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.

      Is it safe to bring in Wally? Can he play against Arsenal or will he be red-flagged?

      Shame for that late Kun goal, but at least I've got Walcott with his 15 points.

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

      yes Arnie>Jwp paid off. Assist and max baps I think

      Would not like to be a WBA fan. Bottom. Leap frogged by rampant Swans. Cherries firing. Stoke cleaning up. BHA and Huddersfield look great value. Going to be a very tense end of the season for the bottom 7-8 teams.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years

        The WBA contingent at work tell me that there next batch of fixtures are nearly all 6 pointers.

      Turns out Sterling would have been the best captain choice then

    • Foozeball

      8 years, 2 months ago

      Welp was going to get Pogba (C) for the hudds game, but based on today that would probably be an awful idea

    • Sims
      • 9 Years

      Kane to aguero 2 points better off but 1 less transfer

        What's the working behind this one?

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

          Would have captained salah otherwise

            So you are worse off?

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

              It's 20 vs 18

                8 years, 2 months ago

                Include the hit.

                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 2 months ago

                  It was for free

                  Took the hit to remove arnie for mahrez

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

          Presumably had 1FT and made 2 transfers to get him in. The other player on the bench?

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

            I'm wrong

    • Lukakuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      What do we think about Mahrez now? Will he be motivated for the weekend?

    • Colonel Shoe 肝池

      wally n choupo -4 paid off ok

      DISGUSTING gameweek

    • FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      This was such a bad gameweek. Not checking my team, points or rank before next gameweek hopefully. Get it off my screen and let’s move on

    • Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Oh yes aguerrroooo saved my gw
      Sterling is the gift that keeps on giving .. got him for 7.9 ... never had the balls to captain him

      Still ruing not getting kdb this week

    • ooooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Got 2FT. DCL to Wilson?

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Always captain Salah 😉

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        or sterling at home

    • Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      50 points for me. think that's about average this week. Hows everyone doing?

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

        60.

      2. Jolly Good
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Jumped from 30 to 43 from that kun + Sterling at 89’

    • Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Would have gained two points if I had gotten Aguero for Kane because I would have always captained him.

      In the end I didn't go for it and got 16 points from Salah plus 2 points from Kane for 18 points

      Aguero captain 12 points plus Salah 8 for 20 points.

    • Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Guess which Bournemouth player's coming off my bench?

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

        Francis 😛

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

          Double his points!

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

            I guessed Wilson really 😉

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      KDB - 3
      Sterling & Fernandinho - 2

      Is how it should finish.

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

        Have u factored in the winning goal?

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

          FFS!
