Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues at the slightly earlier time of 13:30 GMT on Sunday, as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to north London.

The Lilywhites ran out 2-0 winners over West Ham United last time out, while Chelsea’s poor form carried on in a 1-0 home defeat to Southampton.

This is the only Premier League match of the day, with Newcastle United and Manchester United doing battle in the EFL Cup final later.

Benoit Badiashile, Cesar Azpilicueta, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, Noni Madueke and David Datro Fofana are the ones who drop out.

    Rashford fell in price this GW as people sold him for Gakpo and the likes! Sellers might regret that

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Look at the transfers in, being brought back!

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Everyone playing seriously only sold him if they were doing WC26

        (Looks at GW transfers) Awkward…

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I’m getting him back soon, I promise!

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Hahaha WC26 mate. You'll be good 😉

            1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE

              2 years, 9 months ago

              Yer I’m thinking about it tbh. I’m way down low on OR so I might as well WC earlier than planned. FH28 and BB29 looking likely too.

              1. Zimo
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 9 months ago

                It's a good idea. Don't know why everyone is set on WC33. They'll have to muddle through so many weeks while everyone else gains rank. So many of the 29 doublers will double in 34 as well.

                  Thanks 🙂

                  I reckon people see end of season as classic chip time. But yer, as you say, potentially missing out on maximising the next few weeks.

  2. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Won't start Trippier against City

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He will assist one though

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Who's gonna score?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          "some body" by accident?!?

      2. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Last assist was GW17, bring back the 12 pointers pls Trips

      3. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Wilson goal?

  3. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Dalot is getting destroyed time after time.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They are apparently after a new RB. I'd love Dumfries.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      ASM will do that to ya

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      It's ASM

  4. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Longstaff trying to get Fred sent off

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Shameful tactics

      Wouldn’t expect any less from the rich Burnley

  5. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Are Newcastle a bust flush now ?

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I worry they dont have enough goals vs top teams

  6. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Trippier has been looking dangerous. Just thinking what Salah and Trent can do on that side. Looks like I won't sell Salah for Bruno.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      We always had Salah in our pockets even when we were absymal, once with 40 year old Ashley young vs prime Salah

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Yes, he only scored 5 goals against you last season in the league.

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Lol last season doesn't exist 🙂

  7. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Oooo Wouty boy shooting. Never seen that before 😮

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      First time since he scored that great one (on dgw) for me 🙂

  8. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Karius third save

    1. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Legend

  9. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Sabitzer ahead of McTominay?

  10. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Frenkie in alongside Casemiro would make Man U stronger title contenders next season, no? And/or do they need to improve elsewhere?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They need a top striker and a RB too imo.

      Maybe more depth out wide. If Rashford were injured I'm not sure Antony, Sancho or Garnacho are ready to take up the mantle.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Backup for Casemiro too...

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Yup important.

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      And bench Eriksen?

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Could always move into the 10, with Bruno RW

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Eriksen better player. They only need a striker in that first 11. And De Gea to not give away silly passes. Frenkie is a nice backup though.

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Backup players for Casemiro Eriksen Varane Dalot needed though.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah I can see Maguire moving on in the summer and a new CB signed.

          Plenty of clubs that would take Harry, I think he's suited to a back 3. Conte would want him.

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah plan should be to sell AWB McTominay Maguire VDB and get in replacements after the priority striker signing.

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              Bailly, Jones, Telles also need to be sold...

              I doubt anyone would pay Martial's wage...

              1. Zimo
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 9 months ago

                I forgot they even existed 😆

  11. AARON-1
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Weghorst did very well for Rashford's goal. His "donkey" tag is a tad unfair.

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Good team player just not a good striker

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Look at his actual goal returns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wout_Weghorst
        World doesn't revolve around Burnley for half a season.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Excellent pass tbf

    3. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hes shite

  12. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Haha Antony torturing Burn and Joelinton.

  13. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Antony is violating Dan Burn lol he didn’t have to go back and spin him a second time. The man has a family.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Never a thoght till now I realize I could use 5 changes

      Saddened

  17. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Luke Shaw is basically Kieran Trippier-lite now since Eriksens injury. Takes almost all the setpieces.

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      yep and a lot have sold him

    Botman OG. Good job he is on my bench!

  19. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    AWB on for Dalot. Smart change.

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Spiderlegs vs stepoverking

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, Dalot was worst player on the pitch and had a yc

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yes was worried

      Fred in the firing line too

    4. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Sensible choice

  20. Shultan
    • 9 Years

    So many empty seats in corporate section!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Food is too good at half time

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        the prawn sandwiches!

        they were sold as club Wembley seats like a debenture and in the full glaze of the cameras are often empty, guess the purchasers had better things to do.

        They should have said confirm by 5 days before kick off or it can be reallocated and sold on.

        .... but there was some actual cheering in there this time when the goals went in and Newcastle were having a bit of play.

  21. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Haven't watched the Chelsea game and still got Havertz in my team. My original plan was to give him the Leeds game and if Chelsea don't improve then move him to Toney.

    Should I rather do the move this week or any sings of improvement from Chelsea and Havertz?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
