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.

    Sold Walcott to Coutinho (C) -4 🙁

    Really hope Wally misses out due to the baby now!

      May all your differentials get benched.

    Coutinho to Mahrez is the hipster transfer of the week.

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

      Penahrez

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

        They all count the same...

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

      Looking at him or Mata

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

      Pricey

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

      Real hipsters got in Mahrez yesterday before he was cool.

  3. liiusions

    Loads of people saying ditch all Liverpool players are stupid, we're missing our 2 best players here. If Suarez and Gerrard were on this pitch we'd comfortably be winning

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Come next week, Gerrard might be.

    2. makaveli123
      • 9 Years

      M'kay

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

    Can someone explain to me why Alonso and Azpi are expected to rise tonight when they have Man City away next? (Fixtures turn after that so why not just wait a week?)

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

      Casuals

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

      Because casuals be casuals

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lots of transfer in;

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

      casual players look at form / points per game / total points and they have kept 6 clean sheets in a row... fixtures aren't as evident in the stats tables as points...

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

      Because there aren't conceding goals.

    6. RMA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Because transfers in from before deadline do count as well? 🙂

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

    ➡️ Adama Diomande On
    ⬅️ Ryan Mason Off

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

    Anyone doing Lukaku and Coutinho to Kane and Siggy?

    I just thought of these moves!!!!

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      lol

  7. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Some Coutinho options:

    1) Walcott - 2 bad fixtures in the next 10, risk of rotation with Ramsey/Cazorla/Giroud all vying for a place?

    2) Siggy - Talismanic for Swansea, excellent form, dead ball duties

    3) Pedro - couple of rough fixtures but then hits a nice run. Recently lauded by Conte as 'perfect' for the 3-4-3 system

    Other possiblities: Matty Phillips, Wilf Zaha, Henrik Mkhi?... Any others?

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, all the other midfielders.

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        lol

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

      How can you miss Mata?

    3. Kroosin'
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mata ?

  8. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    As a pool fan and Coutinho captainer I feel sick
    Need an Origi goal

  9. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Brought in Coutinho and captained him this GW.

    Very happy with my 2pts.

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

      So it's your fault 😡 😉

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

        Always is 😛

    2. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      At least it wasn't for -4

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

    Coutinho to Lallana could be good if he is fit for next week

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

      Yes

  11. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I'm pretty good with choosing captains:

    This week obviously Coutinho (2 points in total)
    Last week: Lukaku (4)
    GW 11: Kun (12) 😮
    GW 10: Deeney (4)
    GW 9: Kun (2)
    GW 8: Kun (-2)
    GW 7: Sanchez (6)

    Over 7 weeks that amounts to 28 points meaning the captain has averaged a haul of 2 points every week, which has been nicely doubled into 4 points.

    Takes some doing that.

  12. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How is Mane playing?

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

      Rubbish

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Garbage

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

      Been OK. Been in a few promising positions, and more so than Firmino IMO

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

        *Obviously he loses possession quite a bit, but that's most gameweeks. ^ is from an attacking standpoint

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks guys. Just came home and checked the results, nothing is going according to plan again.

  13. balint84
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    who suggested Coutinho for captain?
    🙁

    1. balint84
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Burn this site!!

    2. Taz Maniac
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Feeling the same way. A lot throughout the previous articles. Well at least i did not sell Aguero. Those Top FPL1000 must be kicking themselves hard.

  15. Jam0sh

    Hello guys. Thoughts about this:

    Lukaku, Allen and Coutinho -> Kane, Phillips and Sigurdsson (-4)

    1. Jay_
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Leave Allen in, do the others for free, Allen could have a field day next week v BUR

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

      I think Coutinho has broken his ankle.

      1. Team Cruel

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

      Who on the scoutcast had Negredo as their fantasy island risk?

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Tbf, if anyone got the chance to pick about 15 players every week, they'd be doing badly not to get one right.

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

      Looked like a broken foot or at least serious ankle ligament damage for Couthinho. Poor guy,in scintillating form.

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

        Are you a doctor in the same way Dr. Dre is a doctor ?

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

          I've been to medical school but never finished! So,yeah,more like Dr. Dre.
