Justin Kluivert Keeps Going Up
Bournemouth have been one of the Premier League’s surprise packages this season, with Andoni Iraola’s influence evident in their impressive form.
Their only defeat in the last 12 league games came against Liverpool in gameweek 24, highlighting their consistency under the Spanish manager.
A resounding 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest in gameweek 23 further cemented their status as potential Champions League qualification contenders.
They now sit just three points outside the top four.
At the heart of Bournemouth’s remarkable run has been Justin Kluivert, who has been their standout performer this season.
The Dutch forward has delivered 11 goals and 4 assists in 23 appearances.
Six of those goals have come from the penalty spot, while two have been scored from outside the box.
Strong underlying numbers back Kluivert’s attacking output.
He has registered 25 shots on target and 16 off target, giving him a shooting accuracy of 61%.
He has also created three big chances for his teammates and maintains a pass completion rate of 78.6%.
He averages 1.9 crosses into the box per 90 minutes and has only been dispossessed 15 times in 24 matches.
In the FPL season so far, Kluivert has amassed 123 points, making him one of the highest-scoring midfielders this season.
Priced at just £5.9m, he remains one of the best value picks in the game and is one of our top fantasy premier league tips for GW25.
Expectations are high for him to continue delivering with upcoming fixtures against Southampton, Wolves, and Brighton.
He is once again the most transferred-in player ahead of a new Fantasy EPL gameweek.
FPL Managers Wave Goodbye To Amad Diallo
Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has shown flashes of brilliance during this Premier League campaign.
Despite playing in an inconsistent Man United side, he emerged as a spark of hope earlier in the season.
He presented an intriguing option for FPL managers due to his budget-friendly price.
After his stunning hat-trick in gameweek 21 against Southampton, FPL managers had high expectations for Diallo, especially with upcoming fixtures against Brighton, Fulham, and Crystal Palace.
However, United managed just one win in those three games, beating Fulham in gameweek 23 while suffering defeats to Brighton and Palace.
During this stretch, Diallo failed to register a goal or assist, accumulating only 7 FPL points.
With Spurs, Everton, and Ipswich on the horizon, FPL managers are now losing faith in Diallo.
He is currently the second most transferred-out player ahead of the new FPL GW25, with only Anthony Gordon seeing more sales due to injury concerns.
Diallo has played the full 90 minutes in each of Manchester United’s last six Premier League matches.
It remains to be seen whether he will continue to receive consistent game time and if both he and his team can find better form as the season progresses.
Milos Kerkez Steps Up
While Bournemouth’s attacking stars like Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo have dominated headlines this season, Milos Kerkez has played an equally important role in the team’s success.
The left-back has contributed two goals and three assists in the Premier League, but his overall involvement in possession has been most valuable.
Kerkez has recorded 1,317 touches this season, averaging 54.8 touches per 90 minutes.
His contributions when moving the ball is evident, having attempted 780 passes with an accuracy of 81.7%.
He also takes excellent care when in possession, having been dispossessed just 11 times in 24 league appearances.
In attack, he averages 3 crosses into the box per game and has an expected assists (xA) tally of 1.75.
His discipline ensures FPL managers do not frequently lose points to bookings, as he has received only 3 yellow cards this season.
With 90 FPL points so far, he sits just 1 point behind Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk.
Priced at £5.0m, he represents solid value for those looking to invest in an in-form Bournemouth side.
With upcoming fixtures against Southampton, Wolves, and Brighton, FPL managers hope Kluivert will continue delivering in attack.
At the same time, Kerkez maintains defensive stability and provides the same contributions that have made him such a key figure this season.
As a result, Kerkez is the most transferred-in defender ahead of gameweek 25.
Dominik Szoboszlai Vs Bernardo Silva
Liverpool and Manchester City have been going head-to-head for the Premier League title in most of the recent seasons.
Manchester City have fallen behind this season, with many attributing it to injuries and inconsistency from key playmakers like Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden.
While Foden has played 1,362 minutes this season and De Bruyne just 1,005 minutes, Bernardo Silva has been a far more consistent presence, spending 1,914 minutes on the pitch.
At Liverpool, Dominik Szoboszlai has not quite reached the levels the club expected when his transfer from RB Leipzig was announced.
The Hungarian midfielder has played 1,543 minutes in the Premier League this season, considerably less than Silva.
But how do the two compare statistically?
Bernardo Silva has registered 2 goals this season, one fewer than Szoboszlai.
The Liverpool midfielder has also provided 2 assists, while Silva has recorded 4.
Szoboszlai has attempted 44 shots at goal with a shooting accuracy of 57.7%, while Silva has had 25 shots with a shooting accuracy of 52.9%.
Creatively, Bernardo has produced 8 big chances, one more than Szoboszlai’s 7.
Their passing accuracy is very similar, with Silva at 88.8% and Szoboszlai at 86.2%.
Bernardo has attempted significantly more crosses into the box, delivering 45 compared to Szoboszlai’s 27.
If Szoboszlai still had his former RB Salzburg teammate Erling Haaland to aim for, his crossing numbers might be higher.
In terms of ball retention, Szoboszlai has been far more secure in possession, having been dispossessed only 13 times compared to Silva’s 26.
From an FPL perspective, Szoboszlai has accumulated a total of 82 points and is currently priced at £6.3m.
Bernardo Silva has earned 72 points and is available for £6.2m.
These two players have delivered similar FPL returns, and it will be interesting to see which one finishes the season with a higher tally.
How Did The FPL Assistant Managers Do?
After Everton’s double gameweek, David Moyes emerged as the highest-scoring manager in gameweek 24.
He earned 12 points from Everton’s emphatic 4-0 win over Leicester and another 10 points from their draw against Liverpool, bringing his total to 22 points for the round.
Wolves manager Vítor Pereira followed closely behind, securing 20 points after his side’s impressive 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, Fulham boss Marco Silva was the third highest-scoring assistant manager, earning 18 points from his team’s 2-1 win over Newcastle United.
Looking ahead, FPL managers considering activating their Assistant Manager chip might want to focus on Unai Emery, who has a double gameweek featuring matches against Ipswich and Liverpool.
Villa are expected to beat Ipswich, but if they can pull off a surprise result against Liverpool, Emery could deliver a massive points haul in gameweek 25.
For those seeking a safer option, Liverpool manager Arne Slot appears to be a reliable choice with fixtures against Wolves and Aston Villa.
Our fantasy football tip is that if Liverpool can bounce back from their draw against Everton, Slot could provide a solid points return in the upcoming round.
