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.

      That is gas he will probably win the cup as well at the rate he is going!

      Just shows what a core group of 6/7 players can do and a consistent captain.

      Food for thought.

          Maybe.

          I bookmarked him will be interesting to keep an eye on and the other question is will he finish ahead of Ville Ronka?

            No chance.

      I don't think it is a dead team though. He changes his formation and captain every week. I bet it is a second account and he has seen how he does if he doesn't change his team from start to finish.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Autosubs change the formation? Costa is captain.

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ahhh yeah. I just tapped back a few times and then a few more times. I assumed the red flagged players were the flags for that week, not present day. Ooops. It IS late....

    Keep Friend on wildcard or switch to Chambers?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      There must be someone better on a wildcard

      1. michudagawd
        • 13 Years

        May go for Alonso Rose Brunt Francis and Amat then.

    So who is getting Barkley? This is the point where he goes on his 4 match world beater streak, makes a brief appearance in the OR dream team, gets his ownership above 30%, before fading into obscurity for the next 10-12 GWs. Everton have the two biggest trolls in the league.

    With the inconsistency of the mid-priced strikers KOBRA is looking more and more tempting but a lot can change in a gameweek. That being said a number of different options have tempted me.

    A. Aguero and Lallana in for Costa and Hazard -4
    B. Aguero and Stanislas in for Defoe and Hazard -4 (KOBRA)
    C. Aguero, bench fodder (4.2), Jones in for Defoe, Hazard and Kingsley -8 (KOBRA) (go 433)
    D. Leave Defoe, Hazard, Costa in my team

    Hi .. What is the latest opinion about price rise / fall ?

    Kane will not drop tonight yet, right ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      11 minutes to find out.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Risky to wait, but riskier to make the move now.

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Going to suck it and see. Only 0.1 at the end of the day.

          1. NATSTER
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            It looks like Lallana doesn't rise. Hope it ended like this.

  7. Dougie Jones
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane and Siggy -> Kun and Philips

    or

    Kane and Iheanacho -> Costa and Rondon

    I like the idea of getting Kun in ahead of the crowds but in order to make that move I'd be stuck with Iheanacho for a few more weeks I imagine doing nothing but losing value

  8. bobinjo
    • 11 Years

    Philps or Chadli lads?Got 6,7 itb.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Allen

  9. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else think Toure takes City's next penalty even if Aguero is on the pitch?

    1. Optimus.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He should as Aguero is poor at them

    2. DF
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't reckon.

    3. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      cant see it. Kun the main man

  10. Radagast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Considering a one week punt lads...

    Recently brought in Eriksen, but don't really fancy his chances against Chelsea defence. Would you recommend any of the following:-

    A) Firmino vs sun
    B) Sterling vs BUR
    C) Any other milf with plum fixture I'm missing

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Milf with plum fixture...

      1. Radagast
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ha!

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'd keep Eriksen.

          Ozil too expensive? Just feel BOU's attacking game is perfect for Arsenal.

          1. Radagast
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, unfortunately 0.6 short of Ozil. Would go for him if I had the cash... Just lost Wally, gutted!

    2. DF
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Christian is not a bad shout for the Chelsea game. I can see a 2-2 or 3-2 sort of scoreline.

      1. DF
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'd keep him

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

      Sterling or Yaya

    4. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha the obvious one if one week

    5. Radagast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers! Nice options all! Eriksen has been getting loads of shots away. Think I'm going to punt on someone though. Just in that kind of mood! Plenty food for thought!

  11. woody3260

    walott and origi to snodgrass and giroud?

    1. dhamphiir

      Nahh

  12. shearer9
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What do we think of Barkley? Interesting differential, he has the fixtures after City

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be a bit wary, not playing all that well atm, better last night though but not quite there.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He is the ultimate flaky player.Sums everton up no consistency.

      If you him leave him in your team and forget about him then.

  13. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Currently on a stinker of a run of Captain choices...

    GW13 - KDB 1pt (instead of Sanchez 14pts)
    GW14 - Zaha 3pts (instead of Sanchez 23pts)
    GW15 - Hazard 3pts (instead of Zaha 16pts)
    GW16 - Costa 2pts (instead of Rondon 17pts)
    GW17 - Costa 6pts (instead of Azpi 12pts)
    GW18 - Sanchez 3pts (instead of Ibra 15pts)

    79 missed points, that would have put me Top 50 !!

    GW19 - Sanchez ..... tba 🙂

    1. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Those captain points ARE pretty poor, but you never would have captained Zaha or Rondon or Azpi, so you are just frustrating yourself unnecessarily. How did you VCs do? That's the more apt comparison.

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        But I did captain Zaha the week before 🙂

        1. punkINdrublic
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          God, I nearly captained Zaha last week. Changed it to Ibra an hour before. I had pretty much convinced myself Zaha was going to get 13/14 points lol.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Picking your highest scorer doesn't really count.

    3. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      but you were ever gonna captain those guys so whats point in caring. Theres a lot of luck in this game

  14. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Will I or won't I.

    Kane rising or not rising is massive..

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      when will we know?

    2. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      oh and don't until the games IMO

  15. Netley Lucas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    You better not go up Ashley Barnes...

  16. Rate My Tome
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else been thinking about Yohan Cabaye. Palace have incredible fixtures coming up, and with Zaha going to AFCON and Benteke being his usual unreliable self, I've been looking at his stats and I think he is definitely one to keep an eye on.

    These are his stats in the PL. They don’t factor in sub appearances, yellow cards, clean sheets or BAPS.

    Season - Starts - Goals - Assists - Points per start

    11/12 - 34 starts - 4 goals - 8 assists - 3.2 points per starts (pps)
    12/13 - 25 starts - 6 goals - 2 assists - 3.3 pps
    13/14 - 17 starts - 7 goals - 4 assists - 4.7 pps (went to PSG in the Jan transfer window)
    15/16 - 32 starts - 5 goals - 1 assist - 2.8 pps
    16/17 - 10 starts - 2 goals - 0 assists - 3 pps

    It’s clear he was a much better fantasy prospect in his last season at newcastle (13/14). Since he has been at Palace he hasn’t really been setting the world alight. That’s his main con as far as I see it. At the moment you’re getting 3 ppg for a 5.6 player. If you compare him to someone like Phillips or Snodgrass, it’s not really enough.

    That said, it’s clear he’s an incredibly gifted player with the potential to get those kinds of returns again. I thought he was looking really lively against Watford, and I think the way Allardyce plays the game will definitely benefit him with the kinds of players that palace have. He hasn't got form yet but I'll be checking up on his underlying stats over the next couple of gameweeks.

    If he gets penalties from Tekkers that’s also in his favour. In his PL career he has only ever scored 4 penalties, so 15 of his 19 goals come from other sources. And yet, in his entire career he has scored 16 of the 18 penalties he has taken, so if he does get them he won’t bloody well miss them.

    And then finally there are his fixtures. Next 10 games: Arsenal, Swansea, West Ham, Everton, Bournemouth, Sunderland, Stoke, Middlesborough, West Brom, Spurs. 8 of those he could very well return points in, if palace get their act together.

    At this moment in time, he’s clearly a ‘Not Yet’, but there isn’t much going on in the 5-6 price bracket at the moment and he's an interesting prospect if you want to Kobra sometime soon.

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's a class act on his day, need to see how Big Sam 'plays' things, 1 game isn't enough but yeah, onto the watchlist.

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yup, getting him and Phillips to afford Kun Ibra Costa.

      Mirallas, JRod and Stanistlas are also good options.

    3. Diva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If he's on pens and pushed into a more advanced modfield position, he's one to keep an eye on. If he's deep and not on pens I'd look elsewhere.

      1. Rate My Tome
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This might be the crunch issue. If Palace buy a CDM in the transfer window and he gets pushed forward he might be a bargain.

  17. shearer9

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for some tips. I have two transfers saved up, but nothing in the bank. Should I make any transfers or keep:

    Cech (Pickford)

    van Dijk A.Valencia Koscielny (Alonso, Holebas)

    Zaha Mane Ozil Sigurdsson (Romeu)

    Ibra Benteke Defoe

    Any tips are very welcome, thanks!

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

      Downgrade Koscienly and upgrade your striker

    2. Liftbox
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Huge back line there.

      Best would be to start to free up some space there.

      maybe Kos to mustafi?

      1. shearer9
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mustafi injured I believe. Good shout though, I should downgrade

    3. DF
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pickford could be sorted if you're happy with your team

      1. shearer9
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Don't have the funds. Can't make more than one transfer because I need to sell Mane and Zaha next week because of AFCON

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      yes if you are priced out

      1. Farcelona

        I shouldn't be - I definitely have enough spare.

    2. Diva

      You need to make them by 10 last the hour.

      1. Diva

        *past

      2. michudagawd
        • 13 Years

        I did mine a few weeks ago at 11 past haha.

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

          You might get away with it at 11 past, but it is best to work on the basis of 10 past to be safer.

    3. Farcelona

      Thanks both - it didn't matter anyway, only Sterling rose of the players I want to bring in.

    Snoddy only scored because I just took him out. Being 'due' a goal IS real, I tell ya

      Foo, took that risk and it paid off...Now we can scout them next targets 😀

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

        Baines will do better than Alonso in the upcoming games.

    5. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

      Such a great day. Kane & Lallana don't change yet.

    6. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Dann (yesterday) and Benteke falls most useful. 🙂

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

        Sounds like you're planning to put a lot of faith in Big Sam.

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

          And the fixtures. I may not get both but at least one I think.

          1. Diva
            • 11 Years

            Good luck!

        And Ward a few days ago it is too good to be true it must be some kinda honey trap

    7. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nice. Another day without a Kone drop. That all-critical Kone to Chambers transfer is still on the cards!! 🙂

    8. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers TM, +2 and no Barnes rise, yes! lol

    9. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Price wise and points wise my walker to baines worked out a treat.

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That was my move this week also, so pleased with that and has freed up funds for my Aguero swoop.

    10. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Excellent news on Kane not rising and Bentekke dropping

    11. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No Lallana rise after all. Just need to hope he doesn't get injured tomorrow now I have already bought him in. Eager little beaver aren't I?

    12. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why didn't Lalana rise? He was well over 100%

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        *Lallana

  24. joescores
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Baines went up

  25. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Baines - OR - Brunt?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Baines

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm debating going double Chelsea during their good run or double on these two. I currently have Cedric so we'll see how he goes.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Get these two. You're basically playing with two extra guys in midfield.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Got baines today for his 7
      Getting brunt next for hull.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        well done. baines is a baps magnet, he should do well. hopefully they can actually keep a few cleanies :-s

    No offence, but you guys take price changes way too seriously.
    I dont leave my transfers to the day before, but I normally just wait and only bring someone in quick when they have scored big and everyone is going for.
    Like why rush ur decisions, I prefer letting fate decide. Some prices changes might be annoying but you can always find someone else.
    And I have a better TV then most other teams

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      you have to consider prices in your moves, you just do, sometime its worth waiting sometimes it isnt, all part of the fun.

    2. Diva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I like the price change fun in the first half of the season. Now I've made my money it is time to change tack. 🙂

    3. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Link to your team?

    4. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Let fate decide? No thank you, I prefer to make my own choices. And they're not rushed at all, I do plenty of thinking before hand, just because I don't have some mid-week articles doesn't make it a rushed decision. The only information that gets missed are midweek injuries (which are often too last minute to matter) and the occasional useful tidbit from a Friday presser. The fact is there isn't always 'someone else'. If you've got a Sanchez sized chunk of cash to fill a hole, there is no other competition around that price for even close to his value. It all adds up in the end, 0.1 here and 0.1 there, every week. If you have TV it means you've either been making lots of transfers to follow bandwagons or you've been extremely lucky so far with you're players rising nicely and not being fire-sold by others.
      Just the other side of the coin 🙂 everyone plays differently.

        Ibra needs 2 goals for the most in 2016 out of anyone, thats a pretty impressive accolade if he can beat Messi to it. Do you think he can do it? Is the whole Man U squad just going to be there to cheer on Ibra and assist him? 😀
        I know Boro are pretty good in defence, but I would have said there is a bigger argument for captaining Ibra more then anyone.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I have him so I hope so 😉 it's definitely achievable, especially if they nab a cheeky pen.

      It is not all down to addicts like us
      I was down in the pub a few weeks ago and Aguero got sent off and i seen a kid pulling out his iphone and transferring in Costa just after Costa limped off

  27. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My projected team next week (doing a -4 annoyingly since 0.1 out for Kun/Phillips)

    Grant
    Monreal, Chambers, Nyom
    Sanchez, Hazard, Phillips, Allen
    Aguero, Ibrahimovic, Origi

    Subs: Pickford, Fletcher, Luiz, Amat

    Thoughts?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Get Allen instead if you can avoid the hit.

      1. Sepp Blattered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Already in my team brooo

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Oh. It's 2:30 am. Sorry.

          In that case go for it.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks very solid. I'm worried about Origi in the medium term.

  28. sthelenslad92
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Current team:

    Grant – Pickford
    Alonso – Holebas – Friend – Nyom – Kingsley
    Sanchez – Hazard – Siggy – Lallana – De Roon
    Ibra – Costa – Origi

    WC team options:

    A) Valdes – Grant
    Alonso – Holebas – Evans – Ake – Amat
    Sanchez – Hazard – Lallana – Phillips – De Roon
    Aguero – Ibra – Carroll

    B) Valdes – Grant
    Alonso – Dann – Holebas – Ake – Amat
    Sanchez – Hazard - Lallana – Antonio – De Roon
    Ibra – Costa – Carroll/Negredo

    C) Hennessey – Grant
    Alonso – Rose – Francis – Friend – Amat
    Sanchez – Hazard – Alli – Lallana – De Roon
    Kane – Costa - Anichebe

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Brunt is essential. Get rid of Holebas.
      Don't pick Amat. Go for Ake + 4.4 from MID.
      Roon > Clayton if you need the extra .1

      A looks best out of those.

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Have you already made some transfers and activated your wildcard, or can you hold off? There is no need to wildcard that team.

  29. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Going forward would you rather have:

    Ibra+ Alli
    or
    Aguero+ Antonio

    (guess it depends how Kun looks tomorrow?)
