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.

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

GAMEWEEK 25 LINE-UPS

    OR#83's free hit bench is a thing of beauty 😀

      Jesus christ. Looks like Darwin is getting a cameo midweek then.

    2. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Someone should sen The Samaritans round. That is absolutely brutal.

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

      How do you find this sort of stuff lol

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Ranked no 83

    5. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Surprised used the FH chip. Could have dealt with the previous team with an FT or hit

      But then again my OR is 200K so what do I know?!

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Exact same points on his bench as he’s got in his starting 11

    6. fusen
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The incredible luck they've had all season finally ran out 😛

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

        Bench points aren't lost points.

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

    40 with 5 to go, not bad considering forgot deadline and have KdB, Shaw, Mitoma in my XI and Trippier/Rashford on bench!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      doing nothing was the play this week

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

        Depends on Pool second game I guess

  7. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best option to bring in this week?

    A) Estupinan
    B) Mee

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Both good options, got Toney?

  8. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What does ETH see in Wegworst?

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

      Injury free.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hard worker. Presses a lot. And can come off for a better faster player half time or second half.

    3. yousunkmybattleship

        Deserved upvote

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

    The Chelsea and Liverpool results have gone with recent form.

    It looks like those who swapped Kane to Darwin have burnt points the most...

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

      I also commuted slight seppuku bringing in James :mrgreen:
      (Didn't fancy buying Robbo, then selling straight away. Maybe keeping Shaw was the play :P)

  10. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Yeah, maybe I'll get Wilson instead of Felix in GW28

  11. Muller Reus Corner
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How's this for a wildcard draft? 0.1 ITB
    Raya, Ward
    Tripper, Shaw, Estupinan, White, Henry
    Saka, Maddison, Odegaard, Rashford, Mitoma
    Kane, Toney, Haaland

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good, yeah

      That's my exact attack for GW26, and what I'd get if on a WC as well

      Defence is a bit less straightforward, and might depend on what happens in the Cup. Still looks good though, and I see the funds restriction that led to Ward

      Got BB plans, or already played it?

      1. Muller Reus Corner
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I am considering BB in GW29.

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

    Exact funds to do Paterson > Estupinan….so it yes or no?

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      After FA Cup games, yeah

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    4. Kane and Ablett
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes after the cup of you have the willpower , just keep an eye on Patterson dropping at some point before the deadline

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yes keeping a close eye. He’s 97% or thereabouts I think

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

    Harry watch out. Oliver is on your heels

  14. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    That late Kane goal hit me hard…..looks like 3 red arrows in a row. Thanks for nothing Felix and Kepa.

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

      Kane to Darwin, Bruno to Salah. Nice moves on my part

  15. Bartowski
    • 15 Years

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

      Don't know but Weghorst will score a goal today from a Karius howler.

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think ManU will nick it 2-1

    5. Scalper

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Tbf I've just switched it on & that was my pre-game prediction. You'll just have to trust me on this one 🙂

  16. Kane and Ablett
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wait, did somebody transfer Harry Kane FPL royalty out for a hit?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sure, he even dropped in price because of the sellers...

    2. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Royalty scored miserable 6 points for 11.7

  17. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    With Chelsea in this kind of form don't realy want any of their attackers for DGW29. Maybe just kepa

    An arsenal or City mid can easily outscore them

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes u are right

    2. Kane and Ablett
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Same as pooL this week

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

      I know, but can’t transfer out Felix for a hit.

  18. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    For Manu v.s Liverpool next match pick two to be in ur team for this Fixture only

      No Bap February?

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rivals in my mini league having a good GW with Martinelli, Håland(C) and Kane. Me Nketiah, Saka(C) and Felix+ bringing in 3 Liverpool.

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

        I have only 2 Liv, but add Kepa, T Silva and Felix today.

  20. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who to move to Toney

    A Nketiah (BOU)
    B Felix (LEE)
    C Wait another week and do Mahrez to Mitoma instead

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C

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

      Wait until 2nd LIV game

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

        *Arsenal game, sorry

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

      A

    4. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Both Nketiah and Felix out could backfire next GW.

  21. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Have WC, FH and BB. When would you WC? Now aiming DGW29 BB?

    Kept/Ward
    TAA/Trip/White/Kilman/Bueno
    Salah/Mahrez/Rash/Ode/Andreas
    Haaland/Darwin/Nketiah

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

      Very simliar to my team except I have kane, shaw, tark instead Darwin, TAA & kilman

      I'm leaning towards WC to freshen up my team & go for GW27 & 29 doubles & use FTs for later DGWs

      If try & limp along to GW33 can see myself dropping points every week

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

        Yeah kind fed up right now so may just WC, 33 seems far away

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

      If you're thinking of WC in 27 then I'd just do it in 26.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You on WC now what’s the formation looking like "

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

      So any point of keeping WC until GW33?
      May WC for 27&29 and just ignore BGW28.

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

        No FH left for 28?

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

          Have it

  22. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sweepstake for the minute Newcastle start time wasting? I’m going for 2

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

    Potter is genuinely one of the most uninspiring Chelsea managers I've seen in my time.

    I've probably forgotten a few stinkers but after Tuchel's passion everything that comes out of Potter's mouth makes me feel deflated.

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

      What about his wife and kids though

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

        What people have done and sent them is terrible. He and anyone can complain about that since it's sick.

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

          Oh was only joking.

          But yes no one deserves such threats thrown at them.

          Think that despite this, there is a way to go about handling it when speaking to media outlets. Every manager will at some point get threats, simply because their team loses. If you look at managers such as Sir Alex, pep, and Klopp, they’ve been in it so long, I’d doubt they didn’t receive nasty things said to them.

          Think image and how you present yourself to the world matters and you just have to carry on, regardless of the unjust things these fools may say (threats etc). It’s a business full of critics.

          Or perhaps I’m cold hearted.

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

      he was never a Chelsea manager to start with. Odd decision to appoint him as your manager.

  24. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which 2 would u start? On shaw and trippier atm x

    A) Shaw (liv)
    B) Trippier (mci)
    C) Gnonto (che)
    D) Andreas (bre)

    1. Bobby Digital

  25. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years

    Score check?29 with 6 to go.

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

      33 with 4 to go plus hopefully Patterson 1pt

    2. nanxun
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      33 (41 -8) with 7 to go .... On track for 4th red arrow in a row. 🙁

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      46 -8 with 8 left including Darwin

    4. cigan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      50 with 7 to go, seems really good considering I got Darwin in for a hit

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

      50 with 7 to go. Saka captain

    6. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

      46, 5 to go.

  26. cigan
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Obv. depends on what Darwin does midweek but would you do any of these moves or just save the FT?

    A) Darwin > Toney
    B) Shaw/Trent > Estupinan

    Raya
    Trent Shaw Tarkowski
    Saka Odegaard Martinelli Rashford
    Haaland Kane Darwin
    (Ward Trippier Andreas Bueno)

  27. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wonder who will be the new Chelsea manager?
    Hopefully he'll get some money for transfers, you can't win in PL with this poor lot they have at the moment.

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Strong rumours that it’ll be Nathan Jones

  28. sk24
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bench one:

    A) Robertson
    B) Trippier
    C) Shaw

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tricky very tricky. Ideally start all 3. Probably Robertson if you have to

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

    Bruno G having a good game. Shame Wilson is out of form, otherwise it's a comfortable Newcastle win

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Top player.

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anthony groin?

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

      Must have got hit in the balls. Fine now.
