FPL Gameweek 25 Players to target.
As this gameweek offers two games for four clubs, we look at some of the players that you should target.
Goalkeepers:
Jordan Pickford (4.4): Everton will play twice in this gameweek. Sean Dyche’s side are usually strong defensively and likes to park the bus against the big teams. Pickford can make some saves and also collect a bonus or two.

Defenders:
Andrew Roberston (6.8): Liverpool’s left-back has five assists to his name this season. He has an attacking mindset and will offer his team a lot from the left side.
James Tarkowski (4.3): The Everton centre-back is a cheap option in the defence. He is also a threat on set pieces.
Max Kilman (4.4): The Wolves centre-back is another low-budget option for the team. His side will also play two matches in the gameweek 25.
Oleksandr Zinchenko (5.1): Arsenal’s left-back scored his first goal for the club in the last match. He is growing with confidence and is a good option for your FPL team.

Mo Salah (12.6): The Egyptian has accumulated 17 points in the last two game weeks. His side will play twice this weekend. He is their penalty taker and the main man in the attack.
Alex Iwobi (5.4): Everton’s Nigerian attacker is a cheap option in the midfield. He has scored a goal and has seven assists to his name this season. Iwobi will be a key member of the attack.
Cody Gakpo (7.8): Liverpool’s winter signing is likely to feature in both matches. He has scored a goal each in his last two matches.

Darwin Nunez (8.7): Another Liverpool player who can be a handy addition to the team in their Uruguayan. He has a goal and an assist in the last two matches. The striker will be hungry to add more to his tally.
