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.

    How was Rodon today? Thinking about bringing him in. He didn't behave like a donkey did he?

    27 with Sanchez, Kane, Kelly and Rose left isn't bad is it?

    a) Firmino + Phillips
    b) Lallana + Antonio

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

      B

    2. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Lal + Phillips = cheaper + splash the cash elsewhere

  5. Christina.

    Tekkers a must vs SWANS...

    Most Goals conceded, most GA conceded, most BC conceded...etc etc...

    1. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years

    2. JJO

      Just answered you couple pages back.

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

        Punty?

        All inform players at the moment...except Tekkers.

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

          That's the punt. But hey, he could do damage and is a differential.

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

      My VC, as just got the Kun in

    5. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      But what if he takes another penalty? 🙁

    6. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      This. Just had a look at the stats and they're horrendous (if you're a Swans fan)

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

        Willy Wonka still owns Tekkers.

        Good enough for me.

        1. pompeyfan
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Nah, he's miles out of contention, best not follow him

    7. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      He's got the armband for me.

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

      I wish I had a free wildcard this week, so many players I want now and so many schmucks I'd like to ship!

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

    Choose

    A) Brunt Stanislas (5.3 max) Hazard
    Aguero
    B) Chambers Lallana Eriksen Aguero

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

      No need to put aguero in.

          1. Clump
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

      1. Clump
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Bit extreme!

  8. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Best defender for 6.5M or under?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Grey

    2. Crow
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Bellerin or Azpilicueta

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

      Chelsea defenders.

    4. Fernando Torres
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Even with those Chelsea fixtures?!

  9. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    @torres

    Did you get up early to watch the game?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      The world has lots of time zones 😉

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

    KDB gonna be rested against Burnley? I hope not with those City results.

    KDB to Mkhi on trigger.

  11. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    19pts...brutal score to end 2016.

    Eriksen, Kane and San(c)hez to salvage and paper the cracks tomorrow...

    1. Rossamous
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Same three and captain Sanchez left for me too

  12. ManofKent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Why did I play Origi over Philips?

  13. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Alonso assist added?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

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

      Yep

    3. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      really? wow

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

    As an owner not a captainer I still want Sanch to score a couple tomorrow.

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

      Nah, too many of my rivals captained him

  15. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Highest scorer (Ake) benched. Happy new year folk, hope it's better than this one 😀

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

      Should I still keep faith in Can? You are a big believer in him recently.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        He's my fifth mid and I see nobody better. Would probably prefer Cabaye or Phillips as fourth 🙂

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

          It's between Siggy and himself to be shipped out for Phillips.

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I'd sell Siggy

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

              It's really tough I can sell both for a hit and get Pogba in which is quite tempting.

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

    Ship Siggy or Can first?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Can

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Can

  17. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who to lose first? Payet or Siggy?

    Current forward 8

    Payet Siggy philips Alexis Capoue
    Origi Ibra Costa

    1. FPL Mentor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Just did Payet Siggy and Lukaku 》 Lallana Phillips and Aguero.

      1. _Gunner
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        What do you recommend for me?

        Payet to Lallana perhaps?

        1. FPL Mentor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          yeh i would

  18. Clump
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Oops. Causing chaos 🙂

  19. Numb
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Which one to downgrade in order to get Aguero?

    A. Hazard
    B. Firmino
    C. Lallana
    D. Siggy (-4)

    Thanks

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

      D

    2. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      B

    3. Rossamous
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm not jumping on the Aguero wagon quite yet. Of those, I would downgrade Firmino to Phillips if it came down to it

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

        Looks the outstanding captaincy candidate this GW

    4. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      D

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

      Oof. Lucky owner here.

    2. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Definite assist. He was aiming for Costa and the defender hardly changed the flight of the ball at all 😉

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        upwards doesn't count,
        fact.

    3. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      That's hilarious, as an Alonso owner...seen plenty of them not given.

  20. Ziro
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Safe to transfer in Brunt? No injury etc.? (Didn't watch the match)

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

      Could be back IP

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

        CS would be welcome. 😉

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

      Played 10 today apparently.

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      lol, that's ridiculous

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        reply fail @lawro

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      he's fine,
      but with nyom off , there is word he'll be covering FB

  21. Vinyl78LP
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Bitterly disappointed with Rondon's cameo - With Hal doing well, will he get straight back in?

    If Not, its Ibra/Rondon > Aguero/£5.9m or less

    Anything worth a bench warming punt? Afobe ?

  22. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who will do better
    Ibra or Aguero next week.
    Someone pls make this a hot topic

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Need a time machine!

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

      How can anyone possibly know?

  23. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Siggy owners, what's your next move ?

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

      Just got rid for Phillips. The fixtures seamlessly work and it frees up cash

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

        Doing this I guess.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      > Lallana

    3. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Instant switch to Lallana. No brainer

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

        Most of us have Lallana! But yes, if he doesnt have Sanchez or Lallana..go for them.

        1. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I have firmino.
          That's the problem.
          Will take Walcott after gw20 for him.
          Can't find replacement for siggy. Have Phillips

      2. n-doggg
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Not if you have firm

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Already got Phillips and Lallana so no clue, might just keep, players always score when people get rid on masse 😀

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        en masse excuse my french

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

      I might even keep and save the free transfer.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        What is it that makes you keep him?

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

          His high goal involvement and he's on everything... not the worst fixture. I'll ship him the following week for sure, I'd just like some more information and I may have bigger issues!

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

    My new front 8..

    Sanchez, Lallana, Hazard, Phillips, De Roon,
    Aguero, Zlatan, Benteke

    mmmm

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ditch Siggy? I've just done the same

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

        Yeah Siggy and Kane just left 🙂

        think it makes sense!

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      My front 8.
      Sanchez,Hazard,Mkhitarian,Lallana,DeRoon
      Ibrahimovic,Costa,Rondon

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Nice

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

      Sanchez, Lallana, Hazard, Phillips, Capoue
      Costa Ibra, Benteke

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years

  25. TokyoRisingSun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    First Gray scores, next Capoue will probably knock in a couple tomorrow.

    1. 824545201
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      If only Redmond wasn't suspended.

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Don't want this to happen
      Capoue my first sub

  26. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Anichebe to

    A. Carroll
    B. Rondon

    I have Phillips

  27. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Any need for Aguero v Burnley. City looked awful

  28. 824545201
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who will win the cup round:
    A) Zaha, Prodl + 3 points
    B) Alli

  29. Demel
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    None of you can quite understand the joy and adulation of what I have just done.

    I made the transfer.

    THE transfer!!!

    Capoue > De Roon.

    Catch the price rise.

    Drop the mic

    Happy New Year!
