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.

    1. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Had the assist for the Aguero handball which would've been an OG. Other chances too. Getting closer.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years

      Assisted Nasri for Milners goal.

    2. Chelskimagi

    Every time man city play and I go on here I hear about aguero being denied penalties. As an aguero owner it's very annoying

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      They'll be given when Kun is injured and Yaya is back.

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

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Twas the obvious choice.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Changed it to Sanchez at 11:29

  21. Jimbo123
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How are City and in particular Silva and Nasri playing?

    1. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nasri has an assist, Silva should have one.

      1. Jimbo123
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, but are they playing well / influencing the game ?

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Silva assisted Nasri 🙂

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Nasri assist, nothing for silva

  22. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    Hazard must be terrifying to face as a defender

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years

        1. Breadbin
          • 15 Years

          What was the question?

      3. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years

        Usually a good thing.

    John Stones is quality, can't wait until we buy him

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

      Just like what you did with the league title

        This comment is about 10 years too late, fyi

    2. Breadbin

      Posts like this help reaffirm my dislike of Chelsea.

  24. MBK 42

    Right, Che v Eve off, Wolf Hall on.

      +200

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

    How have Everton gone from being jokers in defence to 3 CS's in a row (including Liverpool) and 60 mins so far against Chelsea?....What happened?

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

      John stones

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

        Is that it...doing well then. Even to get to 60 mins is an achievement against Chelsea.

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years

      Confidence. Besic finding form. Players back from injury (namely Stones). McCarthy.

  26. FPL_DON

    Nightmare of a GW only got nine players playing (counting giroud)

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      13 here. Doubt I'm doing better.

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

        How many points you on? I'm just hanging onto the fact i have Kane and Aguero!

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I owned Milner for 4 or so GW's I must say. I saw the potential. But in FPL timing is everything

  28. Messiah Hazard

    BBC live text saying Everton have sometimes 10men in their own box. Has the "bus" changed hands?

  29. Give The Todd Some Love

    Literally all Lennon can do is run

  30. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Costa looks much younger when he's not playing, I guess because his face isn't all scrunched up and scowling.
