Leicester and Liverpool have both named full-strength sides as the 2019 Boxing Day extravaganza comes to a close.

The King Power Stadium clash could prove a highly decisive one in this season’s title race and it’s clear each manager, Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp are taking it seriously.

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) naturally leads Leicester’s line supported by James Maddison (£7.8m), Youri Tielemans (£6.5m), Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) and Dennis Praet (£5.3m) in midfield.

As ever, the settled back-four of Ben Chilwell (£5.8m), Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.1m), Jonny Evans (£5.2m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.5m) all keep their places.

Liverpool’s potent front-three of Mohamed Salah (£12.2m), Sadio Mané (£12.2m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) are all involved.

Meanwhile, both Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) start in defence.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi, Praet; Maddison, Tielemans, H Barnes; Vardy.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Keïta, Wijnaldum, Henderson; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    Getting lucky with Alli captaincy
    Tammy-Vardy-Mo no show
    Mane assist
    TAA explosion
    45k to 17k
    What else can I ask for. Want to write a song for Trent.

    Not often a striker gets a brace and loses the baps to a defender 🙂

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yep
      Amazing GW.
      One we'll always remember

  3. SB007

      1. SB007
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

  4. FCSB
    • 10 Years

    Kelly Tammy >> TAA Greenwood (-4)

    2. EMBOLOFAN

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not for a hit. Kelly could easily get CS and TAA can concede

  5. Rash
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Pogba capper 15 points before Leicester game with huge red arrow and then bam 47. Thank you trent

  6. Regin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    An absolute depressing GW. Robbo not taa owner. Captained lundstram. Just 35 pts with only kdb remaining.

    Those who have taa have like 2/3 of my team points.

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I capped Lund too, was feeling drunk and lazy.

      1. Regin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        It seemed like a great punt. But taa fooled all the non owners

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Good week for a punt to be fair, luckily I have TAA.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Me too, that Deulofeu goal sunk my week, until, hello Trent.

  7. chelseabrad
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Captained TAA vs Bournemouth a few weeks ago for him to get subbed off after 50mins and finish on 2pts, took him out this week for a hit to get in Wan-Bisaka ahead of my wildcard this week. Sums up my FPL season so far...

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      awful transfer to be fair

  8. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Thank you TAA. 61 points with Jimenez and KdB to go. Up to 5k OR.

    1. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Solid work. Rescued my week too.

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    1. Jamb0
      • 8 Years

  10. Niho992
    • 7 Years

  11. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years

    title race is so open

  12. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    2FT, 0.2 ITB, thoughts?

    Henderson, Button

    TAA, Pereira, Lundstram, Cahill, Rico

    Mane, KDB, Alli, Grealish, Nakamba

    Vardy, Rashford, Jimenez

  13. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Is it worth doing Son to Martial? Did he look as good as the score line suggests?! (I’ve just got in from work and not seen games)

    1. SB007
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Newcastle mistakes

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        this

  14. jimmyabs1987
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    11 points behind my cup opponent but I have KDB, Sterling to play, none are captain, do you think I will catch him!?

    He has Trent and I dominated elsewhere! V annoying

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Has he got anyone left to play?

      1. jimmyabs1987
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Nope he is all out and that is with TAA bonus added

      2. jimmyabs1987
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry 10 points

    2. Aftermath
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      If city go big you have a chance but 11 pts is a big headstart imo

  15. SB007
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    66 with KDB to go. This morning it was 5 from 5

  16. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Tactical genius Rodgers at it again with Maddison on the left giving TAA the free length of the right side. His lucks out

  17. Henning
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    My plan was to get TAA back for next gw and still is.

    1 Dunk and Aurier out for TAA and Kelly

    2 Dunk and Ings out for TAA and Ayew/ Greenwood

  18. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Best 4.3 mid, will be bench fodder so just concerned with minutes

    1. Jamb0
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      There aren’t really any.. Oriol Romeu?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        OK, I NEED TAA so selling Mount is the best way for me.
        Thanks

    2. The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Romeu

    3. SB007

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully we can stop hearing nonstop updates about him now

    2. Woyofthewovers66
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

    3. Woyofthewovers66

      Hahaha

    4. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Cue KdB to score 30 points tomorrow

    5. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      38th in the world isn't too bad. I'd swap.

  20. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic to Salah

    Yay?

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Both Salah and Mane were off the boil today.

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Doesnt mean much

  21. Woyofthewovers66
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    So glad I kept TAA and my ML rival did Pulisic and TAA to Son and Aurier GW18!

    My GW18 transfers were Son, Pulisic and Abraham to Grealish, Martial and Kane for a -8 hit (keeping TAA and Mane)....big risk at the time but had a 3/4 GW timeframe in my head for when I would see the benefit. Saw the benefit in the first week and now it seems like a great decision!

    Sorry to gloat but this doesn’t happen very often to me! I used to love a transfer but trying to limit my hits. Just fancied Kane over Son for the festive period and it’s worked well. Love to all

    1. Mo Salah No Mane
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You don't have to apologize mate. Well done!

  22. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Im amazed how many people in my leagues who dont own Trent. And a few who benched him lmao

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      ML rival benched him. Won't get him off the bench either. Makes literally no sense to me given TAA's attacking threat.

    2. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      My two rivals in 1st and 2nd don't have him.

      I'm 3rd and cut lead to 20 odd pts...

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I think loads of people took him out for the double, I checked closest, one rival has him, cant believe it.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        closest 7*

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          they all have Robbo for some reason

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Cheaper

    4. SB007
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not many around me own him. A differential !!

  23. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Guy in my ML captain TAA but luckily he is way down

  24. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Salah or Mane on WC? (Same price)

    1. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      coin flip at this moment imo

      Salah rested today usually means a haul up next

  25. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Me - 62 with Kdb (c)

    Cup rival - 60 with Ederson.

    Surely I have this one??

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      As long as City concede you'll be fine

  26. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Not one person mentioned it, Pool CS 😀

  27. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Could be a lot of price changes tonight and tomorrow. Looks like people have gone into overdrive off the back of this GW due to benchings, cameos, blanks and hauls.

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Wildcard deadline also

  28. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Just seen the score. Trent...my word.

  29. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Going to pull the trigger on WC in the morning. Assessment of my current squad:

    Keep: TAA, Lundstram, Soyuncu, Alli, KDB, Salah, Grealish, Vardy, Ings
    Get rid: Heaton, Pope, Guilbert, Kelly, Maddison, Connolly

    Anyone think differently? Finding this pretty difficult!

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      get Mane

      1. OverTinker
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        will he not benched in the next game?

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I got maddison at 7.1 so feel inclined to keep..

    3. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison has great fixtures

  30. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Liverpool fan, 76 with Kdb to go.

    Boxing day couldn't have been much better.

    1. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Enjoy
