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.

    Fab
    Alonso Digne Lovren
    Haz Sane FelipeA Shaq Rich
    Kane Rashford
    (Button, Jimenez, AWB, Doherty)

    Benching headache and doubt any of my starters get rested... correct or nah? And Kane captain? Worried he may not start but come on for last 30

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Feeling confident about Shaqiri? I'd play Jimenez, and Doherty or AWB over Digne

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Very confident about Shaq :).

      • THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Play Doherty over Digne imo

      Ryan/Button
      Alonso Robertson Doherty Digne AWB
      Sterling Anderson Richarlison Brooks Hojberg
      Kane Aubameyang Jiminez

      2 FT/1.8M ITB

      A) Ryan to Fab, roll FT
      B) Brooks and Sterling to Pogba and Sane
      C) Aubameyang and Brooks to Rashford and Hazard
      D) Anderson to Pogba

      Thought appreciated, thanks!

      1. Drieet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I like B. Wouldn't do C as I don't now how nailed Rashford is when Lukaku comes back.

        A might be the best move though, as you will be without a playing GK if Steele gets to play instead of Button.

        1. CHARLIE HULL
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers, leaning towards A or B. Feel like I need the United cover now and like Sane long term at the price. Worries are Sane minutes this week and also means benching Digne and AWB this week. Need to sort Ryan sooner or later.

    3. Jared Dunn
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      2FT's and 0.6ITB

      Fabianski / Hamer
      Lovren Digne Doherty / AWB Holebas
      Sterling Son Richarlison F.Anderson / Gunnarsson
      Kane Aubameyang Jimenez

      Not sure what to do, Hamer -> Button/Steele or F.Anderdon -> Martial are possibilities.

      Any other ideas?

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Would sell Richarlison for Martial over Anderson

        1. Jared Dunn
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Feel like I might just wait on united another week

      2. Drieet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'd keep Richarlison for now given his fixtures. Like the Hamer -> Button/Steele move, gives you an extra option if you guess right (I went Button on WC ;-))

      3. R.C
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I'm in the same boat as you but who plays instead of Ryan?

        Steele or Button?

        1. Jared Dunn
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Steele is sub atm but it was Button at start of the season. Guessing game it seems.

      Both Lingard & Martial up to around 30% on FPL Stats already after the rise last night ... incredible

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Salah is back to sensational form, 39 points over the last 4 game weeks. I had no intentions of bringing in Lingard, until looking and barely believing my eyes that over the same interval Lingard is only four points behind Salah with 35 points over the last 4 game weeks.

      On a WC, looking good or any suggestions to change?

      Hart - Button
      TAA - Doherty - Digne - AWB - Bednarek
      Salah - Hazard - Sane - Martial - Snodgrass
      Kane - Jimenez - Ings

      1. Sweetboi
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Nice team. Constant benching headache however, could downgrade Snog/Ings and upgrade defence.

          this imo

            • 11 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Thank you, was considering to do Snodgrass -> Masuaku and upgrade Hart -> Kepa/Lloris

      2. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        def a little weak but otherwise good...

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Downgrade Snoddy & upgrade keeper to Alison.
        To help yourself from benching headaches

      4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        i would do snoddy to fodder and awb bednarek to kiko/holebas + jonny to rotate ur forwards with the defenders

        Why did you bring Pogba and Martial when you already have decent players to play?

        1. klipp klopp
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I already had martial

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Why Pogba then?

            I would bench Jimenez

            1. klipp klopp
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Ok thanks
              I probably shouldn’t of bought him so soon

                • 10 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Pogba is a decent pick ans my preferred Man Utd mid but when you have players like Jimenez/Anderson/Richarlison to bench, then it gets tricky.

                Hopefully one of the player gets rested

        Probably Snodgrass and wb

      Wilson out Zaha (CAR) in before WC next week

      Maybe we were looking at the MAnU - Cardiff game from a wrong angle.

    16. TLF

      Who would you bench this week ?
      I'm currently benching Wilson but feels risky as Spurs are still leaking goals.

      A. AWB
      B. Wilson

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 3 months ago

          A, but I (almost) always bench the defender

        • kinghenry14
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          that's a tough one but i think i'd still play wilson

        • klipp klopp

          Wilson

        • Holmes

      2. Dosh
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        On Wildcard..

        Hazard or Sane?

        F.Anderson or Rich or Martial?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Hazard
          Martial

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Hazard
          Martial but I'd try to get richa too

        3. Chucky

          Rich

        6. Jimmy Boy
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Hazard and Richarlison imo

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Bench points are going to be huge 😀

        • 6 Years

        2FTs and no pressing issues.

        Should I do Wilson to Jimenez for long term?

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          No interest in Rashford? Has a starting role and great fixtures?

          Or Ings?

          1. R.C
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Rashford isn't nailed imo

            I feel Jimenez > Ings

            Why Ings?

            1. Yank Revolution
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              New manager bounce, on Pens, starting spot nailed.

        Sterling, Sané, F Anderson, Martial Hojbjerg
        Aubameyang, Wilson Jiminez

        2.4 itb and 2 FT
        What to do? Any idea would be welcomed although I am thinking about the following

        Wilson to Rashford and Sane to Hazard

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Sterling to Salah, Wilson to Rash?

          1. OverTinker
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            thats good but i was thinking Hazard has some good fixtures in the upcoming matches

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Wilson > ings
          Fando > hazard not possible ??

      6. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Repost.

        Kenedy to Son for a -4 sound reasonable? Already did Sterling > Martial.

        Fab, Hamer
        Laporte, TAA, Robbo, AWB, Digne
        Fraser, Rich, Sane, Martial, Kenedy
        Kane, Auba, Success

      7. mitro
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        A) Auba + FAnderson > Salah + Ings (-4)
        B) Save

        5 years, 3 months ago

        A: Sane (lei,sot,LIV) >> Pogba + 1.6m Itb
        on form but starting to tail off? Will likely play 2/3 I reckon, more assist potential then goal threat. Possibly rested for saints game? City look of colour having won only one of their last 4 games! But does that mean they will revert back to mean

        B: Anderson (Sot,bur,BRI) >> Martial
        Talisman for them, nailed on I think, good goal and assisters potential. Wil he play all games? Can west ham afford to rest him. Who is his competitor? West ham have decent fixtures but might be tailing off too after wining 4 on the bounce

        Wilson out Zaha (CAR) in before WC next week

        Maybe we were looking at the MAnU - Cardiff game from a wrong angle. No?
