You can now vote in the Gameweek 19 Captain Poll, either below or in the sidebar of our website.

Liverpool and Tottenham are expected to be the go-to teams with them hosting Newcastle and Bournemouth respectively.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have been particularly ruthless at Anfield this season and Newcastle may struggle to cope with the in-form Mohamed Salah (£13.2m).

Fantasy managers might also be tempted by the Egyptian’s team-mates Roberto Firmino (£9.2m), Sadio Mané (£9.6m) or Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.1m).

Also, Newcastle’s troubles in front of goal may also convince Fantasy managers to consider Alisson (£5.8m) or Andrew Robertson (£6.6m) for the armband.

The will be newfound support of Spurs assets after their six-goal performance at Everton in Gameweek 18.

Harry Kane (£12.5m) will obviously be the Spurs front-runner after scoring 15 points from two goals and an assist at Goodison Park.

However, there was also a handsome 21-point haul for Son Heung-min (£8.5m) as well as goals for Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m).

Eden Hazard (£11.0m) is in action against Watford, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s (£11.5m) Arsenal travel to Brighton while Manchester City will hope to respond to their shock defeat to Crystal Palace at Leicester City.

    Stumped...

    Salah / Sterling / Richar / Snod / Torreira
    Auba / Wilson / Jimenez

    Thinking Sterling->Sane and Auba->Kane.

    Agreed? No Hazard worries me though...

    Thanks

    1. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      how many free trades and how much in the bank?

      1. Marc
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 20 hours ago

        0.1 ITB before transfers. 1FT

        1. AuFeld
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 20 hours ago

          Sterling ~> Sane is a bit sideways and Auba has the form and fixtures. Not worth it imo

    2. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      I would rather have a spurs mid than hazard. They are in form and scoring goals for fun, Chelsea are neither

  2. AuFeld
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Which is the better move with two FT 0itb?

    1. Mitro + Laporte ~> Rashford + Doherty

    OR

    2. Laporte + Bennett ~> Digne + Jonny

    OR

    3. OTHER, suggestions are welcomed.

    --------------------------------------------
    Fab - Henny
    Alonso - Laporte - TAA - AWB - Bennett
    Sterling - Hazard - Sane - Richarilson - Snodgrass
    Auba - Mitro - Jim

    1. ewangri
      • 8 Years

      1

  3. ewangri
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Playing around on Wildcard. How does the below look:

    Allison Steele

    Kolasinac Digne Doherty AWB Luiz

    Salah Sterling hazard Brooks Billing

    Auba Jimenez Ings

    Any changes? would leave 0.7m itb

  4. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Who will score more over the next few GWs

    A. Martial
    B. Jimenez

    1. Tev
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      A

    2. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Martial as long as Sanchez stays injured.

    3. ewangri
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      A

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      A

    5. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      A

    6. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Just brought in both so hopefully both will do well but I’d say A

  5. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    What are your thoughts on

    Fraser > Lingard

    Wilson > Ings

    1. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Doesn't wow me.

    2. ewangri
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      I like it, Ings seems a good fit for the new manager

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Ings fixtures are turning

      1. AuFeld
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 20 hours ago

        This is true. I can see a lot of people getting SOU players as cheap enablers with their good upcoming fixtures.

    4. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Looks good.

    5. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Good transfers,

  6. Samwise
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    GK: Fabianski
    Def: Bennett, Robertson, Trippier
    Mid: Eriksen, Hazard, Sterling, Felipe Anderson, Richarlison
    Forwards: Agüero, Rashford
    subs: Hamer, Wan-Bissaka, Kamara, Cédric

    Bench in the right order?

    1. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      I'd start AWB over Bennett

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Good see something looking different.

  7. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Play one:
    (A) Snoddy (sou)
    (B) Wan-Bissaka (CAR)

    1. Samwise
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      b

    2. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Snodgrass.

    3. SUPER 11
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      AWB

    4. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      A

    5. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      AWB

      I'm playing both though

  8. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Kane or Salah captain is the question

    1. mattyrobinson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Flip a coin

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Kane for me, more likely to play and he has the form

    3. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      If you have Kane then him imo, non-owner.

    4. The real slim shady
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Salah is classified as midfielder. Might be just that wich makes him being a better option.

    5. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Your username is the answer.

    6. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Kane. Newcastle has conceded the fewest amount of chances down the middle over the last four game weeks.

      1. seanie3
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 20 hours ago

        So what? They haven’t faced Salah Mane and Firmino who will tear them a new one

        1. AuFeld
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 19 hours ago

          Name dropping is a poor argument.

          1. seanie3
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 12 hours ago

            Not really, what else
            Should I say then?
            Ok they haven’t faced Liverpool’s attacking prowess,
            Is that better for you... geez

    7. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Probably Kane

      but who knows

  9. mattyrobinson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    What to do with Alli?

    0 FT, 1.3m ITB

    1. SUPER 11
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Do Alli to Pogba

      1. mattyrobinson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 20 hours ago

        Have Lingard and Rashford

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Alli to Son?

      1. mattyrobinson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 20 hours ago

        Tempted. Only worth it if Son plays and Alli doesn't.

        Ericksen another option...

        1. Christina.
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 20 hours ago

          get rid of Alli

  10. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    So Lacazete out for a hit and Son in will end in tears this gw ?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Why?

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 20 hours ago

        Scouts reckon he's in line for a start against Brighton. I know they've been wrong before, but. . .

  11. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    I've two frees. If I were to free hit would I lose one ?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Yes.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      yes and the problems wont be solved

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      bad week to free hit - rotation city,

  12. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Laporte or Alonso out for TAA or Lovren?

    Fed up with these 2, been holding for a few weeks now. I'm swaying toward Alonso for Lovren. Thoughts?

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      I would keep alonso over Laporte

    2. mattyrobinson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Would rather VVD. Less rotation.

    3. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Give Laporte the boot for TAA

    4. Sweetpea
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Alonso is a keeper over xmas.

      Underlying stats suggest a 12 pointer is coming.

      Lose Laporte.

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 20 hours ago

        Hit the post two weeks running

        Keeping myself

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 20 hours ago

          5 times this season so I read on here.

      2. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 20 hours ago

        No such thing as a season keeper with so many premium and budget options performing.

        1. JasonG123
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 20 hours ago

          Having said that, not the ideal time to be bringing in Liverpool defenders imo. Wait three weeks.

    5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Thanks everyone

  13. Bennison
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Kolasinac - Laporte - Alonso - (Doherty) - (AWB)
    Hazard - KDB - Richarlison - Son - Lingard

    Any pressing issues?

    1. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Is this a WC team

  14. Goonermeister
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    A) Eriksen to Son/Pogba
    B) Auba to Kane (c)

    1. Ohh1454

  15. Eytexi
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Sané, Sterling & Son: who we backing to start this week?

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      I sold Sterling so probably Sterling...

    2. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Sane and Son

  16. arndff_
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Best GK option:
    A) Alisson
    B) Ederson
    C) DDG
    D) Lloris

    1. Sweetpea
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      I reckon Hart gets a few clean sheets. Fixtures look great.

      And he is top for saves.

    2. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Alisson, however I prefer two rotating $4.5m GK's

    3. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      A, most clean sheets

  17. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Mkhi out for a while makes Ramsey nailed on?

    1. AuFeld

  18. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  19. n-doggg
    • 13 Years

    Got 2FTs, not sure where to go with it. Any suggestions?

    Rui, hamer
    Alonso, taa, Digne, awb, bennet
    Sterling, Sane, richarlison, Fraser, Camarasa
    Kane, Aubameyang, Jiménez

    Camarasa and Jimenez to martial and success?

      Salah

    2. The Darkest Knight

  21. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    1. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Next

      Thinking similar myself. City lads getting another go

  22. Razor425
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    How does the below look for this week

    Patricio
    AWB, Kola, TAA, Alonso, Digne
    Son, Sane, Sterling, Fanderson
    Auba (c)

    Fab, Jimenez, Mitro, Fraser

    Have 2ft but think I'll roll them, other option is Sterling and Mitro > Hazard and Rashford.
    Thoughts?

  23. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Thoughts on Bellerin+Wilson to Digne+Rashford for free?

    1. dunas_dog

      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Yes

  24. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Surely next season Salah will be classed as a forward?

    1. RyanC
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      We all said that last season.

      I’d play Doherty over Digne!

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 20 hours ago

        Interesting. I think it’s very close but still considering it yes. Thanks

  29. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Hamer -> Button
    Alonso -> Bednarek
    Sterling -> Salah
    Anderson -> Son
    Fraser -> Martial
    Camarasa -> Kamara
    Auba -> Hazard
    Chicharito -> Jimenez

    1. Hansel

      Squad swaps I’m making on WC. Wrote for my own info, didn’t mean to post, sorry

  30. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 20 hours ago

    Who would you captain out if this lot this week? Currently on Kane but not convinced.

    Hart Hamer

    Holebas, Doherty, Wan B, Schindler, Bennett

    Sterling, Salah, Hazard, Billing, Masuaka

    Auba, Kane, Kamara

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      I'd go Kane

    2. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Has to be Salah or Kane

    3. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 20 hours ago

      Kane or Auba. Over the last four, BHA have conceded 13 chances down the middle and BOU have conceded 10 chances down the middle.

      1. HollywoodXI
