If you’re publicly streaming this weekend’s live matches using Sky Sports and TNT Sports subscriptions, NordVPN is your answer. It’s a smooth, safe way of connecting to a UK Wi-Fi server that could have questionable security.

Don’t miss your favourite content while away from your TV and become safer online by downloading the fastest virtual private network (VPN) around.

Why NordVPN is good for cheering on FPL assets

Chris Wood (£7.1m) looks set to be Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) most-sold player heading into Gameweek 24. Those keeping him will be hoping for a strong start in the early kick-off.

On Saturday evening, Morgan Rogers (£5.6m) has the chance to follow up his Champions League hat-trick with some domestic joy against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

There are a couple of matches on Sunday too. Bryan Mbeumo (£7.8m) and Yoane Wissa (£6.3m) get to have a go at Tottenham Hotspur’s dodgy defence, before last season’s top two clash at the Emirates.

The next night, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer (£11.3m) will try to end his recent streak of blanks, while nine days later we get the rearranged Merseyside derby from December. Playing twice in this round of games is why many FPL managers are focusing their transfers towards Liverpool and Everton.

If you’re moving about and checking up on your FPL assets, live score apps mightn’t be good enough. With NordVPN you can find a hotel room, restaurant or coffee shop and safely watch them – as well as scout some transfer targets for Gameweek 25!

WHAT IS NORDVPN?

Why NordVPN is good for following FPL assets

In public spaces, anyone else on that Wi-Fi could potentially steal your passwords and important data. VPNs act as a safety shield – like eventually buying Alexander Isak (£9.5m) even though you know his goals won’t gain much rank anymore.

It protects your privacy. If someone is snooping on that Wi-Fi, you’re now hidden from them.

Overall, NordVPN offers a great entertainment experience:

  • Fast and secure streaming from legal sites whether you’re at home or travelling, allowing you to watch your paid subscriptions from any place at any time.
  • Protects you from spying and hijackers by briefly changing the IP address and using encryption.
  • It’s available on all major operating systems, including smart TVs and routers.
  • NordVPN was voted as the best VPN in recent years by the likes of PCMag, Forbes, WIRED, TechAdvisor and Comparitech.
  • Also, it won’t track user activity or store your data, while Kill Switch offers protection when a connection gets disrupted.

ATTRIBUTES + UNIQUE FEATURES

  • NordVPN is one of the fastest VPNs on the market, as the NordLynx protocol combines top speeds with privacy.
  • It offers over 7,100 servers in 118 countries, meaning more options to connect with less lag.
  • Up to 10 devices can be connected at once, as Meshnet links them remotely for more secure file sharing or LAN parties.
  • When enabling Threat Protection Pro, you’ll get advanced safety from malware in files, websites that are malicious or scams plus any web trackers. It even blocks adverts for a smooth browsing experience.
  • Dark Web Monitor scans the area for hackers and immediately alerts you.

    Play wood or Rogers?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Wood

  2. FPL Virgin

    I'm confused. What's this? Is scout encouraging me to illegally stream premier league football?

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

      Illegally?!? What's the crime?

      1. Casual Player
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        What is the charge? Watching a match? A succulent EPL match?

    2. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      *whispers* yes, do it

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I have used it for 10 years now, watching BBC MotD when in America. No crime in that.

      Then as i have a US address and US esim i can watch Peacock, perfectly legally.

      I assume you mean IPTV streaming with unlicensed content. Foreign TV channels carrying football channels.and the like.

      If you do it for monetary gain (e.g. you are the IPTV provider), it is a federal crime. Don't do it.

      If you do it purely for personal pleasure (you only subscribe to the stream, you don't resell the content from it, you don't host IPTV watching parties for the public), it's not a crime. However, the copyright owner could complain to your ISP, resulting in your ISP deciding to cut off your internet access.

      Open AI made a complaint about DeepSeek AI stealing their content (by asking similar questions a million times to gain algorithms; (thats all it is at the end of the day) Palantair and alike are totally different. They are using AI to make their products better.but Open AI steals content (which is copywritten off my website). I have seen ariticles on akathisia about it. as had that torture for 7 years from an SSRI.

      Why do google send you to 8 year old reddit pages on a AI search. Because google own reddit. AI have destroyed many companies by stealling their research and copy and pasting it.

      Karma.

      AI has blown copywriting issues into very murky waters indeed.

      It is not illegal.

    Anybody else feeling Gakpo is a trap and will be benched?

    If you already have Salah and Trent, is there a better 3rd option?

    I was anticipating Darwin being a dark horse before he got sick. Maybe Szoboszlai?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Doubt he'll be benched, tough matches so they'll play their best team. He was rested recently and came off early midweek also.

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Who would play instead of Gakpo for Pool?

    2. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think Raya may force my hand to bring in Allison so TAA vs Gakpo is my conundrum for 3rd spot. I feel like Gakpo is the man in form tho

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I think Trent outscored Gakpo over 3 games

    3. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think he only is benched against Plymouth out of the next 4. Not easy opponents though.

    4. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      What trap, got 16 points last week?

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      What have you based this "trap" and "benched" feeling on?

    6. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No and no.

      No.

      I don't own Gakpo but he's not a trap (just scored 16!), played all the EPL games recently, and I'm full of regret

  4. George James
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Exact money for Gordon >> Mbeumo…

    Do it tonight?

    Yes or no

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      An upgrade and a popular move this week.

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yep

    4. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Sideways. Wouldn’t bother. Gordon the better player.

  5. LeytonOrient
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Gakpo or TAA as 3rd pool for the DGW?

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think Trent outscores Gakpo FWIW

    2. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      TAA for the Everton game and longer term.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Long term pick

  6. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Who score more this GW only

    A Gordon
    B Amad

    1. MBK 42
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A

  7. Dannyb
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Don't really want Everton but Verbruggen to Pickford a good move for this weekend?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yep

  8. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Would you play Eze or Pedro?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Eze

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Eze

  9. hogree
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Raya to Pickford?

    1. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      For free if you have a spare transfer burning a hole in your pocket. Maybe.

  10. LeytonOrient
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Play Neco Williams (BHA) or Hall (FUL)

    1. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Interesting! I would say Hall.
      For me it’s between Robinson and Murillo; I’m leaning towards Murillo. Any contrary opinions?

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Deffo Hall.

  11. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    A) Gordon > Diaz

    or

    B) Wood > Gakpo

    1. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B but I’d try to keep Wood.

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        B. Wood has crap fixtures and i rather own Wissa Mbeumo and Kluivert than Wood

  12. Bleh
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Play Gordon or Rogers?

    1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Gordon

  13. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Sels,
    Gabriel, TAA, Munoz,
    Salah, Palmer, Gordon, Amad,
    Isak, Gakpo, Mateta,

    Fabianski, Eze, Kerkez, Robinson

    I think the plan will be Gordon, Eze to Mbuemo, Kluivert for a hit this week and then hopefully roll transfers up to gw29.
    Sound like a plan?

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Not for a hit, no way. Gordon has decent fixture this GW. Better than Kluiverts.

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I was more seeing Mbuemo as the Gordon replacement and Kluivert for Eze.
        As it stands my team has 4 players out of 15 that aren't at risk at blanking in gw29 and I'd rather not use the FH chip for it. Mbuemo and Kluivert have decentish fixtures that week

        Long term the move makes sense. If I move now I gain a little more Team Value. Took a -4 last week for Gakpo and ended up 11 points up. I'm writing all this more for myself to justify why making the move makes sense.

        I feel Gordon could do just as well as Mbuemo this week, but I've been slightly frustrated watching Eze so I'd be happy to see him go for Kluivert.

        1. Not again Shirley
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. In isolation, Boom could easily match or out score Gordon this GW with that Spurs back line so could work out nicely. Personal would not lose Gordon this GW but I do understand your reasoning. GL.

  14. Sir Michael Taker
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    One aspect of asshead I found tricky when looking if you are playing this week is where you go in 26.

    The 'banker' is probably Arsenal home to West Ham.

    Of the potential bonus games Leicester to beat Brentford at home still too much of a longshot for me. Can't see Wolves getting anything at Bournemouth. If anything Bournemouth might be the banker to use it on. Southampton would need to beat Ipswich this weekend to give me any remote interest in them vs Brighton.

    The other games all look really tough to call with none of them bonus options. So its probably Arteta in 26 unless you are already on Iraola, probably wouldnt move it.

  15. Assisting the assister
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    A. Salah TC
    B. Moyes x2, Iraola x2 AM

    Which one?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I’d definitely say B, which is exactly what I’m doing.
      So much more upside compared to TC imo

      1. Casual Player
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        You need to show your workings on that one.

        So Salah's range might be 3 to 16 extra points, with 7-10 maybe the most likely range.

        Does using the AM chip to get an extra Moyes fixture net 7-10 extra pts? Possibly but unlikely

        1. Casual Player
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          If it's just upside, I think an outcome where Salah's bagging a 16-20 pt haul from that extra fixture is more likely than Moyes doing the same in either DGW24 fixture.

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Oh I do agree, and factoring in all what’s mentioned there, I’m just predicting that it’s definitely worth taking the gamble on, and with it being over three GW’s, well….four in this case, and then a switch to Iraola for SOU & WOL, I reckon that garners more points overall than Salah TC over what is really two tough fixtures for Pool.

    2. Saka White Rice
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Its common knowledge that A is the best bet

    3. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      BOU only have 1 game though, right?

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        GW24, 25, 26

      2. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        you can transfer a manager but it means a transfer (and you need the funds).

  16. Ninja Skrtels
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    All things being equal;

    A) Bruno —> Mbuemo
    B) Wood —> Wissa

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B

  17. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    What on earth are us Raya owners meant to do...

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He's an easy sell for Pickford imo.

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I already used up my FT so I'd need to take a hit. Which I suppose isn't too bad for a DGW player who so plays West Ham in 29

    2. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Honestly thats what I am wondering. I was all set to do Gordon to Boomo with my 1FT but now Raya is a doubt. I might just go Raya to Pickford but Boomo is likely to rise another 0.1m tonight sigh

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Do both.

        1. Eightball
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          for a -4 I am not so sure.

          1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            I kinda agree with doing both. Compared to most weeks, the relative downside vs. upside is slanted very much in favor of the latter i think

            1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
              • 4 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Although having said that, Gordon's fixture isn't that bad!

          2. Crunchie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            if you do you can roll transfers after that. A hit isnt a bad thing (injuroies permitting) if it sets your team up ok.

            I dont own any Arsenal defenders so i am waiting on team news and may FH29 as i have 3 Palace (soon to be two), 3 Newcastle, may become one, and 3 Liverpool, and Rogers who i will sell in 26.

  18. Viper
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    4Fts used.

    Pickford (Fabianski)

    TAA Gabriel Mykolenko (Munoz Greaves)

    Salah (TC) Palmer Gordon Mbeumo (Rogers)

    Ndiaye Isak Gakpo

    30 points incoming no doubt.

    N'Diaye is my lottery ticket punt. I know the sensible option would've been to hold Pedro & start Rogers but we live in hope

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Arsenal should skip Watkins & get Gyokeres in that case

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Oops, for below obvs

    2. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Quite like that team for this week.... you may need some FTs for next week onwards though

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Gordon -> Kluivert next week

        Rogers -> Semenyo/Dango in 26 maybe.

        N'Diaye benched most weeks

        1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Ok, you've thought that through way more than I did, and looks very good! Nice 1st sub in N'Diaye too.

  19. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Villa should sell Watkins and buy Gyokeres

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes and no

    2. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Lot different banging the goals past Boavista compared to the Premier League

    3. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No, Gyokeres is no Watkins

  20. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Would anyone else do Haaland to Gakpo for free for 1 week?
    Very tempted. I can transfer Haaland (or anyone) back in next week if want. Still have 1 FT left after it too.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Either stick with Gakpo beyond 24 or skip him this GW

  21. FusionFC
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Play: (1) Gabriel or (2) Hall?

    With 1 FT, worth going from either Gordon or Martinelli to Mbeumo?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Its close. I think both may conceed a goal.

    2. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'm in the same situation and playing Hall. While I feel Arsenal will win, I don't think they'll keep a clean sheet (and while I appreciate Gabriel is good from corners, Hall has attacking threat too).
      Regards the FT, I don't think Gordon's fixture is so bad to transfer him out.

      1. FusionFC
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Martinelli? No idea what to do with him. He should this start this GW, then has two favorable GWs afterwards. But there’s always the potential for him to start from the bench, and Mbeumo’s upside is certainly much higher.

        1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Ah, sorry totally misread as Gordon to Martinelli... for sure Martinelli to Mbuemo is the better option to use the FT
