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.

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

    Thoughts??

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good

    2. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Like all those moves

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Good moves

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

      Keep in mind chance that Lallana and Phillips may be on bench after playing full games todsy

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys! Yeah scared of the rotation risk but makes my team look a lot better

  2. Art Vandelay

    Do we think Origi will start against Sunderland? I had been planing to ditch for Aguero but not so sure now..

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

      Yeah

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. I think so too, and Sunderland were awful today.

      Perfect farewell from Lovren 🙂

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

        Why get rid

        1. AA33
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Downgrading for Aguero.

        2. Monkey Hanger
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Last game for me too.

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

        Cheers, lads.

        Anichebe to Barnes to afford Siggy to Lallana for free?

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

          Aye

        2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No brainer

        3. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          looks good

        4. AA33
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yes

          • JustPark
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks lads. Holding on to Siggy cost me 0.2 short instead of doing it earlier without the need of sacrificing others.

        5. You Must Be Jokin Ere
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Is the Alonso assist dodgy? What happened?

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Non-owner - it's dodgy, but if FPL want to give then so be it.

            1. You Must Be Jokin Ere
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              The high % owned normally get the benefit......did you see it? Deflection?

        6. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez hazard eriksen siggy
          2ft
          going to do siggy to Lallana

          where to fit in Phillips though ? 😮

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

            Phillips for Siggy. Costa/Kane to Aguero

            1. Phil Dagger ⭐
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              strikers are Ibra costa Origi

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

                Are you keeping Origi?

                1. Phil Dagger ⭐
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  yes
                  hazard downgrade can make way for origi to kun though

          2. Evans
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Don't think you have to fit in Phillips

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

            3-5-2

        7. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A. Siggy -> Lallana
          B. Siggy -> Philips and upgrade Amat/Holebas with the spare.

          Heaton / Pickford
          Baines / Jones / Evans / Holebas / Amat
          Sanchez / Eriksen / Siggy / Hazard / Allen
          Ibra / Costa / Origi

          Cheers

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

            B

        8. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Antonio > 6.7 m ?

          Have Phillips

          1. ZeBestee
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            is Allen a good move for Antonio or save

          2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I'd keep Antonio

          3. FPL Mentor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Id punt on Stanislas n save 1.6m.

            Snoddy another option

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

          when it will be certainly cleared that nyom will go to afcon or not ?

        10. white lightning
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Would you do:
          Cedric & Siggy out - Ake & Lallana in for free-0itb so need to downgrade Cedric to afford Lallana.

          With gw20 just around the corner do these trades now to catch Lallana's price rise.

          Thanks.

          1. ZeBestee
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Cedric will play gw20. Nice move nonetheless

            1. white lightning
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Thanks mate. With VVD red carded & suspended & Soton poor on the road I can't see any reason to keep Cedric.

          One final question: you think Jones will start next?

              9 years, 1 month ago

              Siggy to Lallana, and/or
              Original to Rondon

              1. Cojiro
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Thanks. Already have 3 WBA unfortunately

          4. BB-8
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Any of these worth getting rid of for Kun?

            A. Costa (No Hazard)
            B. Ibra (whm)
            C. Rondon (HULL, -4)

            1. ZeBestee
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              none worth tbh

            2. walkman666
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              No

            3. Evil_Ash
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              No, but maybe Rondon after Hull?

              1. BB-8
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Definitely looking to do Rondon to Kun after Hull. Just wondering if a hit is worth it this week considering the Hull game

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

              Ibra, if you can get Pogba/Mkhi for someone else worth selling could work. Costa is a season keeper imo.

              1. BB-8
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                This is also something I was considering. Ibra's fixtures are still good and was unlucky not to get more today. Agree re Costa

          5. rohan
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Safe to transfer Brunt in ?

            1. BB-8
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yup

            2. Defochibe

            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            A) Siggy Firmino Anichebe > Lallana Philips Tekkers
            B) A) Siggy Firmino Anichebe > Sterling Philips Tekkers

            Would look like:
            Heaton
            Alonso Jones Evans
            Haz Sanchez Lallana Philips
            Costa Ibra Tekkers

            Pickford Can Pieters Amat

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

              A, then try get Aguero for Costa soon 🙂

              1. white heart pain
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Done. Yes Kun planning begins

              2. white heart pain
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I like Tekkers and Philips fixtures with Lallana for pool cover

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

                  Planning siggy allen to philips lallana, what do u think?

                  1. white heart pain
                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    Do it Siggy has been a terrible buy for me. Allen has good fixtures too though but if you have frees Philips

            2. Champione
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Heaton
              Bellerin Valencia Jones
              Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Lallana
              Ibra Lukaku Origi

              Pickford Holebas De Roon Amat

              A) Origi > Benteke
              B) Haz + Origi > Phillips + Costa -4

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

                reply fail..

                Definitely A imo. 3 good moves

              2. white heart pain
                • 15 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Just A - if you can stand kaku's form

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

                  will give him next match to show that he's worth a place in my team. Not having Costa against Spurs isn't a crisis

                  1. white heart pain
                    • 15 Years
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    Agree happy new year!

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

            Not sure too many on here admit their mistakes, but I've made one.

            Mannone was a horrendous pick. A differential too far. Going to swallow my pride and get in Grant already.

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

              Grant is on loan from Derby, so wait and see if he signs permanantly.

          9. mr messi
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Capoue and Pickford to De Roon and Randolph? I need a playing keeper.

          10. James101
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Scored 30 plus bps (Sanchez and Eriksen to come)

            But with 21 points on the bench assuming both S and E play.

            Got to love this game...

              I wouldn't do Firmino to Coutinho, too sideways, besides Firmino should get better returns anyways from Cout's return

              Good team. Eriksen > Coutinho in a few weeks maybe? Not a big fan of Holebas myself, so would try to find a better defender to play soon

            Is mikhitarian worth bringing in?
            Rivals have pogba so no point going there if I'm to close the gap.....

              Can see Lingard and Rashford starting on the wings on Monday, so I would wait a couple of weeks. I like the punt though, brilliant player
