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 Jaku does not start ahead of Marshall is unbelievable. But then again this is the guy who makes Ryan Mason his record signing then doesn't play him.

  2. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
    Don't make them like that anymore.

  3. v12w12

    Walcott - lallana
    Llorente - benteke
    Worth a -4 or wait to see if Wally starts tomorrow?
    Cheers

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

      Wait

    2. Mr Dave
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With Swansea and Sunderland the fixtures for those players I would say it's worth the hit

      1. v12w12
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers fellas

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

      Take the hit

  4. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can I get some advice?

    Current team:

    Heaton, pick
    Alonso, cedric, mcauley, holebas, ake
    Sanchez, haz, siggy, lala, de roon
    Ibra, costa, barnes

    0.8 itb, 1ft

    Having to play 442 this week. Thinking maybe upgrade de Roon to stanislas with the 1ft (but Bou have ARS next) to play 352 from next week - any better ideas?

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

      Nice team, Stanislas is a great shout but with that fixture I'd save and play 442 again

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

      Save, downgrade holebas and de roon > Philips next week
      Maybe put chambers/friend in

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks guys, much appreciated. Might sort siggy this week instead.

  5. osceola31909

    I need to downgrade Vertonghen. Is Lovren worth the extra money over Pieters?

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think so

  6. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    To those replacing Sig:

    Who are you getting?

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

      Lallana

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lallana or Phillips mostly.

    3. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lallana

    4. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Phillips as an Aguero enabler.

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

      Alli or Wally if fit

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

      Lallana the obvious move
      Philips if you need the funds elsewhere

  7. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ville Ronka down to 140K but with a few left including captain.
    Should be a new HoF leader in January.

        *yawn*

    2. joescores
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure about some of his choices...

  8. Astronautovic
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Baines or dann?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      See how bad Palace are tomorrow.

      1. Astronautovic
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So u would say no dann?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Everton can't defend but Baines offers something going forward whilst Dann is header king.

          1. Astronautovic
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Would u recommend a better option?

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Depends on who you have but I wouldn't want them for CS.

              1. Astronautovic
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Brunt alonso van dijk holebas kingsley

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

      Brunt

  9. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who wins?

    7 + Sanchez + Zaha
    (C) Kane + Alli + Rose

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years

        • Has Moderation Rights

        Bad timing atm.

    2. Bob_the_builder
      • 9 Years

      Talk about having a lucky streak.

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

    What to do with Origi?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep for Sunderland.

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

      Likely to get start v Sunderland after benched for start today so I am keeping

  11. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard -> Mkhitaryan for a -4?

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

      Both?

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Really want to ditch Hazard. Poor away form against a few good opponents. No bueno. Unless someone convinces me why I should keep?

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

          Looks like you've decided. The extra 1m upgrade someone else?
          I have them both in a midfield of Sanchez,Hazard,Mkhitarian,Lallana,DeRoon

          1. Postman Ty
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Nice, I'm going with Kun-Ibra-Benteke (with Benteke pending) so the extra cash will maybe upgrade Allen soon.

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

              Looks strong.
              I'm on Ibrahimovic,Costa,Origi.
              Still deciding whether to keep Origi for Sunderland or change him to Rondon for a hit.

  12. Prøfeßör …
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cedric to Brunt for a hit?

    1. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cedric should be guaranteed to start next game.

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure of clean sheet prospects though with VVD out.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Unfortunately true. I'm in the same boat as you. I just bought Cedric a few days ago as a Toby A fail replacement. Immediate regret, although I dodged a bullet with VVD. Don't know why I didn't grab Brunt first.

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

      Yup, cedric + siggy > brunt + lallana just done here

  13. Teror
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I have 2FT. Who is my priority to get rid of?

    A. Siggy > Lallana

    B. Snodgrass > Phillips

    C. Origi > Rondon / Gray / ???

  14. El Magico5
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton, Jaku
    Lovren, Jones, Mccauley, friend,amat
    Sanchez, Hazard, erikson, lallana, capoue
    Costa, Ibra, Origi

    What do you reckon guys? Obvious concerns are Jones and origi not nailed. Also wary of 2nd place in ML getting aguero next gw....not going with all 3 way to unbalanced if you go that way.

    Maybe you missed it, maybe you knew it, maybe you don't five a damn, but I won't be posting it again. Happy new year 🙂

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        Either me or my post is pissed. Smart money is on me. Happy New Year everyone 😀

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

    Sigurdsson ➡ Lallana

    1FT left... Anything else?

    Heaton
    Alonso, David Luiz, Brunt
    Sanchez, Firmino, Sigurdsson, Snodgrass
    Costa, Ibra, Defoe

    Pickford, de Roon, Holebas, Amat

    1. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Save.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. Just Sig to Lallana

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Snod to Phillips

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

        I'm guessing this is a joke

    1. Reggie Nainggolan

      I would do can to Phillips only for this week

      1. Junior ⚽

        TY

  18. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    De Bruyne and Ibra or Mkhi and Aguero?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mkhi & Ibra - both cheaper AND more points & less chance of rotation. Man city are an FPL nightmare this year

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        There is a very low chance City rest either of their best players while they're falling behind.

  19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If i knew Brunt was starting v Hull i'd captain him... He's going to get a monster haul one of these days... Home to hull as good a game as any to do it!

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

      Going with Rondon

  20. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Weee. Up again to 5.5k....3 left.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      FPL winner....

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sweet, i see you got Baines after all. Knew the assist and 3 bonus would happen 😉

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He was a bit rubbish really. Got lucky.

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

          7 points being rubbish, just wait till he has a good game 😀

    3. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I am most impressed.

    4. RoysCallerAnne

  21. nkhoughton

    Why did Phil Jones not play?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Saved for GW20, fragile.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Him & Rojo rested... Expected back v west ham. Smalling was gash so PJ should come straight back in.

  22. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Siggy+Erik to Phillips+Lallana for -4 or just Siggy to Lallana?

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just siggy to lallana.

  23. Reggie Nainggolan

  28. James101
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ok. Last try to get some opinions!

    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!)

    The rest of my squad:
    Grant. Pickford.
    Eriksen. Hazard. Siggy. Sanchez. Phillips.
    Costa. Ibra. Origi.

    1. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Francis cos you already got Ake

      Maybe even McAuley if you want

      1. James101

  29. n-doggg

    Just seen the Chelsea highlights. I'm an Alonso owner but that assist is jokes!

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      Agree
