With only one day between the end of Gameweek 13 and the start of Gameweek 14, Fantasy Premier League managers have very little time to get their teams ready for tonight’s next round of fixtures.

In this article, we look at a midfield option that has been grabbing the attention of FPL managers worldwide over the last couple of days.

We also compare two nearly identical defensive options to see which one presents more value, and we look at the players who are most likely to score points from attacking contributions in the form of assists.

Second-placed Chelsea held league leaders Arsenal to a 1-1 draw in Gameweek 12 of the 2025/2026 Premier League season.

The Gunners would be disappointed with a draw, as the hosts went down to 10 men only 38 minutes into the game.

The remainder of the game was a great example of Chelsea’s game management as they held on for the draw.

With Manchester City beating Leeds United, the gap to the top is closed to five points now, as Pep Guardiola’s side are now in second with 25 points.

This puts an interesting spin on the title race and also signals that it is possible to win points from the mighty Arsenal.

Through this tactical analysis, we will examine how Chelsea managed to stay in the game after their red card.

The 13th fixture of Serie A ended with a decisive narrow 0-1 win for Napoli against Roma in the Derby del Sole.

It was one of the most important editions of Derby del Sole, as the match came at a time when both teams were at the top of the Serie A standings and were actually battling for the top four spots alongside AC Milan and Inter Milan.

Over the last few years, Napoli have been battling for these spots, but Roma have failed to get close, as they’ve been struggling with various issues and posting poor results.

This season, Roma have been able to create a happy surprise for their fans and Serie A fans in general by putting on some very convincing performances, keeping up with the other top teams at the top of the standings.

This frustrating home loss to Napoli will see Roma lose the advantage for the top spot, as AC Milan take first, leaving Napoli second.

Nevertheless, Roma are still well in the race.

For Napoli, the team have exploited the latest international break well as they came back from it much stronger and more united, especially with Antonio Conte tactical tweaks and reliance on some new names to lead the attacking line.

Conte’s tactical changes helped Napoli get back to winning ways, as they have won all three games since the international break.

The difficult win against Roma can only consolidate the team’s recent positive results and push them into playing the next game against Juventus with high confidence and motivation levels.

The tactical analysis will mainly focus on Napoli’s attacking performance and how they exploited Roma’s defensive weaknesses to score the single goal of the match and get closer to scoring other goals.

The 2025 Copa Libertadores Final crowned Flamengo as four-time continental champions after defeating Palmeiras 1–0 at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, a match that encapsulated the current challenges of South American football: strategy, spatial control and defensive pragmatism.

Both teams, two footballing and economic powerhouses of the continent, arrived with strong credentials: Palmeiras after a historic comeback in the semi-finals against LDU; Flamengo after overcoming Racing and Estudiantes with composure on their path to the final.

Pre-match expectations revolved around the possibility of an offensive football spectacle, individual talent and territorial dominance; a final worthy of its stature.

However, what unfolded was a tactical and density-based battle: a match locked in the middle third, where every inch of space had to be earned and protected like a fortress.

In that context, the final became a clash of structures in which collective discipline prevailed over individual brilliance.

Against that backdrop, the analysis of what happened on the pitch reveals more than a goal: it exposes the logic of control, pressure and density that defined Flamengo’s triumph, and consolidates their continental dominance in this decade.

This 2025 Copa Libertadores Final tactical analysis breaks down some of Filipe Luís tactics that tilted this clash in favour of his side and away from Abel Ferreira‘s Palmeiras.

AS Monaco handed Paris Saint-Germain their second Ligue 1 defeat of the 2025/2026 campaign this past weekend in a highly anticipated contest which saw Paul Pogba make his second appearance for Les Monégasques, a late cameo contribution off the bench.

Monaco’s win was built on a solid out-of-possession foundation which frustrated Les Parisiens.

Sébastien Pocognoli’s side limited PSG to 1.26 xG, which is 0.75 lower than PSG’s average for the league campaign so far, while generating 1.0 xG of their own.

It was a tight contest which saw both sides largely limited to low-xG attempts and in which Luis Enrique’s side failed to really get out of second gear, ultimately leading to a loss which leaves PSG in second place, now trailing RC Lens.

This AS Monaco vs PSG tactical analysis shares analysis of the Sébastien Pocognoli tactics which kept the European champions quiet at Stade Louis II on Saturday.

Monaco’s press, counterpress, mid-block and low-block strategies under Sébastien Pocognoli were well executed, leading to their upset victory.

This tactical analysis explains the ins-and-outs of Sébastien Pocognoli’s out-of-possession approach, along with urgent areas of improvement for Luis Enrique’s side.
