We take a break from the incessant transfer speculation to address the small matter of seven Premier League matches, bristling with a cast of major Fantasy assets.

Sergio Aguero is undoubtedly the leading man. Signed by over 310,000 managers as the top transfer target for Gameweek 25, he goes into his clash with West Bromwich Albion wearing the armband for 960,000, including fifty of the top 100 managers.

Fresh from a hat-trick and 17-point haul against Newcastle United last time out, Aguero will be expected to return and at least keep pace with Mohamed Salah’s 8-point score from Liverpool’s win at Huddersfield.

Harry Kane remains the most captained player in the Gameweek – with “ghostship” teams no doubt playing a part in that statistic.

Even so, Kane is a key figure as always, as he faces off with a Manchester United defence that have earned shut-outs in their previous four Gameweeks. Kane has just a single goal in six league outings against the Red Devils, though that strike arrived in the corresponding fixture last season.

Alexis Sanchez earns his United debut in opposition and, as expected, it’s Juan Mata who makes way in Jose Mourinho’s line-up. It remains to be seen if Sanchez is retained on the left flank, with Anthony Martial shifting to the right. Alternatively, the Chilean could deployed in the No 10 role, though Jesse Lingard starts and seems likely to be favoured in that position.

Meanwhile, at Stamford Bridge, Eden Hazard is yet another heavy-hitter in action. He claims just 128,000 Gameweek armbands and looks set to lead the attack for Chelsea against Bournemouth, with Pedro and Ross Barkley providing support flanking the Belgian.

Paul Lambert will go in search of a successive three points when Stoke City take on Watford at the bet 365 Stadium. From a Fantasy perspective, Shaqiri is the key asset on show. The Swiss playmaker claimed 145,000 new owners as the fourth most bought player ahead of Gameweek 25

Riyad Mahrez proved even more popular prior to Tuesday’s deadline, attracting over 154,000 new owners but, as expected, he is omitted from the Foxes line-up amid “intense” interest and numerous failed bids from Manchester City over the last 24-hours.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Pep is ruthless. SO SO SO glad I did switch from Ota to Stones.
    That being said I've been raving for Laporte for years. Don't understand why Utd / Arsenal didn't go in for him YEARS ago.

    Given signings over the past few days I am extremely tempted to play my wildcard now... fgs. lol

    So glad I went Vardy over Mahrez. Only caveat is if I'd gone Mahrez I would've picked up JAyew.

      Shouldn't be bench boosting in a week where we have mid-week games. You're always going to have players that are missing.

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years

      You bench boosted his week?
      During transfer window

    "Paul Merson is puzzled by Arsenal inability to sign a defender and believes they should have sold Alexandre Lacazette instead of Olivier Giroud."

    1. Rainer

      Stopped reading at Paul Merson.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Wish I could say the same

    2. Rik Waller

      Yeh but his tooth feel out once, so he's a good pundit

    3. Yome

      Sell Lacazette? Lol.
      They should have shown the door to Welbeck

  4. England23

    Is Simpson out due to lacking match fitness or is Amartey preferred?

    1. Zenith UK
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Most likely match-fitness (personal opinion).

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      mmh could be a bit of both

    3. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Amarty has done well, deserves to keep his place

    4. MTPockets
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Played against Peterborough so would guess the former. But don't really know.

  5. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years

    U can tell a fake post b cause if someone really scores at least three people will scream their name. If just one person posts it then it’s clear fake unless it’s a player no one owns

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Also helps if the game has kicked off

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Very clever boy 😛

    3. Fanta sea
      • 11 Years

      or you could just read BBC live text?

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        BBC text is like getting results by carrier pigeon

        1. Fanta sea
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          We do it for the text messages that get sent in. Some people can be savage ahaha

    4. Football Heaven
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Was joking because loads are asking for lingard g. They haven’t even kicked off yet

    5. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Fact the United game hasn't even started helps too.

    6. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You can tell it's fake because it always the same twits posting it

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Norwich fans

        1. Football Heaven

          Last season carried by a loan player, this season carried by a loan player

      2. Football Heaven

    7. THE Wild Rover

      OMG from Bemba is the most reliable

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        The only problem there is it could mean that they scored, missed, touched the ball or made a tackle

        1. THE Wild Rover
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Nope, he only ever says OMG for a goal

          1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            It's like a whole new world of understanding Bemba now, thanks! 😉

        2. Sims
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Omg from him means 100% goal

    8. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years

      ...and if they score before the game starts 😆

        My favourite reply to that tweet;
        "Probably sick knowing Laporte just took his place"

    6. Zenith UK
      • 10 Years

      Dropped.

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      mid week games so hard to tell if he'll play on the weekend. Sample size is too small but I hear Laporte will be 5.5 so it doesn't matter really.
