Double Gameweek 24 FPL Tips From FPL Salah – A Look Ahead With Liverpool and Everton Having Two Fixtures At The Start Of February
Earlier this week it was announced that Liverpool and Everton’s postponed fixture from Gameweek 15 will be played on Wednesday the 12th of February.
This means that it falls into Gameweek 24, therefore both Merseyside teams will have a double gameweek.
Liverpool will play Bournemouth (A) and Everton (A) and David Moyes’ side will host Leicester City (H) and Liverpool (H).
We really need to start planning for this now and here I will present the best players to target from each side.
Liverpool FPL Tips: Mo Salah a ‘Must-Have’ For Liverpool’s Double Gameweek 24
I wont talk too much about Mohamed Salah (£13.7m) as he should be a given and needless to say he is pretty much essential for Double Gameweek 24.
You should even look to play your Triple Captain chip on him if you still have it.
I don’t really fancy any other attackers to be honest due to the rotation risk but if you are really keen then Cody Gakpo (£7.4m) would be my pick.
He has started the last nine games and has cemented himself as a first team regular – although this doesn’t make him immune to rotation during busy fixture schedules.
In the last eight the Dutchman has five goals and one assist and has been one Arne Slot’s best players.
In defence I still think Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) is the best defensive option and to be honest I would be more inclined to double up in defence than in attack.
Liverpool have conceded the second least goals (20) and have the best expected goals conceded (xGC; 18.0) in the league.
They will keep plenty of clean sheets this season. I really like the look of Ibrahima Konate (£5.1m) to partner Trent in defence. He is £1.3m cheaper than Virgil Van Dijk (£6.4m) and is also nailed to start.
The Frenchman also has one goal and one assist – the same as his fellow centre-back so has some attacking threat too.
If you don’t have space in defence, then Alisson (£5.4m) is a good shout too and a good long term option.
All things considered, my top three picks for Liverpool would be Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Konate.
Everton FPL Tips: ‘Save’ Some Money For Pickford Ahead Of Everton’s Double Gameweek 24
We don’t know how Everton will perform under David Moyes and only time will tell.
Sean Dyche was an extremely defensive manager and although I don’t think the Toffees will be as compact at the back I doubt there will be a huge fall off. I do think they will be more attacking in the final third which might mean a few of their attackers are viable options.
In defence Vitalii Mykolenko (£4.3m) looks great value at his price and should be easy enough to acquire for most.
He will likely be your fourth or fifth defender so can be kept long term also and played in the easier fixtures.
The Ukrainian is also a full-back and might well get more freedom to attack down the wing under Moyes.
Jordan Pickford (£5.0m) also looks like a good option. He is the second highest scoring goalkeeper in the game right now.
Everton have kept seven clean sheets (third most) and will keep a fair few more until the end of the season also.
Pickford has also made the fifth most saves (61). Going forward I don’t really see many viable options.
Iliman Ndiaye (£5.4m) is a top player and has shown his class this season but he does play for a team who struggle to score goals. He may well shine under the new manager and will be the penalty taker
in Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s (£5.4m) absence.
Ndiaye has started every game in the league since Gameweek 3 so it’s safe to say he is nailed in the first team.
For me I would look to only get Mykolenko and Pickford from Everton but if you really want a third then go for Ndiaye if you have a slot available in your forward line.
