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
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 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.

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

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

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

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

  6. SW6
    • 13 Years

    Owen picks defensive mid as motm shocker.

    How is that not an ivan assist 👿

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Because rules.

    2. the Penman

      Rules say:

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

        Rebounds are assists

        1. Ice
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 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
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers for clarifying!

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years

      Bright side is he should get a retro ban.

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

        Was it bad? That would mean carnage around here!

    4. Ice
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It's so obvious.

  10. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 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
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      you should watch giroud's yc

        Three trouser night.

        We were very lucky.

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

          Or unlucky that Adrian got in such a mess?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

            Well ... maybe.

    2. Black Knights

      Great result.

    3. Woy
      • 12 Years

      Damn they grinded that point. Fair play.

      Wish saints took the oppertunity of the win

        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.
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

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

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 2 months ago

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

            1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              Well, we won that one.

              1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 2 months ago

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

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

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

    2. Black Knights
      • 14 Years

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

  17. RabMac
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 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
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Red, obviously.

      1. stephenl15

    3. ILOVEBAPS

    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
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 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
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

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

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

    46 points. All out & including bps..

    Uh-Oh!!

          1. Demí
            • 15 Years

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

    2. Pinturicchio

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

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

    A)Jones

    C)Coutinho

        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:
