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.

    How many double gamerounds will there be, and when will these occur? Anyone knows?

    1. 824545201
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      At least 2 due to league cup final and fa cup quarter finals, they'd occur around GW 34 and 37.

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

        Allright thanks, so i should save my triple cap + bench boost for these, right?

        1. 824545201
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, and ideally your second wildcard as well.

          1. runexd
            • 9 Years

            Allright, thanks m8 🙂 have a good one!

    2. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      plenty of time. no info yet. cup games need to be play first etc.

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

      Dependent on competion clashes or weather cancellations. Likely to be some towards the end of the season, could get some in February/March if weather turns nasty...

  2. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do it?

    Siggy-> Lallana after tonights matches.

    (slightly worried lallana will be rested for sunderland clash which is only 2 days later)

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      don't think that he will be rested. most nailed midfielder i Liv right now.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        they could lineup with something likes this ?

        Origi Sturridge Mane
        Hendo Wijnaldum Can
        Moreno Klavan Lovren Clyne
        Karius

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          hmm true but still..I don't think so. We'll see.

        2. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No European football, A FA Cup game next weekend and Mane off to AFCON next week makes it easy for Klopp I thinK:

          Lallana Henderson Can
          Mane Origi Firmino

          When Mane goes off to AFCON then Coutinho will take his place.

          Does Klopp trust Sturridge? Probably for cameos and cup games - his work rate is below the others, he doesn't play for the team and he is injury prone. If an overseas team or mid-table PL team came in for Sturridge then he would be out the door IMO.

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

      I was almost certain to do it until you mentioned about possible rest. 🙁

    3. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He won't be rested but maybe 60 mins.

    4. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No. Holding transfer this week as bound to mess it up with fixture proximity.

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

          Same here. Hold unless of injury or suspension. It's a lottery more or less as to who will be rested or not in these compressed game weeks.

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

        Minutes are always managed, 1 x 90' since GW5. Having said that I do expect severe rotation @SUN.

      • Legomane
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Will play best team...too far behind Chelsea to rest important fit players

    5. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Starting a new £ ML from GW20. Would appreciate your thoughts on this new team I've made with 100m available.

      Valdes - Hennessey
      Dann - Brunt - Jones - Chambers - Ake
      Sanchez - Mkhi - Lallana - Phillips - De roon
      Ibra - Costa - Rondon

      I've gone for depth in defence as I can't afford a premium Def just yet so I've gone for rotation between good fixtures.

      Any thoughts on changes would be appreciated!

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mkhi to Eriksen I think

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hennessey to Grant for me. But otherwise I like it.

      3. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        nice but any chance for Alonso? maybe get Amat to have some funds.
        Rondon is nice pick with those fixtures but Benteke would give you more points imo and Carroll would give you some funds too.
        I like Miki pick.

        1. Karan_G14
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Alonso is too expensive with only 100m. I'm looking at Luiz if he manges not to get booked today.

          I like Rondon's fixtures more than Carrol's but if he manages to do well today I might change my mind.

      4. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This team is about 97mln
        Heaton, jaku
        Alonso, Jones, Friend, Ake, Amat
        Sanchez, Lallana, Snoddy, Phillips, De Roon
        Ibra, Costa, Rondon

        use this 3 mln to upgrade somewhere

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Heaton, Grant
          Alonso, Jones, Chambers, Brunt, Holgate
          Sanchez, Lallana, Eriksen, Phillips, De Roon
          Ibra, Costa, Rondon

          1. Lone Wolf FPL
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I think it's more than 100mln

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

      The thought of having no money left in the bank(0.0itb) for rainy days is really distracting.
      Foster to Grant/Mannone sounds right?
      Got Brunt for WBA cover and Heaton the other GK.

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

        0.3 gain

      2. karvs155
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, sounds good. Foster/heaton is a btw headache really. Permaplay heaton

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

          Combo since gw3. Ease of mind with reliable gks at disposal.

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

        It sounds ok, but I don't want to spend FT on GK move.

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

          With 2FT currently, might pull the trigger of there's no other issue.

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

            If*

    7. karvs155
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Any of these Worth -4?
      A) Capoue to PHILLIPS
      B) diomande to Carroll
      C) play Pieters (WAT) +4

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

        No, just do (C)

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

        C

    8. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So the effective ownership of Sanchez, Ibra and Costa in the Top 10k is each below 100%... This week I actually get to cheer on all of my players! 😀

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

        Not that I'd ever cheer on a United player of course... 😆

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

        You should do that anyway - surely EO is diminished by the odds of other people having all three?

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

          That factor seems fairly negligible to me, although it's not a perfect model by any means

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

            This game is all about fine margins 🙂

            1. diesel001
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              This game is all about captaincy choices.

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

      To have Kun, I have to choose between Costa or Hazard.

      Sanchez - Eriksen - Lallana - ??? - de Roon
      Ibra - Kun - ???

      (A) Rondon + Hazard + Nyom
      (B) Costa + Phillips + McAuley

      Which one would you pick ?

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

        (B) by quite some margin, haven't had Hazard for ages though so I'm inclined to lean that way

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        B for me.

      3. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        B

      4. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        full team after that?

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

          If B

          Heaton - Grant
          Alonso - McAuley - Holebas - Ake - 3.9
          Sanchez - Eriksen - Lallana - Phillips - (de Roon)
          Ibra - Kun - Costa

      5. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        B. You must have great TV or an awful defence

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

          This

      6. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        B as Costa has his best season.
        I have similar dilemma. Next 3-4 days will give me the answer.

      7. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          B. Very similar to mine.

        • NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A surprise 100% winning for B.

          I guess Costa factor plays a major influence here.

          The defence are not too bad, right ?

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

            B will give u fab team 🙂

      8. UnitednationsXI

        any fanduel tips?

      9. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What would be your ideal affordable front 7 for a WC team? Looking for some inspiration and don't know which of the big 3 up top to leave out

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez - Eriksen - Lallana - Sterling - De Roon
          Lukaku - Ibrahimovic - Costa

          7 of the best 8 teams in the PL covered in that line up.

          1. Professor Abel X
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Sterling is no sort of cover for Aguero though is he?!

            1. diesel001
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Someone has to get the assists. I am also comfortable that Lukaku will get 18-20 goals this season (he has every other season). And Ibra and Costa will be fighting it out for PL top scorer with Aguero behind them. No European football is a massive advantage - look at Leicester last year and Chelsea this season are better than Leicester.

              1. Professor Abel X
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                You make some very interesting points, cheers!

        2. Ferris Bueller
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I've come to the conclusion it boils down to Kun or Hazard for me; I'm planning to go Kun and go with two in-form mids from Phillips, J Rod, Cabaye

          1. Professor Abel X
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Going for the Kobra then? I may go that way too. Far behind in my ML so time to go for it

            1. Ferris Bueller
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              If I can afford Kobra yes, though I'm toying with the idea of 3-5-2 with Costa and Kun upfront. Plenty of decisions to be made!

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

            but none of those mids are in form as such. Fixtures is an argument for them but form really isn't atm.

        3. MTPockets
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Sanchez, Coutinho, Lallana/Pedro, Phillips
            Aguero, Ibra, Costa

            1. Professor Abel X
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Nice, I like that

            2. HurriKane
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              needs more eriksen. 5 goals 4 assists in last 6

              and check his fixtures from gw23-34 😉

              1. MTPockets
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Only way I can fit him in + Sanchez/big 3 is downgrading Alonso or 2x 4.4m defenders

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

              Sanchez / Hazard / Coutinho / Lallana + Wally (or Sterling)

              Ibra / Costa

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

                This is interesting too.

          • Ferris Bueller
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Which option would you prefer?
            A Valdes & Nyom (already have Brunt)
            B Hennessey & Chambers

            1. Professor Abel X
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              B

            2. Lone Wolf FPL
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              A
              as Henn may loose his place

              9 years, 1 month ago

              Asked a similar question yesterday

              Are you dumping Pickford and looking for a Heaton rotation?

              Valdes rotates quite nicely, if so

              As mentioned above, Hennessey perhaps not 100% nailed when Mandanda comes back in a few weeks

              1. Ferris Bueller
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Cheers BC. Dumping Pickford but having to go cheap and nailed (alongside Grant and nothing ITB)

                I've a feeling BFS will go with Hennessey over Mandanda, but just my gut and I can't afford the gamble

            9 years, 1 month ago

            Can someone explain to me how this is even possible?? You only have 15 players a team. How do you end up making 27 transfers?? 😀 😀

              1. Lone Wolf FPL
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                wtf??

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Look at the gameweek history. That last 9 gameweeks.

            1. diesel001
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              1 transfer every week + wildcard.

              1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                LOL!

              2. Amsterhammer
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years

                It's showing 27 transfers in one game week though. I assume he buggered his WC by forgetting to press confirm.

              probably a lot more than that if you used WC

              27 transfers in one week (-104 hit) !!
              GW rank 4,248,875 and Total Players: 4,270,527. How this is possible ??

              1. Lone Wolf FPL

                112k to 4mln in 3 GW. noice 🙂

                    I get gutted when I take a 4 pointer while on average this guy has been taking a 27.7 point hit each gameweek hahahaha...
                    God bless this poor soul

                    he peaked at 288k gw 8... do you think that maybe a ML rival got a hold of his password?? LOL!

                    1. Lone Wolf FPL

                      it looks like it

                9 years, 1 month ago

                But the other implication is that ~22K (4,270,527 - 4,248,875) players scored WORSE than -104

                You've not found the bottom of it 🙂

                  At least he didn't have far to drop! -104 and he only dropped about 135k spots...

                I rage sold him last night to aguero, it felt great!

              Good striker against a bad defence... Not the worst call in the world. But i like going for an elite 10m+ captain, otherwise whats the point in having em

            5. diesel001
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I have said it time and time again - Lukaku is the type of guy you put in your team and just leave him there. Don't captain him and don't sub him. He will get you 18 goals a season. With hindsight this would have been a good strikeforce to have from GW1 and without the price rises it would have been affordable too:

              Ibra - Costa - Lukaku

            • 16 Years

            To Aguero or not to Aguero

            Just need to downgrade Hazard to bench fodder

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

              It might be worth if the bench fodder is the 5th mid and 3 reliable strikers.

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

                Costa Ibra Aguero would be the front 3 and it would mean playing Capoue as my 4th mid

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

                  Nayy

            2. HurriKane
              • 13 Years

              you would change your mind after hazard haul tonight

            3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Hazard is actually very cheap, that's whats putting me off downgrading him.

                • 16 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

            • 15 Years

            Think Kevin Mirallas now needs to be added to midfield watchlist... Form, Fixtures AND price tag.

            Mirallas, Phillips, Chadli, Townsend, Puncheon, Cabaye,Stanislas, Snodgrass, Allen, Capoue.... There are so many viable cheap mids this year.

              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Better than my -5 with 10 to play

            2. HurriKane
              • 13 Years

            0.1 ITB & 1 FT

            What should I do next gameweek?

            A Pickford > Valdes
            B Defoe > Benteke

              Too much in D.

              Need to start downgrading to fund a better attack. Especially if you want kun.

              9 years, 1 month ago

              Allan Nyom looks set to depart for AFCON after GW 20

              http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/west-bromwich-albion-fc/2016/12/30/tony-pulis-says-losing-allan-nyom-for-january-would-be-a-big-blow/

              This means that Chris Brunt is likely to slot in at left back after GW 20, denting his out of position appeal.

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

                doesnt matter where he plays . he has a deadly cross in him and can get attacking point from anywhere on the pitcg

                2. AA33
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    Agree. Only his out of position appeal has gone, but overall he is a very good option,, on set pieces as well.

                      Brunt is a great option. A great crosser, on set pieces and has great fixtures.

                    Hang about, has anything actually changed here? Cameroon always wanted him to play, its Nyom that doesn't want to go.
                    Pullis has to publicly support the country or he will likely get shafted by FIFA. Your move Nyom - same as before.

                    I asked 10 times and everyone here said he is not going
                    And I transfered him in last night

                          still a good option. full backs can sometimes get more space look at alonso albeit in a 343

                        If he refuses to go FIFA can ban him from playing for WBA until Cameroon are out of the tournament can't they?

                          on the plus-side, it makes Brunt more nailed

                            How can you be more nailed than nailed? Brunt is a pulis favorite and likely one of the first names on the team sheet if not the first. It's not a matter of if he plays ever but where he plays

                          I looked at dozens of sources about Nyom not wanting to go, so I got him on my wildcard this week. 😡

                          At least I have an interest in AFCON now... It would be pleasing to see Cameroon get hammered.

                          Depends. Are you pro Kun?

                            I am pro Kun, the thought of non-ownership is uncomfortable. Much more so than not owning Hazard.

                            I found I can get this mid/fwd lineup by downgrading Hazard:

                            Sanchez - Lallana/Coutinho - Phillips - Eriksen - Allen

                            Ibra - Costa - Aguero

                              Like it. A lot. Go for it.

                                Thanks, would mean a -4 but the way this season has gone for me I have nothing left to lose 🙂

                                  Actually would you bring in Coutinho now considering he is due back on the 14th, or Lallana for now and transfer out once Cout is confirmed as playing? I would prefer to own Cout over Lallana tbh.

                                    I wouldn't bother with Lallana. Get Cout when he's ready.

                          I was 150k around this time last season. Finished with a 2 digit rank.

                          Never give up. Its 1 good week away from 50k Malcolm.

                              I was a similar rank to lateriser at this point last season and finished top 500. Keep going and the tide will turn. Those DGW's will make a massive difference if you nail them.

                                  Hello good Sir. Doing ok at around 40k. What about yourself? Ready to pounce in the second half of the season 😉

                                    Lets hope so. I've come from 200k to 100k recently. Gone maverick tonight with Mkhi (c).

                              people keep saying it but high finishes are still possible from nearly any current OR.
                              leader of Jonty's millionaire league went from (i think) about 1m to 65k in 5 weeks - no hits, no chips

                                in fact go down that league table a lot of 500k+ climbs in 5 GWs.

                              Eh? There's still 20 GWs to go, it only takes 1 GW to half your OR... you have to be mentally strong to play this game, rough with the smooth & keep going. If you've got a bad rank in GW38 then its time to call it a day... For 2 months then comes a chance to implement all the lessons learned from this season 😉

                              158k is fine at this point. You'll easily claw that back

                              I'm still not even under 300k and hoping for good things.....whether they'll come or not is a different story

                              you're probably around 960pts which means you're only about 50 pts from top 25k. HArdly disasterous.

                              so Lallana Aguero and Anichebe vs Can, Ibra and Benteke then?

                              would want to play 4 at the back with those tbh

                            Greetings from down under, any thoughts on Hazard, Siggy and Origi out for Phillips, Cabaye, Aguero?

                            Morning all, very excited for today.

                            Is a midfield on Siggy Wally Antonio Lallana Capoue too weak?

                            Looking at accommodating Costa Ibra Kun.

                              Not a fan of that midfield.

                              Yes. Would prefer Sanchez, Lallana, Eriksen, Antonio, De Roon.

                            Thinking of having extra accounts of fpl next season apart from main one to score at least once for manager of the week.

                                That's too strong. Strategy suits well I reckon.

                                  It's accurate.

                              Morning guys,

                              Team is in a bit of a mess, took a couple of chances that didn't take off,

                              Heaton - Pickford
                              Alonso - Jones - Evans - Holebas - Cedric
                              Hazard - Walcott - Sigurdsson - Lallana - De Roon
                              Kane - Costa - Lukaku

                              1ft 0.0

                              I was thinking Kane and Sigurdsson to Aguero and Phillips
                              And bringing in Grant next week should his stoke move become permanent

                                They still score goals galore.

                                The man city game will have lots of goals id imagine

                                Look at their results against the big teams at the start of the season.

                                Arsenal 3 Liverpool 4 springs to mind.

                                Keep 1 attacking player but sell defenders.

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

                                  0-0 against Man United though(they kept cs!).

                              6. Over Midwicket

                                Keep all assets you have. They can score 5 goals against any team in the league. Lallana is amazing value. Monitor Origi but he should keep starting and he's cheap. When Coutinho's back, try to draft him in. Enjoy the points.

                                Oh and ignore their defence.

                              7. Emiliano Sala

                                I have mane and origi and want to swap mane to coutinho but hard fixtures and 2 attacking players ?

                              Morning! I see some very knowledgeable posters are up so I'll take my chances.

                              Got 2 FTs but the players I would like to ship (Clyne, siggy) both have great fixtures.

                              Considering Kane > Aguero and Carroll > Anichebe.

                              Thoughts?

                              Heaton

                              Clyne - Brunt - Cedric
                              Sanchez - Hazard - Siggy - Lallana - Allen
                              Ibra - Kane

                              A. Carroll, Holebas, Amat, Pickford
