Just two days after the previous Gameweek came to its conclusion, the domestic action rumbles on again as Fantasy managers brace themselves for another quick turnaround in fixtures. Gameweek 25 gets underway this evening with a quartet of matches to attract our attention, with Alexis Sanchez’ return for Arsenal at the top of many agendas.

After tasting defeat to bitter rivals Spurs at the weekend, the Gunners are looking for home comforts to bounce back immediately. Arsene Wenger’s side have won each of their last five at the Emirates and Sanchez, with four goals and as many assists in his last four home appearances, leads the way in this week’s Captain Poll, though Olivier Giroud owners have been dealt a blow after the Frenchman dropped to the bench.

Four of the bottom seven do battle in the other two 7.45pm matches. Hull will be buoyed by their battling draw away to City last time out, whilst visitors Villa will be looking to kick on after finally ending their six-match drought with a goal at home to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.

Sunderland will fancy their chances of getting one over QPR at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats kept chalked up a 2-0 win over Burnley in their last home match and with the likes of Charlie Austin sidelined through injury, Costel Pantilimon and Patrick van Aanholt’s owners will be confident of getting amongst the points. Jermain Defoe’s two goals and an assist in three for the Wearsiders has earned him almost 130,000 new owners as Gus Poyet’s side look to take advantage of their visitors’ injury-hit rearguard.

Liverpool and Spurs go head-to-head at Anfield in the evening’s only 8pm kick-off. Raheem Sterling has failed to recover from a knock, though Daniel Sturridge starts for the home side after a handful of recent sub appearances. For the unchanged visitors, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen tasked with breaching a backline that’s chalked up four straight shut-outs after the goalless draw at Goodison on Saturday evening.

    Chadli a brilliant examples of a hot & cold, chasing points transfer. Have had him twice this season and done nothing.

      Which points are you chasing?

      1. Sif
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 25 days ago

        Don't own him now, but he had a couple hot spells where I'm sure many jumped on only to be disappointed.

    The technique and precision in Balotellis finish there. It has to be up for goal of the month. If not season.

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 25 days ago

      Aye. A yard further from goal and it's in the stands. Amazing.

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 25 days ago

        Almost as good as Kuyts hat trick against you lot.

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 25 days ago

          Never as good as Berba's against yous though.

    2. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 25 days ago

      will probably be used in the trailer when they make Balo- the movie

    • 12 Years

    Can we change topic and talk about Spider-man appearing in the Marvel films? That is bloody incredible and I'm pretty excited for it.

    1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 25 days ago

      ?!? He's always been in the Marvel films.

      1. Tony Warner Fan Club
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 25 days ago

        He was in Sony films, as a stand alone. He's joining the Avengers universe of films.

      1. Tony Warner Fan Club
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 25 days ago

        He'll appear in Captain America 3: Civil War, before presumably playing a part in Avengers 3: Infinity Wars.

    My team is Harry Kane. I should just captain him every week (I didn't). Otherwise, I don't choose the right guys at the right time. Harry stays, Harry scores. I think he will out score my pix in gw27, too (extreme self deprecating sarcasm).

  16. Egg Fried Reus
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 25 days ago

    Without Kane I would have 5 points, still half my team played...

  17. liberalfamilia
