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.

    Ivan assist no? Goal keeper punched the ball out from his header for the goal?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. Rules say:

      If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.

      So no assist.

  2. Woy
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Wow, 20 pts yesterday, 41 tonight.

    Gotta be a green!

    Cheers kun,Adm,Silva,Clyne,Terry,Haz

        11 years, 8 months ago

        Wow, fair play!

  3. Black Knights
    11 years, 8 months ago

    So at least after all that, I took out Moses for Sanchez, instead of Silva or ADM. Much better night tonight.

  4. Nice to Finally Michu
    11 years, 8 months ago

    di Maria to get any BPS?

    1. Black Knights
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Nope.

    2. PGR
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Not after his booking 🙁

    3. The Suspended One

      Lost 1 with the yellow

  5. Game of Stones
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Clyne on BAPS again 🙁

    1. Pinturicchio
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I think he's the only player in my team I've had since GW1. Maybe him and Hazard?

  6. SW6
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Owen picks defensive mid as motm shocker.

  7. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Clyne and BAPs!

    1. Lucy.
      11 years, 8 months ago

      The silver lining on a tormenting night.

    2. Yome
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I benched him

  8. Back on the horse
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Well done CLyne and Zouma, you have kept me in it

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    11 years, 8 months ago

    How is that not an ivan assist 👿

    1. Mull
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Because rules.

    2. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Rules say:

      If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded.

      So no assist.

      1. Black Knights
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Haven't seen the goal, but ADM got one for hitting it at the keeper and it came back out to Falcao. Was it not like that?

      2. Whazza
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Rebounds are assists

        1. Ice
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Wasn't a rebound it was a punch and William volleyed it which took a deflection.....know your facts before posting.

          1. Black Knights
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers for clarifying!

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Bright side is he should get a retro ban.

      1. Black Knights
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Was it bad? That would mean carnage around here!

    4. Ice
      11 years, 8 months ago

      It's so obvious.

  10. Feanor
    11 years, 8 months ago

    0 points from Fabregas and Giroud thanks to yellow cards. Undisciplined wankers can't get thru 20 minutes without doing something dumb.

    1. mitro
      11 years, 8 months ago

      you should watch giroud's yc

      1. The Farke Side Gallery
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Someone should, cause the ref wasn't

    Third time this season, I win a cup tie by one point. And also I have won two tiebreakers.

    COME ON YOU IRONS!!!

    IRONS! IRONS! IRONS!!!

      Well played Doos. 🙂

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

        11 years, 8 months ago

        Three trouser night.

        We were very lucky.

        1. Lucy.
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Or unlucky that Adrian got in such a mess?

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Well ... maybe.

    2. Black Knights
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Great result.

    3. Woy
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Damn they grinded that point. Fair play.

      Wish saints took the oppertunity of the win

    4. Jimbo123

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 8 months ago

        I didn't think Southampton offered much of a threat to be fair. I thought we looked quite comfortable even with 10 men.

        1. Lucy.
          11 years, 8 months ago

          Really? You were absolutely camped. We could have squeezed in a scrappy goal.

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 8 months ago

            I think that Rorke's Drift sums it up a bit better.

            1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              11 years, 8 months ago

              Well, we won that one.

              1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                11 years, 8 months ago

                Nobody won at Rorke's Drift. Just a lot of dead people.

          2. FortunesAlwaysHiding
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, I thought we looked alright!

      2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

        😀 o/5

    5. Guy Demel's SH
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Heart is still going but well happy with that point!

      Lets face it, an Adrian clanger was going to come sooner or later!

      Kouyate an absolute rock back there.

      COYI 😀

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Your heart is going? Think of this poor old codger!!! 😀

    6. FionnMac
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Very happy with that. Bundle of nerves for most of the second half!

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

        11 years, 8 months ago

        Moi aussi. 🙂

  14. Red Star Toro
    11 years, 8 months ago

    If WBA lose their CS i'll be happy

    1. Ludo
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Most had Wisdom or Baird - Foster owners the only ones benefitting, as Lescott/McAuley/Dawson ownership is very low.

    2. Black Knights
      11 years, 8 months ago

      This!

  15. Strawberry Jelavic
    11 years, 8 months ago

    My bench consists of Berahino, Haidara and Trippier.... And I got rid of Ings!! Oh and Fab came on to keep Berahino on bench, and he got a yellow card hahaha

    1. Whazza
      11 years, 8 months ago

      cool story bro

  16. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 8 months ago

    I am preparing the longest moan ever tonight. Stay tuned.

    1. Back on the horse
      11 years, 8 months ago

      maybe you could do it on a separate youtube channel or something?

  17. RabMac
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Started GW at 1265 and scored 62. Is this a green or red?

    I would imagine most of us captained either Hazard or Sanchez this week.

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Red, obviously.

      1. stephenl15
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        seriously?

    2. Viper

      Average in the top 1k is 56

    3. ILOVEBAPS

      Green for sure.

      1. RabMac
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks 😀

    Clyne 4 points more than Fonte 😯 .. bloody 'ell.. should have spent the 0.1 more! that's 2 weeks of Clyne baps and nothing for Fonte and i though fonte was the baps magnet

    1. PGR
      11 years, 8 months ago

      That's what they said about Azpi and Terry. Cost me my ML choosing Azpi ahead of Terry. Easily a 40 point swing in December.

  19. Granville

    Benching Zouma and playing PvA seals that gameweek as a bit of a disaster. Makes it worse when there's a long gap between gameweeks

    1. The 12th Man
      11 years, 8 months ago

      I benched Terry and played Bellerin and PVA over him., doh

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling, Baines and Walters have worked together to get Zouma and Lescott of my bench this week. Cracking group of lads, sterling performances.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        11 years, 8 months ago

        Last gameweek I had the audacity to get Defoe off the bench. Was never going to happen again with Zouma despite Fabs not starting.

  20. Viper
    11 years, 8 months ago

    46 points. All out & including bps..

    Uh-Oh!!

    1. Jump in Micah
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Snap

    2. Ice
      11 years, 8 months ago

      That's a good score this week....

    3. The Suspended One

  22. Demí
    11 years, 8 months ago

    United now back 2 points ahead of Saints and Arsenal in 3rd. 5 clear of Spurs, 6 clear of Liverpool.

    Top 4 looking good

    1. Punty
      11 years, 8 months ago

      5 clear of Liverpool and have to go to Anfield

      1. Demí
        11 years, 8 months ago

        6*

        1. Punty
          11 years, 8 months ago

          47-42 ..unless you count goal difference which can change

          1. Demí
            11 years, 8 months ago

            Ah yeah, my bad. We'll win at Anfield

    2. Pinturicchio
      11 years, 8 months ago

      The jammiest team in the league.

    3. Back on the horse
      11 years, 8 months ago

      It's amazing, considering how bad they seem

  23. Mull
    11 years, 8 months ago

    @Doosra
    Is there any prize for winning your cup?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Yup, along similiar lines as previous years. Exact details to be confirmed.

  24. Jazz!
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Wisdom out? If so, for who?

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Bellring.

      1. Delhidynamo
        11 years, 8 months ago

  26. RÏɠBY
    11 years, 8 months ago

    thanks fab for the YC cameo.. just lost out on bruce's 6pts 🙁

  27. DaveBensonPhilips
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Yet another gameweek of naff decisions. I'd have been 24 points better off had I not made my transfers this week. I never learn.

    1. Le Limpar
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Same. But then you're just as likely to miss out on points by being over cautious and not making a move... If you see what I mean. Look on here and you see what could have been posts in equal measure from moves and not making moves.

  28. Delhidynamo
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Lol suddenly i have a lot of issues in my team. Who to address first?

    A)Jones
    B)Baird
    C)Coutinho

    1. Delhidynamo
      11 years, 8 months ago

      2 FTs and 0 ITB btw

  29. SW6
    11 years, 8 months ago

    Fraser Forster is my favourite FPL GK ever. Had him since GW2. Steady points all season.

      Try being a supporter of his team. He's got some bizarre errors up his sleeve.

      1. Guy Demel's SH
        11 years, 8 months ago

        I noticed this when reading the saintsweb forum, your fans seem to think he'll make a few big mistakes by the end of the season.

        He didn't really have a chance to make a mistake tonight though:lol:

    3. RÏɠBY
      11 years, 8 months ago

      now you tell us 😉

    4. Would an idiot do that?
      11 years, 8 months ago

      Fabianski for me, nice to not have to worry
