Less than 48-hours after the end of the previous round of fixtures, the festive schedule serves up a Friday evening “treat” as Gameweek 19 gets underway at the KCOM Staidum.

Hull City’s home form could barely be more encouraging for Everton. The only side yet to chalk up a clean sheet in front of their own supporters, the Tigers also boast the joint-worst home scoring record, netting just nine times in as many matches.

Owned by 5% of Fantasy Premier League managers, Robert Snodgrass is clearly the man most likely to do the damage – the Scot has already served up three double-figure hauls at the KCOM.

Wins against Arsenal and Leicester in the last three have reignited Fantasy interest in Ronald Koeman’s men as the Toffees looks to take advantage of some fine winter fixtures.

With three goals in the last four Gameweeks, Romelu Lukaku has proven a more popular transfer target than Sergio Aguero this week, with over 50,000 FPL managers drafting in the big Belgian ahead of tonight’s deadline.

Koeman moves back to a four-man defence this evening after earning just a fourth clean sheet of the season at Leicester City with a three-man backline. Disappointingly, that sees the 4.0 priced Mason Holgate drop the bench and both Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines reverting to traditional full-back roles.

      3. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years

        This. People like to complain for any reason.

        1. jurgenklopp.8
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          no I'm complaining because of the poor everton start.

    2. deanrpwaacs
      • 9 Years

      So he could watch the ball ?

    3. jurgenklopp.8
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      seeing as you have all jumped on this i'd like to say that if you are watching the game you would know they are playing poorly. I'm not complaining because of a CS loss - if anything that means lukaku will try to score more.

    The one time I play Williams. Bound to happen.

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Not really, he's only had 4 CSs all season

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I think I managed to bench him for atleast two.

    2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Your bench fodder is Williams? Well played, you must be a millionaire.

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Wouldnt say bench fodder. Prefer Alonso, Holebas and Walker most of the days though.

  25. Numb

    One thing I don't understand re price changes

    As TM says, they freeze prices once a red flag is removed to stop prices rocketing

    But, by the same logic, why don't they freeze them when the flag is added in the first place, to stop the price plummeting?

    E.g. Costa's price fell sharply when red flagged but now everyone is buying him back but to no effect on price.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Don't ask questions comrade

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      The addition of the flag does slow down the price movement. Hence why Coutinho won't fall below 8.2 even though he started the season at 8.0. The price lock after the flag removal is also useful for those who don't necessarily check FPL often, or just check in once a week to sort out their team, so that they don't miss out on multiple price changes when a flag is removed.

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Well I guess there is some logic, but if they actually communicated to the masses via the Player's Page on the actual site when a player is gonna be unlocked then this wouldn't be an issue.

    3. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah its stupid, all those transfers in on the first night would only equate to 0.1 rise, so they have something already built in to deflect 'prices rocketing'.

      Shocker of a system.

    4. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      If a player does well like lallana his price rockets, so why should the price rocket of removing a flag be stopped.
      For those people like me who lost 0.2 in sell value as we bought him at a purchase price ending in even number & he dropped 0.3 won't get that back as his sellers who are buying him back are not affecting his price

    My "highest of the day team" has Davies + Dawson haha. Neither TC so I've probably already lost.
