Double Gameweek 25: Liverpool vs Aston Villa

As the FPL season heats up, another Double Gameweek is approaching, bringing with it fresh opportunities for fantasy managers.

After a thrilling Double Gameweek 24, which saw players like Mohamed Salah and Beto shine, the excitement continues as Liverpool and Aston Villa are set to play twice in Gameweek 25.

Here’s everything you need to know as you prepare for this busy round of fixtures.

Liverpool’s Players: A Solid Investment

If you’ve been backing Liverpool players, you’re likely in a good position for the upcoming Double Gameweek.

Despite a frustrating 2-2 draw at Goodison Park, the Reds’ assets remain in high demand.

With fixtures against Wolves and Villa, the likes of Mohamed Salah are set to make an impact, especially after his strong showing last time out.

Salah, in particular, is expected to be the standout player.

He’s predicted to score more than five points higher than any other player this week, making him the most popular captain pick.

This could be the last opportunity for managers with the Triple Captain chip to use it on Salah this season, given Liverpool’s early FA Cup exit.

Aston Villa’s Rising Stars

While Liverpool might have the spotlight, Aston Villa is another team worth watching closely.

With exciting players like Ollie Watkins, Morgan Rogers, and new signings Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio, Villa has a lot of fantasy potential. Their clash against Ipswich Town before facing Liverpool could be a great chance to pick up points.

For managers looking to diversify their picks, Ollie Watkins stands out as the top choice from Villa, despite being an injury concern.

His recent form, with two goals and an assist in the past four gameweeks, has made him a key player for Unai Emery’s side.

If he recovers in time, he’s expected to play a significant role in both fixtures.

Top Picks for Double Gameweek 25

Captain Pick: Mohamed Salah (£13.7m) – 15.5 Predicted Points

Salah is once again the go-to captain for many managers.

His ability to deliver big returns makes him an obvious choice, and with a predicted 15.5 points, he tops the list.

Salah has already proven his worth with double-digit hauls this season, and given his form, he’s set to continue his impressive run.

Differential Pick: Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.3m) – 8.4 Predicted Points

If you’re looking for a differential, Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai is a great option.

Playing in an advanced central role, Szoboszlai has been gaining momentum, starting five consecutive Premier League games. With a goal and an assist in the 4-1 win against Ipswich Town, he’s ready to contribute again, making him a smart pick for those not fully invested in Liverpool’s top stars.

Best Defender Pick: Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) – 10.2 Predicted Points

Trent Alexander-Arnold, though returning from a hamstring injury, is expected to make a big impact in Double Gameweek 25.

His attacking threat, coupled with Liverpool’s strong defense, makes him a valuable asset.

With seven goal involvements this season and impressive stats for key passes and chances created, Alexander-Arnold remains a top pick for fantasy managers.

Best Aston Villa Pick: Ollie Watkins (£8.9m) – 8.8 Predicted Points

Watkins is the best bet for Aston Villa this week, especially given his recent form.

Despite being an injury doubt, he’s expected to feature and make an impact in both fixtures.

With his ability to score and assist, Watkins could be the key to unlocking points for those looking to invest in Villa players.

Best Single Gameweek Pick: Cole Palmer (£11.2m) – 6.9 Predicted Points

Chelsea’s Cole Palmer is the top pick among single gameweek players.

While his recent form hasn’t been as strong as in previous weeks, Palmer still stands out for his potential.

After a standout performance earlier in the season, scoring all four goals in a 4-2 win against Brighton, he’s capable of delivering big returns, even if Chelsea’s form has been inconsistent.

Conclusion

With both Liverpool and Aston Villa set to play twice in Gameweek 25, it’s an exciting time for FPL managers.

Whether you’re investing in Liverpool’s star players like Salah and Alexander-Arnold or taking a chance on Aston Villa’s rising stars like Watkins, there are plenty of opportunities to rack up points.
