Tom Daniels picks out his top 5 fantasy tips for Gameweek 25.
Gameweek 24 provided some hard fought battles, starting with Verona's stunning 3-3 draw against Inter Milan. Verona continued their momentum from last week and fully deserved a point against a poor Inter Milan side. Elsewhere Napoli managed to scrape out a 1-0 victory against 10 men Carpi and Roma where victorious against a resilient Sampdoria. While Draws for AC Milan and Fiorentina pushed them further away from Juventus, who beat Frosinone 2-0, and Napoli. Thanks to Chievo's 2-1 victory against Torino they climb into the top half of the Serie A. No team currently in the bottom half managed to get a victory, in comparison to the top half where no team suffered defeat, so in terms of major table movements there were few.

Tip 1 � Juventus to end the week on top.
Juventus vs Napoli is one of the biggest games in the Serie A this season, with whoever winning becoming 1
st in the league. Both Napoli and Juventus have been on unbelievable winning streaks, with Napoli winning 8 games in a row. However they face a Juventus team that has had to fight back from a tough start to their season and now will be looking for their 15
th win in 15 games. If you fancy a gamble then put
Giorgio Chiellini and
Gianluigi Buffon in your team as Juventus have only conceded 6 goals in the Juventus stadium (the lowest in the league). But against a strong Napoli team the chance of a clean sheet are slim. We recommend
Paulo Dybala as a certain pick for this crucial top of the table clash. The young Argentine star yet again impressed in his last match by scoring against Frosinone, making it 3 goals and 1 assist in 5 games. With Dybala's goal scoring form looking like it will continue the 21 year old is the man you should certainly back. That is however if you believe that Juventus are going to beat a strong Napoli side.
Tip 2 � Niang to pile the pressure on Genoa.
While AC Milan will be disappointed to only draw 1-1 against Udinese they still should have enough quality to beat a lacklustre Genoa side. We recommend
M'Baye Niang as the player cannot stop scoring at the moment. The Senegalese striker has scored in his last three games and he will want that trend to continue. While there is a risk that his form could be temporary for the price you are paying he is certainly worth the risk. Niang has a mediocre record of 4 goals and 5 assists this season, but with 3 goals and 2 assists being in his last 4 league games the striker looks to have finally found some much needed form.
Tip 3 � Chievo to extend Sassuolo's terrible run.
Chievo proved against Torino last Gameweek that they didn't need Alberto Paloschi to carve out a 2-1 victory. This week they face against a Sassuolo team struggling to win, so Chievo have every chance to make it 2 wins in a row. For this match we recommend
Valter Birsa as a viable midfielder for your Serie A fantasy team. The versatile midfielder has a solid 4 goals and 6 assists to his name and is a cheaper option than most midfielders in the division.
Bostjan Cesar is another player we believe will perform well against the Europa League hopefuls. Sassuolo have now gone 6 games without a win and with Berardi not living up to his early season expectations it looks unlikely that a Sassuolo goal will come. Cesar has been one of Chievo's best defenders this season due to sure commitment alone. Although he is prone to getting a card now and again he will surly cause problems for Sassuolo's attack.
Tip 4 � Bolonga to keep a clean sheet.
Both Bologna and Udinese should be in high spirits after both securing draws against Fiorentina and AC Milan. However the defensive duo of
Daniele Gastaldello and
Marios Oikonomou are strong enough to keep out Udinese's attacking threat
. Gastaldello has been a consistent performer for Bologna this season. This year he has already managed to keep clean sheets against AC Milan and Sassuolo. Marios Oikonomou comes back into the side following his suspension and will look to fit straight back in with his defensive partner. Udinese have also been unable to convert chances having only scored 21 goals in the Serie A (the second lowest in the league) so the two defenders should have relatively easy jobs if they can perform when it counts.
Tip 5 � Fiorentina to make a statement against Inter Milan.
While all eyes will be on who will top the league this week there is also the possibility of Inter Milan or even Roma to take hold of 3
rd place. However Fiorentina look set to keep hold of the last champion's league spot. While both teams come off disappointing draws Inter Milan's was particularly shocking. A 3-3 draw again bottom of the league Verona (a team that previous to that game had only scored 16) showed Inter Milan's defensive problems. Along with their lack of quality throughout the entire match, it's hard to see them getting a result against a Fiorentina side that is starting to steady themselves after a poor run of results. With all this in mind we recommend
Federico Bernardeschi. The right midfielder finally scored against Bologna last week after an impressive string of performances. The player has also showed his quality early on in the season and his star performance last match could be the push he needs to reboot his campaign.
