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. JJO
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

        New Years present from FPL Towers.

    12. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

    13. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I just done siggy to Pogba but already got eriksen

    14. thep025
      • 10 Years

      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
        9 years, 1 month 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
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month 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
            9 years, 1 month 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
      • 13 Years

      Has anyone got some footage of Alonso assist gate?

    16. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not crouch

    19. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Planning Siggy > Lallana tonight.

      Is Origi > Rondon worth -4?

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

        I think I am doing these moves.

      2. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
        • 9 Years

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

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

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

        no

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

        No

      3. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

    23. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He might

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Harper_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month 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
        9 years, 1 month 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.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          giving Kun a miss?

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

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

            1. Christina.
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Let's hope Alexis causes damage tomorrow.

    25. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

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

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Think they confirmed last week that he will play Swansea

    26. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
