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.

      Looking to dump ibra? Don't do that, he's way to consistent to be dumping right now.

      I'd just do capoue to Phillips if you want 352.

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

      Why dumping ibra?

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Hole to Ake/ or Capoue to Phillips

  4. Paul
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Him : Monreal + 20 pts
    Me : Alli + Sanchez (c)

    any chance???.... trailing to a dead team here!!

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

      A chance but less than 30% IMO

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

        thought so... need Sanchez to go crazy

  5. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any brunt captainers vs hull?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nope, Brom don't really care about the clean sheet this season. Not worth relying on attacking returns, way too risky. One snoddy set piece and your captain is getting 2

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

    Downgrading Hazard to get Aguero and Pogba. Already have Costa and don't have Ibra.

    Yay or nay?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Too afraid to lose Haz but it makes sense with this tough fixture run ahead.

  7. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Best siggy replacement?
    Pogba or lallana?
    No Liverpool cover!

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

      Lallana

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

      Lallana then

  8. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    8 point hit to get kun is new year madness right?

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

      Yes

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah. I think he is overpriced and playing in a poor team relative to thier expectations.

  9. BooYaKasha
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    So y didn't Jones play?
    Will he play Tuesday?

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Because man united have other centre backs

      I don't know

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      The announcers for the Man U match seemed assured that Jones will play GW 20. They nearly lost 0-1 to a weak attacking team so I am sure Jose will go back to the successful back 4 and Carrick at mid

  10. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero hasn't touch the ball once in the Liverpool's penalty box

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

      essential

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Means very little for his next game

  11. seanie3
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    hazard & origi to lallana & costa for -4

    a) yay
    b) nay

    thanks

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      a

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

      Yes

  12. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    My sub bench has been decimated: pickford, anichebe and amat all out.
    Pieters only fit sub.

    Llorente also a "first team" doubt unsure what to with him is Rondon the obvious replacement?

    Or should I be looking at other choices .6m in the bank

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking the same- Rondon or keep Origi- tough choice

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

    Ok. Need to downgrade a defender by at least 0.1m to afford Siggy to Lallana.

    Who down I downgrade and to who?

    A. Ake.
    B. Alonso.
    C. Jones.
    D. McAuley.
    E. Francis.

    Thanks!!

    (and HAPPY NEW YEAR!)

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

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

          I have Phillips already

    9 years, 6 months ago

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

      Ibra is on fire

      Kun not so much

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        True im not sure what to do!

    Anu suggestions?

    Heaton • Jaku
    Alonso • Cedric • McAuley • Holebas • Amat
    Hazard • Walcott • Payet • Siggy • Alexis
    Ibra • Llorente • Anichebe

    2FTs, 1.5ITB

    A) Walcott/Payet/Llorente => Phillips/Mirallas/Aguero
    B) Walcott/Payet/Anichebe => Phillips/De Roon/Aguero
    C) Other options

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

      B looks good

  16. Heavy Data
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    How do people think Big Sam will set up Palace now that he is there? I dont know anything about the guy so im not up to speed with how he manages his teams.

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not totally sure as he'll have his own assessment on squad.
      Obviously picks are Zaha Tekkers & Danny.
      Personally I'm watching Ward & Cabaye.

      1. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Ye ive got my eye on Cabaye with the fixtures coming up and the possibility of him being the penalty taker. I was going to bring him in for the Swansea game but after seeing Liverpool and Sunderland both play earlier i think i'll play Can and wait on Cabaye.

  17. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    2FT's and not sure what to do. Apart from sell Siggy.

    Pickford/Foster
    Amat, Brunt, Alonso, Jones, Hollabas
    Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Lallana, Can
    Origi, Ibra, Kane

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

      Siggy to Phillips

  18. George James

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

      Looks good save

  19. myboycharlie
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A) siggy to Lallana or Phillips
    B) Llorente to Rondon or Tekkers

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

      Personally have both, Llorente is priority IMO. At least Siggy is on pens.

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

        True that and he came off early today

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

    Best siggy replacement?

    A. Lallana
    B. Phillips + 2m

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

      B

    2. myboycharlie
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      In same predicament above feel like lallana is needed at d mo

  21. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Carroll, Hazard, Siggy OUT
    Aguero, Lallana, Phillips IN for -4

    Good moves?

    Was all set for Cabaye instead of Lallana, but he could hurt my rank against poor Sunderland.

    Foster
    Alonso Brunt Pieters
    Sanchez Eriksen Lallana Phillips
    KOBRA

    Can Ward Amat

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      My arse

      1.5 for that. Put out Costa instead of Carroll

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

        Oh right wouldn't be losing costa if I had him

    2. myboycharlie
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Like it nice team after them moves

  22. I Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who's the most appealing Palace mid with Zaha gone? Cabaye or Townsend?

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

      Punchy

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Really? Hasn't scored all season.

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

          -cheapest of all CP milfs
          -on corners
          -Best stats of all CP milfs in last 4

    2. myboycharlie
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Cabaye possibly on penos now

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

        Or maybe Townsend.

      2. I Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Playing further forward under Big Sam as well possibly? Looked that way against Watford.
