\nGameweek 24 in\u00a0Fantasy Premier League\u00a0proved to be a fairly high-scoring one, yielding an average of 61 points\u00a0with\u00a0four teams playing twice.
\nThere are multiple fixtures to look forward to in GW25 as well with Leeds United and Southampton enjoying double-headers.
\nThe Merseyside derby graces our screens in this round with the Liverpool welcoming Everton to Anfield.
\nMeanwhile, Arsenal and Man United host Man City and Newcastle United\u00a0respectively.
\nElsewhere, Tottenham and Chelsea\u00a0are on the road to West Ham and Southampton.
\nHere are a few\u00a0tips to help guide you through GW25.
\nCAPTAIN –\u00a0RAPHINHA |\u00a0LEEDS | 5.4M<\/p>\n
Not one of the household names that usually grace this segment of the column but Raphinha does seem to make the most sense for the captaincy this week.
\nDon’t let his modest price of just 5.4m or his low ownership – 5.1 per cent at the time of writing – deter you. In fact, his status as a differential should be a point of encouragement.
\nThe biggest selling point though is the double-header Leeds enjoy, travelling to Wolves on Friday night before hosting Southampton late on Tuesday. The prospect of having two bites at the cherry will forever retain its appeal in the FPL universe.
\nThen there’s also the midfielder’s superb form to consider. He has bagged attacking returns\u00a0in each of the last five games with two goals and three assists.
\nALTERNATIVE
\nPATRICK BAMFORD\u00a0(6.9m) is bound to be the more popular pick and that’s certainly justified.\u00a0Five attacking returns in his last four games, makes for great reading and he boasts the highest xG in the league [14.59]. Given his ownership [55.1 per cent at the time of writing] he’s the safer option, but Raphinha has potential to be explosive and catapult you up the rankings.
\nBOLD CHOICE
\nKEVIN DE BRUYNE\u00a0(11.8m), like Raphinha, finds himself in an unfamiliar segment of this column. Having been sidelined for weeks, though, his ownership has dropped to just over 10 per cent. But that also means his a differential and comes back into a far more\u00a0fluid, dominant and confident City side than the one he was last involved in.
\nONE\u00a0TO\u00a0GET
\nDANNY INGS\u00a0|\u00a0SOUTHAMPTON | 8.4M<\/p>\n
Danny Ings’ pedigree as a proven Premier League striker is unquestionable and that was the case even during a muted return from injury. In GW24 though, he ended four-game drought, providing a modicum of optimism for a Saints side in disarray in the league. Chelsea at home provides another stern test and while Leeds away won’t necessarily be easier, opportunities to score should be aplenty.
\nONE TO AVOID
\nBEN CHILWELL\u00a0|\u00a0CHELSEA | 5.9M<\/p>\n
Ben Chilwell began his Chelsea career with a bang this season and while the Blues have been reinvigorated under new boss Thomas Tuchel, the English left-back seems to have lost his place. While the defence picks up clean sheet after clean sheet, he’s frustratingly\u00a0played just one of the last four league games, and has dropped behind Marcos Alonso in pecking order.
\nBARGAIN BUY
\nDAN BURN\u00a0|\u00a0BRIGHTON | 4.2M<\/p>\n
Arguably the cheapest shot at a clean sheet in the game right now. For the miserly sum of 4.2m, you can bring Dan Burn into your line-up and\u00a0enjoy the rewards\u00a0of a Brighton defence that’s kept five clean sheets in the last\u00a0six games. Just don’t hold your breath for any attacking returns.
