Liverpool Trio Dominate Fantasy Premier League’s Double Gameweek 24 Best XI
Three Liverpool players have been named in the best XI for Double Gameweek 24 (DGW24) of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL). Mohamed Salah (£13.7m), Cody Gakpo (£7.6m), and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m) have all been selected for the Reds’ two matches against AFC Bournemouth and Everton.
Gakpo has been the most-bought player ahead of the Saturday’s 11:00 GMT deadline, with over 668,000 new owners. Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold has been the most-bought defender, with more than 172,000 transfers in.
The trio have been placed in a 3-4-3 formation, with Salah named as the captain and Gakpo as the vice-captain.
The Best XI for DGW24
Jordan Pickford (Everton) £5.1m
Everton’s No 1 goalkeeper is the most-bought player in DGW24 due to his two home matches against Leicester City and Liverpool. Over 187,000 Fantasy managers have brought in Pickford, whose 95 points this season are 22 more than any of his teammates.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) £7.3m
The Liverpool right-back’s impressive away form suggests he could rival Salah and Gakpo for big returns in DGW24. Alexander-Arnold has amassed 28 points across his last three away matches, combining a goal, an assist, two clean sheets, and five bonus points.
Lewis Hall (Newcastle) £5.1m
Newcastle’s left-back has been in fine home form, producing attacking or defensive returns in each of his last four outings at St James’ Park. Hall has collected 31 points thanks to three assists, three clean sheets, and three bonus points.
Nikola Milenkovic (Nottingham Forest) £4.8m
The Nottingham Forest center-back has helped his team keep nine clean sheets this season, tied for the most with Liverpool. Milenkovic also poses a significant aerial threat from set-pieces, with 17 headed shots, the most of any defender in the 2024/25 FPL season.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) £13.7m
A massive 621,000+ Fantasy managers have their Triple Captain chip active for DGW24, making it one of the top 10 Gameweeks of all time for the use of this chip. Most are expected to play it on Salah, whose four highest scores this season (21, 18, 17, and 16 points) were all produced in away matches.
Cole Palmer (Chelsea) £11.3m
Chelsea’s playmaker will look to recover from back-to-back blanks when his team hosts West Ham United at Stamford Bridge. Palmer is the second-highest scoring player in home matches this season, with 90 points, just behind Salah’s 95.
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) £7.8m
Brentford’s talisman is the third-highest scoring player in home matches in 2024/25, with nine goals, two assists, and 88 points. The Bees welcome a Tottenham Hotspur side who have lost their last four Premier League matches.
Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest) £5.3m
The Nottingham Forest winger has blanked only once across his last four home matches, thanks to his all-round attacking potential. Elanga has two goals, an assist, and 26 points over those encounters.
Alexander Isak (Newcastle) £9.5m
Newcastle’s Swedish striker has failed to score in just one of the last 10 Gameweeks. Isak has delivered five of his six double-figure scores this season in that spell, suggesting he can produce another big haul at home against Fulham.
Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) £7.6m
The Dutch midfielder has started each of Liverpool’s last 11 league matches since Gameweek 12. Gakpo has produced seven goals and two assists over that run, totaling 65 points, second only to Salah’s 115 among Liverpool players.
Iliman Ndiaye (Everton) £5.1m
The Senegalese midfielder is Everton’s most-bought player for DGW24, with over 262,000 Fantasy managers bringing him in. Ndiaye has scored in each of the last two Gameweeks and is the Toffees’ top-scoring player since David Moyes returned as manager, collecting 17 points across the last three Gameweeks.
With a strong lineup featuring Liverpool’s attacking stars, FPL managers will be hoping for big returns in this crucial double Gameweek. Make sure to get your transfers in before the Saturday 11:00 GMT deadline to maximize your points potential.
