And finally, the day and Gameweek 19 draws to a close at the King Power Stadium where Manchester United’s seemingly futile chase of their City rivals continues with a clash against Leicester.

Fantasy managers will be seeking to round off the day’s events with further points, hoping for a clean sheet and certainly attacking returns from Mourinho’s charges.

Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba are undoubtedly the focus of our attention.

The former has hinted at a revival of late, scoring in successive Gameweeks and with three goals in his last four in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Pogba is back in the United starting XI tonight having served out a three-match suspension.

Some 153,000+ investors who made the early move back for the Frenchman ahead of Gameweek 19 will be expecting an early dividend. The midfielder has produced 7.0 points per match so far, supplying a hugely impressive three goals and seven assists from his eight matches.

But the Foxes have their own options to scout out this evening, notably Riyad Mahrez who stalled in the 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace but had returned three goals and an assist from his previous four outings.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    With so many players rising, have a few decisions to make.
    My team is
    Speroni - Elliot
    Tarkowski - Alonso - Naughton - Hunemeiyer - Jones
    Hazard - RLC - Coutinho - Salah - Pogba
    Firmino - Niasse - Kane
    0.0 itb 1Ft

    A. Hazard to Sterling
    B. Hazard + Firmino --> Sterling + Morata -4 (for secure starts)
    C. Sort out my bench and try get DCL in for Niasse for -4 (hope hazard starts but no city )
    D. Something else

    Cheers

    1FT, 0.7 ITB

    Foster, Elliot

    Monreal, Simpson, Ogbonna, Dunk, Kenny

    Salah, Coutinho, Sterling, Gross, Carroll

    Kane, Lacazette, Vardy

  6. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Fernandinho looling like a cheap nailed on City option to me.

    Otamendi Silva Dinho I'm thinking.

    Hazard to Sterling is an option if he blanks again though

    1. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Looking

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Negative. Would rather Dacoure if that's all you can afford. That would lock you out of Sterling too.

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Waste of a City spot

  7. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Best option of these?

    A) Mee in a 3 way rotation with Dunk and Masuaku (Quaner the other member of bench). Own Christensen and Otamendi.

    B) Zanka (Same as Mee)

    C) Jones with a bench of Dunk, Quaner and Mbemba

    I'm favouring A as I trust the Burnley defence and feel I can match Jones' clean sheet potential with a fixture-ease based rotation

    1. Francescoli
      • 11 Years

      A

    Is it worth doing Hazard + Okazaki > Coutinho + Firmino -4

    1. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      NO! Coutinho and Firmino could easily be both rested. I suspect Coutinho will play. But second guessing the Klopp is impossible.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'd do it. In the long run it's clear which pairing will come out on top.

  9. FPL Scoop

    captain next week:
    A) haz (morata is back..?)
    B) salah
    C) firmino
    D) pogba
    E) sterling (newcastle away possibly tough??)

    1. UshFPL
      • 9 Years

      Salah

    2. CrouchDown
      • 13 Years

      Kane?

  10. THFC4LIFE

    Cocky Mourinho - 'Easy game to win' ..... glad Leicester got them at the end 🙂

    1. UshFPL
      • 9 Years

      He was right. United should have coasted home

  14. Winners900

    Smalling -> Jones free?

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      what

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      ManU are without Smalling, Valencia and Bailly. They might have problems keeping CS now, especially if Mou wants to monitor Jones’s minutes.

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Jose is sick! Changes on Tuesday.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rojo, Mkhi, Herrera will come in. Lingard, Martial, Lindelof and Smalling will be punished.

  16. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Any chance Ibra could start the next match?

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Don't think so. He was awful vs Bristol

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Much like Rojo, I don't actually think he's fully up to speed after the injury whatsoever and has been rushed back.

      Either way, Big Rom was excellent tonight.

  17. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times today, but are you guys keeping faith in Richarlison?

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Just

    2. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Good placeholder for WHU/Spurs assets.
      Also, Simpson is injured.

  18. Henning
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Have the exact money to do
    Hazard and Richarlison to Silva and Coutinho
    Should i do it or will it be to many City and Liverpool player?

    de Gea Elliot

    Jones Otamendi Kenny Masuaku Christensen

    Hazard Richarlison Gross Salah Sterling

    Kane Firmino Dcl

  19. The Royal Robin

    3 players currently rising in value tonight. It's been a good week.

    1. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Which 3 of yours? I may have 4

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Christensen, Firmino and Sterling. Hopefully Otamendi makes it too but I doubt it.

  20. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is Robertson nailed?

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      For the next couple GWs whilst moreno is out. After that, unlikely.

  21. camarozz
    • 11 Years

    82 all out and no hits!!

    That Maguire goal was sweet 😀

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years

      Nice one! 😀

  22. Rainer

    Agent Rashford?

  23. 420king

    Arnie is looking good isn't he?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    2. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I always knew he'd be back after Moyes joined up.

  26. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Bottomed a few pages back. Can anyone offer any advice on the order in which to deal with things, whether to take a hit

    Alsorts of problems here

    Tarkowski (red)
    Ward (25%)
    Austin (25%)
    Rooney (75%)
    Monreal (75%)

    I will only have 1 free transfer

    A whole bench is guaranteed out so any rotation at all and i'll be losing points. Obv I own Salah, Sane, Sterling etc so there a strong chance of rotation

    Currently looking at Depoitre. He appear to be first choice and played 81 mins today. DCL is another option but poorer fixtures and more question marks imo. A cheap striker can be a real albatross if you get it wrong...

    1. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ouch - in all honesty, it's hit-time.

      The good news is that if the alternative is not fielding any player as a replacement, it is only really a -2 in effect.

      We are unlikely to get much news between now and Boxing Day, but Austin looks out for a while. And you know Tark won't play. So they would be my priorities.

      Depoitre looks a good shout. Kenny should be good for some clean sheets before Coleman returns. Maybe even take a punt of a Monreal replacement too....

  27. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with my defence:

    Daniels
    Simpson
    Mbemba

    All injured or out of favour

    1. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No room to carry that many non-playing defenders over the next few game weeks.

      Maybe address 2? They all have pretty bad fixtures anyway, so maybe Ogbonna and Kenny could pay off immediately?

  28. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Rooney > Firmino 1FT anyone?

    Already own Salah

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino might be benched next GW.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        So might many.

    Lingard is now being called Lindegard on Telly ..Have they been reading my posts here ?

    1. George Sillett

      They wouldn't be that stupid.
