FPL tips for gameweek 19: Captain Matheus Cunha and back Wirtz and Ekitike again

John Victor, Nottingham Forest, keeper, £4m – Everton (h)

The Brazilian has now started three in a row and will be a bargain £4m option if he keeps his spot, although Matz Sels is now back from injury.

Sean Dyche’s Forest take on his old side Everton, who haven’t scored in three games and could be missing their three best attacking players – Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Nikola Milenkovic, Nottingham Forest, £5.1m – Everton (h)

Given Everton‘s scoring slump, double Forest defence is worth a punt.

There’s barely anything between Milenkovic and centre-back partner Murillo, with almost identical defensive contribution points (defcon) per 90 mins and £0.1m price difference.

The Serb takes more shots though and has a better scoring record, with five last season, so he gets the nod.

Patrick Dorgu, Manchester United, £4.1m – Wolves (h)

If you watched United’s win over Newcastle on Boxing Day, the player who stood out was Dorgu, playing out of position (OOP) on the right wing.

FPL managers love an OOP player and at £4.1m too, Dorgu could be a gift.

Don’t expect him to be a long-term asset, but United are down to the bare bones at the moment and if you have a spare transfer then why not take a punt.

Given Wolves‘ scoring record and the attacking positions Dorgu takes up, a clean sheet and attacking return haul is a distinct possibility.

Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace, £5.2m – Fulham (h)

Guehi has six attacking returns this season and Palace’s defence is always worth backing at home against teams such as Fulham, who have lost Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Lewis Hall, Newcastle, £5.2m – Burnley (a)

Hall has started six of Newcastle‘s past seven games and emerged as a key attacking outlet, just as he was last season before getting injured.

In that time he’s had eight shots, created five changes and two big chances.

He passed the eye test against Manchester United in their last game, taking up loads of threatening positions and he could have scored.

Burnley, on the other hand, have failed to find the net in four of their past five home games, so a clean sheet is a real possibility too.
