Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at Craven Cottage tonight, as Fulham host Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Marco Silva’s side have the chance to extend their unbeaten run to four Premier League matches but will be without Aleksandar Mitrovic again, who fails to overcome a hamstring injury.

That means Carlos Vinicius will lead the line, in the only change to the side that started the win at Brighton and Hove Albion in Gameweek 24.

As for Wolves, they slumped to a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth in their last Premier League match, leaving them in 15th place in the table.

In reaction, Julen Lopetegui makes two changes to his first XI, as Mario Lemina and Raul Jimenez come in for Joao Moutinho and Adama Traore, both of whom are substitutes. Hugo Bueno, meanwhile, starts at left-back.

GAMEWEEK 25 LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Diop, Ream, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, De Cordova-Reid, Pereira, Willian, Vinicius

Subs: Rodak, Kurzawa, Adarabioyo, Duffy, Wilson, Solomon, Cedric, James, Lukic

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Bueno, Lemina, Neves, Nunes, Sarabia, Cunha, Jimenez

Subs: Bentley, Ait Nouri, Collins, Podence, Jonny, Moutinho, Costa, Gomes, Traore

      Who got benched?

    5. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      How is this disease called?

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bench wankery

  4. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Every single person around me in my ML has either played their FH or WC, Jesus, and there was me thinking I’d make ground!

    Hardly anyone has got or even captained Salah though, so hoping he pops off!

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You’ll make up ground in 28/29 then

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        For sure! Everyone has spurned their FH pretty much now, it’s the only chip I have left. Have soared since WC’ing.

        Just baffles me how the ones who have Wildcarded have filled their teams with like maximum EVE & LIV players, do they not know they are now stuck with them! Lol

          A few in my Works League have done the same 😀

          Leader has used his WC this week having already spunked his FH and TC earlier on in the season :O

          I've used my TC too but still have my FH and WC left!

          This should be like shooting fish in a barrel, but no doubt FPL will find a way to do me over, like Leeds beating Fulham in the FA Cup is a certainty now 😆

    2. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      If they all used their chips then you did make ground. Maybe not in pts this week but overall you got them

    3. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’ve tripled

  5. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Only dropped 2,000 places after taking -8 according to Live fpl so not too bad!

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      So you weren’t ranked No1 then.

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Sadly not

  6. Kane and Ablett
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Damn right
    Marco Silva speaking to Sky Sports about Andreas Pereira:
    “He is a key player for us. When we lost someone like Carvalho to Liverpool we tried to find someone similar. Andreas is more a midfielder and not as attacking but we play him between the lines. Off the ball he gives us so many things too. It’s nice to see him adapting. But he has to score more goals.”

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      goal confirmed

  7. One for All
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like 22 players to rise in price tomorrow, don't think i've this amount in a day.

    Thoughts on Iheanacho guys? so lowly owned

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      That’s not how it works. It all resets.

  8. Christina.
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Possibility of some nice rank gains/drops this week looking at live fpl and % ownerships

  9. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Average hits:
    -2.98 Top10k, -4.97 elite

  10. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Nketiah is going to let us down again isn't he?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      This is the week when he will score and Saka will blank.

      1. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Well according to stats Saka has never scored against this week’s opponents I think

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Like a lead balloon.

    3. Mirror Man
        2 years, 10 months ago

        He's going to let himself down.

    4. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Fulham cleanie almost locked in this game

    5. putana
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going through a bunch of the top 50 teams in the standings and a decent amount of them brought in Gakpo

      1. Mirror Man
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Kakpo

        • THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          catpoo

        • FantasyClub
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Coz the probably couldn’t afford Salah coz of Kane & Haaland

      2. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Up to 72k before a ball has been kicked. Long may it continue

        1. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Cracking rank

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          "Only" -39k rank drop with -4. But 20 to go!

        3. Tcheco
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          10% green arrow for me wow. Just by avoiding hits

        4. WVA
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          What rank were you before?

          1. Tcheco
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            He probably got a ~10% rank rise so was at 80k if I’m not mistaken

            1. WVA
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Nice, i may get inside 100k this week then

            2. Biggsy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Bingo!

      3. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Hope you've all set up your bus team by now - I have Ederson, BrunoF Trippier and Botman on my bench GW26 before transfer(s) Most expensive bench I can recall for quite a while.

        1. Fellaini's Fro
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Ederson Darwin Lewis Botman for my bench

          1. FantasyClub
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Darwin you said!?

      4. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Andreas and Dawson goals too much to ask for?

      5. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I triple captained Salah. Here goes nothing…

        1. One for All
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Brave man gl lol

          1. Tcheco
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I felt like he would score in both games. Thank you sir

        2. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I thought I saved my captain choice last night when I did my transfers.

          Obviously, I didn’t.

          So it’s Kane capped instead of Saka.

          Sums up my season really.

          1. Tcheco
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Hard luck mate here’s hoping Saka blanks. As for Kane, not a bad record in London derbies…

            1. Nomar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              I was genuinely so busy during the day that I didn’t even get a chance to check my team before the deadline either.

              It’s reached the point now where other things in my life are genuinely more important than checking my fantasy team.

              Which is good for my real life but terrible for my fantasy play.

              1. noissimbus
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                Not a bad thing at all.

        3. Fellaini's Fro
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Same here. 98.4% EO.

        2 years, 10 months ago

      7. Scalper
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Can't believe I'm watching Fulham v Wolves.

        The FPL effect.

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Oh boy, you know nothing then... we all did worse, trust me.

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Was thinking the same 😉

        3. Tcheco
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          I once watched a Sheffield United pre season game to see if 4.0 Lundstram actually played in midfield..

          1. alsybach
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            I like that

      8. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        No central striker has scored a goal for Wolves in over a year

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Why don't they put Bueno upfront

          1. Freshy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Good luck to ya

          Hopefully you were well set

          .... as much as it is good to start of solid it's how the week ends that counts most.

        2. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          11% for me

      10. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Hold Wolves hold.

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Bueno cleanie and a BAP or two would be nice.

      11. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        So I didn’t save my captain choice last night and it’s stuck on Kane instead of Saka, and I have Mitrovic with no one on my bench.

        1. alsybach
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Mitro might play…..

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Eh?

          2. Silecro
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Not in the match squad

          3. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            With his kids at the park? Because he ain't playing Vs wolves tonight

        2. Fellaini's Fro
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Tough luck, been there this season. It was Kane as well and Haaland netted a hattie.
          Set your GW26 team now

      12. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years

        Are we really going to watch this?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          You need to stop talking about yourself using the royal ‘we’

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            No we don't need to.

        2. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Netflix instead 😉

          1. Hy liverpool
            • 12 Years

            Exactly what i did

        3. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Worth it for the Andreas goal later

          1. Supersonic_
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Bueno haul

      13. Steinburg FC
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        had to chose between mcniel and sarabia, 100% went sarabia just to make this game more interesting... also have bueno

        1. Steinburg FC
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          letsss gooooo!!!!!

      14. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Bueno on corners

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          And quite advanced 🙂

        2. Freshy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Trouble being Fulham have all the trees

          1. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            That and the whole "wolves don't do goals" thing

      15. Eleven Hag
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        So this is how Bueno looks like

      16. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I am not surprised at all to see all the 'experts' captain Salah. FPL loyalty is 100% a thing even when the stats and fixtures are in favor of another player. Let's see how it goes!

        1. Supersonic_

          I think Saka was the safer option. Went Salah last minute, gotta live a little

            He was not the safer option looking among the most popular content creators.

            I made a league with all the FPL folks I follow. The top 16 of them all captained Saka.

            Ben Crellin, Sonaldo, Lateriser, Zophar, Tom Freeman, Pras, Bakar. Literally, the lot of them. I knew it would be this way too.

              *All captained Salah rather.

              Difference between safer and popular is there not?

              Salah, could tank. He's been inconsistent and liverpool, while still attacking still look woeful.

              Arsenal however look great and solid, Saka being massively in form and one to have in your team. So I'd disagree to be fair.

              But hey ho, We'll see what happens.

              Ignore the “experts”, Salah wasn’t the safe pick in the actual game. The opportunity of captaining salah in a dgw when he’s relatively low owned doesn’t happen very often. The safe pick was saka, which is shown in his EO. I play for highest rank at the end of the season not to beat content creators

          i dont even think salah gets more than one return this week. Would have kept bruno if not for the blank

          I bought salah in and captained, would much rather have Saka but was maxed out on arsenal and never got round to sorting him.

          Hopefully Saka is the better pick even with help of hindsight!

          Stats aren’t necessarily in Sanaa favour. Have you looked at the stats?
