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.

    If Mahrez moves to City, would you keep or sell?

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

      He isn’t going and sell sell sell

    Benched Wilson

    But also benched Jones so it slightly makes up for it.

    59 points here, hopefully secures a green arrow. That Aguero goal was annoying

  4. F4L

    Aguero just confirmed his POTM for January. Gratz

  5. Tazah

    what a weird week

  6. ooooo
    • 8 Years

    Would you do dcl to Wilson?

    1. Drosiah
      • 10 Years

      Yes

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Christensen finally covers Alonso!

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      With only 28 minutes played. Essential.

  8. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years

    So, exodus of Chelsea defenders, pending?

  9. FPL ZB

    The guy behind me in my ML bought in Aguero (c) and Fernandinho this week... ouch.

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

      Who would deliberately bring in Fernandinho!

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

        The worse thing about him is that he uses up a potentially valuable City spot. But his PPG is pretty good for his price

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

    Well plan was Eriksen > Sanchez for free

    🙄

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

      Yeah don't bother

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

        This

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

      Although you would hope for a reaction vs Hudd

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years

        This

  11. nevins84

    Ive had enough of Christensen... Been trolling me since i got him.. Woeful transfer...

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

      Same here. But who to swap with? Vvd?

  12. dark91
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Get Aguero or KDB as a double up with Sterling?

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

      KDB long term.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        KDB, Aguero will be in rotationville again soon

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

      KDB for more consistent returns & less rotation

  13. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Is Bernardo Silva nailed until Sane is back?

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

    Would you get rid of christensen?
    Rest of the defence is alonso otamendi mee ogbonna

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

      Depends on injury really - next two games are good but well I can feel your pain with him.

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

        Yes it's bad

    2. skriniar

  15. Ghost Gooner

    Worst thing about Larpote starting with a c/s is that he will be 6.0 minimum 🙁

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's 5.5

    2. Zilla

    Thoughts on this new city defender...nailed or no?

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

      He looked alright, wouldn’t say nailed though

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

    That Jones reverse haul and no mahrez really ruined the gw

      • 16 Years

      Christensen, Lingard, Hazard, Kane > Aké, Theo, Eriksen, Kun & you'd have had a good score this week

        Is this what I asked?

  21. Patch

    GW25: Kane to Kun

    GW26: Arnie to Walcott possibly

    GW27: Kun to Kane

    GW28: Ota to Ward

    GW29: Roll FT

    GW30: Richarlison and Lingard out

    GW31: Free Hit

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

      You really want to avoid Kane against the Pool and Arsenal defences only to get him back 2 weeks later? Keep an eye on Jesus returning too.

  23. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I'm buying Wilson, so I guess that's the moment for him to have his run of bad luck, underperformances and injuries right ?

    Previously bought Niasse & Depoitre for the 3rd striker spot so I'm kind of pessimist tbh.

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Pathetic attitude lad. What do you expect from such players?

      1. Aston-villain

      Couple of knocks to the ribs.

    1. Drosiah

    4. Crabwalk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      My wildcarded in starting back 4 netted me a combined total 0 points! 1 point from Scmeichel pushed my defence into the black though, so all not lost.

    5. shearer9
      • 9 Years

      Should I do Arnie to Shaqiri? Or is there a better option for 6.9? ThanksZ

      Problems with Mahrez, Christensen and Son(probably rotation risk now).

      Who to priortize first out?
