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.

    Nkeitah benched
    Bueno crocked
    Tark booked.
    Martinelli removed
    Saka not captained.

        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Every point he gets is a red arrow.

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

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

    Arteta should bench Martinelli more often if this is the reaction he gets! Loving this as an owner!

  5. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years

  7. Count of Monte Hristo

    Zero points for Tarkowski in a double gameweek really is disgusting to see.

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He should get 1

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Patterson matching him is utterly beautiful though

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure someone out there has him captain too

    4. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years

  10. SINGH
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why no West Ham clean sheet points added to players?

    Also it's showing Rashford and Shaw as blanks. Have they not started the match?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years

      "Since Dyche has taken over, Tarkowski is 1st among all Everton players for shots in the box, penalty area touches & expected goal invovlement (xGi).

      The attacking threat is legit"

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