And finally, the day and Gameweek 19 draws to a close at the King Power Stadium where Manchester United’s seemingly futile chase of their City rivals continues with a clash against Leicester.

Fantasy managers will be seeking to round off the day’s events with further points, hoping for a clean sheet and certainly attacking returns from Mourinho’s charges.

Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba are undoubtedly the focus of our attention.

The former has hinted at a revival of late, scoring in successive Gameweeks and with three goals in his last four in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Pogba is back in the United starting XI tonight having served out a three-match suspension.

Some 153,000+ investors who made the early move back for the Frenchman ahead of Gameweek 19 will be expecting an early dividend. The midfielder has produced 7.0 points per match so far, supplying a hugely impressive three goals and seven assists from his eight matches.

But the Foxes have their own options to scout out this evening, notably Riyad Mahrez who stalled in the 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace but had returned three goals and an assist from his previous four outings.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Lukaku is horrific sometimes

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

      Gets goals though. 78 goals in 170 appearances and most of those were for non-elite teams (e.g WBA and Everton)

    Anyone else considering getting Eriksen/Alli for the DGW?

    1. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Never Alli. Awful player

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Terrible

    3. Midlands Saint73
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No but I am thinking of getting Son.

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This...maybe Eriksen

    4. mrwinner
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No. Would have to move on season-keeper midfielders like Salah and Sterling to do that which simply isn't an option.

  3. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku wasting Lingard chances

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      ridiculous how he didn't control that

  4. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Posted earlier in the week that Kane would achieve two firsts this week for the season.

    His first pen, and his first hatrick. And that I would captain him.

    Which of the three above do you think didn't happen?

    1. Emmicson
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      (K)ane

    2. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The latter of course.

  5. Pras (FPL)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Advice please:

    Haz, Kiko, Pope -> Coutinho, Christensen, DDG

    Yay or nay? -4 points.

    Full team:

    Pope**/Pereira
    Obgonha/Ota/Kenny/Kiko**/Mbemba
    Haz**/Sterling/Sane/Salah/RLC
    Kane/Morata/DCL

    Cheers!

    When is best time to use Free hit?

    ML rival used it this week & got 93!
    If he didnt he would've scored in the 50's

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably fa cup 6th round or league cup final.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Great result, some blanks will decimate their team.

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Blank gw or when your team has terrible fixtures like the example you listed

    4. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      is it likely there'll be 3 GWs with multiple Double GW fixtures?

  7. mrwinner
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane Triple Captain for the DGW coming up anyone?

    Only thing putting me off is 2 games in 3 days..

  8. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Damn was all set to captain Hazard in GW20. He was to be a set and forget captain so wouldn't have to think about it tomorrow or Xmas day. Now I can't decide who out of Kane/Sterling/Haz/Salah/Firmino to captain

    1. mrwinner
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Morata (C) surely

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Look at his options...

        1. mrwinner
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I'd seriously consider trying to find a way to get Morata in, even if it means the hokey cokey between Morata and back to Kane for the DGW

          1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Kane playing SOU next week too though

            1. Pieterke30
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Saints have been decebt away at big teams

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Morata hasn't had haul since Stoke joke defence

    2. Bleach †
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd narrow it down to Salah or Kane.

    3. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have it on Haz at the moment, fwiw.

    4. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane!

  9. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes needed for Boxing Day? 1FT to burn.

    DDG
    Ota Christensen Alonso
    Salah Zaha Sterling Richarlison
    Firmino Kane DCL

    Pope Maguire Kabasele Carroll

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lingard should have been on a goal and assist by now

  11. Tinmen

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Folks, completely random here. Apologies

    My wee sister has passed her driving test no she is looking to buy an automatic. However, someone told her that she can’t drive an automatic on her first year of driving. Is this true?

    I’ve tried googling this but can’t get a straight answer

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Eh? Never heard of that before.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah same here. Probably best to speak to her instructor or look on the DVLA website. Automatics are supposed to be easier than manual?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds silly if she isn't allowed.

    3. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not 100% but when one of my mates passed a few years back his first car was an automatic, maybe the law has changed since then but it was fine about 5 years ago

    4. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m pretty certain that isn’t true.

    5. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      In the UK? Incorrect, she can drive an automatic. The only restrictions are.

      If she passed in a manual car she can drive a manual or automatic.

      If she passed in a manual car she only drive an automatic.

      However I would recommend having a lesson with an automatic instructor just show she can learn the main differences.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        *If she passed in an automatic car she only drive an automatic.

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

      Untrue

    7. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Contact the test centre. I think that sounds a bit of backwards Chinese whisper. If you pass test in an automatic you can't get a full licenced in a manual until you pass the test but you're good for an automatic.

    8. Midlands Saint73
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      One of the interns at work passed recently and is straight into an automatic.

    9. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why looking to buy an automatic? Word of warning, driving in a manual after you pass your test is the best way to cement those skills, it will be harder to switch back if she ever wanted to later.

    10. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The only restriction I know is that if you pass your test in an automatic you can’t drive a manual (in the UK).

    Watford player owners whats the plan?? I have Kabasele and Richarlson and they need to go.....

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

      Gross and Zanka

    2. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have both. Considering Rich > Arnie myself but everybody seems to think that's a terrible idea.

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

        Not a bad move IMO

    3. YouReds
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking Rich > Pogba for two juicy home games

    4. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Im staying put with Rich at least for 3 more weeks. Good fixtures, getting shots in. And I like watching him play as he is so direct. Might go for Pogs/Arnie/Son in dgw if they dont find any form.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He's shite 2 shots on target in last 5 games now

  13. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    The transfers from Jay were awful, at the time they looked bad but now they are embarrassing! Since them he’s wasted a transfer on Silva and got an injured bony, must be gutted

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Need to risk it to win it.

      1. Bring the Cavalry
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Or not kneejerk and stay patient.

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Considering my rank this season & previous seasons im not in a position to judge

      1. Bring the Cavalry
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Of course he’s better than any of us he’s the best in the world but we can still discuss and give our opinions on the best in the worlds season.
        I wouldn’t be giving him advice he certainly doesn’t need it

  14. ooooo

  17. Pieterke30
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    LOL @ the 24k who sold Morata AFTER deadline

    Whats the point selling him before two decent home games if youve kept him this far?

    Probably casuals getting a boner for Aguero, Firmino or Kane

    1. Tim Canterbury
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Captain this week

      1. mrwinner
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        this. most nailed out of anyone after Chelsea's bore draw today and potential for massive returns. absolute no-brainer - best captain pick by a mile

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Stats and points since hat trick disagree. I wouldn't even buy him let alone C

    2. mrwinner
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Just brought him in. Brighton and Stoke at home after a rest? Yes please.

  18. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is it true that Jay bloke also sold Gross & Loftus-Cheek as part of his -12 and would be like top 10 without that move

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      who is this bloke and why is eveyone creaming themselves about him
      i feel like i was asleep at the news conference

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years

            • 8 Years

            Indeed

        2. The Bandit

          *stood 😉

      2. Tim Canterbury
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Best player in the world apparently. Appeared on the Scoutcast this week

      3. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Top live hall of famer. Dont think he ever finished a season worse than 15k.

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

      Judge him at the end of the season.

    3. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      not sure it makes that much difference to his rank. Wasn't going to captain Kane - one of the reasons he sold him. Only 11% of top 10k captained Kane anyway.
      Nobody can legislate for an injury (Bony) or the Silva situation.
      Anyone seriously thinking he won't be top 1k again this season?

  19. Alex_thekid
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    81- 4 with Jones let to play glad I didn't sell Kane and Morata to Firmino was a good move + I have Elliott and Kenny on the bench lol 15 points what's the average? 😉

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Think the morata sellers are up

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nice. On 86(-8) with Jones and Pogba to play. Annoyed to have benched Elliot too but who could've predicted it

  20. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    People still ignoring Kane after tonight? So happy my faith got repaid in full.

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I doubt it

    2. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      One GW before a blank?

      Yes.

      Plan has always been to bring him back for DGW22

      And before you laugh at me selling him, Im on 90-91 pts thanks to Aguero and Sterling

      1. mrwinner
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agree 100%. Why would anyone bring him in now. Waiting for DGW with view to potentially use triple captain chip.

      2. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Is that before or after you apply the -16? 🙂

        1. Pieterke30
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Hehe.

          Before, but Kane is irrelevant as I got rid before is haul at City.

          1. Pieterke30
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Edit - his, sorry

  21. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Not hearing many Sterling captain shouts surprisingly...

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I probably will

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      For Newcastle? Good chance of a rest and options like Salah and Kane better

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not much in it between him and Kane. I captained Sterling myself and don't regret it, points are points and the difference is only 4 if I'd captained Kane.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah my rival had Kane (c) but no Sterling so I'm v happy at the mo

      2. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Oh you meant for next week? Before the GW finished I was between Salah and Sterling, I might go Kane if there's a fear they'll be rested.

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

      My first double digit captain for weeks, I'm thrilled with 14*2

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years

        13*

    5. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I went for KDB. The problem with City is they're so fluid that anyone can haul.

    6. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not worried he may be rested? Sane got subbed at 60mins, so might mean him and B Silva start?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm, fair point

    7. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah or Cout against Swansea is very appealing too.

  22. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Made rookie mistake of putting Joe Allen first sub in the draft game, thankfully Rooney caught a cold!!

  23. Bruno Bruno!!

  24. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lingard or Pogba for Utd cover?

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba. Better player

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lingard better value and getting the minutes

  25. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku close

    close to imitating a donkey.

    1. The Bandit

      no

    2. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      Everton away is not Brighton and Stoke at home. You should have Sterling weeks ago and be able to have both

    Can I just say that all the comments laughing at the best FPL player there is because he took a calculated gamble that didn't work out are uncouth and uncalled for.

    He's given his time to discuss his opinion and we should be grateful. Just like all the articles and Scoutcast comments, it is your own decision whether to take the advice or not.

    There's really no need for some of the more unpleasant posts. It's not Twitter!

      Agree 100%

      I have heard of Jay before on here through the HoF articles but only started watching his vids/following on twitter a few weeks back. I like his non fence sitting approach.

      It's only a game, and I'm sure Jay will see the funny side.

      This is what group think is all about. Laugh at anyone who doesn't join them in their pen. He explained the logic behind his decision and you can't ask more than that. Anyone who goes onto the scoutcast with different ideas is welcome to come on and discuss it.

      That man deserves respect. He is the number 1 fpl player at the moment for a reason. Had this move worked, people would have gone bonkers praising him how ballsy and brilliant move it was .

    I can feel the ground trembling after that Kaku shot.

    Enough is enough. Foster needs to go, already lost 0.1 SV on him. Speroni or Elliott to partner Pickford?
