FPL Gameweek 25 The Weekly Lecture: Captain, Transfers & Differential Uncovered

Delivered later than planned not through negligence but circumstance. I have only just been signed by The Update and thus you join this course midway through the term. Do not panic. The truly gifted always catch up quickly.

Let us begin.

Captaincy VerdictBruno Fernandes

Pupil the answer is obvious. The armband belongs to Bruno Fernandes.

He is not simply creative. He is the most creative player in Europe. Possibly the world. Creativity is the purest currency in Fantasy Premier League and Bruno prints it at industrial scale.

The recent upturn in fortunes is no coincidence. His move into a number 10 role has unlocked him fully. Freed from unnecessary defensive chores he now operates exactly where damage is done. Ruben Amorim. Lord of Mercy. What were you thinking.

Manchester United’s Lazarus hold my beer style improvement also matters. Results breed confidence. Confidence breeds shots chances penalties and bonus points. Oh so many bonus points.

And the fixture. Lads, it’s Tottenham. A team generous in spirit and structure. They may be marginally better on the road, in the same way instant noodles are “better” with hot water. But, they’re still Spurs. Verdict? Captain Bruno. Proceed without fear.

Transfer ThesisBuy Arsenal Defenders.

Some weeks require deep thought. This is not one of them.

Arsenal at home to Sunderland is a fixture that demands action. Sunderland’s goal scoring record away from home collapses dramatically. Without Xhaka, it’s practically non-existent. This is data not opinion.

You may be tempted by Declan Rice. Rice Rice Baby as the casuals say. Resist. Sunderland are strong on set pieces and well drilled defensively in those moments. That threat is likely neutralised.

Timber. Gabriel. Saliba. Calafiori. Raya. It doesn’t matter who, any will work. Just grab three. Surely you already have two, so add one more. It’s like topping up your phone battery at 80%, pointless, compulsive, and for some reason it feels amazing

DifferentialJarrod Bowen

Now we separate ourselves from the masses.

Jarrod Bowen is owned by just 9.5 percent of managers. That number should disturb you.

West Ham’s attack has been rejuvenated by two new signings Taty Castellanos and Pablo Felipe who have added movement gravity and creativity around Bowen. He is no longer isolated. He is enabled.

The form is undeniable. Twenty points in his last two games. We do not ignore form. Ever.

The fixture is Burnley away. Usually one would hesitate. We do not. Because we pick form over fixtures every time. Every time. But if you’re stickler for the the latter, here we have both.

What is not to love.

That concludes the first Weekly Lecture.

Your focus is the tuition. The results will follow.
