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

      Meh, didn't expect him to get much against Wolves anyway. One of the worst fixtures Son can have tbf.

      Solid player to own going forwards.

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        me too, today's performance made him more appealing in my eyes, he was into everything

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

      I don’t think I have ever seen anything quite like this.

      It will go down in folklore history

  2. Biggsy

    • 11 Years

    With this Spurs attack, I think a Burnley defensive double up next week could be fruitful.

    I guess just playing this bad means less save points for Pope

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Spot on. Tark or Mee for the occasional gosl threat

  3. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Sa could have a haul here with another save or 2.

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

      I brought him in for the 3 games in a row that he conceded and got rid on WC this week, such is FPL

  4. My heart goes Salalalalah

    Robbo outscoring TAA again...

    Alisson (39)
    Robertson (30)
    Fabinho (29)
    Matip (27)
    van Dijk (26)

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

      Got both 😎

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Same 😀

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

    Weghorst do his hammy? BBC said he landed on his leg awkwardly so not sure although BBC are trite and I'm not sure why I still use their site

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Didn't look like hammy. Either hip or knee. Hard to tell.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Not hammy, landed awkwardly and was feeling something around the back of the knee

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Left leg, hip, hammy... something went!

        Dychy should give us an update on Weggy post game.

      • Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Because their pro-government propaganda is yet to leak into the live text feed?

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

        Cheers all, could be really bad, just as bad as hammy or fine for next week so not much help I guess!

      • thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I don’t think it was a hammy. Twisted knee would be my amateur prognosis

      • space mercenary
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        He was popular on the wildcard. Certainly has implications.

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

      This Burnley v Liverpool game has no chill. Been heavy metal for the full 90 minutes. Great watch.

      Sterling -> Bruno
      Cancelo bench
      Laporte bench
      Regulion bench
      Jota bench
      Salah blank
      Weghorst hammy
      King and Dennis

      One of the worst GWs in more than 15 years playing

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

        That is just shaiteshow.

      2. Union_Jacks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        But apart from that?

      3. Big Mac 24
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Ouch

      4. Big Hands Barry

        Wow ouch, log off and go pub

      5. Podge
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Oof

    5. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Looks like another all be it quite fortunate clean sheet for wolves, Martinez like stuff from sa, element of luck but tons of saves

    6. -GK22-
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Will Watkins ever score again?

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

      DGW25 players might not be so bad this time as almost all template SGW players have blanked mostly as well.

    8. fplgaruda
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Salah's Kriptonite

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

      Cannot quite believe what I’m seeing here

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

        What have you seen

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Definitely not butter

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

            How on earth Spurs haven’t scored is incredible!

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

              They suck. Its simple.

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

                Wait til you see the highlights

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

              Because they are Spuds, not Spurs.

      2. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Salah 3 point captain haul!

      3. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Weghorst was supposed to be the DGW blinded fever like Dennis and King. Oh well.

      4. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        This might put a few doubts in the mind of triple captainers

        1. Il Capitano
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Always blanks v Burnley

        2. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I'm getting closer and closer to BB instead

        3. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Not for me really.

        4. Nanoelektronicar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I hope so. Never in doubt.

          Salah was never great against sitting deep organized defenses. His record v Burnley tells the story it's no fluke.

          Leeds and Norwich flimsy defenses is what he is preying on.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Think he won't start 1

            1. dabber7
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              You would think so, he's not (immediately after AFCON) going to play 5 games in 14 days going to into the final is he?

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

            Sure, but I can't see better TC opportunity than this.

        5. Do I Not Like Orange
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Not for me. Burnley always had the hoodoo over Salah, been saying it for weeks.

        6. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Villa and Everton pumped 3 past Leeds no problem.

        7. MagicMessi
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          No Tc salah is obvious!

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

        Dubravka on max baps from 1 save

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

          Meanwhile Lamptey gets nothing from assisting the game winning goal and a clean sheet

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

            He got 3 bonus yesterday

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

              Wut

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

              How did I miss that, they must have updated it, nice surprise - cheers!

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

        FT, Salah holds his CS point.

      7. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Probably go with TAA TC at this rate. Leeds defending set-pieces is a joke so those with Robbo+TAA could be laughing.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 11 months ago

            + Salah won't start both imo, perfect opportunity for a rest considering there's lots of games including champions League and a cup final

          • NABIL - FPL otai
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Might C TAA over Salah

          No sure which is sh@ter Kane or ronaldo

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

            Kane played well and had a few shots from what i've heard

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Ok perhaps I am being too harsh! I was considering doing ronaldo to Kane -4 but think will
              Hold off now

          Lol at everyone who bashed on Bruno yesterday saying Salah was the one to captain.

        7. Viprin
          • 10 Years

          Chin up Salah owners, at least we caught that 0.1 price rise

          Damn. (C) fails everywhere. Fernandes, Ronaldo, KDB and Salah.

          Fernandes and Ronaldo have another chance though......

            Salah. Two 0s he was absent, one was a penalty miss.

            Fee fee to go without next GW 🙂

        11. DycheDycheBaby

          Another big sa haul, spurs should have scored at least 1 but poor finishing

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

          Spurs have a higher net-spend than Chelsea and Liverpool over the past 5 years, crazy that considering the gulf in class between the squads …
