Exciting rounds of Fantasy Premier League are ahead of us, full of double and blank gameweeks, starting with double gameweek 25, where Liverpool and Aston Villa play twice.
Without further ado, let’s jump to our FPL GW25 Tips, where we discuss best picks, transfer targets, captain, differentials, odds & team selection.
1. Fantasy Premier League Double Gameweek 25 Tips
- Be careful with how many Aston Villa players you will bring to your team, as Aston Villa will blank in GW29
- Try to have 3 Liverpool players again, despite their blank in GW29
- Do not tear your team apart just to bring in Aston Villa defenders, they have just 3 clean sheets in PL this season (despite more clean sheets in the Champions League)
- Liverpool, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Crystal Palace will have postponed games in GW29 (highly likely blank gameweek for them)
- As outlined in the Official FPL FAQ’s, Slot’s red card and touchline ban does not apply to FPL, if he is your assistant manager, he will receive FPL points in GW25
- start preparing your chip strategy
- When doing transfers, have blank GW29 fixtures on mind as well
2. FPL Double Gameweek 25 Transfer Tips and Key Players to pick
Key players to pick
- Salah – the best player in the game, your captain
- TAA/VVD/Alison – have Liverpool defensive coverage
- Gakpo/Díaz – both are indifferent options in our opinion, pick one and stick to him, you cannot plan which one will haul next, or which one will play more minutes – that is outside of your control, so just pick one of them as your second LIV attacker, next to Salah and TAA
- Palmer – second best player in the game, its that easy
- Gabriel/Raya – have at least one Arsenal defensive player
- Wood – talisman for NFO
- Mbeumo – the key man for Brentford, can deliver in any match, fixtures do not really matter
Transfer targets
- Rogers, Watkins
- Liverpool players if you do not have 3 of them already
- Bournemouth attackers – for their great fixture run
Potential differentials
- Rashford – if he is likely to start (but it does not look like that currently)
