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.

    Keeping Martinelli is turning out to be one of my best moves this season!

    1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Forgetting to make transfers is not a move

      1. Heavy Cream
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I kept the faith as opposed to forgetting to transfer. A lot of knee jerkers in this game.

        1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Uh I also kept the faith except I didn't. He just happens to still be in my team which I feel good about but that does not mean I played well or saw it coming. I lucked out but you must be a far better player than I am

          1. Heavy Cream
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Best non-move

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

      Waiting to say the same about Havertz after the games vs Leeds and Leicster.

      1. Heavy Cream
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Tbf I’ve also been saying it about Mahrez. Think I may have to bite the bullet with that one

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Patience got rewarded at last. I defended him as a pick for both doubles and advised people not to sell him. It's gonna go down as one of my favourite moments of this season for sure. 🙂

    5. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sold him for a hit to Odegaard. Plummeting in my ML

    6. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i kept him too!

  2. dark91
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which mid range mids to bring in for the next few GWs?

    Other mids are Mahrez, Saka, Bowen, and Mitoma

  3. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I’m a saints fan who’s captained Salah, owns Gakpo, Bueno and Nketiah.

    I don’t own Saka or Martinelli

    Anyone doing worse

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Has Bueno not started?

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

        started and now off injured.

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch man. Sorry

    3. Heavy Cream
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah that’s pretty dire. WC time?

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

      I wanna give u a hug

    5. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Swap gakpo for mahrez

      41 points, plummeting down ranks

    6. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No, but I am doing identically.

    7. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      takes a lot of courage to post when things are going sour , respect

    8. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      This is much better than the "I kept martinelli, I am so great" posts. Well done mate

      1. Heavy Cream
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ha ha ha soooo salty. What a clown!

        1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I have martinelli so how can I be salty? Loving his points. Not loving the arrogant luck many on here are showing to stroke their insecure egos. I guess your comment confirms the latter

          1. Heavy Cream
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Salty about my comment. It’s a game mate, get a grip of yourself and find something important to moan about.

            1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Oh quite right. Your comments are awful and worthy of much salt. It is a game and you are no master. I do much prefer the humble comment that began this thread. I am allowed to hold that view despite what you say about me.

              1. Heavy Cream
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Ha ha go and get some sun and have a good day

  4. lilmessipran

    3 years, 1 month ago

    This Hoolahan guy from Grimsby is the same person who used to play for Norwich a few years ago?

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

      No

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years

  5. Steve The Spud

    What minute wolves scuffing one in to bust this cleanie

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

      I'm hoping Trent scores so I'm a little less annoyed about that Bueno injury.

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

      Just after Darwin got subbed at 66

  6. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    WC just so I don't have to look at Salah, nketia or mahrez in my team anymore

  7. PartyTime
    • 4 Years

    Salah score a goal ffs

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Brought in Tarkowski and Darwin for a hit this week....would have been better off making no transfers and starting just 9

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

        😆 think so too

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

        Nketiah & Salah(-8)

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

    An injury to a £3.9m defender might end up pushing me towards a Wildcard 😆

    Silly game!

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

      this

  9. djman102
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Note that if Grimsby hold then ARS-SOU is ON in GW32!

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

      Even if they go through they aren't making the semis so it'll be on anyways.

  10. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Live FPl on the blink - unless those Saka returns really do have me 745th....

    3. FPL Pillars

      3 years, 1 month ago

      That it?

  11. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So apparently Saka is the best player in the world now whats going on turns out not having him now is a red arrow guaranteed

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years

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

    3. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years

      Ball wasn’t out

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

  23. Zimo

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

    It's actually lol at all of us. Loading up on Pool assets despite them being poor all season.

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

      Just Trent here.

      The Salah and Darwin transfers were extremely short sighted

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

        They were’t, they were an opportunity like any other

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

        Me too, brought Trent in for free and ignored the others

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's going to force a lot of wildcards. Then pool going to beat Man Utd 4-0 or something stupid

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

        That's fpl

  27. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Well need a Salah brace in this 2nd half. Set myself up for this so I'm getting what I deserve.

    Looks like I'll have to change the target from top 10k to top 100k!

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

      No we don't 🙂

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Will be unfortunate not to get a single return I suppose.

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    selling the big lump tarkowski back to shaw

    should never have sold shaw

      • 12 Years

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

        Technically I did Patterson > Tarkowski and Shaw to TAA but I’ll be happy to lose Tarkowski at some point.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is Shaw fit?

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

    There will be tears of joy in my eyes if Bueno holds on to outscore Tark!

    1. wilshere89
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You can start crying.. Bueno got subbed but might still outscore tark

  30. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    C Saka & sticking with Martinelli & not ripping team to get Salah best decision I made all season!
