The penultimate match of Double Gameweek 23 takes place on Monday, as Liverpool host Merseyside rivals Everton at Anfield.

Both clubs will ‘double’ in Gameweek 25, while the Toffees also have a guaranteed fixture in Blank Gameweek 28, placing extra emphasis on tonight’s performances from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Jurgen Klopp makes two changes to the side that lost 3-0 at Molineux last time out, as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson come in for Naby Keita and Thiago. The latter was a doubt and fails to make the matchday squad.

However, in better news, Virgil van Dijk, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are all back on the bench, having recovered from their respective injuries.

As for Everton, Dominic Calvert-Lewin misses out with a hamstring injury, having been rated ‘touch and go at best’ by Sean Dyche in his pre-match press conference.

He’s replaced by 22-year-old Ellis Simms, who makes only his second Premier League start for the Toffees, in the only change from Gameweek 22.

GAMEWEEK 23 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Gomez, Robertson, Bajcetic, Fabinho, Henderson, Salah, Gakpo, Darwin

Subs: Kelleher, van Dijk, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Elliott, Jota, Tsimikas, Phillips

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, McNeil, Doucoure, Onana, Iwobi, Simms

Subs: Begovic, Holgate, Keane, Gray, Mina, Maupay, Godfrey, Davies, Vinagre

    When you go to check Gakpo's price for the double then realize he'd a mid...

      Terrible pick

        2 years, 11 months ago

        but... double game week.
        Terrible, but twice!! Eh! Eh! Tempted..?

        1. CrouchDown
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          It won’t be twice with Jota and Firmino back

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I have enough in the bank to do Andreas to Gakpo

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Terrible pick

  2. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is Bruno & rash to salah & Onana DGW25 worth it?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hell no

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

        Means would have to go gakpo or -4 to get salah

    2. CrouchDown
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No

      I wouldn’t lose Rash and Onana is not a good fpl asset

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

        Can’t afford salah otherwise

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Why do you need Salah anyway?

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

            Haven’t had him for a while so fancy giving him a try again

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      So you want to sell Rashford…

      Pls do, I need my ranking to improve

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

        I don’t but with MU blank have to sell Utd or Newcastle

      2. BeaversWithAttitude
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Since he's not playing GW 25, he won't improve your rank, or anyone else's.

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Many thanks for staying the obvious.

          Why are skipping GW24 though?

          1. La Roja
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Stating*

          2. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            I would sell rash until DGW25

        2. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I can sell DGW25 & get back GW27

          1. La Roja
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            So is your question of the post is for gw24 or 25?

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

              DGW25. I would roll a transfer GW24 to hsve 2 FTs DGW25

              1. La Roja
                • 13 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                Makes sense

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

                  Ok cheers- I know nuts to sell rash DGW25 but he blanks that week then away to liv GW26. However I would get back for gw27

    4. DycheDycheBaby

      Madness. Absolute madness !

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

        Ok cheers sounds a bad move then!

      Step way from the booze

  3. Ze_Austin

    Liverpool's finally playing with intensity here

    Our press doesn't work without intensity

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I don’t think any press works without intensity.

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

        I can confirm my kitchen presses are pretty intense

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I have a citrus press which is positively psychotic.

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

            My bench press isn't working

            Probably because it's never existed

            1. The Knights Template
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Stop press!

    2. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      They effectively abandoned the press this season in favour of a more possession based system. It didn't work.

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

        Yeah. I hope it's back now

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

        I think they tried to keep the press but just can't do it. Henderson isn't able to do it any more, Elliott is a little too slow in transition and Thiago doesn't really do enough. No Mane makes a difference too of course

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          This is the sad truth. Spot on, and only three lines!

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

            Scary stuff, I shall prepare the thesis!

            1. The Knights Template
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Imagine if you and Ze_Austin were bred! Dostoevsky himself would turn in his grave!

  4. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Nunez +xG

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

    xNunez

  6. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Surprised Pickford saved that tbh.

  7. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Salah TC if they keep the form locked in

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

      What form ? 😀

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        From now til the double.

      2. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If Salah does well next game he’ll be a great differential TC

    2. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hard to tell from this 60 minute run they're on.

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

      Lol

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Don’t lol yet you might end up eating your words

    4. g40steve
      • 7 Years

      What form?

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 11 months ago

    Post 60 bonus:
    3 - Alexander-Arnold (35)
    2 - Gomez (30)
    1 - Salah (27)

    Matip (25)
    Robertson (23)
    Alisson (22)
    Darwin (22)

    TAA on a 12 pointer! He's back

    1. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Thats for shaw

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

      Jomez essential

  9. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Don’t know if I’m able to afford Salah but Darwin and TAA look good for the double

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

      Not anymore. Jota is back.

  10. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Do we fall for it?

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

      Be rude not to!

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

      Yes please. I need to improve rank.

    3. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      already falling here testing out transfers for next week

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        This.

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

        Considered trying that. I can only afford KdB to Salah though 🙁 and after that zilch itb. My defenders are Shaw, T Silva, Trippier, Bueno and R Lewis, so not looking good. I would like to sell Bruno, but not tempted to get Gakpo or anyone else in unless Maddison perhaps. Not optimal.

    4. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Trap is set and its calling me

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

    All Gak, some poo.

  12. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I am Liverpool and chasing in my ML. Which transfer is most urgent?

    A) Romero to TAA
    B) Weghorst to Nunez

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I am a Liverpool fan*

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      B

  13. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How was that a TAA assist?

    Gakpo was not intended target

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

      Who did the ball touch?!? Are you joking or trolling?

      1. CrouchDown
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Did you not see the last replay? It takes a major deflection (I think off Coady)

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

          Nope tbh. But who was intended target in your opinion? Just like from corners, it's not so clear and assists are always given.

  14. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    FH25 could be tempting, but more likely disaster.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Team specific obviously but I would rather use it in GW29 which will be a much bigger DGW

  15. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Who to bench?

    1. Martinelli v AVL (A)
    2. Darwin v NEW (A)
    3. Gakpo v NEW (A)

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Darwin

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        3

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      2 and 3

    3. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Never thought to see a team with Nunez and Gakpo in it at this stage

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

        Draft team?

  16. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Are any liverpool defenders worth a punt for the double?

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

      The full backs, high risk, high reward.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      TAA looks a good shout
      Back to double digit scoring

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Would be my first time in ages this season having a premium defender. Would prefer someone like Gomez if he was a set starter both games

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Nah don't do that really. VVD is on the bench

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

        Double digits?

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

      If VVD is back then they do become a option. Liverpool got Real Madrid game before the Palace game so there always a small chance of Klopp rotating.

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yes only guarantee is the full backs, alot of money for guys not in form. Will see how bad they are in the champions league, probably do well for the big game

  17. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trent on course for a 12 pointer. It feels like 2021 again..

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How? He's on 9 with 0 bonus

      1. lespaul
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He's on 3 bonus

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Nope, assist is gone

        2. ☈☾
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Salah (33)
          Gomez (30)
          Matip (28)
          Gakpo (25)
          Alexander-Arnold (24)

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

          Oh he was a minute ago!

      2. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        6 points*

  18. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    So he does have his yellow cards with him

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How on Earth did Everton pick up points vs. Man City & Arsenal.

    Signed, a jealous Chelsea fan.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Everton basically seem to step up against top teams and suck against midtable teams like Liverpool

    2. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      They'll probably batter Chelsea too.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Wouldn't surprise me.

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

      They "always" play like sh*t vs Pool. Yearly tradition.

  20. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Now my interest is high, Jota on

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Same!

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

    Jota on. Liverpool gonna be good for the double with him back

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Prob get injured again by then

  22. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Jota lives!

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    FH25 with TAA + Jota + Salah could tempt some

  24. lespaul
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

  26. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    the way he's looking & behaving you could think Pickford is related to BoJo

  27. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    mate everton are so bad

  28. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  29. YouReds

    2 years, 11 months ago
