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

  3. Ludo

    Actually, his top 10k ownership and captaincy add up to basically 100%. First goal in over two months, and we're already at the point where his points won't boost your rank unless you captain him...

    1. Black Knights

          • 14 Years
          11 years, 2 months ago

          It sounds delicious. I'd pop it on a scone.

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      At least it was a proper assist (I think?)

      Did you see the one sturridge got yesterday?

  11. SamH123
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero owners near/in top 10k, but no (c) are pretty much indifferent to what he does in my view

    Average ownership is about 100% (in 88% of teams, and captains in 12%)

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

      Took the (c) of alexis in the last 5 min and swapped to Kun! So happy for that!

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

      Kun (c) for me 🙂

    3. Davros
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      So 12% of top 10k don't have him but 10% captained him. Okay, so they should balance out if distributed evenly. Cool

      1. SamH123
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

        yeah exactly

  12. Ludo

    Magnificent Matic...

    1. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 14 Years

      He is class

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

    Starting to think Matic is the best player in the league

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

      this...

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

        but then theres yaya

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

          I actually think he's better more mobile, better in th air. Technically about the same, now I know you say yaya scores goals but a lot have been pens and free kicks.

    2. For Fuchs Sake

      Best defensive midfielder. Comparing positions os futile.

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

        Indeed

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

          No player in Europes top 5 leagues has made more interceptions than Coq, and no player in the PL has made more tackles, in 2015. 😉
