Gameweek 25 reaches a conclusion with Sunday’s programme, as we’re treated to two televised affairs to round things off. West Brom host Spurs in the lunchtime encounter, with Gareth Bale carrying the Fantasy football hopes for many as he looks to build on his midweek strike at Carrow Road. Later this afternoon, Man City will attempt to close the gap on United after their win at Craven Cottage. Roberto Mancini’s side take on Liverpool at the Etithad, with Fantasy managers scouting for double Gameweek assets as Brendan Rodgers’ side come under the microscope.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain so throughout the day to provide another option for those looking to express themselves over the course of the day’s games.

The team news from the Hawthorns finds the home side field both Shane Long and Romelu Lukaku for just the second time this season. Claudio Yacob makes a return from injury to start having returned to the bench in the week, while Steven Reid also gets the nod at right-back: Jerome Thomas and Billy Jones drop to the bench while George Thorne is out through injury. Visitors Spurs are unchanged from the starting XI which took on Norwich in the week; Lewis Holtby again starts on the bench, then, while Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Michael Dawson keep their starts in defence.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I thought my team name Jumpers4goalposts would be a fairly original name for my FPL team last year. It's a fast show reference...'Schoolboys in the park, jumpers for goalposts? Mmmm!'...but I've found two other teams in the top 10k with this team name...well at least it's a lucky one 🙂

    So if bale doesn't get at least 2 baps ( deserves 3) should we all make an official complaint about the ppi system. How on earth can u be penalised for shots that were on target but deflected wide??? The system is well and truly broke and I think we should push for the old way of awarding baps. Man of the match can not be measured statistically. It has to be personal opinion as only the human mind can truley appreciate the performance of a particular player in a game. This does in turn lead to minor disagreements but nothing on the scale of what has been happening lately
