Double Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues this Sunday lunchtime, with Burnley v Liverpool, Newcastle United v Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers kicking-off at 14:00 GMT.

The big team news comes from Turf Moor, where Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane return to Liverpool’s attack, alongside Roberto Firmino in Jurgen Klopp’s 4-3-3 formation.

That means Diogo Jota drops to the bench with new signing Luis Diaz.

Sean Dyche makes one change for Burnley, with Aaron Lennon coming in for Dwight McNeil.

At Newcastle, Eddie Howe makes two changes from Gameweek 24, with Dan Burn and Javier Manquillo in for Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Targett, who is ineligible.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa bring in Calum Chambers for the suspended Ezri Konsa.

Elsewhere, Rodrigo Bentancur makes his first start for Antonio Conte, as he replaces Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the engine room, while there are also changes at wing-back, with Matt Doherty and Ryan Sessegnon coming in for Emerson Royal and Sergio Reguilon, both of whom are substitutes.

For their opponents, Bruno Lage hands a first Premier League start to Luke Candle, with Rayan Ait-Nouri also returning to the XI for Marcal.

  1. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    play up

  2. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Auditions for GW26...

  3. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Need hauls from Salah and Robbo today as my rivals don't own them (yet)!

    1. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      There is people that dont own Salah! That's wreckless

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        They're playing a very dangerous game that's for sure!

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        People opted for Bruno this week. Everyone will have him for 26.

      3. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I miss my Salah comfort blanket. Can't wait to have it again next week...

      4. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        it is only one game, and who knows who they have instead?

    2. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Same here. Can't believe people I my league don't own him yet. Need him to make it count....

  4. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Bottomed. Which looks a better option for the DGW?

    A) DDG & Foden to Pope & Saka

    B) Foden & DCL to Son & Broja

    Currently have no Arsenal, Burnley or Spurs.

    1. RoryzonderR
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      A looks better...

  5. TopBinFC
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    No Jota, that's not cool, at least he might play both the DGWs games now or is that being too optimistic

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Optimistic I would say

    2. Salan
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Will not be 180 minutes but I think 120 minutes are enough for him to perform well in dgw26.

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Will be hard to predict when he plays now, people seem to have forgotten how highly Klopp rates Firmino and how well he normally plays with Mane and Salah, and Diaz had a great debut the other day as well

    4. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      very high chance

    5. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Didn’t just say he was meant to play but got a dead leg?

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        * Kloop

    6. fantasyfog
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Easily, only not playing as effects of dead leg still there, he'll play minimum 1.5 games

  6. RoryzonderR
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Might be too optimistic if you expect 180 minutes

  7. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Reguilon: Worst ever buy for me

  8. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Foster*
    Digne | TAA* | Cancelo
    Salah* | Bowen | Luiz | Jota*
    CR7 | Dennis | Antonio
    DDG | Ramsey | Mitchell* | Livra

    1 FT & 1.8 ITB

    Luiz + CR7 >> Saka* + Kane* (-4)

    do it?

  9. Kun Tozser
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    DGW26

    Ramsdale
    TAA Tierny Saiss
    Salah Mane Saka Raphina Olise
    Kane Weghurst

    Any double game week punts missing?

  10. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Is Jota Don't buy don't sell option??

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, can go after the DGW.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I don't think he is a priority to sell, still first choice. But CL means rotation issues and having too many rotation risks like 3x MCI +Jota + Reguillon looks like an issue 🙁

      2. fantasyfog
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        A link to his stats should be enough, but what do I know

  11. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Jota started 5/6 games in Jan (rotated for FA cup v Shrewsbury)
    He started on 6th & 10th so not mega surprised rested for this match
    With Milan 16th
    Norwich 19th
    Leeds 23rd
    EFL final 27th can see a lot of rotation for the Leeds match

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Even Salah & TAA I xan see being rested for 23rd!

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I wouldn't be surprised to see todays front 3 start vs Inter too, Klopps tried and tested.

      Final as well.

    3. fantasyfog
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Not rested

  12. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Why isn't Son on the watchlist?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He's on mine.

      For KDB!

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      The watchlist has been questionable all season. Its updated by one person alone so not surprising

    3. fantasyfog
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I think that's where I'm heading fo 26

    4. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He plays for spurs

      1. fantasyfog
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        That is a good point, will see after today

        1. MikeS
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I like son but spurs look absolutely awful

          1. MikeS
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Can't see them getting anything against city and burnley will keep it tight

        2. fantasyfog
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          So looking like a no then ha

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I was intending losing Foden for him. Am not totally convinced by him. Away to City (who are slight favourites to keep a C.S. in said game and away to resolute Burnley side. Hmmmmm.

  13. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    This team look ok for next week? 8 double week players and 11 starters for 27. Not my favourite team but best can do without playing WC which I am tempted to do but not ideal with fixtures swing in 28

    Means -8 on Bruno KDB DDG to Son Salah Ramsdale

    Ramsdale*
    TAA* Cancelo Digne
    Salah* (TC) Son* Jota* Raphinha*
    Edouard* King*

    Sanchez Antonio Dalot Dawson

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good to me. Like the moves.

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks

    2. fantasyfog
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      -8 is a shame, that's a lot to make up

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Not really, when you are buying three top notch dgw players

        1. fantasyfog
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Whilst giving everyone who already has them am 8 point head start

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Well you can’t do anything about that. Are you suggesting that it’s better to not have them at all because others have them?

            1. fantasyfog
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              I saying you should have planned better

          2. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            4 of those points is immediately made up in appearance points. Worth the outlay imo. Net points should increase in the long run.

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

        With getting 3 double players I am ok with that- suspect there will be quite a few -8’s. Hits have worked out ok for me this season getting rank. 44 points hit since week 16 and risen from 270K to 47K overall ( very lucky I know!)

        1. fantasyfog
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          That's a great increase, takes some doing, in that case don't listen to me you seem to know what you're doing

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Might be inclined to delay Bruno - Son one more week, not sure you'll make up that -4 immediately

      1. fantasyfog
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah waiting on spurs today to see if they manage to play some football, will decide on son after

  14. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Please don’t haul Salah, yellow card blank please.

  15. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Who could do with a Super Sunday?

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I’ve already played crazy golf and had a Turkish for lunch. My Sunday has been great so far.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Super.

        Let's hope Salah gets in some action as well.

        1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I really pray he doesn’t

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Didn't have you down as the religious type.

            Here's hoping the Egyptian Liverpool God's look favourably on Turf Moor!!

  16. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    For fixture ticker at member's page, can we remove specific GW, just like in front page?

  17. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Cmon Wout Wereghost!

  18. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Cornet and Weghorst watch. Super duper excited!!

    1. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Cornet weg and pope

  19. Oggle22
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Jota on yet? In all seriousness if he's had a dead leg and didn't train will he come on at all if Liverpool are winning?

  20. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Have all my chips available and was planning to TC Salah in 26. Any thoughts on when to use my other chips?

    DDG
    Coady - TAA - Lamptey
    Salah (TC) - Jota - KDB - Bowen - Saka
    Dennis - Edouard

    Bachman - Cancelo - Broja - Dier

  21. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Jimmy Nez!

  22. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Jiminez G

  23. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Ben Davies out for a hit even though he has a DGW is gonna feel so good

  24. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Reguilon cleanie gone

    1. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      From the bench?

  25. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Jimenez has now scored more goals in 6 minutes than Antonio and Watkins combined in 705 mins... 😉

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Robbo so involved!

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      That is music to my ears

      1. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        It's a lovely tune!

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Been looking good since he came back from injury. The rest did him good, and Tsimikas got him scared maybe.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Expecting big haul today after watching Roberts struggle with the Shaw/Sancho overlap. Even briefly considered Robbo (C)

  27. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    I feel like the era of reliable big hitters is over.

    City rotation is the norm but Liverpool will rotate more as will other teams.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Looks that way at the moment, with the exceptions of Salah and Son. But you never know. If a superstar like Haaland arrives you'd expect him to play every game, even at City.

  28. Hiiler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    What are the chances that Jota doesn't play at all??? Would like that very much since I would get 6 points from bench then. 🙂 Probably those chances are very small though.....

  29. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    The first GW I have had no bench (Arsenal players) and De Bruyne, Cancelo, Jota not involved...absolute disaster.

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Same, been a season where I've purposely had a full playing squad of 15

      I have Saka and White on my bench, KDB Cancello and Jota not starting... I could end up with 9 players

  30. fusen
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Owned Davies since GW19

    0, 2, 6, 1, 1, 1, 1

    Absolute waste of money
