See the dream line-up featuring a combined FIVE players from Arsenal and Chelsea and some intriguing differentials

Arsenal and Chelsea supply a combined total of five players in the best team for Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League, ahead of Friday’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

Arsenal centre-back Gabriel (£7.0m) and midfielder Declan Rice (£7.5m) entertain Sunderland, who are winless in their last seven away games, on Saturday afternoon.

Now is an opportune time to invest in the Gunners as they, along with Wolverhampton Wanderers, will play twice in Gameweek 26, after Mikel Arteta’s side booked their place in the EFL Cup final on Tuesday.

Chelsea’s visit to Wolves is also among five 15:00 GMT kick-offs on Saturday, with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez (£4.9m) joined by midfielder Enzo Fernandez (£6.8m) and forward Joao Pedro (£7.5m).

Manchester United‘s Bruno Fernandes (£9.6m) continues as the captain, with Gabriel named as vice-captain.

Robert Sanchez (Chelsea) £4.9m

A visit to Wolves gives the Chelsea goalkeeper the chance to collect his 10th clean sheet of 2025/26 Fantasy. Rob Edwards’ side have failed to score in five of their last seven matches at Molineux.

Gabriel (Arsenal) £7.0m

The Arsenal centre-back is the top-scoring player in Fantasy since recovering from injury and returning to their first XI in Gameweek 19. Two goals, four clean sheets, four defensive contribution points and five bonus points in that spell have helped Gabriel to 47 points and show why he is among the best captain options in Fantasy right now. 

Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace) £5.8m

An ownership of just six per cent makes the Crystal Palace wing-back a great overlooked pick to help you rise up your mini-leagues. Following his visit to Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend, Munoz has back-to-back home matches against Burnley and Wolves.

James Tarkowski (Everton) £5.8m

The Everton centre-back boasts strong away form ahead of the Toffees’ trip to Fulham. Tarkowski has 27 points across Everton’s last four matches on the road, producing three clean sheets, six defensive contribution points and one bonus point.

Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) £9.6m

Manchester United’s Portuguese star is the most-bought midfielder in the Gameweek, earning 388,000+ new owners for the Red Devils’ home encounter with Tottenham Hotspur. Having delivered his sixth and seventh double-figure hauls of the campaign in his last two home matches, Fernandes’ all-round potential ensures he is named as captain in the Selection once again.

Florian Wirtz (Liverpool) £8.3m

The Liverpool midfielder is in his best form of the season ahead of a home match against Manchester City. Wirtz has delivered all four of his double-digit returns this season over the last seven Gameweeks, producing 10+ points in all but one of his last four outings at Anfield. 

Declan Rice (Arsenal) £7.5m

Along with Martin Zubimendi (£5.2m), the England star is one of only two midfielders or forwards to have started each of Arsenal’s last four league matches due to Mikel Arteta’s rotation. Rice’s delivery from corners and free-kicks could prove particularly crucial against Sunderland in the expected absence of his fellow set-piece taker Bukayo Saka (£9.9m). 

Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea) £6.8m

The Argentinian is another top midfield target for Gameweek 25, brought in by 321,000+ managers due to his increasing influence on Chelsea’s attack. Fernandez has scored four of his eight goals this season, and supplied one of his three assists, over the last six Gameweeks. 

Erling Haaland (Man City) £15.0m

A run of one goal and one assist across the last seven Gameweeks shows why Haaland’s 70 per cent backers should look elsewhere with their captain’s armband for his visit to Liverpool. Nonetheless, the Reds’ recent defensive form at Anfield looks promising for the Man City star – Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet across their last four home matches, conceding against both Wolves and Burnley during that run.

Joao Pedro (Chelsea) £7.5m

The Brazilian has been Chelsea’s top performer under new head coach Liam Rosenior, amassing 30 points over the last three Gameweeks. Joao Pedro has produced three goals and two assists in that spell and is another strong captain candidate.

Taty Castellanos (West Ham) £5.5m

At a cost of only £5.5m, the West Ham United forward, owned by only 0.1 per cent of managers, can prove a bargain buy against Burnley in Fantasy. Castellanos’ 13 shots in the box and four big chances (situations where a player is expected to score) both place among the top two players in Fantasy over the last four Gameweeks.
