Gameweek 19 Fixtures

Here is a list of fixtures playing in Gameweek 19. This can be a great start when looking to make your decisions.

Who are the best teams to buy from this week?

Newcastle v Nottingham Forest – Newcastle are a very good team and come up against a poor and out of form Nottingham Forest next up. Because of that managers should look to buy both their defensive and attacking players this week.

Burnley v Liverpool – Liverpool are producing some of the best attacking and defensive stats in the league so far. With that in mind we should be looking to invest in their defenders and attackers this week, especially when considering they also play poor newly promoted side Burnley.

Chelsea v Crystal Palace – Chelsea come up against a Crystal Palace side who have failed to win any of their last seven matches. It could be wise buying into the Chelsea and defence and frontline this week.

Everton v Manchester City – After a break away from Premier League football Manchester City will be fully motivated against Everton. Manchester City have struggled all season defensively so buying their attackers could be a better move.

Brighton v Tottenham – No side in the league have stopped Tottenham from scoring this season and Brighton are yet to keep a single clean sheet. Investing in their players who have attacking threat could be hugely rewarding.

Arsenal v West Ham – Arsenal sit top of the league after an excellent start to the season. They have also held some of the best defensive and attacking stats. Buying into both the defence and attack could be beneficial, even more so because they play at home.

The best captain for Gameweek 19

The best captain for Gameweek 19 is Mohamed Salah. This is because Liverpool have been sustaining some of the best attacking stats in the league and they face the second worst defence in the division next up, Burnley. Salah takes penalties and he is also the most consistent asset in the game this season as he sits first for overall points.

Should I use a chip this week?

No. There are much better times to use your chips. You will likely need your chips in the big blank and double Gameweeks ahead. A blank Gameweek is when some teams do not have a fixture. A double Gameweek is where a team has two fixtures in that particular week meaning players have double the potential for points.
