A Gameweek that has delivered modest returns so far, continues at pace with an tea-time encounter of some promise.

Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield, with Fantasy managers on alert and on a scouting mission as Sergio Aguero makes a return from a four-match ban to lead the attack for Pep Guardiola’s men.

There’s also a significant change in the Reds line-up, as manager Jurgen Klopp brings Emre Can into his starting XI, shifting Roberto Firmino back to the central striker role, with Divock Origi dropping to the bench.

The Belgian went into Gameweek 19 found in more than 434,000 FPL squads having provided four goals and two assists in his last six appearances.

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

    I habe 2.5 itb.....So remove Siggy for someone like Phillips and save some more money for the future or buy someone premium.....Mind you i may want some money to upgrade Costa or Ibra to Kun,,,,,

  13. bojack
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Origi's looked lively. If he starts against Moyes I see goals.

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I hope he does. I really dont want to take a hit to get him out

    2. Spencer

      Think he will Bo?

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      siggy --> lallana certainly isnt a knee jerk for me

    2. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Got Pickford, Amat, Anichebe and no Liverpoo or Aguero so yes unfortunately.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      I am desperately trying not to but ...

  15. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    De Bruyne having one of those "HOW much did they pay for him?" games.

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i knew mourinho was right about de bruyne 😉

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        In fairness, he blows very hot and cold 😛

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yeah kdb is useless. wijnaldum is the best mifeilder in the league 😉

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        My vote still goes for Depay

  16. Richd
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If Lallana bends one in now, i'm gonna explode!!!

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's what she said.

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Even though my rivals have him. Please that would be great. Another Liverpool goal would be a god send

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he will bend one in with his missues tonight after the victory 😀

    It feels wrong getting Kun.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      lol

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Stats favor the likes of Ali, Pogba, Eriksen.

    2. ONE PUNCH MAN
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      just pull the trigger and let him take care ,i did the same lol

  18. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ah Navas, yeah, he'll sort this

  19. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    City's tactic of fitting crosses at their midget frontmen isn't very inspiring.

    Liverpool going to get a jammy 1-0 win here.

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jammy? City been a bit rubbish

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing jammy about it

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Been outplayed in the second half.

    3. George James
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hardly jammy (Chelsea fan)

    4. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not really jammy

  21. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Think Aguero + Costa with United and Spurs mids to 'cover' Ibra and Kane is the way to go. Also, Hazard isn't worth the money and needs to be sold.

    1. Blunderland
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What are you talking about? Hazard has returned 10 and 5 in the last 2 weeks. Chill out he's getting you points and on pens. What's the fuss. Also has the ability to explode.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed, he's looked very good but it's Spurs away next and it's just hard to accommodate both him and Costa. I think it's safe to say Costa is a season keeper.

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He has 42

  23. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Milner is having a monster season.

  24. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can't believe how bad this game has been.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Really poor. Was hoping for much more.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        They haven't even given us a chance to laugh at Bravo or Mignolet. 🙁

    2. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Silva has been good?

  25. Jay_

      Anichibe hamstring.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ugh. Everything is leading me towards a shift to 3-4-3.

      2. MidTableFantasy
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Probably better off not playing anyways

    • _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A. Siggy -> Lallana
      B. Siggy -> Philips and upgrade Amat/Holebas with the spare.

      Heaton / Pickford
      Baines / Jones / Evans / Holebas / Amat
      Sanchez / Eriksen / Siggy / Hazard / Allen
      Ibra / Costa / Origi

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Pep master plan is bring on navas

    • The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Replacement for siggy?
      Budget 7.4

      1. Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Phillips seems the obvious replacement.

    • Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is this a title breaker for city??

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No

      2. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nah that happened a while ago

    • FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How the hell does someone not score with as many attacking players as Man city against Liverpool? Using a ball playing goalkeeper.
