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.

    1FT and 0.4ITB.

    Foster - Elliot
    Alonso - Otamendi - Ogbonna - Duffy - Lowton
    Hazard - Salah - Sterling - Richarlison - RLC
    Kane - Firmino - DCL

    Save transfer?

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

      Lowton to Zanka

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Oh good shout

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Perfect yeah go for it

  4. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Need Sterling.
    Hazard to Sterling and Aguero to Kane?

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

      Good moves.

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

    Which players scare you if you don't own them. For me at the moment:

    Utd defender, Alonso, Sterling, Mahrez, Coutinho, Salah, Kane

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      See above. Need to get sterlinga and Kane back in

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You don’t own any of them?

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

        I own DDG, Sterling, Salah and Kane. But Alonso scares me the most. Guy doesn't want to defend.

    3. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      City mids for me. Have none. A United cleanie always hurts as well. Need to get one City mid and a United defender soon.

    4. Stokelona
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      This except Mahrez. And Aguero every other week

    5. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I can honestly say there’s no defender that scares me as a non owner. Coutinho, Sterling, Salah, Kane... definitely. Even for all the Kanexiters they have to be worried every time he plays a weak side given his pedigree.

    6. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Mahrez? He is in amazing form but i cant be scared not owning him

    7. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Have all of them except Utd def(or DDG) and Mahrez

    8. MTPockets
        8 years, 3 months ago

        MUN generally. Have no players but they have good fixtures.

    9. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      bottomed

      Anyone considering Wilson for Austin? If Defoe is out injured then he's surely nailed on and has decent fixtures.

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

        Actually was looking at the same move, But being put off by Bournmouths current form

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          This

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

        Isn’t Wilson injury prone?

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

          He is but while he's fit it could be a decent switch. Only other alternatives in that price range are Calvert-Lewin and Depoitre so I'm considering it.

      3. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I was burned when I got him after his hat trick, for him to score 2,1,1,2, while his minutes were 79,90,21,10, in a similar run of 4 easy fixtures.
        I wouldn't recommend this move.

      4. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Never

    10. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      2 FT’s, 0.0ITB any suggestions greatly appreciated!

      DDG
      Ota Jones Christensen
      Haz Salah Sterling Richarl
      Kane Morata DCL
      ————————————
      Elliot Ogbon RLC Hune

      DDG > Adrian
      Rciahrlison > Pogba

      Exact money to do these moves....

    11. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Maguire->Christensen? I know he scored today but his fixtures are poor and I don't have the money to upgrade my cheaper defenders to Christensen

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

        100%.

      2. Virgil Hilts
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I’m doing it

    12. HD7
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A better alternative midfielder than Pogba or just get him ? (have8.2)

      1. TwiggsJameson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Silva.

      2. Concrete
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Arnie

      3. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Heaps. I'd rather Lingard or Mooy and keep the change. Pogba plays deep can score double figure haul then feature heavily in several 4-0 victories and only score 3pts

        1. HD7
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah this is why Im not sure I need hil in my power 5...

    13. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Odds Sterling gets rotated?

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

        There's a chance.

        1. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Bah. I kneejerked to Sterling from Sane, but now I'm wondering if that was the right move. May have to consider a hit.

      2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I’m a new (re) owner and I think it’s very likely. But over the Christmas period, are there any top players from the top teams who aren’t at risk? Pogba maybe.

        1. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          touche

    14. UnitedFan
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      How bad did Smalling's injury look? Didn't see the game.

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

        Hobbling. I’ve got him too and I’m gonna hold for the next match. We won’t know before then.

      2. RESULT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. UnitedFan
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          What makes you think that?

      3. Stokelona
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ffs I just did Valencia to smalling in sky

      4. Visionaries
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He'll be out a few weeks I'd say

      5. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        groin injury... depends how bad it is

      6. Guru Mediation
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He couldn't run, looks like a tear

    15. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Richarlison->Pogba for free?
      Would you change anything else?

      Ryan Elliot
      Otamendi Christensen Jones Mustafi Daniels
      Salah Coutinho Sane Sterling Richarlison
      Morata Firmino Calvert

      1 FT, 1.7 itb

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years

        Wouldn't change anything else. Do it..

      2. Jaok
        • 11 Years

        really nice team!

      3. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not Pogba and don't rate Morata so your front line is potential banana skin

      4. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Daniels 5th def sell already. Talk about negative equity

    16. Ian Davis
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A) Duffy > Robertson
      B) Duffy > Zanka
      C) Play Ogbonna

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Play Ogbonna. Selling good value defenders because one bad fixture such pointless move

    17. Kante FC
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Gudmunsson + Cork to Choupo-Moting + T. Carroll for free is a no brainier really isn't it?

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

        2 bad players for 2 bad players. A waste of FTs imo

    18. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'm fed up of hazard. Worth a free transfer to coutinho?

      I also don't like Richarlison any more either...

      1. FootballFanatic365
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        keep the faith

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I have morata. Don't want to when Liverpool are smashing everyone. And they have Swansea next...

      2. Concrete
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Worth keeping for next two

      3. Mr. Jenkins
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not before the two homegames

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Seriously? They are shocking at the moment. Only a goal here and there. Compared to more goals elsewhere.

      1. Kiwivillan

        Niasse or Rich were leaving my team last week for -4 but I held off. Probably get rid of both for -4 or Niasse>Depoitre FT only

    33. FantasyFootballSprout
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      With all the switching off formations this season, I don’t know why everyone doesn’t play 4-4-2. The template keeps shifting from Big up top, to big in midfield, to big in defence.

      It’ll shift again in a few GWKs probably back to a better strike force as a few options have awoken again this week.

      Keep the balance.
