As Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 25 approaches, managers are keen on maximizing their points through strategic captaincy choices. This week, we cover the top three captain picks, catering to every style of play—be it conservative or adventurous.
Top 3 Captaincy Picks for FPL Gameweek 25
- Gabriel Magalhães (Arsenal) – The Projected Top Scorer
- Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) – The Popular Choice
- Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) – The Bold Differential
1. Gabriel Magalhães: The Projected Top Scorer
As the highest projected scorer for Gameweek 25, Gabriel has accumulated 129 points this season. This positions him as a frontrunner among defenders, trailing only Bruno Fernandes, Semenyo, and Haaland in the overall scoring chart.
He has netted three goals so far, with only Van de Ven and Romero scoring more among defenders. Arsenal’s defense has been solid at home, conceding just eight goals at the Emirates. In addition, they have achieved six clean sheets this season.
With Sunderland only managing six away goals, Gabriel’s prospects for a clean sheet look promising. According to our statistics, he is projected to earn 6.2 points in this Gameweek.
2. Bruno Fernandes: The Popular Choice
Bruno Fernandes stands out as a high-ownership option this week. He has delivered 12 assists this season and leads in attempted assists, ‘big chances’ created, and expected assists across all players.
With Manchester United scoring 23 goals at home, only Arsenal and Manchester City have performed better. The Red Devils’ solid attack and Spurs’ leaky defense (17 away goals conceded) make Fernandes a reliable captaincy option.
This Gameweek, he is projected to score 5.2 points.
3. Jarrod Bowen: The Bold Differential
Jarrod Bowen emerges as an intriguing differential for Gameweek 25. He has two goals and an assist in the last two matches, benefitting from recent transfers to West Ham’s attack.
With West Ham ranked 11th in away scoring, their matchup against Burnley, who have struggled defensively at home, adds to Bowen’s appeal. Currently, he is projected to score 4.9 points this Gameweek.
These captaincy picks provide a range of options for FPL managers in Gameweek 25. Whether opting for the safety of high ownership or the unpredictability of a differential, clear choices can enhance your team’s performance in weekly matchups.
