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.

      0 - Sergio Aguero didn't have a single touch of the ball in the Liverpool box in his 90 minute appearance today. @optajoe

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

        this. No way that's an assist

          8 years, 11 months ago

          I dont really care
          Just dobt like when they make decisions like they are idiots..its just not an assist in this universe

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

            But im glad it will make some idiots on this site happy

        New Years present from FPL Towers.

    12. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Lukaku is probably invited this evening to review the scoring for FPL. He's gonna see some assists that were overlooked. Amat will benefit.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Lukaku - 18 goals a season + dodgy assists - what's not to like?

    13. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Best mid for up to 8.8mil? Currently thinking Pogba or Eriksen

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I just done siggy to Pogba but already got eriksen

    14. thep025
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Bottomed
      So now my team looks like using my FT....
      Pickford Heaton
      Alonso Cedric Jones Barragan Amat
      Sanchez Lallana Eriksen Phillips De Roon
      Ibra Costa Origi
      Anything for a hit?? 4.3 itb....Feels such a crime having so much itb.....

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

        Cedric and Origi are your main problems (Pickford to a lesser extent)

        ...nothing really hit-worthy.

        Cedric to ARS/WBA defender could pay off long term

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

          No way. Cedric is first choice and will play the next match. Hold him, has good fixtures.

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

            Played 2 in the last 5...doesn't smell like 1st choice.

            Southampton leaking goals ATM...VVD suspension ain't gonna help.

            I'd bin him if I owned him

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

      Has anyone got some footage of Alonso assist gate?

    16. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Jesus that's luck -- Cedric subbed out for Lovrens EIGHT points! Happy New Year all

    18. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Phillips, Lallana and Crouch in for Zaha, Morrison, Defoe -8 Yes or no?

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Not crouch

    19. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Planning Siggy > Lallana tonight.

      Is Origi > Rondon worth -4?

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

        I think I am doing these moves.

      2. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Done the exact same moves

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

      Happy owner (atm)... But seriously, was it an assist for Alonso?

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

        no

      2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        No

      3. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I'll take all the help I can get right now 🙂

    23. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Have exact funds for Siggy-> Lallana, would you pull the trigger?

      Initial plan was Kane -> Kun & Siggy -> 5.6 mid (-4). Not convinced by city tho.

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

      imo Klavan should play ahead of Lovren alongside Matip, I like the look of his price at £4.6

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

        I agree that he should but he wont. From a Pool fan too.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          He might

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I'm waiting for a Milner injury so I can get Moreno.

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

          I've gone down that route a few times before, can't say its ever worked out yet

      3. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Been saying this all season. However it feels like forever since we've had 3 good centre backs all playing well so no complaints.

        1. Christina.
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          giving Kun a miss?

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Ready to jump on if I feel the need. Happy with Costa/Ibra for now

            1. Christina.
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Let's hope Alexis causes damage tomorrow.

    25. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      So will Zaha play Swansea or will I ship him out for Couts?

      1. Rossamous
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        It's not yet confirmed that he will stay back from participating in AFCON

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Think they confirmed last week that he will play Swansea

    26. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
