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.

    Best Arsenal combo?

    A) Ødegaard/Nketiah

      I am going for Saka, Nketiah, Øde

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Would prefer this too, but would require too many hits

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I don't like that I have to take -8 either, but it is what it is.

          1. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I expect those hits to pay themselves back. And that's what Lateriser tweeted^ imo.

    8. Bodie
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Had these 3 for months Gabriel + Odegaard & saka

  2. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Just did Toney -> Nketiah. Also got White.

    Martinelli to:
    A) Ødegaard
    B) Saka?

    Cheers!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not for a hit

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        This

        1. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Yep

      2. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Its a FT

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Saka

          1. MIGHTY JOE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Cheers

    2. tim_oriordan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depends if you think Martinelli gets benched. If he does then that could make up for the hit on it's own. Saka over Odegaard for me

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Don’t think he’s gonna get benched. But I do believe more in both Ødegaard and Saka over the next gameweeks. It will not be a -4

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Saka, easy

  3. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What's your plan for gw28?Take some hits or FH?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      We'll know a lot more when the cup games are played.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depends which teams are playing, hoping to save FH for a double

    3. lugs
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      not sure yet, i'm tempted to FH in 25 as i'll have a lot of players MIA and its also a dgw for some teams who i have no players from, so a perfect scenario for a FH, 28 will likely be write off for me though with probably only half a team but it could be a low scoring week anyway so probably not that big of a deal

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'm having a look at that too, can then optimise the team for GW23-27 without the distortion of bdgw25

        1. lugs
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          actually that's a great point, FH 25 will allow me more time to bring in players for 28 who will likely be bench players until then, so not that much disruption really as i already have the main guys

      2. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I am also thinking to use my FH in gw25.I have Kepa/Cucurella with tough fixture,Tripier/Shaw/Rashford with no game and no Liv players.

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not worried yet about that. Now is time to get best Arsenal assets.

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Use transfers to get to 10 players.

  4. tim_oriordan
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I have literally no money in the bank, so the only Arsenal defender I can get in for Shaw is White.

    Do people think he'll start in all these games for Arsenal or be benched for one? If you think he'll be benched, does that make Gabriel for an additional hit better?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I am planning to sell White.

    2. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Arteta hates rotating. White's still a fine option.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I expect Saka and Nketiah overscoring White. No way I am selling Ødegard now. So White simply has to go.

  5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which option. Will also help me field 11 in 25.

    A) Bruno to KDB
    B) Shaw to Ake

    1. tim_oriordan
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I have a feeling United will concede against both Leeds and Leicester. And Bruno might score really well in both.

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  6. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Not sure whether to be happy I own Patterson or not really.

    No man's land right?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have Bueno and Digne. Both were in my original plan for 25. Don't know now.

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I have Bueno too. Gulp.

        Digne. Give your head a wobble son. Go in the corner.

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      May as well hold now. Coleman probably can't play week in week out with that style; high press, energetic counter. So I'm sure he'll get starts when he's back.

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers but those with no Everton might want Tark

        I do too and I certainly ain't doubling up

    3. Drumandbaines123
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Think Patterson has to go as you can't be sure he'll even play and you won't have a bench. Tark is the one

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yea tend to agree

        Maybe Coady as a punt too?

  7. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Torn between Eddie and Gabriel

    1. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Eddie

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Eddie

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Eddie has so much higher potential that I don't have to think about that twice. Nketiah, Saka, Øde, Gabriel / Saliba, Zinch, White in this order imo.

    4. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers all

      Martinelli âž¡ Odegaard

      Greenwood âž¡ Nketiah

      White âž¡ Tarkowski

      -4 and had to bypass Mahrez

  8. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Tough one.
    Have White-Saliba-Martinelli-Walker-Haaland.
    1 ft 3.2itb.
    Which one to do?

    a) Walker+Bruno to Ake+KDB for a hit.
    b) Just Bruno to KDB and hope Walker plays.
    c) White+Bruno+Almiron to Scar+Mahrez+Ode for -8.

    Thanks.

    Seasons over so playing for mini league manager of the month prize.

    Planning to FH this week, WC 24 then BB 25.

    What’s thoughts on FH team?

    Leno
    Akanji Trippier Martinez
    Saka Oddegard KDB Rashford
    Nketiah Haaland Kane

    Ward Andreas Bueno B.Williams.

    Cheers!

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Very close to what a lot of people already have. Is it different/better than ML rivals?

  10. FourLokoLeipzig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which one would you bench?

    A) Shaw (Lee)
    B) Robertson (EVE)
    C) Andreas (NFO)

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably robbo atm

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not Shaw

    3. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      a

    4. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Id sell Robbo...forget benching...eating funda AND not returning...
      Good bye

      1. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Awful as Liverpool are, there’s no way I’m selling him before a double vs Palace and Wolves!

    5. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks all. I was on Andreas, so food for thought!

  11. RubeRx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Happily keeping Martinelli

    1. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I believe I am too....seems to sideways a swap for other Ars player

    2. Indpush
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'm holding too. No reason why he can't score in both or either of each double. Gives me the ability to use three free transfers to 25 and have two frees for 26 if needed. Only need two more transfers for 28 to have a solid team for that week also

  12. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Someone going to play FH GW25 now? Could get just 8 players out without a hit.

  13. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Does it look ok?

    Ward
    Trippier Ake White
    Bruno Mahrez Ode Rashford
    Haaland Kane Nketiah

    Iversen Bailey Bueno Digne

    1. mdm
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, very good. What transfers did you make?

  14. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Best pick for gw25(my fourth defender)?

    a)Tarkowski
    b)Diop
    c)Gomez
    d)Coufal

    1. Christina.
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      a and play him

    2. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A

    3. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      cheers

  15. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    With these moves I could get 8 DGW players for 25...

    Pope Shaw Bruno
    To
    Sa Tark Salah

    For free if things don't go pear shaped

    Sound?

    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hi....0.2mitb...thoughts on:

    Bruno and martinelli to saka and odegaard - 4?

    Think it's worth taking the hit to get the 2 most nailed arsenal mids.....thanks

    Kepa
    Trippier shaw white (botman patterson)
    Kdb bruno rashford martinelli andreas
    Kane Haaland (gnonto)

    Thanks

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Losing Bruno and taking a hit may not pay off with his fixtures through to 24. With Gnonto I'd have thought getting Andreas out would be a priority too?

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers....I want more dgw arsenal players long term...

        I have no cash. Bruno funds arsenal boys...I know the risks

        Haply with andreas and gnonto adds they rotate on the bench and play gw25

  18. thepancakeman123
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I already did Almiron > Saka before the announcement. Now, thanks to having 0.0m in the bank, the only Arsenal player I can get for just a -4 is White. Which is the best option?

    A) Shaw to White this week (-4)
    B) Get Gabriel or Nketiah in GW25

    1. thepancakeman123
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Should've added I have Saka and Odegaard. So this is the third Arsenal player

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not A

    4. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why not get Nketiah? He is the first transfer target now.

      1. thepancakeman123
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        To do that I'd need to take a -8, as I have 0.0m in the bank and Haaland, Kane and Weghorst (I know lol) as my attackers

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I'm getting rid of White

  19. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Those with a 3 5 2 stacked midfield, who are you losing for Eddie?

    Mahrez Bruno Rash Saka Ode

    Not happening

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Getting Gabriel in might be only option

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I wanted Mahrez, but overlooked him to facilitate Nketiah

      In your position, I'd hold Mahrez

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        So Gabriel in instead?

        Much easier tbh

        Jesus back might.help ease the blow but not this week

        1. Ser Davos
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Yep, Gabriel, even for a hit. Optimum 3 ARS got to be shoehorned

          1. FCHaalandaise
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Gives me Gabriel Ode Saka

            1. Ser Davos
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              combined with Mahrez, then you're good to go

              1. FCHaalandaise
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                I have Akanji Mahrez Haaland
                Gabriel * Saka Ode

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have KdB, I will downgrade one defender to get funds.

  20. Victoryue
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bruno to Mahrez worth a hit? I'm trippled up on ManU and only have Haaland for City. Really want to get on this city DGW, also selling Bruno helps me avoid GW25 United blank.

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Bruno is gonna haul until Gw25 imo

      I don't wanna lose him.

      Might do Bruno to Salah to Bruno for 25

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, that is tough. Considering this myself given the new information and having converted White to Nketiah

      Atm I'm on hold, but let's see what tomorrow night brings

  21. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Saka Odegaard Bruno Rashford Mahrez Mitoma
    Haaland Kane Nketiah

    Pretty much the template attacking pool

    Keeping the chips for the Newcastle/Utd/Brighton/Brentford doubles could be DGW bonanza points

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yup

  22. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    People getting excited about Liverpool having a double gameweek is quite comical. Enjoy the 4pts from Salah and Nunez.

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'll take the risk (for free), on Salah

      Then sell immediately after if needed

      I couldn’t agree more to this. They are the worst team in the league post WC. I’d rather invest in Everton and wolves defence. At least they are fighting for their lives and under much better managers

        unless you are using FH or planning to WC straight after Im not sure I would want Everton or Wolves defenders in my team either when you consider how superior the defensive options are from the defences of Newcastle and Utd. You likely wont want them in your team after the double but may not get round to removing them if other transfers take priority.

      Last year I ended up with some real guff obsessing with DGWs... Weghorst comes to mind, Coutinho another

      There'll be some electric DGWs in the final phases I'm sure. Best to save resources (chips, hits and FTs till then)

        Same. I’ve got White and I’m not going sideways

        Golden rule of DGW's well for me anyway is I dont bring in players just for the sake of a DGW if Im not going to want them after. Not unless Im planning a WC straight after. Otherwise you end up with with players stinking out your team and you may not get opportunity to remove them if other transfers end up taking priority. Just isnt worth it for one extra game in which they may only get 2pts anyway.

      People aren't really getting excited from what I've seen lol

      https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/10w47dx/heres_the_double_gameweek_25_fixtures/

      We are living in this alternative universe that Liverpool plays Palace and Wolves and I am not even considering Salah

      As a Liverpool fan can we play more teams other then Wolves and Brighton lol. Last season this would have been a potential TC on Salah but now it's not even close to being considered.

      All good fixtures besides Everton away at Arsenal when you remember Liverpool are terrible so Wolves even have a decent double.

      RIP to those that pick up Salah

      Captaining Darwin would be funny

      Triple up on Wolves then?

    Who are Chelsea's EPL center backs? From what I'm reading it's Thiago Silva and Badiashile. Wondering if Fofana will take up a spot once he's back.

    1. Biggsy

      No idea, but I'm eyeing up Badiashile from next week. Any idea on timeframe for Fofana?

      Pretty much as you have it. Badiashile not registered for UCL is strange given that he looks to be a firm part of the EPL eleven now, and have conceded few goals with him in there. Heightens his FPL prospects further although Fofana is waiting in the wings.

    Is triple Arsenal attack to much ? Thinking of Toney > Nketiah

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Triple is essential, probably two attackers minimum if you care what the hivemind says.

  25. FCHaalandaise

    Ferguson to Nketiah and bench Bruno?

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'll do Bruno to Salah perhaps in 25 then bring Bruno back 26 maybe

    GW25 Free hit time anyone?

    1. FCHaalandaise
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Only if you haven't set your squad up for GW25

      1. FCHaalandaise
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Even then it's not the greatest DGW so nah. Transfers.

  27. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Does the DGW25 make Nketiah more appealing? Or still a risk of sharing minutes with a returning Jesus just when you need him most?

    1. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I would need a hit to get him so I won't, but otherwise I would. More appealing to me, yes.

    Toney > Nketiah
    Martinelli > Saka
    White > R Lewis

    -8 taken, transfers done, hopefully winning bet. Ødegard I have. 0.2 itb left. A pity that I couldn't afford anyone better than Rico Lewis. Wish me luck! 😉

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Oh, that's pretty aggressive.

      I look at Toney + Martinelli + White -> Nketiah + Saka + Akanji

      Good to have better attackers with no blank and DGW defence. But -8 seems too much.

    Actually thinking twice about KDB to Salah in gw25

    1. Victoryue
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think both aren't looking that good. The fact that KDB got benched, and with UCL coming up, means he might be susceptible to rotation, whereas Salah is 100% nailed on but in bad form. Personally I would do the transfer if I don't find any other problems in my team in gw25, hoping for a rank gain.
