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.

    Thinking of doing Kane, Siggy, Antonio, VVD > Aguero, Phillips, Lallana, Jones .... -8 hit but I think it's worth it. 0.5itb

    Thoughts??

    1. A.T
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good

    2. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Like all those moves

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Good moves

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Keep in mind chance that Lallana and Phillips may be on bench after playing full games todsy

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks guys! Yeah scared of the rotation risk but makes my team look a lot better

  2. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Do we think Origi will start against Sunderland? I had been planing to ditch for Aguero but not so sure now..
    .

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. I think so too, and Sunderland were awful today.

  3. AA33
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Perfect farewell from Lovren 🙂

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Why get rid

      1. AA33
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Downgrading for Aguero.

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Last game for me too.

  4. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Cheers, lads.

    Anichebe to Barnes to afford Siggy to Lallana for free?

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Aye

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No brainer

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

      looks good

    4. AA33
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    5. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks lads. Holding on to Siggy cost me 0.2 short instead of doing it earlier without the need of sacrificing others.

  5. You Must Be Jokin Ere
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is the Alonso assist dodgy? What happened?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Non-owner - it's dodgy, but if FPL want to give then so be it.

      1. You Must Be Jokin Ere
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        The high % owned normally get the benefit......did you see it? Deflection?

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

    Sanchez hazard eriksen siggy
    2ft
    going to do siggy to Lallana

    where to fit in Phillips though ? 😮

    1. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Phillips for Siggy. Costa/Kane to Aguero

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

        strikers are Ibra costa Origi

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Are you keeping Origi?

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

            yes
            hazard downgrade can make way for origi to kun though

    2. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think you have to fit in Phillips

    3. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      3-5-2

  7. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A. Siggy -> Lallana
    B. Siggy -> Philips and upgrade Amat/Holebas with the spare.

    Heaton / Pickford
    Baines / Jones / Evans / Holebas / Amat
    Sanchez / Eriksen / Siggy / Hazard / Allen
    Ibra / Costa / Origi

    Cheers

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B

  8. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio > 6.7 m ?

    Have Phillips

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      is Allen a good move for Antonio or save

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd keep Antonio

    3. FPL Mentor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Id punt on Stanislas n save 1.6m.

      Snoddy another option

  9. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    when it will be certainly cleared that nyom will go to afcon or not ?

  10. white lightning
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do:
    Cedric & Siggy out - Ake & Lallana in for free-0itb so need to downgrade Cedric to afford Lallana.

    With gw20 just around the corner do these trades now to catch Lallana's price rise.

    Thanks.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Cedric will play gw20. Nice move nonetheless

      1. white lightning
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate. With VVD red carded & suspended & Soton poor on the road I can't see any reason to keep Cedric.

  11. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years

    Im looking for bring Siggy Origi to Phillips Benteke for -4.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I'd do that

  12. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    One final question: you think Jones will start next?

    1. AA33
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

    Need some ideas/ help please. 2FT 0.3 ITB

    Foster/ Pickford
    Alonso/ Jones/ Holebas/ McCauley/ Amat
    Sanchez/ Hazard/ Siggy/ Firmino/ Fletcher
    Ibra/ Costa/ Origi

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Siggy to Lallana, and/or
      Original to Rondon

      1. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Already have 3 WBA unfortunately

  15. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any of these worth getting rid of for Kun?

    A. Costa (No Hazard)
    B. Ibra (whm)
    C. Rondon (HULL, -4)

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      none worth tbh

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No

    3. Evil_Ash
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No, but maybe Rondon after Hull?

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Definitely looking to do Rondon to Kun after Hull. Just wondering if a hit is worth it this week considering the Hull game

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Ibra, if you can get Pogba/Mkhi for someone else worth selling could work. Costa is a season keeper imo.

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        This is also something I was considering. Ibra's fixtures are still good and was unlucky not to get more today. Agree re Costa

  16. rohan
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Safe to transfer Brunt in ?

    1. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yup

    2. Defochibe
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Just did cedric to brunt

  17. white heart pain
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A) Siggy Firmino Anichebe > Lallana Philips Tekkers
    B) A) Siggy Firmino Anichebe > Sterling Philips Tekkers

    Would look like:
    Heaton
    Alonso Jones Evans
    Haz Sanchez Lallana Philips
    Costa Ibra Tekkers

    Pickford Can Pieters Amat

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A, then try get Aguero for Costa soon 🙂

      1. white heart pain
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Done. Yes Kun planning begins

      2. white heart pain
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I like Tekkers and Philips fixtures with Lallana for pool cover

        1. Defochibe
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Planning siggy allen to philips lallana, what do u think?

          1. white heart pain
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Do it Siggy has been a terrible buy for me. Allen has good fixtures too though but if you have frees Philips

    2. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Heaton
      Bellerin Valencia Jones
      Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Lallana
      Ibra Lukaku Origi

      Pickford Holebas De Roon Amat

      A) Origi > Benteke
      B) Haz + Origi > Phillips + Costa -4

      1. Champione
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        reply fail..

        Definitely A imo. 3 good moves

      2. white heart pain
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Just A - if you can stand kaku's form

        1. Champione
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          will give him next match to show that he's worth a place in my team. Not having Costa against Spurs isn't a crisis

          1. white heart pain
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Agree happy new year!

  19. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Not sure too many on here admit their mistakes, but I've made one.

    Mannone was a horrendous pick. A differential too far. Going to swallow my pride and get in Grant already.

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Grant is on loan from Derby, so wait and see if he signs permanantly.

  20. mr messi
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Capoue and Pickford to De Roon and Randolph? I need a playing keeper.

  21. James101
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Scored 30 plus bps (Sanchez and Eriksen to come)

    But with 21 points on the bench assuming both S and E play.

    Got to love this game...

  22. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I am going for some beers
    Happy new years to all of ye 🙂

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't do Firmino to Coutinho, too sideways, besides Firmino should get better returns anyways from Cout's return

  27. Champione

    Heaton
    Bellerin Valencia Jones

    Valdes
    Holebas - Pieters - Jones
    Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - Phillips
    Costa - Ibra - Defoe
    (Jaku, Barry, Van Dijk, Amat)

    1. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Good team. Eriksen > Coutinho in a few weeks maybe? Not a big fan of Holebas myself, so would try to find a better defender to play soon

  30. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is mikhitarian worth bringing in?
    Rivals have pogba so no point going there if I'm to close the gap.....

    1. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Can see Lingard and Rashford starting on the wings on Monday, so I would wait a couple of weeks. I like the punt though, brilliant player
