A Gameweek that has delivered modest returns so far, continues at pace with an tea-time encounter of some promise.

Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield, with Fantasy managers on alert and on a scouting mission as Sergio Aguero makes a return from a four-match ban to lead the attack for Pep Guardiola’s men.

There’s also a significant change in the Reds line-up, as manager Jurgen Klopp brings Emre Can into his starting XI, shifting Roberto Firmino back to the central striker role, with Divock Origi dropping to the bench.

The Belgian went into Gameweek 19 found in more than 434,000 FPL squads having provided four goals and two assists in his last six appearances.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  5. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Plan to -8 here.

    Siggy + Hazard + Origi + Kane --> Phillips + Cabaye + Costa + Kun.

    Do it? Will it pay off instantly?

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

      Not if Phillips and Cabaye are rested.

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Long term?

  6. grig
    • 9 Years

    Is Firmino playing as false 9?

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

      I'm looking at a website that says Lallana would be playing striker?

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  7. PEPSIMAN
    • 10 Years

    Origi & Sig to Negredo & Phillips?

    1. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 9 Years

  8. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

    choose one:

    a) clyne, hazard, origi -> friend, phillips, kun for -8
    b) siggy, ibra -> phillips, kun for -4 (hope for Origi to play)
    c) no kun next week vs Burn

      That Man U come back was a throw back to the old days it was great stuff to watch as a fan
      Nice birthday present for Fergie he was smiling like a Cheshire cat in the stands after that

      I thought Pogba might not be as effective with Myki playing but he was even more dangerous a treble up with Myki Pogba and Ibra is not such a mad idea they were lethal

        United managed to scrape in a win against a team that was a division lower last season.

        I wonder what the salary difference between the two clubs is?

        very good game, only for the ref to screw it..but there are many better cheaper options..

    6. Fred54

      37 goals between these two sides in their last 10 meetings in all competitions and all I have is 1 benched player.

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

        And I have a playing defender

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

        I don't even have a benched player

      3. Hooky
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I've not even got that! 0 players in the biggest game of the weekend. Think my team needs a serious makeover.

      Selling KDB was such a tough decision. Just know he will punish me. He has been playing brilliantly, just been very unlucky.

    8. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Might drop 0.2

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

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

          Better than his views on the disabled to be fair.
