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.

    Bought Lingard 3 weeks ago. Going well.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yep same

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

        Ditto

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lingard = 2016/17 Josh King. Average player who went on a hot streak.

      Selling him for Walcott next week.

  2. Brosstan

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Pogba off... half the reason to get him is that hes supposedly nailed to play close to 90 every game. Switching to the City game then.

    Has Aguero been subbed yet ?

    I know you guys will most likely hate me but I'm fuming that I have 57 points right now.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      i dislike you greatly

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      57 points overall is terrible.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I know...
        Apzi - 1
        Alonso - 1
        Ramsey - 2
        Lingard - 2
        CM - 3

        Slackers.

        I hate Bournemouth for killing my backline CS.
        Love them as a team.

      Should be an infraction for posts like this.

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

        Some are being deleted but repeat offenders like this guy should be warned and more

        1. Zenith UK
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Eh? Repeat!? First time I've ever done this. And I'm genuinely fuming.

          1. Zenith UK
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            I appreciate everyone's frustrations this week for sure. Post legitimately wasn't a points brag. Was a frustration post at Chelsea backline ruining what I thought was a well picked GW.

            1. Pied Mee Ince Silva
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 2 months ago

              You could of made that comment without mentioning that you're on 57 points mate.

              1. Zenith UK
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 2 months ago

                I suppose, I'm new here. Been here for about 3 GWs. If that. Thought people would get the Chelsea frustration side of things and appreciate I tried to break the mould (Pope over DDG, brought in Vardy, captained KdB) instead of being angry. I've tried to be nothing but supportive.

                Apologies to the community.

    People actually own Lingard?

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

      Maybe the casuals. Doubt anyone on here does.

      1. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry accidental upvote. Plenty here own him.

      2. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Lots own him. He was template not so long ago.

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not for very long

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      Yup. Why you ask?

    4. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Gave me 28pts in 5 weeks before I jumped off

  6. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    surely lingard to walcott is fairly logical now right?

    1. sbuod
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No - for the exact same reason player x to Lingard wasn't logical a few weeks ago... one swallow doesn't make a Summer...

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

    Last time I owned that troll Hazard

  8. moz_1983
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Why does Jose continue to play Pogba so deep?! He's got Matic, Herrera and Fellaini to fill those damn roles.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly.

    Rough with the smooth is going to be a barrel of laughs in this week's Scoutcast.

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      What a disappointing GW. Midweek under the lights, live telly and high expectations, then...Courtois, Alonso, Mee, ...ahem...Jones, Mahrez, Sterling and (K)un. Even last chance saloon Brighton boys have disappointed yet again. Ota, Bobby and Salah my only scorers. Minileague lead wiped out again.

    why am I projected for a green arrow I don't deserve one

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Because Fpl is biding it's time and you will lose all those points soon enough

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        probably true given I don't own Aguero

  12. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Eriksen so close

  13. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    and I was debating back in GW19 whether to bring in Rooney or Wilson... didn't turn out well...

  14. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Crouch is my only hope

  15. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    City been poor in the final third, especially Sterling. Doesn't seem to be enjoying being on the left.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Will do, yep.

    2. F4L

    3. TorresMagic™

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

  22. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Walcott of course.

  24. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kane will definitely not get his 100th goal tonight

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Should have had one there.

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

    DDG save point

    Kane pass back

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Tbf that was his 4th save (after the Davies shot).
