Steem Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 25 Review and Match Prediction Game!

acidyo (82)in #sfpl • 7 years ago

We are back with another match week of The Premier League. The transfer window is still open, with Aubameyang being the hottest topic of the moment. Some teams are tired after a round of FA Cup, but all the managers in Steemit League is fresh and ready for another match week. Here we go!

Swansea - Arsenal

Arsenal will be well rested as they didn't play the FA Cup. The opposite can be said about Swansea. They played FA Cup which ended in a draw, which might have felt a bit frustrating as they were dominating the game. A tired Swansea squad against a fresh and hungry Arsenal squad must end in an Arsenal victory. The return of Monreal, Koscielny, and Özil seem to have given them the boost they needed. Monreal, Wilshere, and Mkhitaryan are the players who add great value. Mkhitaryan? Yes, sir. I think he will start right away. Mkhitaryan didn't seem to fit into the United squad, and I think it's due to their passive attacking. Arsenal wants to attack all the time and wants to keep a hold on to the ball. Together with Özil, they will bring back some of the Arsenal we saw when Cazorla was playing. Of course, it will take some time to the players to get to know how he plays and think, but he has been playing in the Premier League for some time, so I think he will adapt quickly. I think Arsenal will win 0-2, and I think at least one goal will come from a defensive player. Monreal, Mustafi, and Koscielny have all been great on set pieces lately, and I see that continue.

Huddersfield - Liverpool

Liverpool did what so many top teams have done. Won against the greatest team in the league and then lose to one of the worst teams. It doesn't seem like Van Dijk has added the stability to the defense yet, but I still see a lot of value in him. He is extremely dangerous on set pieces, and also has a few key passes. Both teams played FA Cup. Liverpool lost and Huddersfield drew. Even though Huddersfield has lost the last three matches in the Premier League, I could see them get something from this match. Still, Liverpool is the favorite to win this match. Salah still adds great value, but Firmino also seems to be on fire at the moment. Even though he missed a penalty in the Fa Cup match, I find him a great player to add to your attack. Besides Firmino, Salah, Van Dijk, I would add Chamberlain. Only costs 5.7m, and seems to play the offensive role of the three-man midfield. I could see Huddersfield get something here, but I still predict a Liverpool win. 0-2 seems realistic, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended in a draw.

Chelsea - Bournemouth

Bournemouth is starting to show their true potential we saw last season. Unbeaten in the last five matches in the Premier League, but still just a few points from the relegation zone. I don't see Bournemouth continue their unbeaten run against Chelsea. Fabregas, Babayoko, Azpilicueta, and Moses were all rested in the 3-0 victory against Newcastle and are likely to start. Hazard is also likely to start on top again. Morata is still a doubt. Same goes for Courtois. The question is whether Barkley will start or not, but even if he does I don't see value in him. The players I see a bit of value in are Hazard, Alonso, and Christensen. As I expect Chelsea to keep a clean sheet in at least two of the coming three matches, some Chelsea defenders would be a great choice. Hazard could also score plenty of points in the coming matches, especially if he plays as the only attacker. I believe in a 3-0 victory for Chelsea with Hazard being the man of the match.
