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.

    Is it time to consider getting KDB on back of poor City performance?

    I have feeling Sané will be benched with front 3 of Sterling Aguero Mahrez v Leicester so tempted with Sané to KDB. Bit sideways I know but see him as season keeper if stats injury free, will be less prone to rotation and price will soon be on the rise

    1. Alnair
      • 7 Years

      I wouldn't. Kdb looks injury prone now so chances of him getting rested/injured are higher. Not to mention that Leicester are a team that have caused City problems in the past and recently held them to a draw and that was with Kdb and Kun playing. Then there's Leicester beating Chelsea to consider as well as the 4 point gap too...it's hard to see Pep fielding anything other than his best line-up.

      Sane misses the next game vs Southampton, in my opinion.
