Less than 48-hours after the end of the previous round of fixtures, the festive schedule serves up a Friday evening “treat” as Gameweek 19 gets underway at the KCOM Staidum.

Hull City’s home form could barely be more encouraging for Everton. The only side yet to chalk up a clean sheet in front of their own supporters, the Tigers also boast the joint-worst home scoring record, netting just nine times in as many matches.

Owned by 5% of Fantasy Premier League managers, Robert Snodgrass is clearly the man most likely to do the damage – the Scot has already served up three double-figure hauls at the KCOM.

Wins against Arsenal and Leicester in the last three have reignited Fantasy interest in Ronald Koeman’s men as the Toffees looks to take advantage of some fine winter fixtures.

With three goals in the last four Gameweeks, Romelu Lukaku has proven a more popular transfer target than Sergio Aguero this week, with over 50,000 FPL managers drafting in the big Belgian ahead of tonight’s deadline.

Koeman moves back to a four-man defence this evening after earning just a fourth clean sheet of the season at Leicester City with a three-man backline. Disappointingly, that sees the 4.0 priced Mason Holgate drop the bench and both Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines reverting to traditional full-back roles.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Bad news for Pogba owners?

    5. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

      Another 4.3 choice gone.

    6. Numb
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I thought he might be rested for that one, Pogba deeper and in comes someone like Mata

    Robben is the Dutch Snodgrass

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Robben is fast

      A snail moves quicker than Snodgrass

    Williams, Barkley, Snoddy lets do this!

  7. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Would you take a risk and get Lallana in tonight for Siggy to catch his price rise ?

    Or wait for the matches to end/

  8. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Oh and Williams red card because Ville Ronke has him.

  12. JustPark
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Holgate is actually IN the scout picks! Technical error it must be?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      He's on the bench.

      1. Neeskens Under Matip
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Everton only play back 5 against "good" teams...

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Jags back made Holgate a punt at best.

      2. JustPark
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Not yours then..

    2. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yep and I fell for it-schoolboy error......

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Yet no-one's uttered the word "Lolgate" yet...how strange

      1. Tommy J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I'll take that one on the chin!

  13. Champione
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    No players with ES higher than 100 %. Smooth!

  14. joescores
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    So is Kane dropping tonight or not? I am confused

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Goal Dawson

  15. Neeskens Under Matip
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    2 up top for Hull, going for it...

  16. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Need a Hull goal tonight. The other three of the top four in my league have an Everton defender.

  17. Zareos
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    My strategy is to have a Chelsea defender, a Liverpool midfielder, Sanchez, Costa, Zlatan and Aguero. At present, I only have the exact money to transfer Siggy and Kane for Lallana and Aguero.

    With Kane due to drop and Lallana due to rise, the price changes could scupper that plan. Which would you do:

    A. Siggy and Kane to Lallana and Aguero (-4 and before the games); or
    B. Wait until after the games then bring in Aguero. I wouldn't be able to afford a Liverpool midfielder.

    1. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Take the hit before the price rise...

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Im more for waiting
      With games thick and fast, you never know who's going to be injured

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

      Stick to the plan, always delivered!

  18. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Mbokani hat-trick please.

  19. Twisted Melon
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    A) kun and philips
    B) hazard and siggy

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I am getting Kun and Phillips for next GW
      Already have Hazard though.

      B is safer i guess, assuming swans pick up after the sacking

      1. Twisted Melon
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Currently own B. Cant decide if its worth it

  20. Neeskens Under Matip
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Can't decide between Mirrales or Puncheon as a cheeky enabler...

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Deary me. Not Puncheon.

      1. le flem
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        what's wrong with puncheon if zaha going to afcon?

        1. Numb
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          He's not been very good this season

        2. Glasner Ball
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Agreed, nothing wrong with Punch, he would play as well as Zaha, - pls Zaha doesn't go to afcon until after another 2 games (including Swansea)

  21. mad_beer ✅

    Lukaku captain fail already. 🙁

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      You deserve a fail just for a silly comment like that..

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Fail for captaining

  22. VS10_
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    This is why Kane has gone down to -38%, from fplstats: In addition a percentage of the carryover transfers will be lost at the gameweek changeover for those players who have changed in value in the previous gameweek.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      My fingers are already itching to sell him

    2. Numb
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      That's wrong. He'll drop tonight

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He won't.

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      That carryover thing is new to me.

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I don't get it

    5. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      walcott's fallen right back too.

  23. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Can someone explain the point of the price lock following a flag being removed?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Stops prices rocketing.

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      To give people a chance to know a suspended player is now available.
      I think its a ridiculous rule

  24. Butcher
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Aguero enabler. Want to make the moves tonight due to Kane falling

    A) Benteke, Phillips, Lallana
    B) Rondon, Cabaye, Coutinho

    Please pick one.

  25. Over Midwicket
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Livermore looks up for it

  26. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Cmon you tigers

  27. Ryan Naysmith
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Only consolation for the Holgate mistake is hoping hull score!

  28. Egg noodle
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Rival did Holebas, Kane > Baines, Lukaku
    Could easily go pear shaped.

  29. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    What's the deal with Kane tonight...

    -38% on FPLStats
    -190% on FFFix...

    Is it safe to wait on transfer out to Sergio tomorrow??

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Fri night deadline has confused things

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        We cannot wait, right ?

    2. Numb
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I trust FFFix more

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        They haven't updated their numbers yet and transfer activity is still pre-deadline...

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Will you lose value? Better to wait

    4. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'd wait anyway - anything could happen to Serge

      1. Numb
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        This.

    5. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      On exact pennies for Kane,Siggy>Aguero, Philips.
      I'll probably just wait, and do Origi>Rondon for (-4) if Kane drops.
