Gameweek 25 Tips: Fantasy Premier League (FPL) - Going big on City could bring double delight!

Fantasy Premier League 2018-19: 3 Players to consider for the coming weeks

#1 Sergio Aguero – Forward (£11.3m)

Aguero opened the scoring in the first minute against Newcastle in midweek

Goals: 11

Assists: 8

Season Points: 113

Upcoming fixtures: ARS (H) & EVE (A), CHE (H), BLANK

It’s no secret I’ve got a real soft spot for Aguero and he could really do the business in this double gameweek. @FPL_vs (great account to follow if you like to check players records against specific clubs) posted a tweet earlier this morning of Aguero’s record vs Arsenal (12 games – 5 goals & 2 assists) and vs Everton (9 games – 2 goals & 1 assist) and it looks good!

With 3 goals, 1 assist and 3bps in his last 5 games he’s got the form behind him and he’s also got the joint-highest xG90 with 0.70 (Salah & Aubameyang are the same). Aguero takes plenty of shots too averaging 4.77Sh90 and has the 6th most shots in the league (72) despite missing 4 games through injury.

PEP ROULETTE CAVEAT – he may not play the full 90 in both games so he is a rotation risk!

#2 Raheem Sterling – Midfielder (£7.3m)

Sterling could answer your double dilemmas VVD has been getting major praise at the heart of the Premier Leagues best defence!

Goals: 10

Assists: 10

Season Points: 144

Upcoming fixtures: ARS (H) & EVE (A), CHE (H), BLANK

The second City player I’ll give you to whet your appetite is Raheem Sterling! He’s the 4th highest points scorer in the game this season and is playing for a City side which need some wins if they’re to keep the pressure on Liverpool.

Sterling has slight form coming into the double this week with 1 goal, 3 assists and 3bps on his last 5 games. His underlying stats for the Newcastle game were particularly poor with 0 shots and 0 key passes and was fairly anonymous.

His previous 4 games though he averages 1.5 shots per game as well as 2.5 key passes per game. He’s also joint 6th in the PL this season for bps which displays his effectiveness.

PEP ROULETTE CAVEAT – he may not play the full 90 in both games so he is a rotation risk!

#3 Virgil van Dijk - Defender (£6.5m)

Virgil van Dijk is one of the best center-backs in the world at the moment

Clean Sheets: 12

Goals: 1

Assists: 3

Season Points: 119

Upcoming fixtures: WHM (A), BOU (H), MUN (A)

I think if you don’t have 1 Liverpool defender – you probably need 2! I have selected VVD as he’s a straight swap for Alonso at the same price, and if you can’t afford the extra £0.3m for Robertson (the best defender in FPL this season!) then VVD is a great option.

Liverpool have conceded in 4 of their last 5 games but a big reason I’ve put a Liverpool defender in here is for Blank Gameweeks. Liverpool are out of both the English cup competitions which means they won’t be hit with a blank GW this season. Hence, he will be useful for GW27, GW31 and GW33.

Liverpool also only play 3 of the top 6 (away at United in GW27, Spurs at home GW32 & at home to Chelsea GW34) before the end of their season. Add to this, barring injury, he’s nailed in that Liverpool backline he may be one you want to consider.
