Just 24-hours after waving goodbye to Gameweek 19, we’re underway again as the exhausting festive period draws to a close.
In Fantasy terms, we at least appear to be eased into this next round of fixtures.
Middlesbrough host Leicester City in a match-up that, on paper, harbours little interest for Fantasy managers.
Alvaro Negredo and Gaston Ramirez are perhaps the major attacking assets on show, as we get the opportunity to scout their potential ahead of Boro’s kind run of January fixtures.
Given that Middlesbrough have scored just 17 goals from their 19 matches, Aitor Karanka’s defence is perhaps more likely to offer us profit, with Ben Gibson already backed by 9.6% of FPL managers. He starts today but, elsewhere in the Boro rearguard, a knee injury to keeper Victor Valdes keeps him out of action, while George Friend is relegated to the bench having returned to the starting XI at Old Trafford in Gameweek 19.
They are part of five changes made by both Middlesbrough and Leicester, perhaps indication of a turbulent day for the teamsheets.
