyasu has been back for a while and all he seems to be getting are mins off the bench

      White should be fine to start games, it’s just how LONG he lasts before being taken off I suppose, which seems to be happening a little more frequently

      Yeah been seeing this as well. He was subbed off at half Vs United but that was due to a YC he picked up early on. Also subbed in the 59th min one game. Other than that he's played 60+ for the rest of the season.

        The good thing is about early subbing is that it effectively means more clean sheets as long as its not before 60 minute mark.

      There's nothing wrong with White. He's just not as secure as some others in the Arsenal defense for minutes (it's more the 59 min or half time subs that are the problem).

    Would you take out Rashford to get Kdb or take out Mitoma and get Grealish/Gundo (Already have Mahrez)

      Neither. Haaland & Mahrez is plenty

      No and No.

      Absolutely not! Losing Rashford? Madness mate

    I think I'm basically locking in a FH in 35 after this announcement.

    My team even after this week is likely to have x3 Newcastle, x3 United and Bueno. That would mean even if I saved FT in 24 I'd still need to take a -4 to field 10.

    FH'ing in Salah, Darwin, Tarkowski etc has upside.

    It looks very straightforward for my team.

      25?

    2. Shark Team

      yes in 25*, though my plan was to build team for blank gw28 so i can WC29 and BB34 But in blank28 teams that I already own some players like Mun, Mci, Tottenham and Brighton are gonna blank so I have to rethink it if its worth FH in 28

    This is where Seb and his Salah-Darwin double up turns the tide!

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)

      4pts each instead of 2?

  30. Shark Team

    Very rarely we have teams blanking and other doubling in the same gw. Looks like a great option for FH.

      Thing is are you really want to "waste" FH for loading up your team with Wolves, Liverpool and Everton?

      1. Pipermaru
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1 year, 3 months ago

        *do you

      2. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        That’s the question, this is why I have to see if I want to bring more players who are gonna blank in 28 and FH25 or focus 25 with my transfers

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Are not* gonna blank in 28

          My point is it looks like terrible week to play FH overall, you "want" Tarkowski, maybe Salah, nobody really from Wolves and everyone has 3x Arsenal, fixtures are not great for niether team doubling. Plus City has Bournemouth so most of us will have double or triple MCI, you won't be selling let say KDB/Mahrez for Neves or Iwobi, right?

            I'd love to get the right City assets though

              Who is the right City asset (except Haaland) though? Used to be Cancelo and KDB but now?
