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.

    Nearly did Kane and Walcott to Costa and Lallana but decided to bank the transfer instead. New year's resolution is going to be to try and be less of a Jonty (dullard)

  2. Aston-villain
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    When will acon players be off?

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

      After GW20 at the latest.

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

        When is Bailey off, TM?

    0.1m off Capoue+Sigurdsson to Phillips+Lallana 🙁

    Could do it for a -8 and get rid of Carroll but hits for the next game seem like a bad idea.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Phillips as a 5th mid in 3-4-3?

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No but longer term I think I'm going 3-5-2

        Would just bench Carroll this week

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of doing this. Could for -4. Would be shifting to 352 with de roon gone instead

    3. FAT PANDA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I feel if you don't take the -8 you might never get them in, they will rise this week.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I can get one either way, just not both without a -8

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

      Wise words! Avoiding hits after GWs like this are very important!

    5. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The way this season is going Siggy points are just around the corner?

  4. Aston-villain
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Are there any dgw's in sight?

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

      no

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

      Around GW32 is usually the 1st.

  5. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Siggy> Lallana seems a no brainer

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

      100% unless you need Kun funds!

  6. Crystal Ball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    City really need to sign a left back, kolarov has been an absolute liability the last 2 months. Poor with the ball and has lost so much pace.

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

    mane rose +4 or kane and eriksen? close one?

  8. ONE PUNCH MAN
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    eriksen/siggy/payet to philips?
    pick one please

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sig
      Payet
      Erik

      That order for me

    2. Bees4Lyf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      siggy

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

    Lallana will get a significant price hike when Mane leaves for AFCON right ?

    Many will make the swap. Siggy;s times done. Lallana welcome to my team 😉

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

      Thinking the same but it would leave me with Mane, Lallana and Origi for the next game!

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Against Sunderland not a bad situation

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

          Cue Firmino's explosion

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

      Even given the choice of all Liverpool mids, Lallana's still probably the one I'd go for over Mane/Coutinho/Firmino

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

    How has Aguero looked these first 18 mins?

    1. AA33
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nice. Energetic.

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

        Worth every penny?

    2. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3-4-3 vs 3-5-2
      Basically one of rondon/benteke/Carroll or
      Lallana/ wally/ sterling/ Philips
      Only one way to go

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      dont suppose robson kanu will ever be nailed?

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

        Nah. Wouldn't go there if I were you.

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What do we think of Bentekkers as an option?

      Home to Swansea on Tuesday.

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

        Hat-trick 🙂

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

        I'm getting him for Origi.
        Good games coming up too

    5. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kun :

      A) essential
      B) not

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

        B

        Saying that, how many times do you have the opportunity to own Kun as a differential?

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Just next week

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

      Kun owners - happy so far?
      Kun non-owners - plaaning to get him in for Burnley, or going without?

      1. Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        B

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

        Captain vs Burnley regardless of what happens now... Hoping he blanks to stay even more under the radar!

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes
        Yes

    7. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      City: 4 clean sheets in 19 prem games. Embarrassing

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And every one buying Stones at the beginning of the season as a cheap way in to the City defence !

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

      What r the thoughts on dann from next gw?

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

      Everyone jumping on Lallana could make Coutinho somewhat of a differential vs Swansea in GW22!

    10. Jay_
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Pogba 3 baps, final.

      • Coaly
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        a) Siggy and Kun
        b) Pogba and Ibra -4

        1. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Would have to say b due to fixtures

      • HazardAGuess
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Team:
        Heaton - Foster
        Alonso - Bellerin - Brunt - Cedric - Amat
        Sanchez - Hazard - Lallana - Can - de Roon
        Ibrahimovic - Costa - Defoe

        Which transfers sound good this week?:
        A) Can > Phillips & Cedric > Ake
        B) Can > Phillips & Cedric > Friend
        C) Can > Phillips & Defoe > Carroll/Gray/etc. (7 max. price range.)

          Yeah same here,

          Capoue, Eriksen, Sanchez, Hazard and Phillips.

        Is jones nailed?
        Thinking of doing Kane, Siggy, Antonio, VVD > Aguero, Phillips, Lallana, Jones .... -8 hit but I think it's worth it. 0.5itb
