You can now vote in the Gameweek 19 Captain Poll, either below or in the sidebar of our website.

Liverpool and Tottenham are expected to be the go-to teams with them hosting Newcastle and Bournemouth respectively.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have been particularly ruthless at Anfield this season and Newcastle may struggle to cope with the in-form Mohamed Salah (£13.2m).

Fantasy managers might also be tempted by the Egyptian’s team-mates Roberto Firmino (£9.2m), Sadio Mané (£9.6m) or Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.1m).

Also, Newcastle’s troubles in front of goal may also convince Fantasy managers to consider Alisson (£5.8m) or Andrew Robertson (£6.6m) for the armband.

The will be newfound support of Spurs assets after their six-goal performance at Everton in Gameweek 18.

Harry Kane (£12.5m) will obviously be the Spurs front-runner after scoring 15 points from two goals and an assist at Goodison Park.

However, there was also a handsome 21-point haul for Son Heung-min (£8.5m) as well as goals for Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m).

Eden Hazard (£11.0m) is in action against Watford, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s (£11.5m) Arsenal travel to Brighton while Manchester City will hope to respond to their shock defeat to Crystal Palace at Leicester City.

    Snodgrass a good pick for the next 3? Have Anderson.

    1. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I'm on wildcard and made the switch from Anderson.
      2m less and stats basically the same.

      1. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        More options to transfer Anderson out though. I want Snodgrass, but feel it's v ry short sighted sonim sticking with Anderson

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Brooks may be another option if Snodgrass doesn't deliver, even with a few price rises if he does well.

  2. Ajax Down Trees
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Some advice guys?

    Patricio (Button)
    Robbo - Kolasinac - Doherty - AWB (Lowe)
    Salah - Hazard - Richarlison - Brooks (Hoijberg)
    Kane - Lacazette (Success)

    2 FT & 1.6 ITB.

    Think I'm wanting to get United cover. Ideally would have been Brooks > Martial but im 0.8 short.

    Any ideas??

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Never gonna happen with Salah, Hazard, Kane and Robertson all in there. It's probably a choice between Martial and Richarlison for you.
      Only other way I can see would be downgrading Lacazette to Rashford.

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Laca to Rash, Brooks to Martial/Pogba?

    3. Long ball Larry
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Get rid of salah. Good points scorer but costs so much to the detriment of the rest of the team

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

      I got fed up with Laca and sold as well as Hjojberg for Lingard and Rashford. I owned Martial before injured but Lingard best pick imo

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Looking at same 2 transfers this week. Are you playing 5 in midfield, 2 up front?

    5. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Laca to Jimenez, then you have extra cash to upgrade a couple of other players to the likes of ings, Snodgrass, Digne or TAA

  3. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I feel like benching Alonso

    (over AWB, Doherty & Digne)

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Same but can't get myself to do it

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Sell him with your FT mate. If you are not confident of starting against a club outside top 6 IMHO

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        No better options. He's my Chelsea cover for long term.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Do it then ... if you think others will score more

  4. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    When are press conferences?

  5. Eytexi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Do we think Robbo is getting a rest on Boxing Day?

    1. jamesterz23
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      God only knows

    2. Long ball Larry
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Na

    3. Legohair
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yes,arsenal game coming

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Robbo had his rest vs Burnley I think.

    5. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yip

    6. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hopefully Not
      I want his 12 pointer

  6. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Captain:
    A) Kane
    B) Shaq
    C) Rash

    1. jamesterz23
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    2. Long ball Larry
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

  7. jamesterz23
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Bench Alonso, wanb, or Doherty? Should be an easy choice but it really isn’t haha

    1. Long ball Larry
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      No point in having alonso and benching, transfer him out if you want to bench him

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

      I'm playing all 3 lol benching Snod Digne Kika

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Why AWB over Digne?

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      If this is an issue I’d consider downgrading Alonso

    4. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Sell Alonso if you doubt him starting against a side outside top6

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

    Captain
    A. Kane
    B. Salah

    Is it just me or is there chance that salah might be rested before arsenal game?

    1. Long ball Larry
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Kane

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I’m thinking Kane, or Son!

  9. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    What transfers could've Mark made?

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Ando out as he posted on one of the articles.

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Did he give his reason for transferring him out?

        1. Lyonnais
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          He wants Arnautovic instead when he comes back.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      ando balby wilson to martial rashy holebas/digne/shaw maybe .Not sure on that defender

  10. Eytexi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Anderson & Hogg to Snodgrass & Martial (-4)?

    1. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Could be worth it.

  11. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Was going Kane captain but now I am thinking hazard (last weeks failed captain) as could be open game against Watford and hazard better away from home?

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

      Salah or Kane for me this week

      1. Last Raulist Alive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Agree. I don't have Kane so I'll go with Salah even though I have Hazard too.

  12. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Double MUN attack Rashford + Pogba/Martial too much?

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

      I did Rash and Lingard -4

    2. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hope not... I now have all 3!

  13. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    What should I do with Alli?

    A) Start him

    B) Pogba (-4)

    1. Last Raulist Alive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I would not take the hit.

  14. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Deary me choosing between Kane and Salah for C is going to be tough!

    Best goalie for 4.5 or less?

    A. Foster
    B. Hart
    C. Lossl
    D. Someone else?

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Probably Foster long-term

      1. Last Raulist Alive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Agree.

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      B

  15. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Transfers done - just want to enjoy next couple of days tbh! How’s the team looking? Agree with bench/ order?

    0.5itb
    Fab
    VVD, Luiz, Doherty
    Sterling, Sané, Haz, Martial (v), Snoddy
    Kane (C), Wilson

    (Hamer) (AWB, Kamara, Schindler)

    Good luck and Happy Xmas to all!

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Thumbs up

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers mate. Last couple of weeks I’ve been happy on paper and it hasn’t worked out in reality so hope this bucks the trend!!

  16. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Do you think Pogba is going to be a good option from now on at 7.8m?

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

      I think Lingard and Martial are better picks

    2. Chilavert
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Pogba is the most nailed. But martial n lingard are more explosive

    3. Lebowski85
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I think he will be their best player for the rest of the season.

  17. Chilavert
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Which one to let go?
    A. Sterling
    B. Sane

    1. Last Raulist Alive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I had both and just let go A. I think Mahrez will have minutes but also needed the money for other transfers.

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Obvs question but all depends on your alternatives.

  18. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Is Deulofeu nailed?

  19. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Do you think Alli —> Pogba is a good move?

    1. Last Raulist Alive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Switching is a safe bet for next match but in the mid & long run, I would keep Alli. But of course, that also depends on your plans with the money difference.

  20. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    to fund Kane I need to dump Aub or Salah, help

    1. Lebowski85
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Tough....but I'd ditch Auba if the two. I've gone for all 3...but my bench is tatters

  21. Hoos01
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Why is the Captain poll not posted in Alphabetical order?

  22. Jafalad
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    C Day here and all I can think of:

    Sterling and Rich out for Hazard and Martial? YES or NO? Anything else?

    Fab

    TAA, AWB, VVD, Doherty, Digne

    Hojboj (sus), Sterling, Sane, Rich, Fraser

    Kane, Auba, Jimenez.

    1. Last Raulist Alive

      • 6 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I've transferred out Sterling Fraser & Chicharito and in Hazard Martial & Ings minus 4, so I'm sure you know what my answer is 🙂

    Let’s settle this once and for all.
    Captain Salah or Kane this week? Come on,everyone bring your opinions!

    1. Kloppage Time
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Salah

  27. TomThorley5
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Guys should I keep or sell Sanè? I fear he may not start due to his 90 minutes played at the weekend and a blank (only 2 points).
