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.

    Can I get some some captaincy / vice captaincy advice for GW19?

    Umming and ahhing between Salah and Kane, but fear both of them are at some risk of resting. Currently have armband on Salah (longer rest from Friday evening versus Kane from Sunday evening and probably better matchup), but wondering if I might want to put VC on someone other than Kane (Martial?) in case both were to be rested in GW19 and I end up with no captain. Am I overthinking it?!

    Any ideas? Would like some united attack...

    1FT & 0.2ITB
    Fabianski / hamer
    Robbo / trippier / Digne / AWB / Bennet
    Hazard / sterling / sane / Anderson / hoijberg
    Kane / mitrovic / jiminez

    Also looking to offload mitrovic but may wait until after these next two home games.

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

      Same plan re: Mitro. Anderson > Martial looks good.

    Thoughts on KDB? Worth bringing in early before the wagon starts rolling?

    Seen Holebas is on 7 yellows, does that mean he gets a ban with one more?

    When/how do the yellows reset?

    Asking the audience 🙂

      It starts fresh in the new year I think. 5yc for a ban so he had it already probably? I could be wrong.
