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.

    Tremmel, Davies, Michu
    GJohnson, Gerrard(c), Sturridge

    Full compliment of doublers for no hit.

    Might be in a spot of trouble the following week though.

      Bale - Mata - Michu* - Walcott

      RVP - Suarez* (C) - Sturridge* (VC)

      Subs: Federici - Puncheon - Jones - Clyne

      Is this a good plan?

        Looked very impressive in the highlights and the fixtures are good. Likely to be in my team post DGW.

        Wait. Look at the sudden Fletcher bandwagon (whom we had a bigger sample of) a couple of weeks ago.

        Now he's being quickly dumped again.

        GJ does not tempt you Granny? Similar situation myself and i just happen to think an aggressive strategy with GJ in is worth the -4 you will have to take later.

        It is straight up an attacking vs defensive mindset dilemma.
