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.

    I can do Kane and Siggy to Aguero and Philips. But if Kane drops tonight, I need to do it now! To soon? Or just do it..?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd probably do it. Might do similarly in a few days (may get Cabaye).

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Do it now if that's who you want. Just be prepared for costa and sig to outscore them this week at least

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't do it for this reason.

      2. John Nerdelbaum

        its kane against chelsea, he shouldnt outscore kun (you would hope)

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ah my bad! Sorry I read it as Costa not Kane and thought it was for the gameweek that has just passed 😆
          Ignore me it's like 7am here

      3. Kanye West Ham
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This week, yes. But next gw, Aguero holme against Burley, and Kane against Chelsea. And, I GOT Costa to 🙂

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          yep see above I'm an idiot until coffee

        2. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Do it imo

          Do we think Aguero will start v Burnley though?

          Liverpool game wil be extremly intense - I can see Pep playing completely different 11 against Burnley less than 48 hours later.

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Very good chance he will start. No way to know for sure.

      4. Get up ya bum

        Ignore this

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      same issue for me, im gonna hold off

      worse comes to the worse i can do holebas > someone for a hit

      1. trimmtrabb
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        In the same position. My policy for the whole season is to act early to catch rises and just take an extra hit if someone gets injured - hasn't backfired yet.

        This situation with Friday Night Football and 2 rounds of fixtures in 3 days makes it a lot more high risk this time. So frustrating to make the same transfers for much more money in 2 days time.

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          yes agree

          complicated by the fact that none of the 4 have played and in the case of siggy and kane you have kept them because you expect them to do well

          sod it, i'll wait and do it for a hit - hopefully kane won't drop

        2. Kanye West Ham
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, same here. But the price on Aguero is locked right? To bad Kane will drop in just few hours.

              this was a positive

        • FISSH
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Costa or aguero is a tough one

          1. Over Midwicket
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Kun. More exciting. Goals, red cards and benchings galore

          2. Get up ya bum

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, Costa has scored more points but then again Aguero is more expensive

            1. Odikostar
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              This.

          4. Bellerinmondo
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            reckon it's Ibra + Kun + Costa or Haz for me

          5. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Sometimes less really is more. Won't have that headache.

          6. JustPark
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Aguero - Rotation risk with european competition.
            Costa - only domestic matches.

          7. Shultan
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If your doing well in ranks/ML stick with costa.
            If doing poorly & chasing then risk it with aguero.

        • willl
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          What is the consensus on Aguero, if there is one?

          I currently have Costa, Ibra and Hazard, should I downgrade one of them to fit Aguero back in?

          1. Numb
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            You'd have to upgrade one and downgrade another presumably.

            1. willl
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I can fit Aguero in if I sacrifice any of them. One of the strikers and it involves a -4, if it's Hazard it involves a -8. Having just thought of it in that way it seems like Costa is the optimal choice for the chopping block.

          2. Shultan
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            General consensus is atleast wait to see how he plays v liverpool

          *Off Topic*

          Are Costa, Kun and Ake free to rise tonight due to the deadline passing or could someone tell me when they are free to rise?

          1. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            They are locked. They unlock after the next deadline passes.
