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.

    Kightly + Hazard -> Phillips + Ozil -4 ?

    Anichebe got injured. Will transfer out Sigurdsson after the next gmw.

    Tired of Hazard and I feel that Ozil kan outscore Hazard in the next 4-5 gameweeks.

    Ozil-Siggy-Eriksen-Sanchez-Phillips
    Costa-Zlatan

    Help please:)

        He was just dead on my bench.

        Same reaction I had 🙂 Wolves flashback!

  2. Demel

    9 years, 1 month 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!

    1. SuperMario

      Lol

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

      Did this a couple of weeks ago. It makes perfect sense.

      Happy new year!!

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

        0.3m in the bank to upgrade either my 3rd choice defender Holebas. Or my 4th choice defender Taylor.

        I kind of own everyone else I need.

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

          I have Holebas and Taylor too.. Do you also have Amat?!

          It's messy.

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

            I sure do. With Brunt and Sir Leighton for company.

  3. Greenbackbøøg…

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance of Lallana being rested vs Sunderland?

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Unusual for him to play 90 mins as he did today, so this is a fear of mine.

  4. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Good oul Conor well above the average who would have doubted him
    I will give you 3 guesses who his 3rd sub is coming in for Vert?

      Shawcross played.

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

        Does this mean Sanchez is benched tomorrow? 😆

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry so he did
        Knowing this guys luck Sanchez will be a no show tomorrow

    2. 824545201
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thought it was Phillips, turns out it's much better.

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not Gray

    4. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez to miss out with flu

    5. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If Gray had come in that would have been obscene

  5. SuperMario
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gents, those of you planning to ship Kane for Kun are you waiting for tomorrow to see him play or doing it now???

    Tempted to see how he goes..

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What if he gets a Hattie?

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Waiting to see of course. I think we may be overestimating the amount that Kun will really score

  6. Bampot Co.
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    GW 21 Sigurdsson, Zaha out for who?

    GW 23 Azpilicueta, Hazard out for who?

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

      Phillips and .......
      Brunt and Walcott

  7. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Kane -> Ibra or Sergio?!

  8. Phil Dagger ⭐

    Alonso Walker Jones Ake Amat

    any advice on this?
    can be any number of transfers ideas

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

      Replace siggy for someone.
      When you decide on someone please do inform me

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

        I am getting lallana definitely for siggy
        don't know if to get Phillips too or not for eriksen or hazard and free up cash for kun

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's a good team--I'd tell you to roll it over if you could

      Amat> Taylor or Fernandez ($.3 woulda got you Nyom)

      Or get Defoe6.9 mid but then you're making two changes

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

    Gaston Ramirez rested today or just not first choice?

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

      Probably rested

  10. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Phillips so not starting next match...

    But I need him.

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

      Why's he not starting ?

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Due to rest, played full 90 previous 2

  12. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Was A.smith dropped or rested today? I dont see howe changing the backline as its doing well so i presume smith is rotation risk in the right mid spot?

  13. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    \I guess now Aguero bandwagon is derailed. Good be a big differential

    1. boc610
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he looked rustier than an old penny

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not stopping me from getting him

    Insane to bank the FT here until things become a little clearer after next gameweek? 🙁

    Heaton
    Alonso, Jones*, Brunt
    Sanchez, Mane*, Eriksen, Sigurdsson*
    Zlatan, Costa, Origi*

    Pickford*, McAuley, Capoue, Amat*

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

      Jones will play. Bailly off to AFCON

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

        Cheers I had overlooked that and thought it was the following fixture!

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

      I think I am banking too, was all set on a -4 for Aguero but tonight puts me off & no other standout fixtures

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

    46 with Alexis and Walcott/capoue to go.Happy with that for a change.

    1. boc610
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      shameless points post brag

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

        To be honest I've had very few ops to brag this season.Allow me this one.

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    2 free transfers. 0 m in bank. Thinking Siggy to Phillips and carry 1 free (subject to tomorrow-) but concerned he may get rested. Chelsea v Spurs a bit player heavy. What change would you make?

    Heaton
    Alonso Toby Nyom
    Hazard Ozil Siggy Eriksen
    Kane Ibra Origi

    Pickford De Roon Ake VVD

  20. tm370
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Hazard, sig, origi - Philips, lallana, and Costa plus 0.8 in bank (-4)
    B) sig and origi - lallana and Rondon
    C) sig for lallana (carry one transfer over)

    1. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Surely benteke for 3rd striker?

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I can't afford him

  21. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years

    Watching "Captain Phillips"
    It's a sign.

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's a sign it's time to turn over

      Not a great film

  22. Defochibe
    • 16 Years

    Siggy allen to philips lallana for -8?

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

      No

  23. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather have Aguero and Pogba or Zlatan and Pogba?

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

      Why not just ask Aguero or Zlatan

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cause people take 'cover' into consideration. I don't believe in it myself, but cover has worked in recent weeks apparently.

    2. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero and pogba

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

      Aguero (c)

    4. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And Pogba

    5. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kun n pogba
