Diogo Jota (£8.3m) emerges as a sought-after gem in Fantasy Premier League, boasting five goals and three assists in the last six Gameweeks. As the most-bought midfielder ahead of the Saturday deadline, Jota's acquisition has surged to over 280,000 new owners, primarily for his enticing Double Gameweek 25 (DGW25) fixtures against Brentford and Luton Town.

Jota finds himself among the elite nine players with two matches, lined up in a 3-4-3 formation alongside Erling Haaland (£14.4m) as captain and Phil Foden (£8.0m) as vice-captain. The Triple Captain chip remains active for over half a million managers, with Haaland expected to be the prime recipient.

Mark Flekken (Brentford) stands as an intriguing budget option at £4.5m, despite facing formidable opponents Liverpool and Manchester City. His recent impressive performances, including 17 saves in two matches, highlight his potential to accrue points through saves alone.

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) presents an enticing defensive option at £6.4m, offering a rotation-free route into Liverpool's backline. With a threat at set-pieces and 23 shots in the box, Van Dijk promises attacking returns against Brentford and Luton.

Gabriel (Arsenal) emerges as a defensive powerhouse, amassing three double-figure hauls in seven Gameweeks. His combination of goals, assists, and clean sheets makes him a formidable asset against Burnley.

Alfie Doughty (Luton) showcases attacking potential as a wing-back, with one goal and six assists in his last nine outings. His 47 key passes this season highlight his creative influence for Luton.

Kevin De Bruyne (Man City) remains a reliable midfield option, despite recent substitute appearances. With attacking returns in all four matches, De Bruyne poses a strong alternative for the captaincy against Chelsea and Brentford.

Phil Foden (Man City) shines as Man City's top-scoring player at home, boasting 70 points at Etihad Stadium. His recent hat-trick against Brentford elevates his Fantasy stock, making him a formidable asset for DGW25.

Anthony Gordon (Newcastle) stands out for his home performances, boasting six goals, six assists, and 80 points at St James' Park. As Newcastle faces AFC Bournemouth, Gordon emerges as a promising pick for single fixture DGW25.

Erling Haaland (Man City) commands attention with his ownership exceeding 70% for DGW25, fueled by his recent brace against Everton.

Ivan Toney (Brentford) emerges as Brentford's talisman, tallying three goals and an assist since returning from suspension. His six big chances make him a compelling Fantasy option.

Darwin Nunez (Liverpool) impresses with his consistent attacking contributions, blanking only once in his last six appearances. Nunez's impressive statistics make him a standout choice in Salah's absence.
