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.

    Liverpool seem to have found a new gear...

    1. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      a better one or worse?

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Reverse?

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

      Hopefully that will end up in a firmino brace

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

    Mane is sloppy in possession

  3. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Simpson assist?

  4. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So... Coutinho to Siggy?

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

      That looks on the cards for me now with Lukaku to Kane with the funds.

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

        Whats your score so far Mark??

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

        I thought you were selling Aguero this week? 😆

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

        Exactly the transfers I'm looking at doing. Will be very popular trades this week I think

      4. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        With 2 free transfers I may do the exact same transfer

      5. FPL Panda
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Taking the -4 to do lukaku to Kane mark as well?

        I'm weighing it up myself. Will prob do the cou > siggy move tonight

      6. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Wow. My funds just enough to do Coutinho + Lukaku to Siggy + Kane. So Coutinho to Siggy first? Or do the transfers before price rises?

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho injured or ?

  5. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    When will Lallana be back?

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

      Klopp has remained vague - said 2-3 matches and this is his second match missed.

      1. StalkingDwarf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That's reassuring if he's back soon. Liverpool will be missing Coutinho, and missing both could ruin them.

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds like he's back for the Bournemouth game

  6. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sell Liverpool assets, I repeat sell they have lost form

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

      No Lallana

  7. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    come on firmino just one waffer thin goal!!

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

    Going JEvans over McAuley at the start of the season is becoming a worse call by the week

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

      I benched Evans the other 2 times Mac scored so hasn't been too bad up until now

  9. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    It's not all bad for Fuchs. He has 2 interceptions so his chance of bonus isn't absolute zero 😉

  10. greghammer95
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mixed emotions this gw and it's not even 4pm Saturday.

    Kept Aguero yesterday but opted for cout captain over firmino. Slight sting but captaincy points are beyond me this season.

    As cout got taken off McAuley scored.

    I love fantasy football.

  11. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Walker Lukaku to Cedric/McCauley Kane -4?

    Would captain Kane if I do this, Lukaku if not

  12. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Fuchs YC, Coutinho (C), ML rival gets a McCauley goal, Aguero (C) because he forgot to change it...this is such a unenjoyable GW again.

    Hoping for lots from my Ibra (C).

  13. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Just came back online to see the Coutinho injury. Sucks...

    In other news. Leicester really can't keep clean sheets. For Fuchs sake

  14. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Fuchs has got to be my worst ever transfer

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

      Same. Especially when I opted for him over Alonso

  15. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Here's hoping for a Kane hattrick I need it

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

      He will mate. Don't worry. Costa will get a red card and Kane hatrick ; )

  16. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Morgan ->
    A) Alonso
    B) Cedric

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Cedric, then Alonso the week after if possible 😀

  17. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Someone jinx WBA CS.

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't. Mcauley is getting that 15 pointer .

  18. AFlynny
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero (C), Siggy and McAuley so far!

    Was kind of hoping Aguero blanked so my decision on whether to get Kane in was a little easier...... decisions decisions

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same and Phillips assist

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You were hoping Aguero would blank as your captain? That's a bit odd.

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

      You were hoping your captain blanked ? Stop talking so much trash

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Lol

      2. AFlynny
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        In the sense that it would've made Kane + Cout in for Aguero + Bolasie a slightly easier decision. But looks like Cout's injury has decided that for me

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

          You was not hoping for your captain to blank end of....

  19. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    i want to sell Lukaku, Fuchs, gundogan, coutinho, Allen

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

      Sell them then.

  20. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Early coutino replacment alli.?

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

      Walcott?

  21. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Zaha 5 consecutive attacking returns. How did that happen?!

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

      They've been getting tonked so under the radar

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

    Has Firmino even had a shot

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

      A couple. He looks good. Some good pass s, too. Team is stymied a bit by Sunderland wall of defenders. Coutinho outbursts, too, but they were a bit off kilter for most of the first half.

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

    Any promise from Snodgrass and Hull?

  24. Fozzy_b_
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Any other Stones owners wondering what to do?

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

      Getting shot, no time for that

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

      Don't own him but you should probably sell, rotation and ineffectiveness are a bad combination.

    3. Fozzy_b_
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      My view is that as long as there is a decent 4.5m then can sub them in if doesn't play

    4. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I own Stones but a few bigger issues potentially (Gundogan - monitoring Lukaku - monitoring Walcott) if either Walcott or Lukaku score this weekend and regain form I will likely focus on Stones/Gundogan otherwise I am happy - even if he drops to 4.9M - to keep Stones a few more weeks as now that CL qualification is secured I expect him to start consistently and a team of City's quality can keep a clean sheet eventually, so not "urgent" to remove, in my opinion. My midfield is out of form so will likely focus my efforts there - Hazard - Firmino - Walcott* - Gundogan* - de Roon.

    5. Ephurion
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I don't own him, but if I did I would swap to WBA (Brunt/McAuley) or Cedric.

  25. villian-ty
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    COutino and Lukaku to Kane and Siggy. Easy transfers

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      wish I could do it with Walcott and Lukaku. have 2 FTs.

  26. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So what is your Coutinho plan?

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

      Wait for news.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He's definitely out for some weeks. Looked so painful.

        1. JIM BOB
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          There's no point saying stuff like this.

          'Definitely out for weeks'......potentially, yes. Let's just wait for official news though

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

      Transfer with Stones. He looked in agony.

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wait for news

    4. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not very hopeful. Didn't look good

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

      Eriksen

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

      Siggy or Mata

    7. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pedro and double up with Haz (with Siggy and Firmino)

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

    Firmino has been ok. He can fire at any time which I hope he does very soon

  28. SuperMario
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Not doing Fuchs & Allen to Nyom & Siggy hurts

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

      Yeah, I thought about that one, too, but resisted. Oh well.

  29. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy might rise tonight. Will need to make 2 transfers to get him in. Not feeling great about using both transfers before midweek matches. Should I hold off until after the Spurs match, or is Siggy fixture proof?

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

      Could score a fk against anyone

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

      Pretty much fixture proof and good fixtures after next week

  30. jmcclory123
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    going to need a -8 to fix this
