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
      • 17 Years

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

        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!

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

      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.

    Did Jay Egdorf sell Eriksen for a 4 point hit this week?

    Christensen - the gift that just keeps giving (non owner 😉 )

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years

      Haha, harsh.

  8. Dosh
    • 12 Years

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

  9. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Rudiger on before 30'

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      **** ML leader has him.

  10. Sims

    Christensen makes Jones look like azpilicueta

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

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

  11. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Barkley has not been good so far

  12. Hazz

    Christensen owners.... What did you do to deserve this?!

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years

      I smiled when Alonso went off early that one time, karma

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years

      Kolasinac injury kinda gave me no choice to get him in, oh god how awful he's been

  13. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They need an entirely new back four.

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…

  18. FantasyFootballSprout
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 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)
      8 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Put down ? Behave yourself

  19. LǝgleSs e|even

    There we go, Walcott bandwagon incoming.

  20. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

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

    2. Fred54

    What happened to Christensen this time?! 😀 I think I'll finally get rid now 😀

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years

      Hammer time.

    2. Duke Silver ☑

    3. Ghost Gooner

      Hammy due to the lack of gametime 😆

    4. Gaffers
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Might just be a tweak and precautionary withdrawal. You'll be kicking yourself if you miss his one pointer next week.

    This Christensen nonsense cannot be real.
