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
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Plan to -8 here.

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

    Do it? Will it pay off instantly?

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

      Not if Phillips and Cabaye are rested.

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Long term?

  6. grig
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is Firmino playing as false 9?

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

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

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

  7. PEPSIMAN
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Origi & Sig to Negredo & Phillips?

    1. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

  8. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    And costa or hazard?

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

      Good question

  9. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months 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

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

        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?

        8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      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
        8 years, 11 months ago

        And I have a playing defender

      2. sambyy
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I don't even have a benched player

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

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

    7. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

    8. TorresMagic™

      • 16 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Surely that's a good thing if you own him?

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Might drop 0.2

      3. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Why? 10 yellows?

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

          Better than his views on the disabled to be fair.
