Catching up with the FPL experts ahead of Gameweek 25 could be both fun and insightful. The experts cover some of the key topics ahead of the new round which could help bring clarity to some of the decisions we have to make in our own teams.
@FPL_Harry
Harry posted a very interesting poll ahead of Gameweek 25. He asked the community if they thought selling Newcastle striker Alexander Isak (£9.5m) to Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins (£8.9m) was a good idea. A huge 58% felt that making this move was a bad idea.
The poll is hugely relevant this week as Aston Villa play twice. With Isak facing Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Liverpool in the next three fixtures, many have been tempted by the switch. However, those making the move need to keep a close eye on Watkins’ injury status ahead of the deadline.

Andy revealed some of his thoughts ahead of double Gameweek 29. Aston Villa face both Liverpool and Ipswich this week, so have become a popular side for investment. Whilst midfielder Morgan Rogers (£5.6m) and Ollie Watkins have become popular choices, FPL managers could also consider other assets.
One of them is full-back Lucas Digne (£4.6m) who ranks second highest among defenders for total big chances created. The other is midfielder Marcus Rashford (£6.6m), he recently signed from Manchester United, and is yet to play a minute of football for Aston Villa.
@Pras_fpl
Pras touched upon one disappointing asset ahead of the new round. Brighton striker Joao Pedro (£5.5m) has become extremely frustrating for FPL managers – having blanked in all four of his previous league games.
However, it could be worth looking ahead with the Brazilian. Brighton face an out of form Manchester City in Blank Gameweek 29. So, for those looking to get rid of Pedro, it could be worth taking that into account.
@FPLOlympian
Double Gameweek 24 took many managers by surprise. In fact, it forced many within the community to activate their assistant manager chip on Everton manager David Moyes. It’s worth mentioning that many people deliberately picked him too.
This is significant because Aston Villa have a double this week. So, for those that went for Moyes originally, it could be a good idea to transfer him out for Unai Emery. Aston Villa face Ipswich, but they also face Liverpool. So, as well as having a lovely first fixture, Emery has the opportunity for table bonus points against Liverpool.
