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.

    Kane, Firmino or Hazard next week for the armband?

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

      Kane

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      (Next GW). And Yes, I have no Salah. If I had I'd near be winning this blooming game. Kane got injured on the week I had intended getting him in!!! 🙁

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

      Hazard

    4. MrInbetween
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Morata.

    Hoping to get into the top 100k tonight for first time this season. Tough season and competition getting better, will do well not to post a career worst.

        Gotta try and keep ahead of you in HOF!! It's close.

          You should be trying to pass Mark.

            Difficult with his team value on steroids. Every player he buys automatically becomes a bandwagon!

              Team value is overrated. Just pick the right players 🙂

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

                I know but higher team value means more options to choose from

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

        Had an absolutely terrible start

    2. J T
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Think I might break 20k 😀

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

    A or B?

    A. Maguire+Sterling+RLC (bench RLC) -4
    B. Christensen+Richarlison+Shaqiri (rotation)

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

      A for Sterling and maybe better balanced but I’d be looking to moving Maguire

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

    Niasse to CL or Depoitre ?

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say DCL

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

        Cheers

        Ditch Daniels!

    Bottomed.

    With all the switching off formations this season, I don’t know why everyone doesn’t play 4-4-2. The template keeps shifting from Big up top, to big in midfield, to big in defence.

    It’ll shift again in a few GWKs probably back to a better strike force as a few options have awoken again this week.

    Keep the balance.

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

      Flexibility is key.

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

        Indeed.

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      This is the conclusion I have come to too

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

    All my available players started today.

    Can't help but think that Boxing Day will be different.

    Anyone else feeling apprehensive about the next GW?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Which particular players are you concerned about?

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

        Hazard, Cout, Jones, Christensen, Wilson. Quaner.

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

      I'm apprehensive enough not to make any transfers.

      Although alot depends on how I get Kane back in for DGW.

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

      Just make sure you have a playing bench

  8. Salah Fingers
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg? 1ft 0.3itb - Can't see any obvious transfers.

    Pope
    Otamendi - Christens - Jones
    Sterling - Hazard - Salah - Richarl
    Morata - (c) Kane - DCL

    Elliot - RLC - Ogbonna - Naughton

  9. GHB
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Am I over thinking things. First one right?

    Daniels > Alonso for free

    Daniels Richarlison Ward > Christensen Pogba and 4.5 def -8

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Daniels -> Alonso (if you intend to keep him very long term), otherwise just go Christensen and spend the rest elsewhere. 🙂

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Daniels > Christensen?

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

    Do we expect Pickford to price rise before the deadline? Can afford a price rise and will wait but planning to do Pope to Pickford after this coming gw.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      Delta of 16359 and currently at 55.8% on the way to a rise

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He won't rise before Tuesday

      2. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        There’s a chance imo... Monitor his delta tomorrow. If you really want to ditch Pope, go for it.

  11. SPFC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender by 4.8?

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

      I’d get WHU at that price the double

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

        I already have Adrian

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

          Kenny

          Fair enough! Cheers

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

    Tempted in doing Morata and Surman > Firmino and Lingard soon.

  13. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Phil Jones still worth getting anymore? Burnley and Soton at home are both great fixtures for clean sheets

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I did Tark to him half an hour ago there.

    2. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

  14. Essem
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Daniels ---> Robertson? Would obviously wait for news, but does anyone think Robertson could be a good pick?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If Daniels is out !?

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

        If Daniels is declared fit I am probably keeping.

    2. THFC4LIFE

      I’m getting him in for Kabasele

    1FT, 0.6 in bank.

    1 - Jones --> Christensen spread risk
    2 - Grob --> Lingard
    3 - Save

    1. TwiggsJameson

      Save

  16. Patch

    Smalling still not flagged as injured?!

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

      More worried about updating the game than a flag.

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

        Need some distraction to take the heat from Daniels...hopefully more folks interested in refining their man u defence 🙂

    2. Mooster©️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      he's injured

  17. vinniebolton
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If you had sold Kane/morata for Lukaku/Kun would you sell Kaku for Kane or just wait till after blank

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

      I'd wait until week 22.

      1. vinniebolton
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Probs right... I just hate the fact I av Kaku and Pogba in my team wot a mess Man U were

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Get Kane after the blank.
      LukaKun have 2 nice fixtures before Kane's double.

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

      Pointless now. Having someone when Kane blanks gives you an advantage of anyone benching Kane.

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

        *advantage over

  18. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What’s the deal with Daniels? Is he injured?

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

      Groin injury

  19. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on these moves?

    Mee to Zanka
    Richarlison to Lanzini

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

      Blank in GW21 for Lanzini.

  20. BrutalLogiC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    who did Goldson of Brighton replace today in starting line up, likelihood of continuing to start?

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

      Duffy and no.

  21. RESULT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    With players picking up injuries at the start of Xmas period I might hold onto transfers just in case double gw players get injured. Just have Kane at the moment

  22. LonesomePundit
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    At a loss what to do to sort this lot out ... part of me thinks I should do nothing as seem to always have better game weeks when ignoring transfers.

    Eliott, Pope
    Otamendi, Alonso, Maguire, Kabasele, Dunk
    Hazard, Salah, Coutinho, Silva, Sane
    Rooney, Austin, Murray
    0.6m in bank - sensible replacement for Austin?

    Ideally I want Morata but that will result in another hit. Got to work on getting Kane back (foolish move).

  23. Kanteisking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    One of worse ever weeks!! Drained

    Rooney and Richarlison to Firmino and a 5.3 mid? -4

    Worth it? If so what mid? Or just calm down?

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

      Hold fire maybe move out Richarlison though? Firmino could easily get benched v Swans.

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

        Richarlison for who though? I have 0.1itb and there isn’t much else around for that price

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

          Maybe bank the transfer - Leicester are pretty leaky. I've not watched today's game but he does carry their biggest goal threat still.

  24. Longlatini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is an 88 point lead in a ml too much to overcome now?

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

      Not necessarily

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

      No.

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

      No, it's halfway in the season and more points available in the 2nd half.

    4. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      no , if you nail dgw's you can catch him easily

    5. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Depends how good the leader is?

      Very possible to still overturn the deficit but you will need couple of shit hot differentials

    6. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No

    7. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Needed some positivity so thanks!

  25. M.A.G
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Naughton ---> Otamendi
    Good shout or too late for Otamendi's bandwagon ?

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

      Yes

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yes

  26. UshFPL
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mcarthur or Tom Carroll for bench fodder? Needs to be one of these 2 so I can afford Christensen next week.

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

      Carroll will at least play every game.

  27. @fpl_phenom
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT’s, 0.0ITB any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    DDG
    Ota Jones Christensen
    Haz Salah Sterling Richarl
    Kane Morata DCL
    ————————————
    Elliot Ogbon RLC Hune

    DDG > Adrian
    Rciahrlison > Pogba

    Exact money to do these moves..

    1. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Richarlison to Lingard and save?

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        also considered that... but if im going lingard why not go Pogba... Utd not keeping cleans sheets anymore either for whatever reason

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          2 million reasons

  28. Boom Xhaka-Laca

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pope Elliot
    Alonso Ogbonna Mariappa Moreno Duffy
    Hazard Salah KDB Sterling Son
    Firmino Rooney Depoitre
    1FT 0.1 ITB

    Was thinking Moreno > Kenny, then save, then Firmino Hazard Son > Kane RLC and Cout for the double GW

  29. SuperFrankieLampard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    1 - Alonso, Richarlison out for Christensen, Sterling for free?

    or

    2 - Aguero, Stephens out for Firmino, Sterling?

    Rest of team is:

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Alonso, Ota, Ogbonna, Mee, Long
    Salah, Hazard, RLC, Richarlison, Stephens
    Kane, Aguero, DCL

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

      Depends whether you think Kun will get a rest midweek.

      I wouldn’t get rid of Alonso though right now.

  30. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Don’t think FF has ever depressed me this much.

    Pre Wildcard team left alone as it was would have scored 105 points.

    My post Wildcard team got 73 points plus injuries to Austin & Smalling to deal with.

    Sigh 🙁

    1. BrutalLogiC

      that sucks!
