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.

    Thoughts on Zaha ahead of Palace's really easy fixtures?

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

            Saw something on here about flu and him not being seen in training

    Really enjoying the massive Jameson's advert next to the huge scoreboard on the stream I'm watching.

  4. le flem

    aguero proving any threat?

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

      Just had a shot

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

    2FTs, 0 ITB. Middling issues with Holebas and Origi and scared of rotation with next GW, so not sure its wise to be hasty.

    Obviously need to make 1 FT anyway, Thinking Holebas > Ake or Walker > Ake, latter would free up way more funds and then keep the 2 transfers for looooooong gap between GWs 20 and 21. No doubt the market is gonna be mental.

    8 years, 11 months ago

    Hazard+Kightly -> Ozil + Phillips

  15. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Do we think Origi is going to start against Sunderland? Really dont want to take a -4 to get rid of him.

    1. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      No idea. Might play sturridge

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      He won't, firmino will play. I am getting rid.

      1. jam
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Even if Firmino plays 90 today?

    3. jam
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Have him too. tricky huh.
      Not really convinced by Rondon and it sucks dropping someone playing Sunderland.

  16. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Suggestions for a good defender priced 5.4 and under?

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

      Valencia? Brunt?

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Have McAuley. Might take a punt on Valencia

    2. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ake

      1. Make United Great Again

    5. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      This would be a lot easier, Uncle Tw*t and his black and white cat, if you had started out by telling us what defenders you already had

    6. ***00tennis***
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Baines/Daniels/Gibson/Blind/Valencia

  17. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years

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

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

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Bale gate a few years ago took about 2 or 3 days to sort out

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      FPL towers run the show. They do what they want

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      that's a one way trip back down to where they belong then

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Seems like an appointment to get them out of The Championship at the first attempt rather than to try and stay in the Prem.

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