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.

    Guys,

    Lose Willian for Martial? Was gonna do Laca to Rashford, but thinking Laca may get minutes this GW and can ditch after. Reckon Martial has better potential for points than Rashford. Plus, am fed up with Willian...he's been a disaster...!!!

      I agree. He's tied for first for goal attempts and second for shots in the box over the last four among forwards. Stats say hold and one may claim he's due a goal.

      Rashford's playing time will be hindered when Lukaku returns.
