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.

    United is poor, really poor ... I don't know how they manage to keep themselves in top4 so far but with Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal on fire they have no chance at all 🙂

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi

      They still scrape wins. I guess £150 million on transfers will scrape you wins though.

    1. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      he is very attacking. Relatively expensive for a newcastle defender though.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Don't worry, arsenal will buy him in the summer

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

      Aye, but you'd have to play a Newcastle defender regularly to get the assists.

      We are really missing him if it makes you feel better

    Pelle instead of Kane in my wc was the worst decision in the history of FPL.

    1. Vardy Gras PBFC
      • 12 Years

  18. Demí
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Has Kane scored yet?

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

      No but he got the assist.

    2. Namtab Nomolos
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I should jettison the rest of them just to make sure i'm not tempted to captain anyone else.

    3. Lord Flashheart

  21. AlCapwnUK

    Counting eggs before they hatched and all...

    38 normally would be crap, but so far this gameweek it seems kind of ok?

  22. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Typical, my nearest rival owns Janmaat. Every bloody player comes up trumps for him each week

    1. alastair
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      If you are still near to him a few must have come up trumps for you

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I'm 20 odd points ahead of him thanks to Cazorla's super show against Villa a few weeks back.

        He seems to pick the one player who has a blinder each week whilst I just tick along

        1. alastair
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          But as you are ahead you are the one who has got it right

          1. Danstoke82
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            For now but he keeps chasing me!.

            Have cash riding on it lol

  23. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Would it be madness to bring Bertrand in a week early? Have the exact cash to do so for Wisdom, and have a strong enough xi to not need a starter (assuming Sanchez plays).

    Have 2FT to use

    1. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yea makes sense, Wisdom price will drop plummet and may price you out.

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

        😀 thanks

  24. ILOVEBAPS

    Cisse goal!!!! He can't stop scoring!!!

    1. ILOVEBAPS

      Jaanmat assist.

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Unbelievable that he has so few minutes...He's as good as Kane.

  25. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers

    Smalling on my bench in draft league and Baines playing - no substitutions.

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He should want to score more often if that's the case.
