We have reached an exciting point in the Fantasy Premier League calendar: the first double gameweek of the season.
Everton and Liverpool are the clubs playing twice and, rather inconveniently for FPL managers, their fixtures are separated by 10 days due to the domestic cups.
Liverpool play twice between their first game of the gameweek against Bournemouth and their second against Everton, which isn’t exactly ideal.
Nevertheless, that shouldn’t prevent anyone from targeting their players (or even managers) with their transfers.
From Saturday onwards, the shiny, new Assistant Manager chip becomes active, enabling you to snap up a Premier League boss for three gameweeks to earn additional points through wins, goals, clean sheets and more.
If you fancy using it this week, Arne Slot will set you back £1.5m and David Moyes a bargain £0.5m.
Here are this week’s tips ahead of Saturday’s 11am deadline:
FPL tips for Gameweek 24
- Jordan Pickford (Everton) – £5.1m
- Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) – £7.3m
- Leif Davis (Ipswich) – £4.4m
- James Tarkowski (Everton) – £4.8m
- Mo Salah (Liverpool) – £13.7m
- Cole Palmer (Chelsea) – £11.3m
- Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) – £7.8m
- Amad Diallo (Man Utd) – £5.6m
- Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) – £7.6m
- Illiman Ndiaye (Everton) – £5.5m
- Alexander Isak (Newcastle) – £9.5m
Goalkeeper
Jordan Pickford (Everton)
Second only to Matz Sels in the FPL goalkeeper charts, Jordan Pickford is an easy pick in goal this week for those looking to recruit a new shot-stopper.
England’s No 1 has kept eight clean sheets so far (only Sels has more) and has averaged 2.9 saves per game. In FPL, keepers earn an extra point for every three saves they make.
Price: £5.1m Points: 95 Gameweek 24 fixture(s): Leicester (h), Liverpool (h)
Defenders
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
The second-most productive defender in FPL this season (and only one point behind the first, Ola Aina) is a no-brainer selection this week given he has a double gameweek.
Trent Alexander-Arnold sits at the top of the charts for chances created among defenders this season (with 43) and big chances created (13) and has recorded assists in back-to-back games.
Price: £7.3m Points: 101 Gameweek 24 fixture(s): Bournemouth (a), Everton (a)
Leif Davis (Ipswich)
A slightly left-field pick considering he has just one clean sheet and no attacking returns in his last 13 appearances, but in a gameweek where most of the best defenders face strong attacks, Leif Davis’ fixture stands out.
Only Everton have scored fewer away goals than Southampton this season, while the division’s basement club have conceded 12 times from set-plays. Davis has taken more corners (63) than any other defender and is included on that basis.
Price: £4.4m Points: 47 Gameweek 24 fixture: Southampton (h)
James Tarkowski (Everton)
Vitaliy Mykolenko (£4.4m) is the Everton defender most in demand this week, but if your budget stretches further then James Tarkowski might be the better option.
The centre-back is yet to score this season, but is a magnet from corners and has missed two big chances from such situations.
Price: £4.8m Points: 69 Gameweek 24 fixture(s): Leicester (h), Liverpool (h)
Midfielders
Mo Salah (Liverpool)
Every active FPL manager will have Mo Salah in their team this week (good luck if you don’t), but the big consideration ahead of Saturday’s deadline is whether or not to triple captain him.
Generally speaking, the chip is best used for double gameweeks when there are twice as many fixtures as usual, and given Salah’s relentless points scoring he is the obvious candidate.

That being said, it’s a tricky pair of games against Bournemouth, who are bang in form, and Everton in the final Merseyside Derby, in the league, at Goodison Park.
If you are unconvinced by Salah’s prospects to go big in GW24, you could hold off until gameweeks 33 or 36 when there are expected to be more doubles.
Price: £13.7m Points: 222 Gameweek 24 fixture(s): Bournemouth (a), Everton (a)
Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
Some extremely popular FPL players are being sold this week as managers flock to Liverpool and Everton assets. Remarkably, Chris Wood tops the selling charts despite returning four goals and two assists in his last five games.
Cole Palmer is also up there which is bold from the sellers considering he plays at home against West Ham next. Palmer has scored 90 points in 11 home games this season (8.18 per match) and faces a defence that has conceded the fifth-most shots away from home.
Price: £11.3m Points: 167 Gameweek 24 fixture: West Ham (h)
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
Spurs have conceded 24 goals in their last 11 league fixtures; only three clubs have let in more in that period. Meanwhile, the Bees have scored more times at home (with 29) than any other Premier League club this campaign.
Bryan Mbeumo has directly contributed towards 11 of those goals (nine goals and two assists).
Now is a good time to invest in the midfielder with fixtures against West Ham (a), Leicester (a), Everton (h) and Aston Villa (h) coming up.
Price: £7.8m Points: 147 Gameweek 24 fixture: Spurs (h)
Amad Diallo (Man Utd)
An incredible 11-minute hat-trick against Southampton earlier this month demonstrated Amad Diallo’s potential to deliver big hauls in FPL.
Since Ruben Amorim’s appointment, Amad has produced three double-digit scores in 11 appearances.
A promising match-up against Crystal Palace allied to his bargain price tag makes the winger a great option this weekend.
Price: £5.6m Points: 105 Gameweek 24 fixture: Crystal Palace (h)
Forwards
Iliman Ndiaye (Everton)
Data often informs our selections on the grounds that players posting strong statistics are more likely to deliver FPL points. In that regard, Iliman Ndiaye’s inclusion is an anomaly.
The Senegalese has registered just three shots in as many games since Moyes took charge of Everton, a total that 19 other forwards in the game can better.
However, he has scored twice from those attempts, has two fixtures and is set to be on penalties with Dominic Calvert-Lewin expected to miss out through injury. Just no more seagull celebrations, please Iliman…
Price: £5.5m Points: 72 Gameweek 24 fixture(s): Leicester (h), Liverpool (h)
Alexander Isak (Newcastle)
Alexander Isak‘s goalscoring streak may have ended against Bournemouth in Gameweek 22, but it didn’t take him long to rediscover his golden touch as he netted twice in a win against Southampton last weekend.
Newcastle’s fixtures are starting to turn for the worse with matches against Manchester City (a), Nottingham Forest (h) and Liverpool (a) coming up after Fulham (h) on Saturday.
However, Isak’s capacity to score against anyone means he remains an essential pick.
Price: £9.5m Points: 150 Gameweek 24 fixture: Fulham (h)
Cody Gakpo (Liverpool)
Having three Liverpool assets feels essential this week, and while Alexander-Arnold and Salah will be lock-ins for most bosses, the third Liverpool space is up for grabs.
The three outstanding candidates (in The i Paper’s opinion) are three Dutchmen: Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Slot (which feels weird actually typing out).
Gakpo shades it due to his recent form. The forward has scored seven goals and provided two assists in his last 10 league games and has started 11 in a row. Since Gameweek 13, he is second only to Salah for FPL points among Liverpool assets.
Price: £7.6m Points: 87 Gameweek 24 fixture(s): Bournemouth (a), Everton (a)
