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.

As for the all-important team news, Spurs are unchanged from Gameweek 24. That means Ivan Perisic and Son Heung-min both start on the bench again.

As for Chelsea, Graham Potter makes six changes to his first XI. In come Thiago Silva, Reece James, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Hakim Ziyech, Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz.

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

    T Silva out probably means him to Estupinian (-4)

      At least I certainly won't be losing top 10k because of this injury 😉

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Wow nice going especially at this stage!

  2. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So close

  3. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Has to be a corner, you can’t just play on then bring it back

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You can, for a few seconds..that's how advantage works

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly but he wanted to bring it back for the original foul despite playing the advantage out to its conclusion

  4. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Where Kepa save points? Where Kane goal?

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      All going to Ben Davies

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha

        Here’s hoping

  5. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How is that not a Richardson YC?? So weird

  6. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How come that wasn't yellow for Richa?!? I would have given it.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      English refs

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Derby game, letting a few go generally speaking

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Shouldn't really matter, not like it's for an accumulation of fouls or anything. It's a professional / tactical foul which is supposed to be a booking

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed, should of been a booking

  7. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane playing so deep, could maby assist the assister

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      more like Asssist the assist the assister

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Steady on

  8. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Oh dear Fofana down

  9. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane lucky to escape a YC

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Crooked refereeing:(

  10. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Both my boys fighting for no reason whatsoever, one of them gets booked soon

  11. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I think Spurs are owed a few yellow cards today...

  12. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kepa chalking up the completed passes...

  13. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kepa getting a YC later in the game to finish with 1 point. Just play the game and stop the clown act.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah this is definitely happening

  14. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What an awful game of football.
    The referees are partly to blame with allowing play acting and cynical fouls to be missed.

  15. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Havertz knocked Romero down. If we are not going to see cards, we shall see more injuries.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It was a coming together and im a spurs fan

  16. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Badiashile didn't even come on for T.Silva, do I get rid of ASAP?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would, there are dgw players to get, I am planning T Silva to Estupinian.

  17. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Get Son on, the Father is not the same without his Son!

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      And take who off?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Rich

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Come to think of it, I actually have no idea Richarlison was preferred to him this game!

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Because he's a shytehouse?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Got Hojbjerg for that

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You didn't notice last starting XI?!?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yes and I also noticed Son came on and bossed it

  18. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Richarlison is a load of rubbish

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Son loves playing Chelsea too! Conte lost it!

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is it me or has the quality of attacks for teams in the premier league got significantly worse?

    Can’t remember a time where so many teams are lacking quality up front

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The end of the traditional striker may have something to do with this. More teams trying to implement wingers but typically these don’t fit or are rubbish

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The issue is, they’re all paid so much they don’t care

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Too much I should say

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe, teams are very well organised defensively as well

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Plus the wingers are asked to do more defensive work. Even the forwards are now tracking back.

      Used to have put and out strikers like Defoe, fowler, shearer, aguero, Cole, van nistelrooy

  20. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    For it to be called the best league in the world, the refereeing level should at least be higher than the Somalian league!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Defending with fists allowed next

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He just did. Extremely poor.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Do they have pirates as refs?

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        VARgh

      2. Goro Majima
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        The man in Blackbeard

      3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe, but I am sure they do a better job than what these jokers do.

        1. Goro Majima
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          They have to - if they're poor they get hooked at half time.

  21. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez, Nkietah, Badiashile, only Toney from Brentford, no Brighton… Forcing me to reconsider WC27, FH 28, BB 29 or WC 26, BB 27, FH 28

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Think I may use my WC FH and BB soonish as well

  22. JBG

    3 years, 1 month ago

    The quality of football this weekend hasn't been good tbh... even City was kinda meh. Didn't watch West Ham v Forest.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      England v wales was also one of the worst games of rugby I’ve ever watched

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        France v Scotland and Newcastle v Man U today should be more entertaining

      2. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        NZ putting up a good fight against England in the second test though

        1. Sandy Ravage
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          about time too

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I actually fell asleep during the Liverpool game despite having 3 players involved

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That game was rubbish as well

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Unpopular opinion but city are boring to watch

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I agree.. most matches they play are boring. Unless they have to chase a score or are a goal down

  23. RUUD!

  25. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How only 3 mins of extra time? So many stoppages

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would you rather have Spurs on about 4 YCs?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No I’d sooner have the appropriate stoppage time added

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I don't want to watch anymore of this than I have to tbh

  26. Atimis

    Have WC, FH and BB. When would you WC?

      when you feel your team needs it

  27. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ziyech idiot

  28. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why would Ziyech do that right in front of the referee

  29. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Another bore fest of a match on sky.
