We have two Double Gameweek 25 matches taking place on Wednesday evening, split over GMT kick-off times of 19:45 and 20:00.

It’s a great opportunity for Arsenal to take advantage of their game in hand and go five points clear of Manchester City, while Everton need a win to escape the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, recent results have put Wolverhampton Wanderers three points above the Toffees, as they prepare to face Liverpool for the fourth time in under two months.

The big news revolves around two popular FPL forwards right now – Darwin Nunez (£8.8m) and Eddie Nketiah (£6.8m). Whilst the Uruguayan starts for Liverpool, an unchanged Arsenal line-up means Nketiah remains on their bench.

It means that Gabriel Martinelli (£6.5m) starts again, alongside the usual Bukayo Saka (£8.5m), Martin Odegaard (£7.0m) and established first-choice defence.

Nunez for Cody Gakpo (£7.8m) is one of six changes made by Jurgen Klopp, with a completely different midfield trio plus the introduction of Kostas Tsimikas (£4.4m) and Ibrahima Konate (£4.8m) for Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) and Joel Matip (£5.9m).

Key players Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) survive the mass rotation.

As for Everton and Wolves, both have made one alteration to their weekend line-ups. Michael Keane (£4.2m) replaces Conor Coady (£4.9m) for the Toffees, whilst Julen Lopetegui brings Joao Moutinho (£4.7m) in for Matheus Cunha (£5.5m).

Hugo Bueno (£3.9m) starts but Nathan Patterson (£3.9m) will not participate at all.

  2. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    70 matches managed for Moyes against United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea and he has never won once! What a pudding.

    1. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Really?!

  3. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Saint's and Spurs out who'd have thought

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

    Howtf i get Saka in if i already have had Martinelli, Odegaard and Gabriel.

    First time I will ignore top3 player because the whole team scores from every angle

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sell odegaard

    2. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m currently weighing up Nketiah and TAA to Zinchenko and ??? For a hit

    3. jack88
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      All of them are gold. Just stick with what you got. Despite blanking i kept martinelli. And now keeping odegard. But saka is better than odegard imo

  5. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane back on the menu?

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's a trap. Spurs are dire. He can't keep scoring flukes every game.

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He’s still Kane though

        And new manager bounce soon maybe?

        1. The Senate
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Haha as i Type this he misses a big un

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Never left mine...

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

      Essential over the next 3!

    4. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland Toney Watkins all likely to outscore him IMO and not to mention what you can do with the change.

    5. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It’s a no from me

  6. jack88
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bueno 1 pointer is a massive. Otherwise it would have been zero

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It'd still be 1

    2. jack88
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He would get a yellow

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He would have been subbed around 60 IMO

  7. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah just doing enough for his owners to keep him ?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, gone for me asap, utter garbage

  8. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Of course Salah had to score. What an awful night.

  9. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Erik Ten Hag will make United great again.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I love the way how we always look for the positive option whether it's the pass, tackle, interceptions, or shooting, haven't seen much of time wasting and that sort of stuff either. Love ETH.

  10. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Phew! No Saka but Salah(c). Dodged a bullet

  11. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane miss 😛

  12. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Never in my wildest dreams would I have foresaw my current score with only 9 players. It can be done folks. GW28 is an opportunity rather than not!

  13. BUZZBOMB ♡
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    In 24 hours Ive gone from navigating 27-29 to WC26 methinks. Lking forward to those WC drafts tomos.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      WC time to get Kane in ?

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Probably an overreaction…

        I already have him though, no Darwin or Salah

  15. jack88
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How the hell trent is on 1bonus. Just because a dodgy cs and random cross? This game is a joke.

  19. Pat Bonner

    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like FH might not even be needed for the blank gws

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      WC26 and FH34/37

  20. Tcheco

    Grimsby and Sheffield hooooooooold

  21. ChuckyPancamo
    • 8 Years

    Tarkowski over Van Dijk went well...

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Should have gone Shaw to VVD instead of Patterson > Tark.. horrible

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Dawson here. Wanted to hedge my bet with 28 in mind. Stupid decision when I am 1.5m ranked. You go for the upside. Darwin injured and this game. How'd he not got points? Eliott.

  22. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Trent cleanie locked

  23. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane is a hold at least till dgw29 right?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes, then get Toney

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years

      Yes

  24. Alcapaul

    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Time to pop the WC!

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It wont help, trust me! Used mine for this game week, Nunez, March, Estupian all got injured, sold Martinelli for Saka and went for Gabriel over Zinchenko.

  25. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    GW28 (K)ane is on

  26. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    TAA off, Milner on
    Nunez off, Firmino on

  27. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thanks for nothing. Again. Darwin. Such an awful pick.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Selling for Toney

  28. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    TAA locked clean

  29. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Garnacho man. Superb performance. Best player on the pitch.

    When he grows some muscle he'll be a force. Still a young boy.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wish he was a RW. Him and Rashford together would have been superb. Now they'll have to compete.

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

        Squad game. Lots of games to play. And 5 subs every match.

  30. JBG

    Score now Wolves
