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.

    Pep continues to show us all why he's so much better than every other manager out there.

    1. diesel001

      Exactly - this isn't some pushover league like La Liga, Ligue Un or Bundesliga

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

        I actually think those leagues are very tough, but he had the best team in the Bundesliga and Barcelona obviously had sheer quantities of talent for him to work with.

        City don't have players passionate for the club like those two teams, nor fans. They have a lot of mercenaries, many of whom are getting on in age, and few leaders. Much tougher challenge than he anticipated imo.

      Gonna write a stern letter of complaint to FPL.
