If you’re publicly streaming the upcoming 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 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) content while away from your TV and become safer online by downloading the fastest virtual private network (VPN) around.

KEEPING UP WITH DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 25

For example, FPL managers with NordVPN can watch these top-flight matches, about to be televised in the UK:

Fri 14 Feb20:00 GMTBrighton v ChelseaSky Sports
Sat 15 Feb12:30 GMTLeicester v ArsenalTNT Sports
Sat 15 Feb17:30 GMTCrystal Palace v EvertonSky Sports
Sun 16 Feb14:00 GMTLiverpool v WolvesSky Sports
Sun 16 Feb16:30 GMTTottenham v Man UnitedSky Sports

With this weekend being all about the FA Cup, the next FPL deadline waits a bit longer.

Following their heavy 5-0 defeat at Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest responded by annihilating Brighton and Hove Albion 7-0 in Gameweek 24. Can the Seagulls continue this chain of thrashings by handing Chelsea a Valentine’s Day humiliation? It’s certainly time for Joao Pedro (£5.5m) to start contributing.

Then, the Saturday lunchtime kick-off takes Arsenal to Leicester City. Those with multiple Gunners assets at the back will be confident of a clean sheet, considering their hosts have just four goals in nine league matches.

Over 416,000 from the FPL community have activated their Assistant Manager chip on David Moyes. Part two of this three-Gameweek chip takes Everton to Crystal Palace, where their strong defence tries to thwart Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.3m). The Frenchman has netted six times in his latest five outings.

At the same time, 577,000 used this chip on Liverpool boss Arne Slot. The league leaders have a second successive Double Gameweek, with Aston Villa also playing twice.

After that, Sunday’s main event has two unpredictable underachievers meet in north London – Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. This match could be absolutely anything. One point of interest is Spurs’ deadline day signing Mathys Tel (£6.0m) – generously priced and listed as a midfielder. He could soon rival Amad Diallo (£5.6m) in that position’s competitive cheap price point.

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.

      Good thing Emery speaks tomorrow, hopefully as late as possible.

      1. Haa-lala-land

        "Good ebening, I will hand starts to Rashford, Asensio and Malen in both games of the double"

        OH GOD

      Just to let everyone know that Slot didn't do any post match press last night. His red card meant he wasn't obliged to carry out any media duties.

      1. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…

        Will he speak to the media before the deadline?

    A) Am chip Emery
    B) wait, just get in Kluivert

    1. Fodderx4
      • 8 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      I done both but had 2 free transfers, I picked AM as its a decent time to play it and don't want to over think it. TC on Mo worked a treat and that was the obvious move. If I get even close to the 159 I got this week I'll be delighted.

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        9 months, 25 days ago

        It was obvious - Tick
        High score humble brag - Tick

          haha apologies

            Its okay I'm only light heartedly kidding 🙂
            If we can't brag here, who can we brag to!

  3. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Will be free hitting in 29 so spending 2 FT's this week to get Emery. Where would you raise the money for him from:

    A) Isak > Watkins
    B) Davis > 4.1 defender and bench
    C) Cucurella > 4.8m defender and bench

    Current team:

    Henderson
    Gabriel / Robinson / TAA
    Salah / Palmer / Rogers / Mbuemo
    Isak / Mateta / Gakpo

    Fabianski / Amad / Cucurella / Davis

    1. Fodderx4
      • 8 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      A if your feeling like a punt and could pay off. Isak could also run riot against that City defence so it is risky. I'd likely do C.

  4. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Pickford
    TAA Gabriel Timber
    Salah Palmer Mbuemo Rogers Dango
    Isak Wood
    (Slot)

    (Fab Pedro Greaves Dunk)
    1FT & 0.6m

    Save FT here?
    Keep double Ars def or sell Timber for Kerkez?

    1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      save

  5. Boom XhakaLacaSaka

    9 months, 25 days ago

    4ft 2.5itb - TC used in 24

    Pickford
    Munoz Taa Gabriel
    Salah(c) Palmer Rogers Kluivert
    Isak Wood Gakpo

    Iversen Amad Castagne OShea

    A) Roll
    B) Isak or Wood > Watkins (if fit)
    C) AM Emery
    D) Both B & C

    Who are the defenders to target in preparation for BGW29
    Need to get rid of VVD-Konate and Hall

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      Gabriel
      Huijsen/Kerkez
      Williams/Aina
      Ait Nouri

      1. Bavarian
        • 7 Years

        Cheers mate, Thank you so much

  7. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    With VPN? Is games being broadcast on the hub this GW?

  8. Coupes
    • 7 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Start Isak or Wood?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      Same dilemma. Might end up avoiding the hit and start both.

    2. Nickyboy
      • 14 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      Both!

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      Isak

  9. Skout
    • 6 Years

    Best teams to target between now and 29 if not FH-ing?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      Bournemouth
      Arsenal

  10. Jullepuu
    • 6 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    I am most likely going to get Kluivert and Mbeumo in the next 2 game weeks. Which one should I get now?
    A) Kluivert
    B) Mbeumo

    1. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    What would you do here?
    2FTs, AM still available

    Pickford
    TAA/Gab/Munoz
    Salah/Palmer/Mbeumo/Rogers
    Isak/Gakpo/Wood

    Fab/Sarr/Hall/Greaves

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      Palmer to Nkunku

      1. Steve McCroskey
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 25 days ago

        Logic?

        1. Haa-lala-land
          • 5 Years
          9 months, 25 days ago

          Sets up closer for Isak to Haaland in 29, as an option

  12. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Why is everyone so hot on Emery for the AM?

    Outside of the DGW, not a big fan of those fixtures.

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      I think they plan to move him on to another manager, straight after Villa's double

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      - 2 fixtures
      - table bonus

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        9 months, 25 days ago

        Also highly likely use FT to replace Emery in 26

    3. Steve McCroskey
      • 12 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      I'm not really but think I need to play my AM chip now and it's either him or Slot. Will move on for another manager next GW.

    4. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      I would have said the same for those who were hot on Moyes but the outcome proved me wrong.

      Tbf, AM chip involves risk so I don’t mind them being hot on Emery

    5. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      2nd one is eligible for table bonus and even a draw will be great (they play at home)

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Then you transfer Emery out for GW26

  13. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Should I start Robinson or Aina?

    Sels
    VVD Mykolenko Aina
    Salah Palmer Rogers Mbuemo
    Gakpo Isak Wood

    Matthews Robinson Winks Faes

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      Home fixture

  14. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Is this Fantasy Elitserien?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      200 miles due East, me lord

  15. Andrew Garfield
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Hmm, i am still not understood yet about AM chip giving score. Please can anyone explain for the detail ?
    Thanks

  16. HD7
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Fellow Salah TCs, first of congrats to all!

    Second what is your idea for next GW?
    AM - Slot, Emery or maybe save it for now?
    I also read an idea about Glasner around 31-33.

    I have 2 FT and Gordon and Hall to Bmouth players would be easy bet. That is if... TAA is fit to start in next games.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      AM Emery though hate playing big on Villa as if we lose it's double pain

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        9 months, 25 days ago

        I have a feeling that Villa can get a draw. If Everton can... then they should also be able.

        1. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          Not factoring in the derby effect.

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      Almost identical situation to u

      I don't think Am is worth it these weeks. Slot ceiling is too low and Emerys fixtures aren't that good. I'd want more chance of winning the bonus game.

      Also we'd have to use transfers next two weeks during a time I need transfers for BGW

      Probably just doing Gordon and Amad to Bournemouth mid and Rogers/Mbuemo with 2 free

      Or sell TAA is slot says he won't start. Keeping Hall

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        9 months, 25 days ago

        I get your point. Just not sure if we will have viable options once GW 30s stadt and we use WC FH BB ETC

    3. Mino Raiola
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      I don’t really feel it with AM on emery. Can’t se them getting anything from the pool game, so then it’s basically just a single GW.

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        9 months, 25 days ago

        You dont rate Villa getting a win and a draw like Everton?

        Also as I wrote above Im not sure if we will have viable options once GW 30s start and we use WC FH BB etc.

    4. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      If I can play AM chip this week, I get 4 games from it.
      I avoid using it across 1 of the other Doubles and Blank34
      Use the BB and FH for DGW33 DGW36
      WC30,31 or 32.

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        9 months, 25 days ago

        What is your AM choice then?

        1. ViperStripes
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 months, 25 days ago

          Has to be SLot or Emery this week, next week, no idea, will look at league positions then to see who has best chance of 5 slots above bonus across 2 weeks.

  17. Mino Raiola
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Gordon and Gakpo to Mateta and Kluivert + activate AM on Slot for -4. Is it worth it?
    yes/no?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      No

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 25 days ago

      Yes

  18. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Right here's the plan for GW25:
    Diaz>Dango
    Iwobi>Kluivert (get both Bournemouth players because whichever I pick it will be the wrong one and vs Southampton is a good entry point)
    Play the AM Chip on Slot.
    8pt hit to do that.
    bench 2 of Wissa, Palmer, Wood, Gabriel

    GW26: Switch AM
    GW27: Move on one of TAA, Salah, Isak, Munoz (probably the latter unless injuries) or save FT
    GW28: Save FT
    GW29: Use 2 or 3FT's avoid having to FH
    GW30: Probably WC.

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Oof, decent plan on paper. Why not Iwobi to Dango this week?

      1. Tommy Template
        • 11 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        I don't think you need the 8 point hit looking at who you're debating benching. Just move Diaz to one of the Bournemouth lads and bench Iwobi and another if needed.

  19. AYEW JOKING
    • 1 Year
    9 months, 25 days ago

    This gwk should be the highest average score, no?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      for this year, maybe.

      I remember a few years ago, someone hit 240 mark?

  20. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Play Dango or Wissa?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Dango and it's not close imo.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Why have Dango if you won't play him against Southampton

    3. Manchego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Can you play both? Against any other team, it would be Wissa, but it's Southampton, so I'd play Dango. I've been trying to fit some Bournemouth attack into my squad but can't as I already have Wissa & Mbuemo.

  21. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    If there's no news on Watkins, are you getting him or not? I think I'll pass, unless there are credible leaks (if such thing even exists) he's starting. Don't think they need to rush him with Rashford and Malen available.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Then I'll assume he still has a groin issue

  22. Dosh
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 25 days ago

    Hey guys, any thoughts would be great.

    I missed out playing TC or AM by overthinking it. So basically have all chips available except BB. Thinking of playing Free hit this week for Villa, Bournemouth and Arsenal players. I have none of those but already have 3 from Liverpool. Currently have 2FT which helps me to sell Pool players after this double and setup for GW29 without FH. Plan is to TC Haaland in the City double later on(if we get it). Feel like it will be easy to setup for the doubles later without FH.

    Thoughts? Should I just play TC Salah or AM this week? Or could this plan work?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      You also need to consider navigating GW34, likely the biggest BGW of the season.

      TC25 Salah is an easy decision

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      If u have FH and Free transfers and all other chips just FH in 29. Get Rogers/Bournemouth this week

  23. boc610

    9 months, 24 days ago

    All the spoon feeding on here its like a creche at lunchtime. It's genuinely like there's people who don't know how to Google stuff or just have a basic grasp of the world wide web in general

  24. Kitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Play 2 of;

    A) Amad
    B) Wood
    C) Gordon

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      AB

  25. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Been going without a BOU mid and dropping down...
    Any advice how to fit one in this lot?

    Pickford
    Aina, TAA, Robinson
    Rogers, Mbeumo, Salah (tc), Palmer, Foden
    Isak, Wood
    (Flappy, Ndiaye, Colwill, 4.0)

    a) Foden to Kluivert
    b) open to any advice..

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      I would roll this week, then do Rogers to a Bou mid in 26.

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      A

    3. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      A. Yeah, same. I picked Semenyo

    4. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      ta lads

    5. Kitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      I would keep foden - he could be a good differential if you already have home nothing wrong with that midfield at all

      I would be tempted to swap Auba for kerkez

      1. Kitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Aina

      2. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        this is the reason why i held onto him over this break - but not sure he would be playing this forward with all the new players they brought in..

  26. RogueBlood

      C

      (I'm reluctantly benching Wood this week and hoping for a repeat of the reverse fixture).

    As it stands right now, this is how my team would look for gw29 without any transfers:

    Sels
    Gabriel, Kerkez, Robinson,
    Palmer, Amad, Mbuemo, Kluivert,
    Isak*, Mateta*, Gakpo*

    Fabianski, Munoz*, TAA*, Salah*

    So 8 players playing.
    I am also currently on Moyes AM with 0.0 itb to upgrade him. And only 1FT

    Would you
    A) Downgrade Robinson to afford the 0.3 up to Emery and possibly look to FH in 29
    B) Downgrade TAA to a playing player in 29 and get Slot in instead?

    1. Dosh
      • 11 Years

      B seems like the sensible option

  29. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    From GW26-29, which GK do you prefer?

    A) Flekken - lei, EVE, AVL
    B) Sa - bou, FUL, EVE

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      A if you must

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      No other fires to put out?

    3. Tommy Template

      Just about Flekken but Wolves fixtures are better than Brentford beyond that period
