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.

    Think I will keep Richarlison instead of Pogba... he is still an attacking player while Pogba plays too deep?

    A) Pogba Kabasele
    B) Richarlison Christensen

    Currently on B?

      B

        Thanks mate

    2. Guy Demel

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Think either will probably be even over the long term - A possibly for slightly more nailed starts - think Rich is due a rest and Christensesn could be replaced by Cahill with ease

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Oh come on bro... everybody here was saying Christensen is nailed and Cahill rotates with Rudiger... dont do this to me

        1. Guy Demel
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          It's xmas and they both could do with a rest and haven't had one - its a lottery. Own Rich myself

    3. Prøfeßör …

      B easily. Richarlison to Lanzini maybe in two GWs time for the blank.

    Pogues is the Yaya Toure 13-14 causal equivalent of a Christmas song...

    Having owned KDB for one week I think I'm going to switch to Silva and free up money to upgrade Tarkowski to Alonso. Good move?

    DDG Speroni
    Salah Sterling KDB Son Lingard
    Kane DCL Firmino

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

      Yes, imo

    2. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      +1

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

      I like it. 2 positive moves especially with Alonso

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

      Yes. Alonso is the real deal in all that plan.

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

      Definitely.

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

      Sounds like a solid move

    7. MTPockets
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking the same on kdb (reversing transfer).

      • BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        KDB is a fire and forget option imo

        1. MTPockets
            8 years, 1 month ago

            So is Silva for 2m less.

        2. Granville

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I wanted Silva this week really but Pep gave us no clue he was going to start so went KDB

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

            Just get Alonso and forget the rest 🙂

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

              Can't get him without downgrading KDB

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

                KDB to Silva is as good as the opposite. I would do both

        3. Guy Demel
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          It's Sane's turn to streak

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

          Keep him for one more game at least ...
          KDB is type of player you won't predict just like Eriksen/DDG/Alonso
          Those who you feel they don't haul every week but at the end of the year find them having the most points.

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

            It nothing to do with KDB other than I can upgrade my defence and Silva has proven to be a points scorer too this season

            this is very true for this case particulary and many many others

      • AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Mee out for:

        a) Robertson
        b) Gomez
        c) Kenny

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

          C

          1. AzzaroMax99
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Don't know why but Pool defense looks more solid then Everton's :/

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

              At home it does look good. Away though? Everton more likely to be solid. Odds etc

        Thoughts on Man Utd and West Ham defences after today?
        esp considering Smalling and Baily injuries?

        1. Guy Demel
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          United will tighten after today, Mou will be fuming

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

            Hardly their fault though. Smalling wasn't mobile as he had injured his groin. They were wasteful at the front too.

        2. Ghost Gooner
          • 12 Years

          No Valencia as well

        Hello all. Still contemplating my moves this week. Would you rather prefer cheaper alternative for Daniels replacement? Could also just save a FT.

        Pope
        Daniels, Alonso, Ogbonna
        Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Richarlison
        Calvert-Lewin, Kane, Firmino

        subs: Elliott --- Mee, Stephens, Dunk --- 1.1 ITB, 1 FT

        A) Save FT
        B) Daniels -> Christensen

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

          B

          1. Jam0sh

            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks. That looks like a sensible move this week. I quite like the look of double Chelsea defence in my team for the coming weeks. However this wouldn't leave much money in the bank to do for example Richarlison -> Arnie move without doing a downgrade elsewhere

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

              I like the move but if it leaves you with no cash how about going Kenny?

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

                I could still be ready for DGW if I save FT in GW21 which of course means benching Kane then. With 2 FT's for DGW22 I could downgrade Hazard to Eriksen and also bring in another double gameweek player for example by doing Richarlison -> Arnie. If I now use a transfer that Christensen move looks so much better also in the long term than Kenny

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

                Christensen move actually leaves me with 0.3 ITB but of course not so much flexibility as now. I think I'll just get Christensen in now before price rise.

      • AD2110
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard & Son -> KDB & Sterling?

            Would prefer to get rid of wimmer. He's been truly awful since I got on my gw8 wildcard...

            But will get rid of Daniels if he appears not to be fit for boxing day...

        80 points, but ML rivals with 105 and another pushing 100 with Vardy/Maguire killing me.

        Haz to KDB, former has had some plum fixtures recently and not delivered. KDB seem the better option as he will be motivated to win the PFA.

        I don't see a drop off in his form anytime soon.

          Silva if anyone but I'm keeping Hazard for now.

          I wouldn't
          Hazard at home is a lot better, with Morata Chelsea are a lot better.

          Hazard at home against weaker teams:

          WAT 5 points
          NEW 15 points
          SOU 6 points

          Chelsea cannot afford to rest him, need to win badly
          I see lots of points incoming from him

        Bobby last year vs Swansea
        Goals 3

          If that means Salah 3 assists and 1 goal, that is acceptable 😀
