Gameweek 25’s main course serves up a half-dozen Premier League matches this Saturday afternoon. Scanning through the schedule, Tottenham Hotspur’s home encounter against Watford promises to be an intriguing contest for Fantasy managers.

Spurs boast the league’s form attack, having tallied two more goals (10), 20 more attempts (88), three more shots inside the box (46) and 12 more shots on target (33) than any outfit over the previous four Gameweeks. In addition, they proved to be the league’s most creative unit over that stretch, mustering 13 more key passes than second-best, Liverpool (52). As for the Hornets, they charted joint-bottom for goals (two) and joint-second-bottom for shots on target (11), which bodes well for the Lilywhites’ defensive prospects at White Hart Lane.

Liverpool endeavour to register their first home win in three outings when Sunderland roll up at Anfield. Although the Reds ranked joint-second for goals (eight) over the last four Gameweeks, their inconsistency was illuminated by the presence of two blanks. Indeed, their relative success on the attacking front was counteracted by a defence that placed joint-second for goals conceded (10). The Black Cats, meanwhile, converted 33 attempts into six goals, giving rise to the best shot accuracy (39.4%) and shot-conversion rate (18.2%) around the league.

Stoke City attempt to rebound from successive 3-0 losses when they lock horns with Everton at the Britannia Stadium. The Potters offered minimal threat in the final third over the previous four Gameweeks, posting three blanks and ranking in the bottom two for shots inside the box (17), big chances (three) and shot on target (11). They’re pitted against a Toffees squad that struggled for consistency, notching one win, one draw and two defeats in their quartet of fixtures. Indeed, the Merseysiders are yet to record two wins on the trot this term.

Elsewhere, Aston Villa are unbeaten in three home match-ups as they prepare to host a Norwich City team that shipped 14 goals in their previous four outings. In the wake of consecutive defeats, Newcastle United entertain West Bromwich Albion – who are winless in four matches – at St James’ Park. Finally, Swansea City and Crystal Palace do battle at the Liberty Stadium. The former avoided defeat in their previous trio of outings, while Palace have suffered five straight defeats.

  13. Exeter Gently
    10 years, 9 months ago

    There should be a "sad section" to FFS where people could write their tales of woe with fpl. But then again, it'd be inundated weekly because the house always wins.

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      10 years, 9 months ago

      I would get told off for spamming

  14. Huddersfield

    Would have had a pretty good week. If I didn't bench Mahrez. Cannot catch a break this season - But will keep trying!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Same
      Late change and played Ighalo instead

      Bugger

    2. Les Bleus
      10 years, 9 months ago

      For the love of God, people should stop benching Mahrez!

      1. fancy111
        10 years, 9 months ago

        He scored minimally for 7 weeks... I would have been ok missing out on today.

      2. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 9 months ago

        You have to try and make ground somehow, I thought there was an opportunity there. I bought Firmino and benched Mahrez. He scored and got an assist so still got points. You have to try things sometimes thats all. Back in the XI next week. But Alli benched then so same thing could happen again.

        1. Artorias
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Exactly this..firmino captain somewhat saving me this week.

  17. Mull
    10 years, 9 months ago

    UFPL score check.

    63 with Payet to play.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Some, but benched Mahrez

  18. BendtEffect
    10 years, 9 months ago

    a win for westham would be nice with payet to score/assist

    1. Exeter Gently
      10 years, 9 months ago

      great grav

  19. C_G

  20. Saniul

    There is no footballer I will ever detest as much as Alberto Moreno.

    1. KISSES
      10 years, 9 months ago

      This

  21. Beautiful Game
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Which is better to have from now till the end?

    Vardy + Huth + Schmeichel

    Or Vahrez + Huth?

    1. SANTACLAUS
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Vahrez huth

  22. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Mahrez benched Kane captained. Sigh.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Hard luck . Captaining Kane was clearly the right decision sometimes you are just unlucky

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        10 years, 9 months ago

        My team is just too strong as stupid as it sounds

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Same
          Just looking at next weeks bench

          Toby Huth Alli is scary

  23. Ayew Serious
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Need big games from Arsenal and West Ham

    Two double ups all I have left

    1. Slam
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Same here Ayew, same here.

      1. Ayew Serious
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Mine doesn't convince me tbh! Can't see too many points

        1. Slam
          10 years, 9 months ago

          It all depends on how West Ham start this game.
          I've got Ozil&Bellerin + Antonio&Payet

    2. Tossed
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Sanchez n Antonio will run riot hopefully

  24. Feanor
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Kane captain, Mahrez on the bench, but still got 42 with 3 to play.

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Same but 2 points worse off than yourself

  25. Exeter Gently
    10 years, 9 months ago

    moreno putting in a typical performance. glad i shifted when i did, he's the biggest c0ck tease of them all

  26. Jay_
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Transfers were :

    Dawson Firmino Lukaku > Daniels Sanchez(c) Vardy -8

    Even a Sanchez 15 pointer won't break me level

    1. Hakuna Juan Mata
      10 years, 9 months ago

      will never understand why people take -8 hits

  27. JÆKS ⭐
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Butland Hennessey
    Bellerin Simpson Cresswell MORENO Williams
    Ozil Mahrez Firmino Alli Payet
    Kane Aguero Ighalo

    Has to be Moreno who has to go there right? Gosh I hate him

  28. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Small green according to FFF. Despite not having Mahrez 🙂 but I need to get him back asap

  29. Del Griffith
    10 years, 9 months ago

    42 with Mahrez on bench, got to be happy with that but more points benched

  30. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    10 years, 9 months ago

    31 points with payet, ozil, koscielny & sanchez (c). should i be nervous? kane not scoring has killed my master plan. arghhh
