Kevin de Bruyne is predicted to be the midfielder with the most points in the next 5 games (25 to 29). The Belgian midfielder also had at least one assist per match from games 21 to 24, although his playing time was still limited. Therefore, it is difficult to ignore this star in round 25.

Ross Barkley (Luton) has scored 31 points in the last 5 matches. The former Chelsea star has the highest expected assists index and ranks 2nd in differential pass creation index at Luton (counting players who play over 900 minutes). That shows Barkley’s importance. With a price of only 5.0 and with 2 DBW in rounds 25 and 28, Barkley can make a difference at this stage.
Select defenders
Liverpool has a nice schedule in round 25, but their defense has conceded 7 goals in the last 10 matches in all competitions. With Robertson just returning from injury, Konate suspended, Trent-Arnold injured, along with not playing in round 26, gamers should not use the Liverpool defender in round 25.
For Man City, choosing which defender to buy is probably like playing the lottery. Kyle Walker, their defender with the most appearances since the beginning of the season, has been a substitute in the last 2 matches. Gvardiol plays stably but is injured. Natha Ake will likely play in both matches in game 25, as a left-back. But like other Man City defenders this season, Ake’s ability to contribute assists or score goals is quite limited.

For the adventurous, Luton defender Doughty is worth considering. This left winger scored 40 points from round 16 to 24, the most among defenders in England, more than Gabriel (Arsenal, 38 points) or Senesi (Bournemouth, 27 points).
Striker problem
The first player to have is of course Erling Haaland, the player who scored a double against Everton. The Norwegian star leads in all important indicators for a striker and with Man City playing 2 home matches, even gamers should consider the option of using the Tripple Captain chip for Haaland.

Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez is an option to consider. This star has an expected goals index of up to 0.9/90 minutes (only less than Haaland) and is slightly better than the Norwegian striker in terms of expected assists. Nunez played well against Burnley and with Liverpool’s situation right now, Nunez is the number 2 priority to buy after Jota.
If you don’t trust Nunez to take his chances, Toney (8.2) is a slightly less risky option. The striker has been playing very well and has scored three goals in his last four league games, making him a solid choice for the GW double. The only downside is Brentford’s schedule, facing Liverpool at home and Man City away. These are not easy matches.
A cheaper alternative to those three is Luton’s Adebayo (4.9), who has scored in three of his last five matches and is averaging 0.7 goals/90 minutes. If you have a small budget, Adebayor is the right choice, especially when Luton continues to have DGW in round 28.
