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
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. Lebowski85
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 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
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 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
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 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
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 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
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Laca to Rash, Brooks to Martial/Pogba?

    3. Long ball Larry
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 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
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 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
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 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
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 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. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I feel like benching Alonso

    (over AWB, Doherty & Digne)

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Same but can't get myself to do it

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

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

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

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

  4. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    When are press conferences?

  5. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. jamesterz23
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      God only knows

    2. Long ball Larry
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Na

    3. Legohair
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes,arsenal game coming

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Robbo had his rest vs Burnley I think.

    5. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yip

    6. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully Not
      I want his 12 pointer

  6. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Captain:
    A) Kane
    B) Shaq
    C) Rash

    1. jamesterz23
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

    2. Long ball Larry
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

  7. jamesterz23
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. Long ball Larry
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

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

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'm playing all 3 lol benching Snod Digne Kika

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Why AWB over Digne?

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If this is an issue I’d consider downgrading Alonso

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

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

  8. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 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
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

    2. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I’m thinking Kane, or Son!

  9. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What transfers could've Mark made?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ando out as he posted on one of the articles.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Did he give his reason for transferring him out?

        1. Lyonnais
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          He wants Arnautovic instead when he comes back.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

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

  10. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. Lyonnais
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Could be worth it.

  11. Not again Shirley
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 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
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Salah or Kane for me this week

      1. Last Raulist Alive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

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

  12. Lyonnais
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Double MUN attack Rashford + Pogba/Martial too much?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I did Rash and Lingard -4

    2. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hope not... I now have all 3!

  13. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What should I do with Alli?

    A) Start him

    B) Pogba (-4)

    1. Last Raulist Alive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I would not take the hit.

  14. WVA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 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
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Probably Foster long-term

      1. Last Raulist Alive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Agree.

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B

  15. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 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
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thumbs up

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 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
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 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
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think Lingard and Martial are better picks

    2. Chilavert
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

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

    3. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

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

  17. Chilavert
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. Last Raulist Alive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 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
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Obvs question but all depends on your alternatives.

  18. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is Deulofeu nailed?

  19. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. Last Raulist Alive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 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
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

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

    1. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

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

  21. Hoos01
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Why is the Captain poll not posted in Alphabetical order?

  22. Jafalad
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    C Day here and all I can think of:

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

    Team:

    Fab

    TAA, AWB, VVD, Doherty, Digne

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

    Kane, Auba, Jimenez.

    1. Last Raulist Alive

      • 5 Years

      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
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Salah

  27. TomThorley5
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 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).
