2432

As Fantasy Premier League managers gear up for the first Double Gameweek 25 of the season, featuring teams like Liverpool, Manchester City, Luton Town, and Brentford, strategic player selections become paramount.

This guide highlights key players from these teams who could significantly impact your FPL team's performance.

Goalkeepers

Premium stoppers Ederson (Manchester City) and Alisson (Liverpool) are top picks for the double gameweek, offering a strong chance of clean sheets and points accumulation.

Thomas Kaminski (Luton Town) and Mark Flekken (Brentford) might not secure clean sheets but have the potential for a high number of saves, making them valuable for their save points.

Defenders

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) stands out as the key defensive asset from Liverpool, especially with Trent Alexander-Arnold's availability in doubt. Nathan Ake (Manchester City) could benefit from Gvardiol's injury and start both games, offering defensive solidity and potential attacking returns.

Alfie Doughty (Luton Town) appears sharp for the Hatters, with a higher likelihood of attacking rather than defensive returns. Gabriel (Arsenal) and William Saliba (Arsenal) showcased their prowess in a recent win and are among the best defensive picks this week against Burnley.

Kieran Trippier (Newcastle) has regained his early-season form and is involved in nearly every attack, making him a strong pick. Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton) emerges as a budget-friendly differential with a promising fixture against an injury-plagued Crystal Palace.

Midfielders

In midfield, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, and Rodri (Manchester City) are essential, though managers should be wary of rotation risks, especially concerning KDB. Diogo Jota (Liverpool) is in excellent form and poised to continue his run in the double gameweek, but the return of Mohamed Salah to training poses selection questions.

Luis Díaz (Liverpool) also demands consideration given his recent attacking returns. Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United), and Pascal Groß (Brighton) stand out as the best budget-friendly assets with a single game this week.

Forwards

Erling Haaland (Manchester City) is expected to start both games, making him a prime candidate for the Triple Captain chip given the favorable fixtures.

Julian Alvarez (Manchester City) also presents a strong option for the captaincy. Ivan Toney (Brentford) and Darwin Núñez (Liverpool) have the potential to shine in the double gameweek. Elijah Adebayo (Luton Town) offers a budget-stretching choice and is likely to start, presenting an attractive differential.

As FPL managers navigate through Gameweek 25, focusing on players with double gameweek fixtures and considering form, rotation risks, and potential for points will be key to maximizing returns. Good luck to all managers as they make their selections for this pivotal gameweek!
