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.

    Funny how many poor games there are in the league. Not sure what can be done about it but entertainment has definitely got worse over recent years

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

      Drop 4 teams over the next four years. 3 down 2 up

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

        Less games may lead to more quality as while it’s fun to have fixtures close together, you definitely sense tired teams

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Personally I don't think that this is generally true This is typically the time of year when performances can dip purely down to the number of games regardless of a short break Bound to take its toll In the last few decades football has been less entertaining

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Cancel League Cup and change PL to 18 team league.

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

      Clubs are there to entertain their own fans not the neutrals.

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

        I just don't get people, as neutrals, expecting to be entertained by a bottom of the table clash.

  2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Coady coming on for Cancelo is my first bit of FPL luck in months

    1. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Same here lol

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

      Ait-Nouri for me. Double luck that he got the start even.

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

        smooth

  3. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    TAA (c) fail

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

      Not really, 6 points is never a fail and no other captain choice has hauled

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        6 is always a fail. 8 is minimum

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

          lmao That's the hunger!

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

          Though, I must admit there is something about symmetry and shape of number 8, just better than 6 surely.

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

      😆

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

      lol

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

      Lol

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Salah blanking against bottom of the table burnley. Sounds like he didn’t do much either

    Possible rest upcoming with champions league too?

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

      If he plays 90 mins midweek I’m not sure I captain him

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        See how he plays

        If he’s poor again then definitely something to consider

        Trent or robbo possibly better

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

      More competition for places with Diaz as well. Definitely reduced minutes anyway.

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

      You've gotta imagine there is a chance he doesn't start both in 26 considering there is a final in 27 as well

    4. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Tough fixture and conditions. Could of easily had a pen and a tap in if Mane's head wasn't still in Senegal

  5. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Thanks Trent n Robbo for the weeks work

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

      Got Robbo on the WC. I told many people here to get rid of Jota but they didn’t listen.

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

        Jota owners unlucky

    2. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      My only points as well. Sadly didn’t have the foresight to captain either.

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Terrible cameo from bailey

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

    Weghirst look badly hurt - or just precaution?

    Kinda need him for 26 and 27!

  8. gera.bostock
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Points for no one!

  9. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Salah 3 blanks in a row. Still gonna rise again.

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      2 blanks. Forgot chel.

  10. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Robertson 2 bonus points is the highlight of my week.

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

    If I didn't already own him I'd be avoiding Salah now.

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

      Seriously..?

  12. iL PiStOlErO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Good move on leaving Mo out. Now bringing him on FH this week and still get to keep CR for Watford game and then switch. Could be gold if CR manages to score ever again.

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

      Same tactic here.

      But can't wait to ship CR7 out once 28 comes around

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        We we lose value on him but dont care, I just want 1 goal. Everything else is only a bonus. Hell even that one goal is bonus.

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

          What's value this late in the season and when he's the only premium anyone really wants?

        Can’t have 8 attackers and 2 defenders - so this isn’t true.

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years

    3. RogDog_jimmy
