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.

      8 years, 11 months ago

      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
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Why dumping ibra?

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Hole to Ake/ or Capoue to Phillips

  2. ZakAFC_

  4. Paul
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

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

      A chance but less than 30% IMO

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

        thought so... need Sanchez to go crazy

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

    Any brunt captainers vs hull?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months 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
        8 years, 11 months ago

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

    3. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

        Lallana

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

        Lallana then

    4. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

        Yes

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

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

    5. BooYaKasha
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Because man united have other centre backs

        I don't know

      2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

        essential

      2. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Means very little for his next game

    7. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      hazard & origi to lallana & costa for -4

      a) yay

      thanks

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        a

      2. James101
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yes

    8. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months 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
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Thinking the same- Rondon or keep Origi- tough choice

    9. James101
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months 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
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I have Phillips already

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

      8 years, 11 months ago

      Anu suggestions?

      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
        8 years, 11 months ago

        B looks good

    12. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months 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
        8 years, 11 months 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
          8 years, 11 months 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
      8 years, 11 months 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
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Siggy to Phillips

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

        Looks good save

    15. myboycharlie
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

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

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

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

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

          True that and he came off early today

    16. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Best siggy replacement?

      A. Lallana
      B. Phillips + 2m

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

        B

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

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

    17. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months 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

          1. Christina.
            • 15 Years

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

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

        Cabaye possibly on penos now

        1. Monkey Hanger
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Or maybe Townsend.

        2. I Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

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