Team News

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.

    Fab steele
    Laporte Doherty Awb yoshida Toby
    Sterling Son f. Anderson richarlison høybjerg
    Kane auba Jimenez

    2ft

    A:Laporte + Jimenez to rashford + digne?
    B: anderson to martial. Save 1ft
    C: laporte + Anderson to pogba + shaw/digne

    Or should I try to get in haz or even salah?

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years

      Do B looks a safe and solid move given Martial gets minutes, he is in the form of his life atm

    Thoughts on:

    Fraser > Lingard

    Wilson > Ings

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Like it

    2. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good to me, JLingz looks like he's gonna streak!

    3. Stoic
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      For free it looks good

  3. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Fabianski
    Robertson - D. Luiz - AWB
    Hazard - Sané - Felipe - Paterson
    Kane (C) - Auba - Jiménez

    McCarthy - Bennett - Fraser - Bednarek

    Been losing out on a lot of bench points lately so:

    1) Start Fraser over Paterson?
    2) Is the bench order correct?

  4. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

    Merry Christmas all 🙂

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Merry Christmas to you too! Don't the boxing day tomorrow disappointments spoil the evening! 😀

  5. Stoic
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Due to rotation threat, I sold Auba and Brooks for -8 last week for Haz and Rash...
    Just don't know whether to guess the lineups or just play defensive and avoid hits...
    Probably the latter after last week 😛

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Avoid hits and sideways moves. Good players will always find a way to score points. Auba is comfortable in the lead for golden boot for a reason!

    2. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      That move can pay off big time this week though.

      1. Stoic
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        This was my plan all along but en I Auba and Brooks started midweek and rest is history

  6. theodosios

    Merry Christnas from Serbia!

    1. Chi not God

  7. MiLK2018

    Which Wolves defender to bring in?

    A) Jonny
    B) Bennett

    1. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B if you need value, which is usually the case with Wolves defence

    3. Stoic
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

    4. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A easily, basically as attacking as Doherty

      1. MiLK2018
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Is Jonny likely to be rotated?

  8. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Anderson to lingard/martial or save FT??

  9. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Milivojevic has 3 goals in last 4 games, hmmm...

    1. Fergus1107
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He certainly the potential price rise tonight

  10. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Tinkered WC team. Hows it looking?

    Foster Patricio
    Robertson Luiz Doherty AWB Bedbarek Hazard Son Martial Rich Snodgrass

    Mitrovic owners,keep or sell?

    1. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Plan is to keep for these next two and sell for Auba GW21.

      1. wulfrunian
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        thanks

  12. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Just brought him in to enable Salah lol. 2 home fixtures then will move on for Wilson

  13. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is there gonna be a presser of Poch before the deadline?
    I need to decide on Dele Alli - whether to:
    A) keep him
    B) switch to Hazard*
    C) switch to Sterling*
    D) switch to Martial*

    *have Alonso, Sane, Rashford from those teams currently

    what would you advice here?

    1. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not a chance. Doubt they will risk his hamstring.

      B

  14. Alnair
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Currently have 1FT and 4.4m itb. Already done Auba to Rashford.

    Fabianski
    Lovren Doherty AWB
    Hazard Sane Son Snodgrass
    Kane Rashford Mitrovic

    Button Luiz Schindler Hojberg

    Gtg?

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      GTG. Play Luiz?

      1. Alnair
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That's the worry. I think I'm going to hope for jammy points off the bench if he gets something. Just think Pererya or Deulofeu could get something in their form.

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      g2g

  15. BOOM XHAKALACA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hernandez to Ings for a hit or hope he would play?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one. If bench is decent I'd save

  16. JohnBlack
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Captain?

    A) Sane (Lei A)
    B) Sterling (Lei A)
    C) Auba (Bha A)
    D) Martial (Hud H)
    E) Richarlison (Bur A)

    1. BrockLanders

  17. Rash

    Fear I may not get 11 men out this coming gameweek?

    Fab
    Robbo Doherty kola
    Sterling sané martial Snodgrass

    Merry Christmas to those who celebrate 🙂

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      those who will be benched out of those are probably going to make a sub appearance, so you will hopefully get 11 men

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. Good point, hoping those cameos ain't 1 pointers but better than 0 I guess.

  18. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who's more nailed out of Young and Shaw? Young has less legs I guess.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Shaw I'd say

  19. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Am I right in thinking Kane has more chance of starting tomorrow than Salah?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Probably similar. Be absolutely shocked if both don't start tbf

  20. Weilong7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    1) dunk to shaw/digne/doherty?
    rest of def is Laporte Robertson Luiz AWB

    2) no spurs.
    captain salah/hazard/auba?

    thanks

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Digne and Salah

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

    3. Weilong7
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

  21. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Masina

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Holebas nailed I think

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  22. BrockLanders

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone?

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure I would do it for a hit, but they could both pay it be k immediately, having said that

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        *back

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes imo, can work if both start

  23. as33
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any good on my WC: Fab/Hart
    Robbo, Kola, Jonny, Bednarek, WB
    Salah, Hazard, Anderson, Martial, Camarasa
    Kane, Rashford, Jeminez?

    None of City players 🙁

  24. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Is Bednarek nailed?

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      maybe for this GW...Cedric and Bertrand will be back soon

  25. lalua
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    have exact funds to do
    Alonso+Hazard out, Salah + Doherty in

    would you do it?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No

      1. lalua
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        think hazard may start on wing given Morata expected back now
        what say?

        1. Ruinenlust
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Hazard plays better on the wing

    2. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'd be tempted, I think

  26. mdm
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Who to captain:

    A. Kane (BOU)
    B. Salah (NEW)
    C. Martial (HUD)

    1. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kane for me

      1. Arctic_Orangutans
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Martial if chasing :p

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Salah or kane

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Kane

  27. Blame it on Traore
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Do we think Hazard is well worth 11 million on a wildcard or could the money be better spent by going without?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Worth it

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

      Depends who you're getting instead

    3. Ruinenlust

      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  28. The Alli Way
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    A) Fraser > Snodgrass
    B) Fraser > Martial & Alonso > Lovren (-4)
    C) Fraser > Martial & Alonso > Digne
    D) Success > Martial & Alonso > Lovren

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
