Gameweek 25 reaches a conclusion with Sunday’s programme, as we’re treated to two televised affairs to round things off. West Brom host Spurs in the lunchtime encounter, with Gareth Bale carrying the Fantasy football hopes for many as he looks to build on his midweek strike at Carrow Road. Later this afternoon, Man City will attempt to close the gap on United after their win at Craven Cottage. Roberto Mancini’s side take on Liverpool at the Etithad, with Fantasy managers scouting for double Gameweek assets as Brendan Rodgers’ side come under the microscope.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain so throughout the day to provide another option for those looking to express themselves over the course of the day’s games.

The team news from the Hawthorns finds the home side field both Shane Long and Romelu Lukaku for just the second time this season. Claudio Yacob makes a return from injury to start having returned to the bench in the week, while Steven Reid also gets the nod at right-back: Jerome Thomas and Billy Jones drop to the bench while George Thorne is out through injury. Visitors Spurs are unchanged from the starting XI which took on Norwich in the week; Lewis Holtby again starts on the bench, then, while Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Michael Dawson keep their starts in defence.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I'm stuck for next week please help!!

    Current Midfield:
    Felliani (had him since value of 6.5), Mata (had him for a while), Walcott (had hime since before his 26 point haul), Bale (very recent)

    Upfront:
    Suarez, VP, Ba

    What should I do:

    Ba > Sturridge
    Ba > Sturridge + One of the midfielders for Michu
    Ba > Sturridge + Mata, Bale or Walcott for Michu or Gerrard

    So stuck!!!

    Anyone loading up on DGW players...4 should really be the maximum, and depending on your bench strength 3 might be the optimum.

    Any more and you're just borrowing points a week early.

    So no Mata to Gerrard for a 4pt hit is not a good idea lol

      If this dgw is anything like arsenal's I don't see the problem with a couple of hits. I'm personally going with Suarez, Gerrard, GJ, Michu and Davies.

      Only thing that worries me is the pool players' gametime
