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 know its very early to be saying this... But jeez Aguero does not look worth 12.8 in this setup.

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

      And then he bangs in 2 on 3 on Monday

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You'd like to think so, for 12.8m!

    How's Sergio been experts?? Missed the game due to family commitments 🙁

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      See above 🙂

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

      Family commitments seems preferable.

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

      Be grateful, it's been crap

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haha! Thanks all

  3. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso just had an assist added?!

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

      Never in doubt.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      A while ago.

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

      😆

      What a joke. I guess he had high enough ownership for it...

    4. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry poor Internet in a packed pub watching Pool!

      Good to see

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

    Best option for forseeable future?

    A. Rondon

    B. Benteke

    C. Origi

    1. soup natsi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Should be B

    2. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably B

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

      B for me

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

      A

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same headache mate, here we are again at the 3rd striker cross roads.

      Everyone will say Benteke, but I still need convincing on that. Gonna keep Origi for Sunderland and then decide over the mini break.

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

        I have Benteke and I think your right. He was awful last game. Almost clueless.

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

        Anichebe has returned to his normal state of fitness so need to make a call this weekend...Tekkers probably losing pens and Zaha going is putting me off slightly as well

  5. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lovren -> Jones not looking like one of my best transfers...

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Tough week though isn't it...!

  6. Mario Balofail
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I've posted about Alonso and his rare zero...but I was wrong. He got an assis! Yay!

  7. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any help with this would be appreciated!

    A) mcauley and stanislas
    B) Evans and Phillips

    1. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      McAuley & Phillips not possible ?

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It's not unfortunately... so annoying.

        With that in mind, what way would you go?

        1. Clifford☯
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Go for option A then. Bournemouth have a nice run of games coming up.

        Thanks.

  8. Dacra

    Worth a hit to get rid of siggy?

    Foster (Pickford)
    Alonso - Jones - Evans (Amat, Chambers)
    Sanchez - Lallana - Mane - Siggy (de Roon)
    Aguero - Ibrahimovic - Carroll

    0ft

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

      no

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not for a hit he could easily score against palace....

      Who would you be bringing in?

  9. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So Mourinho won his first 4 league games with utd... And his last 5 with them... Only for that sticky patch in between they'd be right up there with chelski!

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's like saying: "If Arsenal didn't lose their games they did and won them instead, they'd be up there".

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        True dat

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like a Michael Owen statement;

      "If that went in, that would of been a goal"

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

    I cannot believe with the attacking talent at peps disposal they seem to be so poor.

    It's easy to win with messi, Suarez and neymar.

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

      He didn't have Neymar or Suarez. 😆

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

        Lol. Your right. But you get the gist.

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

        Still easy to win with them. For all you know it was an entirely unrelated sentence. 😉

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

          One day you'll make a spelling mistake, and I'll be right there to correct you.

          I will have my revenge. 👿

    2. ONE PUNCH MAN

      true but players need to step up

  11. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gotta admit that Matip(free) free and Klavan for 4.2m are not bad deals.

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    There's no better feeling than getting a late assist added.Thank you fpl.

  13. Back on the horse

    Did Mane to Lallana this week to fund Pickford to Heaton. Great story,bro.

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

      Smart 🙂

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

    I don't see how this Man City is different from Pellegrini's. Bringing on Navas to cross, play Aguero, de Bruyne and Yaya every match.

  15. pjomara
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone bringing in wba or palace players for the next gw ? Deciding on 2 from Philips, Zaha, Rondon, Benteke

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

      I own Benteke and will be getting Phillips

  16. Richd
    • 13 Years

    Lukaku just had an assist added for November 2012 vs Sunderland!

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Standard for Lukaku.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That was Rooneys assist

  19. Tommyg

    You know it's a bad week when the highlight is a dodgy assist given to a defender.

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

      It's so true, and Lallana assist seems like a hattrick.

      Kane could be a huge differential tomorrow!

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

        So could Sanchez. Imagine if he scores. It will be carnage in these parts.

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

          I feel that Sanchez (c)'s will for sure.

          Just owning Kane is enough haha

        2. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Do we not all own him?

  20. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Barry should have his assist added soon

  21. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years

    That Alonso assist, thank you.

    3 - Wijnaldum (33)
    2 - Lovren (27)
    1 - Mignolet, Zabaleta (26)

      Lallana? How!

  26. Junior ⚽

    Bottled Can to Philips for a hit this week.
    Should I sell Siggy or Can for him first?

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

    I think it was a warning for Ibra non owners today, I think I need to bring him in somehow, looks dangerous as f.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's involved in everything

  28. Jazz!
    • 11 Years

    (c) fail, ah well.

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

    If Aguero doesn't look like scoring against this defence is he worth it?

  30. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sold Clyne for Baines this week. Meh.

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

      Probably good for the long term

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Baines got a good score?

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I know, just with Liverpool conceded so it doesnt look like such a sideways move

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Wish even
