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.

      A

    2. Tev
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ederson will get a cleanie I think. Long overdue one, and Leicester aren't exactly free scoring despite beating Chelsea. Nowhere better to use the FT? You got a United asset?

  3. i am jose mourinho

      Digne

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Digne, Holebas.

      My last gw's wc punt was Lowe who got -1. He should be on set pieces, corners and penalties so hope he will deliver some +points too.

  6. Super John McGinn-
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Fab, Steele
    Alonso, TAA, Digne, Doherty, AWB
    Sterling, Sane, Siggy, FAnderson, Fraser
    Kane, Laca, Kamara

    Was thinking of this A before United played but think I want one of them now

    A) TAA + Fraser + Laca > Benarek + Hazard + Ings (-4)
    B) Fraser + Laca > Son + Rashford
    C) Fraser + Laca > Martial + Rashford (+1.1m)
    D) Other

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B or C for me. Personally would prefer B.

  7. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Do we all think that Salah will start against Newcastle ahead of Arsenal on Sat and City on Thurs?

    1. i am jose mourinho
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Only if kloop wants to win pl

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Dont be silly

      2. Fernando Torres
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        No

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I think he starts, kill the game and sub early

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    4. I Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I think so but subbed early if they're winning.

    5. mir
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      The key is the Saturday to thursdat rest. If the Arsenal and Man City were closer together like other teama have he'd be on bench for Newcastle. He'll start and come off after 70 mins when 2 or 3 nil up.

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes as needs to drive home advantage over City but think will be subbed at 60 minutes assuming Liverpool leading.

  8. i am jose mourinho
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    My next cup opponent is Sarri , Not Sarri. I think ive seen that guy posting here

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It's an obvious pun. There are probably 5000 named the same

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Although I'm disappointed in my friend's attempt, 'Sarri Bout It'. Wtf is that?

      2. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I don't get the pun, see a lot of teams with that name.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Sorry bout that mate

    2. Tev
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      There'll be many of those about mate. Maybe if he's in the FFS league

    3. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      There are two of those team names in my ml alone

  9. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Am I right to (c) Son and (vc) Martial?

    Also, would you keep FT with this team?

    WB first on the bench or would you make some changes?

    Fabianski
    Alonso/Robbo/Doherty
    Sterling/Hazard/Son(c)/Martial(vc)/FAnderson
    Auba/Jimenez

    Hart/WB/Kamara/Balbuena

    1. WE ARE RANGERS
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I would play Wan Biz (home v Cardiff)

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Dunno whom to bench

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Son is on fire at present.

  10. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    No way Hennessey claims his spot back on Wednesday, is there?

    Guaita played very well in two extremely hard fought wins

    1. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      50/50 - over the last few years Hennessy has consistently won his place back over a number of standins.

  11. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Just brought Salah back, it leaves me without Man City cover now but I am happy to go without for the next three games.

    How does this look going forward?

    Fabianski
    Robertson Wan Bissaka David Luiz Kolasinac
    Salah(c) Son Martial
    Auba Wilson Kane

    Hamer Balbuena Torreira Gunnarsson

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You not worried about a salah rest next game so fresh for arsenal and city?

      1. Big Mac 24
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        The million dollar question!

      2. WE ARE RANGERS
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        No, dont think he will be rested, might not play all 90 but I will take my chance

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Looks almost identical to what I want.

  12. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    G2g or Mctominay to Camarasa for free to have a full playing bench?

    Fab
    Doherty Robbo Alonso
    Sane sterling Anderson Richarlison
    Mitro Kane(c) Rashford

    Button Digne bennet Mctominay

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not worried about A Kane, Rashford, Sterling, Robbo, Alonso, Sane or Richarlison rest next game?

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I am, hence the suggested move to have a playing bench

  13. Adriano
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    This is my 7th season and I honestly can't remember a time where there was this many attacking options to choose from. It certainly makes things very interesting

    1. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It’s fun!

      1. Adriano
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed!

  14. The real slim shady
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Play 3 and bench order on rest:
    Doherty
    Wan-Bissaka
    Laporte
    Robertson
    Kolasinac

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

      Robbo kola doch .Then laporte awb

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Doh, Robertson and Kola for attacking fun

    3. Super John McGinn-
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo, Doherty, Kola. AWB, Laporte

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

      Are you sure you dont want to play with back 4?

      Robertson, Laporte, Doherty.

      1. The real slim shady
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Rest of team is:
        Kepa

        Snoddy-Sterling-Salah-Richarlison
        Chicharito-Kane-Rashford

        Bench: Höjberg, Hamer.

        Think I need to play all those attackers with this weeks fixtures.

  15. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Happy Christmas friends.

    How does this sound: -
    Shaqiri, Sterling, Richarlison out
    Martial, Sane, Mane in
    -8 worth it?

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not at all, no need to ditch Richarlison or sterling. Shaq I feel has a good chance of starting next game

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling definitely won't start and Pep seems fed up with him I feel. Shaq doesn't start either, if he was ever due a start it was against Wolves to follow up on his brace the gw before

  16. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anderson -> Martial just doesn't feel very right before Southampton..

    1. madame shelly
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Wait a week then

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

      Just doesn't feel right for me in any of the next 3

  17. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Are all pressers on today?

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Nope. Only 3, and they're done.

  18. madame shelly
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    No more pressers ? Surely not loads tomorrow ??

  19. Big Mac 24
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Robbo
    Wan-Bisaka
    Kola

    Doherty
    Laporte

        I have to admit I still don't get the purpose of those creatures being around...why do they only affect humans and not animals (why are birds able to detect). What happened to that sublime cop, did she make it on the run?!

      Have basically the same team... thinking maybe Anderson to martial for you?

      1. n-doggg

        See mine below

  22. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Laca to *who*, guys?! Have 1.4 I.T.B. Own Kane, also. Would like to free up funds, if poss. Thinking Rashford. Thoughts...??

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'm keeping Laca for Brighton but if you're set on moving him on Rashford is a popular choice.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Fed up with his restricted minutes, dude. Emery doesn't seem to fancy him too much at all; seems to dig Miki, Özil, Iwobi even more. Rambo obvious threat to his gametime, also...

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'm doing him to Rashford.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Both set to incur price changes later I'd say, too...!!

  23. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Got 2FTs, not sure where to go with it. Any suggestions?

    Rui, hamer
    Alonso, taa, Digne, awb, bennet
    Sterling, Sane, richarlison, Fraser, Camarasa
    Kane, Aubameyang, Jiménez

    A. Fraser and Digne to martial and Bednarek?
    B. Jimenez and Digne to Johnny and rashford
    C. Jimenez and Camarasa to success and martial

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling to hazard or just let one burn

  24. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    My cup oppo is a dead team . . . .
    With Alli, Salah, Firmino and Kane (c)

    Good god, this could get ugly.

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I was beaten by an inactive team with an OR of 3 million....

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        The amount of fortune associated with the cup is staggering...!

  25. Thomas Jerome Newton
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else thinking about playing Wan-Bissaka ahead of Alonso next game?
    Have Alonso, Robbo, Laporte, Wan-Bissaka, Doherty at the back.

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Always play Alonso if you have him for that price imo

  26. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Dele to Son for a -4?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No way unless he is confirmed out for a while

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Digne first sub, Bennett second sub.

  27. tristanabc
    • 13 Years

    A) hazard, richarlison and davies

    Hart - Fabianski

    Robertson - Digne - Doherty - AWB - Bennett

    Salah - Lingard - Richarlison - Martial - Fraser

    Kane - Rashford - Jimenez

    Any recommended moves for City coverage?

    1. tristanabc
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Triple United up front is a bit much. Downgrade Fraser and/or richarlison and upgrade martial to city

  29. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Is sterling and Fraser to Son and Martial

    A) A good idea
    B) Reckless knee-jerk stupidity

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B

      Would try to get Martial for Fraser though
