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.

    Watching BUR - SUN highlights, I can see why Pickford earned the #1 keeper spot...

    2. Wilshere Knowledge

      A slew of sarcastic comments with an underlying tone of contempt for asking a pointless question.

      😉

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

        Sanchez is due, Kos/Arse will probably concede a silly goal, single assist from Kane, goal from Erik. Happy days.

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

        that was the whole point of asking this question because I rarely get any replies 😛

    I want KDB to get a red card so I can reasonably transfer the mug out.

    Effin' useless.

      He's brutal tonight

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

    The choice:

    Ibra vs West ham
    Or
    Aguero vs Burnley

    This is my dilemma.

  9. Junior ⚽

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

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

      Can.

  10. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Well i guess Origi's one pointer is better than what Holebas woulda given tomorrow...

  11. SUPERMAN
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kun still never scored at Anfield. 🙁

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

    Lot's of big managers not getting Kun...I reckon.

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

      Good good. I'm taking the punt!

    2. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt I will. It would cost me Hazard and a -8.

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

      You going for it or waiting for some form to appear?

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

        Might start the process...not sure if Kun will be part of the mini WC though...

    4. Lawrø
      • 14 Years

      Ville Ronka, who else?

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

        I cant see Mark selling Ibra, Hazard or Alexis...

      2. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Me 😉

        ...Cue a bathing of insults

    Wow that play by the corner flag looked like a game of five year olds

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

    Really thought Origi was going to score when they had that breakaway. Terrible decision pushing it out wide to Firmino.

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

    Have trouble my defence. Cedric and Jones didn't play and Amat at the bench is suspended.

    Save or what to do?

    Current team (1FT, 1.0 itb):

    Heaton
    Cedric/Jones/Holebas
    Sanch/Haz/Mkhtaryan/Siggy
    Ibra/Costa/Origi

    Bench: Pick, Amat, Love, De Roon

  16. The Bandit

    Burnt sausage attack

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

    Replacement for firmino and siggy?
    Tempted to keep firmino against Sunderland, but siggy definitely out .

    1. Jonny Sutt
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fair play, you are defo in the minority not just owning him but also playing him against city.

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

        Had no choice really 😛

  22. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years

    editing suggesting Kompany threw that smoke bomb ?

  23. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Didn't think Pool defence had a performance like this in them.

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

    I'm fairly certain that I'm the only FFSer that can say this :

    Simon Mignolet just got me a clean sheet and possible bonus.

    😎 😎 😎

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

      The only one that will admit owning him on a public forum...

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

        haha!

    2. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Karius --> Mignolet 😆

      Paid off!

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

        😀

  25. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    best 4.5 defender ? apart from Ake
    anyone think friend is back in the team now for upcoming fixtures

  26. Proietti
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How do you know if a players value is going to drop (or rise)?

    Presumably it is based on the number of managers who are selling them BUT how many managers would need to sell the player before the price drops?

    For example, Sigurdssons ownership has dropped by 12,000 is this enough for his value to drop?

    Conversely Ake ownership has risen by 12,000 is this enough for his value to rise?

    Thanks,

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

        That awesome - many thanks

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

    That's 3 CSs in 4 games for klavan. Tempting for 4.6?

  28. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who still thinks Kun is essential? Not having a piss. Genuine question. Imo his form before the suspension wasn't that hot.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think he is. Ibra Sanchez Haz Costa will score well.

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

      What is being essential?

      If you look at his history though he's someone who is fairly consistent.

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

        Not saying he isn't a great goal scorer. Form is an issue. People messing their teams up to get him in. Worth it?

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

      Aye, he was never that good before the suspension. The only reason people had him was reputation and no genuine like for like options in the premium price bracket. But Costa went from strength to strength and Ibra turned up on the scene. Kane might remember how to play football too soon.

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

        Atm it's all about Costa and Obra for me. Kane was dismal in his last few matches. Kun too. Those two standout for me atm. No question.

  29. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Carroll or Negredo as Origi replacement?

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

      Keep Origi for Sunderland.

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

      Im thinking of playing Phillips as my 5th mid instead

  30. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Deciding to WC early. Thoughts on this team?

    Heaton
    Valencia Alonso McAuley
    Phillips Pogba Lallana Hazard Sanchez
    Ibrahimovic Costa

    Robinson, Diomande, Ake, Chambers.

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

      Good
