FPL in 5 minutes: Gameweek 25 Tips and Strategies (2026)

Attention all Fantasy Premier League (FPL) enthusiasts! Are you running short on time and need a quick catch-up on Gameweek 25? Well, buckle up because we're about to dive into a whirlwind tour of the upcoming fixtures and strategies.

The Deadline Looms: Make Your Moves!

You have until 6:30 PM GMT on Friday, February 6th, to finalize your transfers and team selections. It's crunch time, folks!

Blank and Double Gameweeks: The Strategy Unveiled

Here's where it gets interesting (and a bit controversial!). The EFL Cup final has confirmed the first Double and Blank Gameweek of the season, and it's time to start planning your moves. Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers will be doubling up in Gameweek 26, joined by Crystal Palace and Manchester City in Gameweek 31. This is your cue to start strategizing and deciding whether to use your chips or build a full XI for Gameweek 31.

Arsenal Options: Navigating the Saka Dilemma

For those with a heavy Arsenal presence in their teams, Lateriser has some valuable advice. With the potential absence of Jurrien Timber and the likely Gameweek 27 return of Bukayo Saka, it's time to consider your options. Zophar's Q&A also offers insights into the best Saka replacements, so you don't miss out on those crucial points.

Midfield Mastery: Targeting the Right Players

The midfield landscape is a hot topic among FPL managers. Bruno Fernandes is a unanimous pick, with his essential status confirmed by the 'Great and the Good' managers. Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez are also worth considering, especially with Palmer potentially starting against Wolves. And let's not forget Florian Wirtz, who's finally finding his feet at Liverpool.

But here's where it gets tricky: out-of-form players like Declan Rice and Morgan Rogers could turn things around, while Bryan Mbeumo and Ismaila Sarr offer double-up opportunities. Oscar Bobb's arrival at Fulham might not impact Harry Wilson's minutes just yet, but keep an eye on that situation.

Captain's Choice: Bruno Fernandes Leads the Way

Both Captain Sensible and the RMT algorithm agree: Bruno Fernandes is the man for the armband in Gameweek 25. Gabriel Magalhaes comes in second, with Bryan Mbeumo and Jarrod Bowen tied for third.

Team Reveals: Top Managers Share Their Strategies

Curious about how the pros are shaping their teams? We've got insights from Zophar, an eight-time top 10k finisher, Hall of Famer Dan Wright, and the FPL General's Haaland-less team.

Scout Picks and Differentials: Going All-In

Our weekly selection takes an aggressive approach, focusing on Arsenal and Chelsea trios. And if you're looking for differentials, consider Crysencio Summerville, who's on a goal-scoring streak and about to face Burnley.

Predicted Line-Ups: Stay Ahead of the Game

We've got you covered with predicted starting XIs for all 20 Premier League teams.

So, FPL managers, it's time to make your moves and good luck with Gameweek 25! Remember, every decision counts, and the season's final stretch is upon us. Are you ready to take on the challenge?
