PlayON Picks – Gameweek 19 – 2x £100 FREEROLLS, £1,000 GUARANTEED POT

With a quick turnaround in fixtures, we return once again to take our regular pre-Gameweek look at the PlayON Player Price List. As always, we offer a couple of picks per position: one essential weekend target and a left-field alternative for your consideration.

The team-picking deadline is now the first kick-off each week at PlayON so you can continue to tinker with your starting XI right up to 12.00 on Sunday. PlayON has 2x £100 FREEROLL games and a £1,000 Guaranteed Pot game on offer in their weekly game in Gameweek 19 – you can enter now at www.playon.co

Goalkeeper – Allan McGregor
Hull have hardly been in the most resilient form in recent matches but a home encounter with travel-sick Leicester offers Steve Bruce cause for optimism. The Tigers have conceded just once in the last two in front of their own supporters and bearing in mind the visitors have scored just four goals away from home all season, McGregor, at a price of 6.9m, looks likely to bring in the points. Aston Villa’s home clash with Sunderland brings Brad Guzan onto our radars. Gus Poyet’s side may have impressed defensively in recent outings but have mustered just a single goal in their previous three road trips – at a price of 6.7m, the Villains’ stopper looks excellent value between the sticks.

Defender – Steven Caulker
He may have only scored once after 18 rounds of fixtures but it’s not for a lack of trying. The QPR centre- half has managed 19 attempts inside the box so far – more than any other defender – and his aerial threat in the box is sure to bother Crystal Palace at Loftus Road tomorrow. Setting you back just 6.7m, Caulker offers a decent shout for points at both ends of the pitch, with the Eagles’ record of one goal in their last four road trips proving pivotal to the sacking of Neil Warnock earlier today. A home encounter with struggling Burnley is sure to bring plenty of investment Manchester City’s way. Manuel Pellegrini’s side have conceded just twice in their last six matches and, after being rested for the Boxing Day win over West Brom, Pablo Zabaleta seems poised to return to the starting line-up. With a goal and assist in his last three appearances, the 8.8m-priced Argentine looks a strong source of points at both ends of the pitch.

Midfielder – Gaston Ramirez
After spending the first few months of the season on the periphery for Hull, the Uruguayan looks to have finally persuaded Steve Bruce he’s worthy of a regular start. Handed his second successive start away to Sunderland on Friday, Ramirez bagged a goal and assist in the 3-1 win and, at a price of 7.6m, now faces a plum home clash with Leicester. It’s impossible to overlook David Silva once again for Manchester City’s home clash with Burnley. The champions have now won seven league matches in succession and, having grabbed three goals in his last two appearances from the role in “the hole”, the Spaniard – who sets you back 12.7m – looks in devastating form ahead of Sunday’s encounter.

Forward – Christian Benteke
A home clash with Sunderland is far from straightforward but if Aston Villa are to prevail, there’s every chance their Belgian frontman will play a part. Setting you back 10.7m in this week’s PlayON Player Price List, Benteke has scored or assisted in each of the last two in front of his own fans and with spot-kick duties also in his favour, he’ll be looking to plunder the points again. Charlie Austin’s incredible home form makes the QPR top scorer our essential forward pick this time around. Having scored eight times in his last five at Loftus Road, Austin – who comes in at a bargain 9.0m – squares up to a Crystal Palace side with a single clean sheet in their last 12 league fixtures.

      Is Kolarov really ahead of Lampard in penalties? 🙂

    2. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Such a shame Sanchez missed that penalty. Otherwise he could have been their number one penalty taker (after Arteta of course).

    What to do with this lot? Gotta get Giroud and Bolasie out!

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      For Carroll/Ings and Puncheon - Punt
      For Kane and Silva - Normal stuff

    2. Delhidynamo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Please get your article out with a 6.0 mid plssss

      1. Delhidynamo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Benteke and a mid punt of your choice

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Giroud -> Benteke, Kane
      Baines -> Skrtel

  11. SpinyNorman [*_*]
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    RvP is just too expensive.

    Anyone else considering getting rid? I'm not convinced he'll get the points consistently..

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      See below. Considering tekkers as a replacement allowing some nice upgrades

    2. mr messi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm considering RVP out for Tekkers which frees up funds for Silva

  12. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Was going to do Rooney and Ameobi> Austin and Silva/Yaya but after that I may need to rethink?
    Have 2FT best option?
    A. Rooney and Ameobi > Austin and Silva
    B. Same as A except Costa out instead of Rooney
    C. Bony and Ameobi > Austin and Sterling
    D. Bony Ameobi and Siggy > Austin Silva and 5.8 mid(Sissoko sess?) for -4
    E. Bony and Siggy > Austin and Silva (keep Ameobi)

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm liking C

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It's prob best option but I feel I need silva?

    2. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A for me.

  13. Venom Snake
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best moves here until WC?

    A. Jagielka + Kelly > Mangala + Hutton
    B. RvP + Jagielka + Downing > Benteke + Zabaleta + Silva (-4)

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B if you don't mind taking a hit

      1. Venom Snake
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Think it could pay off this week

        1. Feed tha Sheep
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Def!!see my question above?

    2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

    3. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B imo

  14. PaulParker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Save and GTG? Or use FT to get rid of sakho?

    Foster
    Naylor - Zab - Hutton
    Sanchez - Yaya - Fab - has
    Costa - Austin (c) - Sakho

    Gilks - Siggy - Wisdom - O Shea

  15. PGR
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is it worth getting Hutton for the suspended Chester on a FT if I already have Guzan in goal?

    Need to replace Chester to have 3 playing defenders this week. Is Hutton the best option under 5 million?

  16. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    GW19 Rest/Rotation Predictions:

    1. RVP or Falcao?
    2. Sagna & Clichy
    3. Costa & Azpil?
    4. Kane?
    5. No one from Arsenal, I don't think.

    Who else?

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      RVP possibly, but we'll get line ups.
      Zabaleta back, Clichy out.
      Costa and Azpi will play. Tough away games to come.
      Kane's bang in form, has to play.
      Arsenal have no one to rotate in.

      Rotation over-hyped again, imo.

    1. Koflok
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      1. Falcao
      2. Yes to both
      3. Azpil more likely, hoping Costa rest.
      4. Nah
      5. Was on Sanchez but with Giroud out he's safe
      6. Hopefully not Sterling.

  17. JasonG123
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Captain:
    (A) Yoyo
    (B) Silva
    (C) Austin

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B or C i think (for example the penalty was yaya's only shot yday). both good options

      1. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yoyo continues to defy logic though.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Between silva and Austin.

      Austin had like 12 shots on goal when he scored his hatty and palace are a mess

      1. JasonG123
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Austin it is then.

  18. applebonkers
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    just hit me that kane is pretty much on pens given that soldado, adebayor and townsend are off the pitch more than they're on it thesedays

    1. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He may be my favourite fpl ever after Ramsey last season.

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        obscene value isn't he. spurs not doing clean sheets also means any goal seems to come with 2 or 3 bonus too

    2. Deep Sea Amphipod
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Excellent news 🙂

    3. Pointsonthebench
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      In my opinion Kane would be above Soldado anyway. Townsend would only take it if he won it himself (again, in my opinion) and Adebayor ain't around the team anytime soon. So yeah, safe to say he is.

      1. Deep Sea Amphipod
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yep I wouldn't let Soldado near a peno atm

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Kane has already missed 2 pens for spurs, so i wouldn't be too certain

  19. Jay_
      9 years, 4 months ago

      How nailed is Saylor ? Is he currently first choice ?

      1. JariL
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I believe he is first choice to play next to Colo atm, but I also think he'll be rested tomorrow.

      2. Van Dal
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Aye but injury prone. Stay away

    • LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years

      Siggy + RVP ➡ Silva + Benteke (-4)

      Yay or Nay ?

        chance of 60mins hopefully. pellegrini's words are a bit confusing, says he's 100% fine but also that his muscles needed protecting from the pitch yesterday

      2. SW6
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        "Pellegrini said: "Jovetic was on the bench today so maybe he will be fit for Sunday. We'll see [if he starts] tomorrow and have 48 hours to decide.

        "He was available to play today without any problem but it wasn't important for him to play and the pitch was difficult for a muscle injury.""
