FPL team news scant ahead of Gameweek 19

Our Team News and predicted line-ups are all updated and ready for your Gameweek 19 research.

As it’s Christmas Day, I don’t want to keep you any longer than is necessary.

For that reason, I shall prefer to direct you to the Team News tab above, where you can find all the latest information on all 20 Premier League sides.

Only a select few clubs gave press conferences on Christmas Eve to keep us in the loop.

They were Cardiff City, Brighton and Hove Albion and Liverpool. To these three clubs we extend our collective Fantasy Premier League thanks!

Six other sides doubled-up their post-match press conferences in Gameweek 18 to give their pre-match thoughts on Gameweek 19.

They were Arsenal, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield, Leicester City and Newcastle United. Again, we thank these clubs too.

All others were unable to give us completely accurate up to date information, which is the unfortunate disclaimer we have to put out at this time of year.

I hope you find the Team News page helpful to you as you make your Gameweek 19 transfer decision.

I already mentioned this to you this morning, but I’d like to once again wish you a very merry Christmas from everyone at Fantasy Football Scout.

    This is the first time I've ever posted a "What should I do with this lot" - 2fts and I don't know what to do:

    Lloris Hamer
    Balbuena Clark AWB Doherty Kola
    Son Shaq Sane Siggy Schurrle
    Kane Aub Mitro

    0.5 in the bank.

    Tend to look at moves for a period of fixtures. Thinking Martial or Lingard for Schurrle maybe? But can't afford without changes elsewhere.

    Thanks

      i quite like the team, but i certainly wouldn't be looking to lose salah if you have him. also, i think that you'd be missing out on some great defensive picks at the expense of some flashy attackers. i'd probably downgrade one of kane/auba to jimenez or similar, use the change to get salah for mane and upgrade def

    i'm going martial (c). I think for non-salah/kane owners, it's hard to do better. Bookies give him and haz roughly the same chance of scoring, he has a low risk of rotation, excellent fixture, first game at home with new manager.

    What is my best move here:

    A) Fraser, Wilson -> Martial, Success
    B) Fraser, Chicharito -> Martial, Success
    C) Fraser, Alonso -> Martial, Kolasinac
    D) WC to bring in Kane
    D) Save FT

    Fab
    Robbo, Alonso, Digne, Doherty
    Salah(c), Sane, Rich, Anderson
    Auba(vc), Chicharito
    Pat; Wilson, Fraser, WBA
    0 ITB, 1 FT, WC left

    Just wondering who you think the most over-hyped team are at the moment?

    United maybe were just flattered by Cardiff.
    West ham stumbled but been pretty consistent otherwise.
    Everton have nice fixtures but always seem to have an unexpected blank in them.
    Arsenal perhaps or Chelsea feel capable of dropping points any week.

          Yeah, think I agree. Was looking at digne and richarlison for holebas and Felipe but doesn't seem to make sense to me

    Gotta ask in a different way...would you get in Kane if it meant you had to lose Sane + Son? (Have Salah and Auba)
