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.

    Must be horrendous to own Christensen

    1. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I honestly wouldnt still have him at this point. Plenty of opportunity and reason to get rid before now.

      1. TheRealDog
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Most people have other issues in their teams, and with good fixtures there's been a good reason to keep him. Illness, head injury, hamstring. Just incredibly unlucky. Everyone's had enough now though!

        • 12 Years

        There was no reason to get rid. He has been starting every game except 2 where he was unexpectedly ill.

    2. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
        7 years, 11 months ago

        He he played 90 minutes 31 out of 34 games in the Bundesliga last season (was out for 3 consecutive games with a strain).
        He ALSO played 90 minutes in 31 out of 34 games in 15/16 (and was on the bench for the remaining 3).
        What a shame.

      A moment's quiet contemplation for all despondent Christensen owners. If we don't laugh, we'll cry.

      Christensen nice enough to get injured on 28 minutes so that rudiger gets clean sheet points.

    10. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Rudiger on before 30'

        What’s even stranger is he isn’t very injury prone (from his last three years)

    12. FPL ZB

      Barkley has not been good so far

      Man Us team is so good now, they don’t have any big names in defence and they don’t have the depth like city do. But, Kaku, Sanchez, Martial, Pogba, Mata, DDG...

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        They need an entirely new back four.

        7 years, 11 months ago

        Honestly, I cannot believe Christensen!

        I’m an owner and the guy needs to be put down. What an absolute fairy on the pitch he is.

        1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
            7 years, 11 months ago

            He played 90 minutes 31/34 games last year (was out for 4 consecutive games)
            Just bad luck i guess.

          Christensen still gets more points than Bellerin, VVD or Stones. I don't know what owners are complaining about
