Fantasy Football News & Tips You Can Use Today

Welcome to the one‑stop spot for everything fantasy football. Whether you’re a seasoned FPL manager or just getting your first squad together, we’ve got the latest news, smart picks, and quick fixes to keep your points ticking up. No fluff, just practical advice you can put into action right now.

Double Gameweek 25: Isak or Watkins?

The biggest dilemma for most managers this week is the choice between Alexander Isak and Ollie Watkins. Isak has been on fire for Newcastle, scoring against top teams and earning a decent rotation slot. His price is higher, but the upside is huge if he keeps finding the net.

Watkins, on the other hand, sits at a lower price point and is playing at home for Aston Villa, which often means more attacking chances. He’s in great form, hitting the penalty spot regularly, and you’ll see him get a lot of minutes.

For a Double Gameweek, you want a player who can deliver points in both fixtures. Isak’s fixtures are a mix of tough and moderate, while Watkins gets two home games against mid‑table sides. If you need a captain‑worthy pick, Watkins is the safer bet; if you’re chasing a high‑scoring differential, lean on Isak. A quick tip: put the more expensive player on the bench and use the cheap starter, especially if you have a limited budget.

Latest Transfer News Impacting FPL

Transfers can shake up your squad faster than a red card. Manchester United just secured Benjamin Sesko for £66.5 million. He’s a young striker with a knack for finishing, and United’s attacking style means he could be a solid starter once he settles.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have splashed out for Luis Díaz from Liverpool. Díaz adds pace and a different skill set, so if you own any Bayern players, keep an eye on his price rise – it could affect your budget for the next few weeks.

In the Premier League, Chelsea are circling Brighton’s Evan Ferguson. If the move happens, Ferguson’s price could jump, making him a premium asset for owners looking to boost attacking depth. Keep tabs on the final deal; a sudden price hike can be an opportunity to sell high or buy low before the market adjusts.

Finally, watch the South American market. Santos and Internacional are both dealing with injuries, which might open cheap forward slots. Players from those teams often provide good value in the budget range.

Here’s a quick checklist for today’s squad adjustments:

• Check your bench for any players who might be benched due to rotation.
• Swap a high‑price captain for a cheaper, high‑minutes option if you’re close to the budget ceiling.
• Use the Free Hit chip if you have a blank Gameweek coming up – it can save you from a points dip.
• Watch price changes after each game; a 0.1‑point rise can free up funds for a fresh transfer.

By staying on top of the news and making small, data‑driven tweaks, you’ll keep your squad competitive without over‑reacting. Remember, consistency beats occasional big scores in the long run.
