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.

    Keeping Martinelli is turning out to be one of my best moves this season!

    1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Forgetting to make transfers is not a move

      1. Heavy Cream
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I kept the faith as opposed to forgetting to transfer. A lot of knee jerkers in this game.

        1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Uh I also kept the faith except I didn't. He just happens to still be in my team which I feel good about but that does not mean I played well or saw it coming. I lucked out but you must be a far better player than I am

          1. Heavy Cream
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Best non-move

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Waiting to say the same about Havertz after the games vs Leeds and Leicster.

      1. Heavy Cream
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Tbf I’ve also been saying it about Mahrez. Think I may have to bite the bullet with that one

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Patience got rewarded at last. I defended him as a pick for both doubles and advised people not to sell him. It's gonna go down as one of my favourite moments of this season for sure. 🙂

    5. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Sold him for a hit to Odegaard. Plummeting in my ML

    6. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      i kept him too!

  2. dark91
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which mid range mids to bring in for the next few GWs?

    Other mids are Mahrez, Saka, Bowen, and Mitoma

  3. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I’m a saints fan who’s captained Salah, owns Gakpo, Bueno and Nketiah.

    I don’t own Saka or Martinelli

    Anyone doing worse

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Has Bueno not started?

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        started and now off injured.

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ouch man. Sorry

    3. Heavy Cream
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah that’s pretty dire. WC time?

    4. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I wanna give u a hug

    5. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Swap gakpo for mahrez

      41 points, plummeting down ranks

    6. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No, but I am doing identically.

    7. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      takes a lot of courage to post when things are going sour , respect

    8. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      This is much better than the "I kept martinelli, I am so great" posts. Well done mate

      1. Heavy Cream
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Ha ha ha soooo salty. What a clown!

        1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I have martinelli so how can I be salty? Loving his points. Not loving the arrogant luck many on here are showing to stroke their insecure egos. I guess your comment confirms the latter

          1. Heavy Cream
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Salty about my comment. It’s a game mate, get a grip of yourself and find something important to moan about.

            1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Oh quite right. Your comments are awful and worthy of much salt. It is a game and you are no master. I do much prefer the humble comment that began this thread. I am allowed to hold that view despite what you say about me.

              1. Heavy Cream
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                Ha ha go and get some sun and have a good day

  4. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    This Hoolahan guy from Grimsby is the same person who used to play for Norwich a few years ago?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'm hoping Trent scores so I'm a little less annoyed about that Bueno injury.

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Just after Darwin got subbed at 66

  6. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    WC just so I don't have to look at Salah, nketia or mahrez in my team anymore

  7. PartyTime
    • 4 Years

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years

      He is utter garbage

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Brought in Tarkowski and Darwin for a hit this week....would have been better off making no transfers and starting just 9

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        😆 think so too

      2. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Nketiah & Salah(-8)

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    An injury to a £3.9m defender might end up pushing me towards a Wildcard 😆

    Silly game!

    1. Juza
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      this

  9. djman102
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Note that if Grimsby hold then ARS-SOU is ON in GW32!

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Even if they go through they aren't making the semis so it'll be on anyways.

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

    Live FPl on the blink - unless those Saka returns really do have me 745th....

      2 years, 10 months ago

      That it?

  11. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So apparently Saka is the best player in the world now whats going on turns out not having him now is a red arrow guaranteed

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years

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

    3. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years

      Ball wasn’t out

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

  23. Zimo

  24. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    It's actually lol at all of us. Loading up on Pool assets despite them being poor all season.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Just Trent here.

      The Salah and Darwin transfers were extremely short sighted

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        They were’t, they were an opportunity like any other

      2. bombonera
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Me too, brought Trent in for free and ignored the others

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It's going to force a lot of wildcards. Then pool going to beat Man Utd 4-0 or something stupid

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        That's fpl

  27. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Well need a Salah brace in this 2nd half. Set myself up for this so I'm getting what I deserve.

    Looks like I'll have to change the target from top 10k to top 100k!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No we don't 🙂

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Will be unfortunate not to get a single return I suppose.

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    selling the big lump tarkowski back to shaw

    should never have sold shaw

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years

      Same

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Technically I did Patterson > Tarkowski and Shaw to TAA but I’ll be happy to lose Tarkowski at some point.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Is Shaw fit?

  29. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    There will be tears of joy in my eyes if Bueno holds on to outscore Tark!

    1. wilshere89
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You can start crying.. Bueno got subbed but might still outscore tark

  30. jacob1989
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    C Saka & sticking with Martinelli & not ripping team to get Salah best decision I made all season!
