FPL Tips For Gameweek 25: Big Man Bakar Tackles The Biggest Questions 3g122d

FPL tips pundit Big Man Bakar returns to answer all the biggest questions ahead of Gameweek 25.

This includes whether to bring in Alexander Isak, what midfielder to buy and what Cody Gakpo owners should do given that Arne Slot ruled him a doubt for Liverpool’s clash with Wolves.

Chelsea at 8pm.

Q) Should Those With Alexander Isak Look To Replace Him With Ollie Watkins? 4kgl

Unai Emery in his press conference confirmed that Ollie Watkins is in the matchday squad for Aston Villa’s clash with Ipswich.

Whether he starts the game is yet to be seen but there is a good chance he will feature, so I’d be happy to own him for the double.

Q) Should I Buy A Midfielder From Aston Villa, Arsenal Or Bournemouth? 734i2q

I think this depends on the number of free transfers you have.

If you have three or more transfers, I’d buy Morgan Rogers because of the double and then look to move him on later.

If you have fewer free transfers, you don’t have the luxury to swap someone in and out.

In that case, I’d look at a Bournemouth or an Arsenal midfielder – depending on your risk appetite.

Q) Which Bournemouth Midfielder Is Best To Buy? 2l1oc

I’m finding it really hard to split between Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo.

Both are excellent options. Dango has the added advantage of playing closer to goal as the striker and is cheaper but Semenyo is more of a robust, long-term pick.

I think I would lean towards Dango – just. Justin Kluivert is nice as well but he tends to get subbed earlier than the other two which puts me off, especially when the decision is so close.

Q) What Should Cody Gakpo Owners Do? Is It Worth Selling Third Liverpool Player To Make Room For Arne Slot Or Get Unai Emery? 6p863

If you have the luxury of four or more transfers, selling Cody Gakpo to enable Arne Slot might be something I’d consider.

However, I doubt a lot of FPL managers can afford the luxury at the moment. In that case, I’d just swap David Moyes to Unai Emery and hope and pray with Alexander Isak.

Q) Should We Free Hit in Gameweek 29? 656927

The answer to this question is team-dependent. If you have saved transfers in recent weeks and are not heavily loaded up on Newcastle, Palace, or Villa stars you’ve given yourself an easier route through Blank Gameweek 29 without needing to burn a chip.

I think that is an ideal scenario, as it allows you to save the Free Hit Chip for the bigger blank in Gameweek 34.

If you don’t have enough free transfers stacked and have heavily loaded up on Newcastle, Palace and Villa, then free hitting in Gameweek 29 might be the way for you.

Q) What should Iliman Ndiaye Owners Do? 3g3i4t

He is a definite sell – but when you do it depends on the number of free transfers at your disposal.

Apart from Yoane Wissa, I’m struggling to see too many forwards I like this week. Matheus Cunha has a nice run of fixtures coming up but has a difficult fixture away at Liverpool this weekend.

If you don’t have enough free transfers this week, it might be worth benching him and waiting for more information next week.

Q) Why Are Free Transfers Important At This Time? 5r5w4j

FPL managers not Free Hitting in Gameweek 29 will need free transfers in the coming weeks to ;

  • Swap assistant managers
  • Potentially get Bournemouth players
  • Potentially fix issues in their teams (Joao Pedro/Iliman Ndiaye)
  • Sell their Liverpool/Newcastle/Aston Villa/Crystal Palace assets
  • Potentially sell Mohamed Salah and buy Erling Haaland in Gameweek 29

Q) Joao Pedro – Keep Or Sell? 4o421j

Whether or not he starts this week seems anyone’s guess.

I think the sensible thing to do if you have eight playable attackers is to bench him and reassess his place in your squad after this week.

If he plays well against Chelsea, then you’d want him next week against Southampton.

Q) Bruno Fernandes – Keep Or Sell? 482f21

I think this is a really difficult one to answer.

The uncertainty over his positioning isn’t ideal, especially as he has been playing much deeper than usual in recent weeks. Whether or not that continues is anyone’s guess, for now.

It’s important to note that from Gameweek 27, United’s schedule is excellent, with Ipswich at home and Leicester in Blank Gameweek 29.

I would probably keep him, simply because transfers are so precious at the moment.

Q) Eberechi Eze – Keep Or Sell? 6u2r1z

I think Eberechi Eze is a fine asset to keep – as long as there are no doubts over his minutes.

If Oliver Glasner raises any such concerns in his press conference, then I’d sell – especially considering the blank in Gameweek 29 coming up.

Q) Should Anthony Gordon and Ismaila Sarr Be Kept Or Sold? 325u13

I think both are sells at this point, especially for those Free Hitting in Gameweek 29. There are better alternatives available at the moment.

Q) Those On Triple Captain GW24 With Assistant Manager In Hand, Should Assistant Manager Be Played In 25? 6g3t21

I would probably wait till later in the season.

I think the floor of using the chip in Gameweek 36 will be very similar to what we’re getting this week – in which case it makes sense to wait for further info.
