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.

      Looking to dump ibra? Don't do that, he's way to consistent to be dumping right now.

      I'd just do capoue to Phillips if you want 352.

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

      Why dumping ibra?

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hole to Ake/ or Capoue to Phillips

  2. ZakAFC_

  4. Paul
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Him : Monreal + 20 pts
    Me : Alli + Sanchez (c)

    any chance???.... trailing to a dead team here!!

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

      A chance but less than 30% IMO

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

        thought so... need Sanchez to go crazy

  5. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Any brunt captainers vs hull?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nope, Brom don't really care about the clean sheet this season. Not worth relying on attacking returns, way too risky. One snoddy set piece and your captain is getting 2

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

      Downgrading Hazard to get Aguero and Pogba. Already have Costa and don't have Ibra.

      Yay or nay?

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Too afraid to lose Haz but it makes sense with this tough fixture run ahead.

    3. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Best siggy replacement?
      Pogba or lallana?
      No Liverpool cover!

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

        Lallana

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

        Lallana then

    4. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      8 point hit to get kun is new year madness right?

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

        Yes

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. I think he is overpriced and playing in a poor team relative to thier expectations.

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

      So y didn't Jones play?
      Will he play Tuesday?

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Because man united have other centre backs

        I don't know

      2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The announcers for the Man U match seemed assured that Jones will play GW 20. They nearly lost 0-1 to a weak attacking team so I am sure Jose will go back to the successful back 4 and Carrick at mid

    6. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero hasn't touch the ball once in the Liverpool's penalty box

      1. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        essential

      2. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Means very little for his next game

    7. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      hazard & origi to lallana & costa for -4

      a) yay
      b) nay

      thanks

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        a

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

        Yes

    8. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My sub bench has been decimated: pickford, anichebe and amat all out.
      Pieters only fit sub.

      Llorente also a "first team" doubt unsure what to with him is Rondon the obvious replacement?

      Or should I be looking at other choices .6m in the bank

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking the same- Rondon or keep Origi- tough choice

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

      Ok. Need to downgrade a defender by at least 0.1m to afford Siggy to Lallana.

      Who down I downgrade and to who?

      A. Ake.
      B. Alonso.
      C. Jones.
      D. McAuley.
      E. Francis.

      Thanks!!

      (and HAPPY NEW YEAR!)

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

            I have Phillips already

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

      Heaton • Jaku
      Alonso • Cedric • McAuley • Holebas • Amat
      Hazard • Walcott • Payet • Siggy • Alexis
      Ibra • Llorente • Anichebe

      2FTs, 1.5ITB

      A) Walcott/Payet/Llorente => Phillips/Mirallas/Aguero
      B) Walcott/Payet/Anichebe => Phillips/De Roon/Aguero
      C) Other options

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

        B looks good

    12. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How do people think Big Sam will set up Palace now that he is there? I dont know anything about the guy so im not up to speed with how he manages his teams.

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

        Not totally sure as he'll have his own assessment on squad.
        Obviously picks are Zaha Tekkers & Danny.
        Personally I'm watching Ward & Cabaye.

        1. Heavy Data
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ye ive got my eye on Cabaye with the fixtures coming up and the possibility of him being the penalty taker. I was going to bring him in for the Swansea game but after seeing Liverpool and Sunderland both play earlier i think i'll play Can and wait on Cabaye.

    13. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      2FT's and not sure what to do. Apart from sell Siggy.

      Pickford/Foster
      Amat, Brunt, Alonso, Jones, Hollabas
      Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Lallana, Can
      Origi, Ibra, Kane

      1. myboycharlie
        • 14 Years

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

        Looks good save

    15. myboycharlie
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A) siggy to Lallana or Phillips
      B) Llorente to Rondon or Tekkers

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

        Personally have both, Llorente is priority IMO. At least Siggy is on pens.

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

          True that and he came off early today

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

      Best siggy replacement?

      A. Lallana
      B. Phillips + 2m

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

        B

      2. myboycharlie
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        In same predicament above feel like lallana is needed at d mo

    17. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Carroll, Hazard, Siggy OUT
      Aguero, Lallana, Phillips IN for -4

      Good moves?

      Was all set for Cabaye instead of Lallana, but he could hurt my rank against poor Sunderland.

      Foster
      Alonso Brunt Pieters
      Sanchez Eriksen Lallana Phillips
      KOBRA

      Can Ward Amat

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        My arse

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

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

        Punchy

        1. I Member

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

            -cheapest of all CP milfs
            -on corners
            -Best stats of all CP milfs in last 4

      2. myboycharlie
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cabaye possibly on penos now

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

          Or maybe Townsend.

        2. I Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Playing further forward under Big Sam as well possibly? Looked that way against Watford.
