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.

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

    Sold Clyne for Baines this week. Meh.

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Probably good for the long term

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Baines got a good score?

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

        i could do with that .lol

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

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

      😉

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months 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
        8 years, 11 months ago

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

      He's brutal tonight

  10. Tommyg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    The choice:

    Ibra vs West ham
    Or
    Aguero vs Burnley

    This is my dilemma.

  11. 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Can.

  12. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

  13. SUPERMAN
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Kun still never scored at Anfield. 🙁

  14. Christina.
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Good good. I'm taking the punt!

    2. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

    3. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

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

    4. Lawrø

      Ville Ronka, who else?

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

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

      2. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years

        Me 😉

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

  16. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

  17. GE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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

  18. The Bandit

    Burnt sausage attack

  19. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years

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

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years

  24. Bellerinmondo

    editing suggesting Kompany threw that smoke bomb ?

  25. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

  26. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        haha!

    2. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Karius --> Mignolet 😆

      Paid off!

      1. RoysCallerAnne

  27. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

  28. Proietti
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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
        8 years, 11 months ago

        That awesome - many thanks

  29. pjomara
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

  30. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      What is being essential?

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

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months 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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months 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
        8 years, 11 months 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.
