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.

    Is Maupay worth the extra money over Connolly?

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

      Neither

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I need a striker for 5.9 or less

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          He is a good option imo.

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

      Yes

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Easily if you must play him

  2. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Mane much more dangerous than Salah

  3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Salah & Mane both have activated doofus-mode tonight it seems

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

    Just relax, more goals will come in this match.

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Surely no one relevant captained Vardy?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Overheard some lads rummaging through the bins talking about that actually. Something about captaining him and breaking into the top 3 mill

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Mark doesn’t even own him

      #MarkKnows

      #MarkKnew?

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      My cup opponent.

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

    Maddison immune to a YC.

    Similar to Mount vs Spurs.

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

      Ridiculous, that's two now

  7. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Why did I bench Trent...........

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      No sympathy for you, sorry

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

      How can you bench TAA? 7.2M benched.

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I think only attention seekers bench such a player
        In all seriousness, it’s an FPL sin

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

      Crystal meth?

    4. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You played a palace defender over TAA? Ouch

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You’ve just learned a valuable FPL lesson, that no amount of reading would ever deliver

      You’ll be a better player for it in the long run 🙂

    6. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Because some people on here told me to. *deletes FFS account* lol

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

        That’s how it works? I’m telling you to go to bed.

      2. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Doubt anyone here told you to bench TAA. Name and shame.

      3. james 101
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        People one here talk a lot of junk

        Some really know their stuff

        Others...

        No big deal mate. Just a game. And as MaxBonPointus said what doesn’t kill your account makes your team stronger...

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

    TAA please score

  9. Licky
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Maddison really should be on a yellow by now.

  10. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Pool Cs will be v bad for my ML and LMS hopes :/

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

    Maddison should have been yellow carded. And I own him..

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      And you should be banned but that hasn't happened either...call it good?

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

        Banned for what?

  12. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Ryan
    TAA Soyuncu Rico
    Kdb Alli Pogba Mane
    Jimenez Vardy Abra
    Button Lundstram Kelly Dendo
    1.7itb 1ft

    Confused about pogba, Abraham etc. Didn't see games today so...
    A. Hold.
    B. Abra to Rashford
    C. Pogba to Maddison/Martial
    D. Defender to Sidibe.
    E. B plus C (-4)

  13. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I sold TAA...for a hit :/
    At least Digne got CS.

  14. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    “Salah and Mane, born within 8 months of each other...”

    Worst
    Stat
    Ever

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      miles would have been impressive

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        / interesting

    2. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Would have been more impressive if they’d had the same mother

      and weren’t twins.

  15. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    TAA is the difference of me getting Sidibe in my wc team. Keeping Trent.

  16. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Which option seems better, for the next 2?

    A) Rashford (bur, ars)

    B) Alli (nor, sou)

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      B

  17. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Robertson can run 10 days without break. What a player

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

      Unless he has to play for Scotland

  18. woodsy1970
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Liverpool are looking solid at the back

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      They’ll concede 1 goal as in most matches

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

    imagine KDB and TAA in the same team. Could happen, Liverpool is KDBs favourite team after all

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, most Belgians grow up supporting Liverpool.

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

        well KDB did, theres a video of him saying it 😀 Supports Pool and his fav player was Owen

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Haha. I’m just being a smartarse.

          By the way, told you TAA was overpriced. 😀

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

            he is over-priced it feels, but his ownership in top 10k, and xplosive nature.
            Out of all defenders and mids under 7.5 he is one of the best options. I see him as a mid not a defender so I dont see 7.0 being over-priced for him. To get best value tho, you need him for the season.

  20. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy getting frustrated

  21. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I hope TAA has a mega haul tonight that all those who went with cheap defenders think twice.

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

      I got cheap defenders and TAA though

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Many Managers in the top 10k do not own Pool defenders.

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        I think we pretty much all have

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You mean enough to phase him in the top 3 defenders?

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Not really, stuck with him and often disappointed, rather double up in mane salah

  22. woodsy1970
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    3 nil final score

  23. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Keita doesn’t have mane in his FPL team

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

    Which WC team is better?

    A)
    Ramsdale McGovern
    Soy Aurier TAA DUNK Lund
    Salah KDB Alli Greslish POGBA
    Vardy Ings MAUPAY

    B)
    Ramsdale McGovern
    Soy Aurier KIKO WEBSTER Lund
    Salah KDB Alli Grealish STERLING
    Vardy Ings GREENWOOD

    1. manu4life99

      A) TAA Dunk Pogba Maupay
      B) Kiko Webster Sterling Greenwood

  25. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Who benches Trent ! Thats wild

  26. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Would you get as Henderson replacement (have Lundy in my team also):

    a) Guaita (have Kelly)
    b) Ramsdale

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      B or Ryan

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

    Mane assist TAA please, that would be nice

  28. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    any Bournemouth defence experts out there?

    J.Simpson was playing instead of?
    Rico and Stacey now first choice full backs?

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

      I think it was Rico

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        ok cheers

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

    Tammy Abraham...people keeping or selling? I’m leaning more towards getting rid. Pretty anonymous today I felt?

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Who would you get?

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

        I’m not sure. Already own Kane and Vardy. Thinking one of Ings or even Calvert Lewis and using the extra funds elsewhere?

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Might sell for rashford as i have cash for it.

    3. Lumberjack
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Selling him and Mount I think. Have money ITB so can swap them for Ings and Salah/Mané.

    4. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Sold already

      Too many blanks

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

        Who did you sell him for?

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

      Getting rid in the next 2 weeks - keeping for Ars away as he always does well away and so do Chelsea

  30. Champione
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Abraham > Ings?

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

      I might do that tomorrow. Collecting cash for double pool attack

      1. Champione
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        A well rested Ings looks good imo. Arsenal are pretty bad though
