Lundstram
One of the biggest conundrums going into the Gameweek 25 tips is what to do with John Lundstram. He’s been on the bench for Sheffield United’s last two games. The fixtures are shining in the Blades favour, which does little to help matters!
The fall of Lord Lundstram? (Thread) ?
Our favorite player in FPL this season was recently benched! He has a lot of pressure to deliver points since he is the most popular defender in the game so…
Should we now be worried or are we too quick to jump to conclusions?⤵️#FPL pic.twitter.com/6mS8V8rxrE

Injury
Sadio Mane’s injury was the biggest development in the FPL world over the last week. Ben Dinnery has provided the latest update on the Senegalese winger: he’s likely to be back for Gameweek 26, so it could be an option to hold onto him.
"Sadio will not be involved against West Ham and probably not Southampton. After that he should be fine. He has a small muscle tear. We were lucky, it was not that serious."

Forwards
It’s a move away from Jamie Vardy, plus injuries to Rashford and Abraham, that his shook up the template front line in the game. FPL Tipz shares his preferred setup, with Raul Jimenez and Danny Ings the mainstays, alongside a more premium option.
The ideal front 3 in @OfficialFPL right now…
JIMENEZ
INGS
VARDY/AUBA/AGUERO
I personally feel these 3 will tick along nicely in the coming weeks. The premium asset is difficult to pick but I’d favour Vardy or Auba due to Aguero’s Champion’s League focus.
Agree?#FPL

Wood
Chris Wood is another budget forward who ought to be considered alongside Jimenez and Ings. He’s been in excellent from in recent weeks, despite a tough run of games, and now the fixtures are turning in Burnley’s favour. FPL King shares the key statistics.
Chris Wood – Burnley
?- No Blank GWs
?- Barnes Injured
?- 22 appearances
?- 10 Goals
?- 1 assist
?- 6.2m
?- 1.2% Owned
?- Total Pts 96
?- 10 great fixtures out of 14
Listening to @hailcheaters made me dive in and have a look ??

Tips
FPL Tactician has reviewed some of the big dilemmas in the community for the Gameweek 25 tips and has brought them into a handy advice list. Among the issues is what to do with Ings, Lundstram and Leicester defenders.
3 Tips for GW25.
1. Bench Ings. Even though he scored in the reverse fixture earlier in the season I think the chances of a return are slim.
2. Don’t sell Lundstram yet.
3. Soyuncu ➡️ A Sheff U defender is a good move even though they blank in GW28. Wouldn’t treble up though.

Blanks
Finally, Ben Crellin brings news of the next Blank Gameweek, in this must-read Twitter thread. There’s a small chance that one of these games could be rescheduled prior to Gameweek 28, so keep an eye on Ben’s analysis for more up to date news.
Gameweek 28 is set!
The EFL Cup Final between Man City and Aston Villa has caused two postponements:
❌Man City vs Arsenal❌
❌Aston Villa vs Sheffield Utd ❌Neither fixture can be moved to another date within GW28 so all four teams will have Blanks. pic.twitter.com/NncTes6V2U
