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.

    This is a promise to never bring Hazard in again this season.

    Alli to Hazard (-4) couldn’t really have gone worse considering I changed my mind from KDB at the last minute.

    Can't believe this fantasy doesn't have negative points for conceding a penalty. Lame.

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

      Yeah should be a -1

      1. 420king

    Anything of note happening at all in Stoke vs Watford game?

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

      First time in 65 years 31,000 spectators simultaneously fell asleep at the 3rd minute mark.

      They still haven't woken up.

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years

      A fan left early to catch a train home

  12. FlockofSeagulls

    I'm not captaining Salah next gw after watching this Spurs press I can tell you that much.

  13. Davido989

    Sanchez been shite, surprise..

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No.
      After Mikhi and Di Maria flops, it doesn't surprise me.
      He never played in a park-the-bus team before, even when losing 2-0.

      1. Bazzalona
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Di Maria was a tit. One tackle on him and he didn't want to know.

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

      Whole team has.

      And the opposition has been immense.

      Not sure how much you read into this for the upcoming HUD and NEW games though.

  17. Seminole

    What's the priority for the weekend:

    A) DCL > Ayew
    B) Son > Walcott
    C) Kenny > Chilwell

    Or 2 of the above for a hit?

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      B or C or both. Son is still playing

  18. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years

    For those watching the City game, how had Bernardo Silva looked?

  19. Rainer

    Sanchez sighting

  20. Jayv807
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I had cut an 84 point deficit in my ML to 2 points and thought I’d leap in front this week.

    Haz in for Eriksen and Choupo in for Arnie seemed solid and Kun captain when my ML rival didn’t own him at all was sure to pay off.

    My ML swapped out Rooney and Kenny for Wilson and Monreal, capped Salah and even started Daniels in defense against Chelsea.

    Must....not....rage transfer!!!!!
