Wednesday evening brings another six Premier League matches our way as Gameweek 25 comes to its conclusion. Four of those fixtures get underway at 7.45pm, with league leaders Chelsea looking to strengthen their position at the summit as Everton roll up to the Bridge.

The Blues have conceded just once in their last six home matches and have dropped just two points in front of their own fans this season, with Branislav Ivanovic and Eden Hazard looking to continue the form that sees the duo sit at the top of the defender and midfielder rankings respectively in the Fantasy Premier league (FPL) game.

United have failed to convince in recent matches yet sit just one point off third spot. The fact that David de Gea is their top-scoring player in the FPL game highlights the lack of legitimate options amongst Louis van Gaal’s squad ahead of a home clash with Burnley, though with 15% and 18% ownership respectively, Angel di Maria and Wayne Rooney remain in many managers’ plans.

Southampton and West Ham go head-to-head at St Mary’s, with Sadio Mane’s new owners looking for a big performance. Having scored in each of his last four starts, the wide man was acquired by over 32,000 FPL managers prior to yesterday’s deadline. With the Hammers still hampered by a number of injury concerns, Ronald Koeman’s side will be looking to improve upon a defensive record that has seen them concede in four of their last six at St Mary’s.

Champions City head to the Britannia with Sergio Aguero in worrying form. Without a goal in his last four league outings, the Argentine has failed to convince without Yaya Toure on board, whilst last week’s shift to 4-4-2 has David Silva owners thinking twice after he was moved out wide.

At 8pm, Alan Pardew looks to get one over former club Newcastle at Selhurst Park. After raking in the points in their first two under the new man in charge, Dwight Gayle and Jason Puncheon have blanked in each of the last two, whilst Jack Colback rolls up as the Magpies’ form player after producing three goals and two assists in his last six outings.

The final match of the Gameweek sees West Brom entertain Swansea at the Hawthorns. Faith in Tony Pulis’ defence has slipped in recent matches, with Andre Wisdom owners preparing to bail out if he’s benched again. With Gylfi Sigurdsson serving the last of a three-match suspension and Wilfried Bony off to City, Garry Monk’s side may struggle to improve a record that’s seen them fail to score more than once in the last ten Gameweeks.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      what are you talking about? It's not like he has been bad? He is the most consistent MID and with Cuardado in lineup he will benefit even more 😉

      Tune in and watch the game, then you`ll be instantly convinced why owning no United players at all is what you should be doing.

  14. threeputt

    So just musing a scenario at half time. Keeper pushes penalty onto the post and it rebounds off him into the goal. 5pts for a penalty save less 2pts for an own goal ?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds right. 😆

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years

      Probably just the OG

  15. Jeremiah
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Why was the Aguero goal disallowed?

    No handball and don't think it was offside?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not seen it, but he was booked for the handballl.

    2. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He scored a goal using his hand.

      1. Jeremiah
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Watching on stream and he didn't appear to have handled it.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Maybe you should find a better quality source, because that was certainly handball.

    Burnley had 10 attempts on goal in that first half, compared to Burnley's three. The scoreline doesn't reflect it though.
