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.

    Getting rid of Christensen and benching Jones was my moment of genius this year 🙂

  10. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    This is the worst I've ever seen Matic and Pogba play.

    Hard to blame Jones for the pressure Matic and Pogba are putting him under.

  13. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    And now my rival will do Son to Theo thus copying another of my players. Odd way to chase a lead but strangely still annoying

      You should be happy then.

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

  16. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    That wasn't great, 100 on Kane's mind - he was shooting like this when the August curse was hanging over him

  17. Duke Silver ☑

    6. stachman
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      So why he isn't playing? 🙁 He just released Jones from bench for me -_-

    2. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No Jones? Lucky

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm

      • 10 Years

    6. markus808
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      This is my team, except I have Adrian with 2 points

    7. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      That show-off in midfield needs to go.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years

        Aye 🙂

  21. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    what's the lowest possible individual player's gameweek score? Triple captaining an own goal, YC/RC & penalty miss.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      if i remember well a sunderland player did that to me a few seasons ago, onw goal and red i think,

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Jones on for a -6 😮

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

      ... If he concedes like 4 more goals...plus RC?

  23. The HurriKane
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I did Arnie ----> Mahrez but for free and Obgonna will come in with 2 points, 2 points is not that bad. I don´t have Jones and didn´t take hits. Salah as C. Not a great GW but not that bad.

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Same.

      Pope and Ayew saving my GW this far.

      1. The HurriKane
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Great! I have Firmino with 8 points and for now 2 of my 3 defenders have CS, let´s see how it goes. Good luck mate!

  25. CloudSky
    • 9 Years

  26. Gooner97

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

  30. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years

    Gonna predict we don't see Lingard in the second half. Some times the game just passes you by...and it is doing...

    Herrera on for Lingard and Pogba further forward would be my move.
