<h2><strong>Best FPL Players for Double Gameweek 25</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Ollie Watkins (£</strong><strong>8.9m) – Aston Villa</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Ipswich (H) and Liverpool (H)</strong></p>
<p>Ollie Watkins has 10 goals and five assists this season.</p>
<p>He was taken off at half-time against Wolves last gameweek with a muscle injury, but with almost a fortnight's rest he should be back for Gameweek 25.</p>
<p>Unai Emery stated in his latest press conference that he is hopeful that Watkins can return to training next week.</p>
<p>Aston Villa have a double gameweek against Ipswich and Liverpool at home.</p>
<p>Ipswich have conceded 47 goals (fourth-most) and also have the second worst xGC (expected goals conceded; 46.3) in the league so this is the money fixture.</p>
<p>A game against Liverpool is of course tough, but they are more than good enough to score against Arne Slot's team and they do have the home advantage.</p>
<p>Watkins hasn't been as reliable this season mostly due to his minutes.</p>
<p>Jhon Duran did begin to take some starts off him, but with him having moved to Saudi Arabian club Al Nasser, Watkins should be nailed again with a huge boost to his expected minutes.</p>
<p>Watkins is an all-round forward with both goals and assists in his locker, and he is at 68% to score at least one over the two games.</p>
<p>The England international is also the fourth highest predicted scoring player overall (8.8 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Cody Gakpo (£7.6m) - </strong><strong>Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Wolves (H) and Aston Villa (A)</strong></p>
<p>Cody Gakpo has established himself as a first team player under the new manager.</p>
<p>He has eight goals and four assists, and should get plenty more attacking returns this season.</p>
<p>Liverpool also have a double in Gameweek 25 - they welcome Wolves to Anfield and then have an away fixture to Villa.</p>
<p>The game against Wolves alone is worth owning Liverpool assets for, as they are facing one of the worst defences in the league.</p>
<p>They have conceded 52 goals (second most) with an xGC of 37.9 (sixth-worst).</p>
<p>Going forward, Liverpool are the best in the division, scoring the most goals (56) and have the best xG 53.61.</p>
<p>They should be good for at least four goals over the two games.</p>
<p>Gakpo is at 53% to score at any time over the two games, and he is also the second highest predicted scoring player overall (9.7 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.7m) - Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Wolves (H) and Aston Villa (A)</strong></p>
<p>Mohamed Salah is an absolute lock this gameweek, and the fact Liverpool have a double again means there is no debate regarding captaincy.</p>
<p>In isolation this is the best week to play your Triple Captain chip on the Egyptian, so if you still have the chip and don't have your Assistant Manager active then it's a no brainer to activate it.</p>
<p>Salah now has an incredible 21 goals and 13 assists with an xG of 17.44 (second) and an xA of 5.4.</p>
<p>Liverpool are also by far the favourites to score 2.5+ goals this week, and we know it's very likely Salah will play 90 minutes in both fixtures.</p>
<p>Salah is at 72% (first) to score at any time and another double digit haul looks certain.</p>
<p>He also has high assist threat and is on penalties, so has many avenues to points,</p>
<p>Salah is by far the highest predicted scoring player (15.5 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a>.</p>

<h3><strong>Morgan Rogers (£5.4m) – Aston Vila</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Ipswich (H) and Liverpool (H)</strong></p>
<p>Morgan Rogers has had a good season scoring six goals and five assists.</p>
<p>He has been great value for his price, and should be easy enough to acquire for most teams.</p>
<p>Only teammate Watkins as more goals than him in his team, and with a 34% Goal Involvement so far he is a fine asset.</p>
<p>This is a good double for Villa in terms of attack, and they should be good for a few goals.</p>
<p>At the moment Rogers is also good for minutes. He should be nailed to start both games and will likely get plenty of playing time.</p>
<p>He is at a healthy 37% to score at any time, and of course has the assist threat too.</p>
<p>Rogers is also seventh highest predicted scoring player (8.4 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_70654" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-70654" class="size-full wp-image-70654" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/FFStuffImage-2025-02-07T113154.407.jpg" alt="Morgan Rogers" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Virgil van Dijk (£5.0m) - </strong><strong>Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Wolves (H) and Aston Villa (A)</strong></p>
<p>Liverpool's double in Gameweek 25 is good from a defensive point too.</p>
<p>They are the best team in the league defensively, conceding the least goals (21) with an xGC of 20.4 (first).</p>
<p>Virgil van Dijk is absolutely nailed to start when fit, and there are very few players in the league as reliable.</p>
<p>Slot's side are at 47% to keep a clean sheet against Wolves and 30% against Villa, which means they are at 63% to keep at least one clean sheet (first).</p>
<p>Van Dijk has goal threat too and is a real danger at set-pieces. He already has one goal and assist, and also netted against Spurs in the Carabao Cup semi-final.</p>
<p>They should be good for at least one clean sheet, and the added attacking threat from Van Dijk makes him the best defensive option this week, with <strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.3m)</strong> an injury doubt.</p>
<p>The Dutchman is the highest predicted scoring defender (8.4 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></p>
