Best midfielders for FPL GW25
We will look at midfielders from every price point: budget enablers, midpriced picks and premium options.
*We avoid Everton and Wolves midfielders – they are not delivering fantasy points on regular basis and you might be stuck with them after the double gamaweek. It is better to have great single gameweek asset, rather than poor double gameweek asset, because once the double gameweek is over, you are stuck with a poor performing player.
Budget enablers for Gameweek 25
Andreas (4.4m, Fulham)
- without a doubt, the best budget midfielder in the game
- Andreas does not have to be your bench fodder
- Have a fixture during blank in GW25
- You can play him almost every gameweek and use funds elsewhere, as he is averaging 3.7 points per game, which is equivalent to 141 points per 38 matches – a return that not even some more expensive FPL midfielders can achieve through the season
Mid-priced FPL midfielders for GW25
Ward Prowse (6.2m, Southampton)
- Ward Prowse is our pick mainly due to his long-term reliability based on his points output in the previous season
- On penalties and set pieces
- Fixture doesnot matter, we can never time his points, he delivers when you least expect it
Grealish (6.8m, Manchester City)
- overlooked, could be a potential differential
- slowly and steadily collecting fantasy points
- benched only once after the GW17 restart
- 2 goals and 5 assists after the restart
- great fixture in GW25, but rotation risk due to the Champions League fixture midweek
Odegaard (7.0m, Arsenal)
- with Martinelli being the rotation risk, Odegaard + Saka is the preffered Arsenal double up in the midfield
- You should aim to have two Arsenal midfielders in their double gameweek in GW25
Mahrez (7.8m, Manchester City)
- Each season, he has a great run where he keeps scoring until he gets rotated again, and it looks that he is now in the good form
- Hard to find any other reliable midfielder among Manchester City players
- Good fixture in GW25 that has big haul potential, but expect some rotation from City
- Rested in GW24, so Mahrez could potentialy start against Bournemouth
Saka (8.4m, Arsenal)
- key man for Arsenal
- offering stable output in FPL
- just pick Arsenal midfielder(s) for your team and do not worry about their fixtures
- captaincy option for DGW25
Premium FPL midfielders for Gameweek 25
De Bruyne (12.4m, Manchester City)
- It hasnot been the same Kevin De Bruyne after the World Cup
- Great fixture for City against Bournamouth in GW25
- Having Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City players in your team for GW25 is going to be crutial
- There are slight worries thath De Bruyne could be rotated in GW25
Salah (12.7m, Liverpool)
- the main man for Liverpool
- poorer season than we are used to from him
- aim to bring him in for double gameweek 25, he could be captain candidate in DGW25
- almost must have for DGW25, especially if you are on a free hit
Midfielders beyond Gameweek 25
Mitoma (5.4m, Brighton)
- Mitoma is an amazing form
- We all should have picked him after the GW17 restart
- unfortunately, blanks in GW25 which prevented many managers to bring him
- We have slight worries that he could be the “next Almiron” when he does well in just a cluster of few fixtures and then gets out of form
- Brighton with double gameweek in GW27, but then likely blank in GW28
Rashford (7.3m, Manchester United)
- The top scoring midfielder in the game
- Rashford is underpriced when we consider his returns in the previous seasons (apart from the last one)
- Manchester United have blank in GW25, bench him in this gameweek, do not sell
Son (11.6m, Tottenham)
- one to monitor, Son is overlooked due to his poorer performances this season
- but we know, how explosive he can be, and once he start firing, he can get double digits hauls in 3-4 gameweeks in a row
- Could be a differential and Tottenham is heading to great fixture run
