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

    Southampton rot has begun. Koeman is clueless.

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

      Not if you own SoT defender like me hahaha. You need to play them although

    2. mitro

      how about lvg

      1. Not Irish

        11 years, 2 months ago

        LvG no better no worse

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

      😆 You're such a fickle football fan. Koeman has taken a team which many many pundits predicted for relegation and turned them into a very very decent team. He's evidently not clueless.

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

        And we're the best defence in the league.

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

        He's joking.

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          I'm not. Been predicting it since their horror January window.

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

            See what I mean Mull? This guy's full of rubbish. He still can't praise Koeman's achievements.

            1. Not Irish
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 2 months ago

              Are achievements handed out midseason?

              You just don't want to admit that your club's success left with the DOF, Poch and the head of scouting who have all gone in the past 18 months.

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

                Yes. We won't come anywhere near close to relegation - surpassing pre-season expectations if the pundits were anything to go by. I think if things go badly, we finish 7th. Still better than last season's finish. We need to average less than a point a game to out strip last season's points score and we have 12 clean sheets so far. This was after we finished the summer in profit.

                1. Not Irish
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 2 months ago

                  Which is fine. But that success was built on those who are no longer with the club. Yet Koeman gets all the plaudits which is just silly.

                  I'm actually quite fond of your club. But Koeman is a shambles who is well on his way to ruining everything you had going for you.

                  1. Not Irish
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 2 months ago

                    *built by

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

                    He rebuilt an entire squad. Don't talk rubbish. He's wanted by Barcelona for a reason.

                    You're in a pathetic minority:

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

    Took a 12 point hit, still ended on 52. I can live with that. Silver lining being I no longer have Wisdom and Oscar to worry about.

    1. ILOVEBAPS

        I added 20 today I think (forgot what I had yesterday), hoping it means a tiny green from 101k..

        while I don't have them to worry about, I do have 3 Arsenal mids now though 😆

  14. Bubz

    48 Points including BAPS. Fantasy Football Fix says I will drop 3k places.

    Mistakes I made -

    Silva -> Sanchez (C)

    Play PVA ahead of Clyne despite having Pantillimon.

    I would have captained Hazard for sure.

    I would have around 60 points ðŸ™

      keep him till the weekend and if they have DGW in 28 bench in 27 giving you an extra DGWer. That is is you have two playing keepers?

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        But I don't have two playing keepers…

  24. Burd Turglars
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Can anyone who watched the Utd game tell us how ADM played?

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

      Ok in the last 20 minutes when Burnley were pushing for goal (counter-attack), as bad as most other united-players from 0-70

    2. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Should've been better

      Had a few huge chances at goal towards the end and should've put one away

      I'd keep him in your side

      1. Burd Turglars

    Is anyone here not planning on making a transfer in the next GW? I can't see how anyone could have dodged the minefield.

    1. SW6
