If you\u2019re in a rush and need some last-minute Fantasy Premier League (FPL) advice, here\u2019s a quick round-up of what you need to know about Gameweek 25.<\/p>\n

WHEN\u2019S THE FPL GAMEWEEK 25 DEADLINE?<\/p>\n

All transfers and team selections need to be done by 18:30 GMT on Friday 6 February<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BLANK + DOUBLE CONFIRMED\"Double<\/p>\n

Attention, all! We have confirmation of 2025\/26\u2019s first Double and Blank Gameweek, because the EFL Cup final is now finalised.<\/p>\n

Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers will play twice in Gameweek 26<\/a>, joined by Crystal Palace and Manchester City as Gameweek 31\u2019s non-participating quadruple<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is the trigger for managers to start planning their upcoming transfers and create chip strategies for this season\u2019s final stretch.<\/p>\n

ARSENAL OPTIONS\"FPL<\/p>\n

Lateriser provides advice to those who own lots of players from these four teams<\/a>, as they commit to either using a chip or assembling a full XI for Gameweek 31.<\/p>\n

Some may Wildcard right now, and our draft goes heavy on Arsenal<\/a>, though Jurrien Timber<\/strong> (\u00a36.4m) might not have trained<\/a> on Thursday, and initial reports<\/a> say that Bukayo Saka<\/strong>\u2018s (\u00a39.9m) latest injury could keep him out until Gameweek 27. The latter is in our \u2018Buy, Keep or Sell\u2019 piece<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Zophar\u2019s latest Q&A<\/a> has a section on his favourite Saka replacements. A couple have entered his own team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PLAYERS TO TARGET\"FPL<\/p>\n

In fact, the midfield landscape is a talking point amongst the FPL community. Bruno Fernandes <\/strong>(\u00a39.7m) feels essential, someone unanimous in Scout Squad picks<\/a> and captained by all 18 \u2018Great and the Good\u2019 managers<\/a> last time.<\/p>\n

Cole Palmer <\/strong>(\u00a310.4m) could start against Wolves after being a midweek substitute<\/a>. Teammate Enzo Fernandez<\/strong> (\u00a36.8m) has four goals in six<\/a>, and Liverpool\u2019s Florian Wirtz<\/strong> (\u00a38.3m) is finally settling in<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Out-of-form Declan Rice<\/strong> (\u00a37.5m) is due an assist, whereas Morgan Rogers<\/strong> (\u00a37.6m) has a goal imminent<\/a>. Bryan Mbeumo<\/strong> (\u00a38.5m) could be a double-up on Manchester United\u2019s fixture run, Ismaila Sarr<\/strong> (\u00a36.3m) might be on Palace penalties<\/a>, and Oscar Bobb<\/strong>\u2018s (\u00a35.1m) arrival at Fulham<\/a> shouldn\u2019t yet harm Harry Wilson<\/strong>\u2018s (\u00a36.1m) minutes.<\/p>\n

However, Kevin Schade<\/strong> (\u00a37.0m) is suspended<\/a> and Anthony Gordon<\/strong> (\u00a37.3m) could be hurt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BEST FPL GAMEWEEK 25 CAPTAIN\"Who<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes<\/strong> is the recommended armband recipient of both Captain Sensible<\/a> and our Rate My Team (RMT) algorithm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Magalhaes<\/strong> (\u00a37.1m) is their next best, with third-place split between Bryan Mbeumo <\/strong>and Jarrod Bowen <\/strong>(\u00a37.7m).<\/p>\n

TEAM REVEALSSCOUT PICKS + DIFFERENTIALS<\/p>\n

Our weekly selection \u2013 which is essentially a Free Hit in all but name \u2013 goes all-in on Arsenal and Chelsea<\/a> trios.<\/p>\n

\"FPL<\/p>\n

The trio of suggested differential picks<\/a> includes Crysencio Summerville<\/strong> (\u00a35.5m), a goal scorer in three successive matches who is about to face Burnley.<\/p>\n

PREDICTED LINE-UPS<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve predicted the starting XIs<\/a> of all 20 Premier League teams.<\/p>\n

Whatever you decide to do, good luck with FPL Gameweek 25!<\/p>\n
