With Sergio Aguero delivering for the 21% who handed him the armband, it’s now over to Gameweek 13’s supporting cast to keep pace.

Liverpool’s assets will lead the chase. Jurgen Klopp’s side take on Sunderland at Anfield with much expected of both Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino. They are part of an unchanged Reds XI and are backed by 11% and 4% of FPL managers with the armband.

Elsewhere, Fantasy interest is somewhat limited in this afternoon’s other three matches.

West Brom go in search of a third successive victory as they drop in on Hull City at the KCOM Stadium, while Gylfi Sigurdsson auditions for a role in our festive line-ups as he and Swansea City host Crystal Palace at the Liberty Stadium.

Finally, Leicester City’s fading Fantasy assets take on Middlesbrough at the King Power, as both Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy bid to revive domestic form and perhaps blink back on our radars once again.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      They're s*** I imagine

  5. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Please get sent off Fuchs so I have to sell you

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You can sell him without him getting sent off.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yes but then he will play against Sunderland and will probably punish me

  6. matiakez
    • 15 Years

    Still fancy firmino to bail me out. Come on lad!

      This.

      You all knew he was injury prone. Thats why i chose firmino and didnt even think twice about a double up

  8. EspanYOLO

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I changed channels to the Swansea game, and when I came back I just saw all the medical people on the ground and thought - Please not Coutinho.

    Can't wait to sell Morgan, waste of space in my squad!

      Foot / toe injury, I think. Maybe metatarsal?

    2. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 19 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty nasty. He was clearly in a lot of pain and his foot was braced on the stretcher. Could be metatarsal.

        • 15 Years

        Still selling Sergio?

      Top 5 in my mini league captained Aguero apart from me.

    FPL aside, Matip oozes class.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      need to get that seen to

      Mylene?

    4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Matip is a really good player. Same size as mertesacker yet he moves so easily and has decent pace.

  14. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    McAuley over Brunt was such a good WC decision.

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      🙂

      Mc has been a treat, had him for ages

  15. twoplustwo

    Cout Stones Gundo

    Mini wildcard time

  16. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Just realised that Coutinho's injury means one of Fuchs or Redmond is going to be stinking up my team next week.

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Redmond is on my watch list...

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Really?

        1. twoplustwo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Rude fixtures coming.

          Also Matt Le Tiss was very complimentary on TalkSport recently having seen some training sessions.

  17. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Not going to pretend I was going to captain Aguero, because I wasn't. I really wanted to captain hazard though. Frustrating if firm blanks but if it means Sunderland get a result I'll be happy.

  18. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Why did I play Fuchs over Pieters! feeling bad already..
    More so with my captain already off! :'(

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Obvious decision. Dont be daft.

    2. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Played Fuchs over Evans, was tempted by that apparent attacking threat.

    3. Eskimooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Because it's the correct decision , when are people going to realise the most logical decisions don't always accumulate the most points ....

  19. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Cout to Siggy is a nice option to save some cash should Phil have a bad injury.

  20. EspanYOLO
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho (c) feels a thousand times worst when you are a Liverpool fan. Worst ever.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Still look for Liverpool cover with Mane if you don't have anyone else

      1. EspanYOLO
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I have Firmino so won't need Mane.

        I honestly think we will be ok without Coutinho, just have to hope Lallana is back soon.

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I hope he's alright

  21. twoplustwo

    Mahrez!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If anyone has him...

      Here!

      1. twoplustwo

        Wow really? Nice.

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers, got him yesterday. Form was a little under the radar, fixtures look good.

  22. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    It looks like a Firmino (c) fail

    1. Eskimooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It's 45 minutes in .....do one

      1. Hands Guber
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I like your style cowboy.

  23. Hands Guber
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho (C) made most sense this week, you just can't legislate for the randomness of injury.

    Always a little braver having the (C) on someone without penalties in their back pocket to dig them out.

    Very unlucky.

  24. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Why hasn't Coutinho been flagged?

  25. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What type of injury is that for Coutinho? Looks seriously?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Foot

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Looked pretty bad. Broken toe maybe

    3. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ligament at the front of the ankle

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That's my guess. More around the ankle.

  26. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy bandwagon imminent.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

  27. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    hope robinson is good enough replacement for heaton while hes out...........

  28. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Cout -> Siggy next gw then..

  30. Grounderz

    Not watching the game at the mo but who's more threatening between Cout and Firm?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho got stretchered off

    2. GuillermoDickero
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino as Coutinho isn't on the pitch

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho is off.

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    5. Les Bleus
