<p>FPL Gameweek 19 is well underway, with Fulham and Chelsea having a double gameweek &#8211; here we briefly review the key FPL takeaways from Tuesday&#8217;s action (January 3), including the latest on <strong>Aleksandar Mitrovic (£7.1m)</strong>.</p>
<p>The Serbian striker was a popular captaincy option among FPL managers with double the games in mind.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also covered a summary of <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-gameweek-19-review-wednesday">Wednesday&#8217;s football</a> and the game between <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/gameweek-19-review-chelsea-vs-manchester-city">Manchester City and Chelsea</a>, as well as the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fa-cup-review-fpl">key learnings from the FA Cup for FPL managers</a>.</p>

<h2>FPL Gameweek 19 Review: Mitrovic suspended</h2>
<p>What a roller coaster of a game for Mitrovic backers.</p>
<p>A double gameweek persuaded nearly 30% of the top 250,000 FPL managers to captain the Fulham forward over runaway Golden Boot leader <strong>Erling Haaland (£12.2m)</strong>.</p>
<p>And after a brief injury scare following a challenge by <strong>Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m)</strong>, Mitrovic sent his backers into dreamland with a 17th minute goal.</p>
<p>There was always a risk with giving the fiery Serb the armband though &#8211; he was one yellow card short of a one-game ban and a double gameweek cut short.</p>
<p>Six yellow cards had been handed out in the second half by the 74th minute, with Mitrovic escaping trouble.</p>
<p>But come the 78th minute, the yellow card had been branded in Mitrovic&#8217;s direction and he will now miss Fulham&#8217;s second game of Gameweek 19.</p>
<p>The Cottagers will therefore face Chelsea on January 12 without their key man.</p>
<p>This could be good news for owners of <strong>Andreas Pereira (£4.6m)</strong>, who should be on penalties in Mitrovic&#8217;s absence. A haul against Chelsea would make up for his 58th minute benching, seeing the Brazilian pick up just one point instead of three from the 1-0 win over Leicester.</p>

<h2>Trippier tops bonus standings &#8211; and avoids a booking</h2>
<p>Like Mitrovic, <strong>Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) </strong>and <strong>Bukayo Saka (£8.1m) </strong>were just one yellow card away from a suspension &#8211; but both avoided going into the book.</p>
<p>The clash between first and third in the league ended in a 0-0 draw, meaning it was FPL managers with Newcastle and Arsenal defenders who benefited.</p>
<p>Trippier returned two bonus points alongside his clean sheet, taking his bonus tally to 25 for the season &#8211; more than anyone else in the game.</p>
<p>With 124 points overall, he trails only Haaland (142 points).</p>
<div id="attachment_51804" style="width: 907px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-51804" class="wp-image-51804 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Trippier-GW19.jpg" alt="" width="897" height="731" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Trippier-GW19.jpg 897w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Trippier-GW19-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Trippier-GW19-768x626.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Trippier-GW19-610x497.jpg 610w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px" /><p id="caption-attachment-51804" class="wp-caption-text">Kieran Trippier <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a></p></div>

<h2>A new £4.5m forward emerges?</h2>
<p>Three quickfire second-half goals from Roberto De Zerbi&#8217;s Brighton blew Everton away &#8211; and surely left manager Frank Lampard on the brink of the sack.</p>
<p>In another blow for the Toffees, <strong>Nathan Patterson (£4.0m) </strong>faces weeks on the sidelines after picking up a knee injury. The Scotsman is in 5.8% of FPL teams.</p>
<p>Injury analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/BenDinnery/status/1610996779633315840">Ben Dinnery</a>, who pens the Hub&#8217;s team news and predicted lineups article, reported on Thursday (January 5) that Patterson was expected to miss around six weeks, with damage to his medial collateral ligament.</p>
<p>The 4-1 scoreline saw goals from <strong>Kaoru Mitoma (£4.9m) , Solly March (£5.0m) </strong>and <strong>Pascal Gross (£5.6m) </strong>but it was a haul from <strong>Evan Ferguson (£4.5m) </strong>which caught the eye.</p>
<p>The 18 year old scored off the bench against Arsenal in Gameweek 18 and was rewarded with a starting spot at Goodison Park.</p>
<p>A goal, assist and three bonus points saw him return 11 FPL points. If he can keep his place in the Seagulls side, he would represent a budget third striker option.</p>
<p>Speaking post-match, De Zerbi said of his young striker: &#8220;He can become a great striker. He has big potential &#8211; physical and technical &#8211; and in our team, my work is to help the young players to progress.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the good form of March and Mitoma following the Premier League restart sees them offering value in midfield.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Shaw stars in latest Manchester United clean sheet</h2>
<p><strong>Luke Shaw (£5.0m) </strong>leads the way for FPL points so far in Gameweek 19, with a goal and clean sheet in Manchester United&#8217;s 3-0 victory over Bournemouth.</p>
<p><strong>Marcus Rashford (£7.0m) </strong>scored his third goal in three games, converting a cross from <strong>Bruno Fernandes (£9.8m) </strong>in the 86th minute.</p>
<p>It was the third shutout in a row for Erik ten Hag&#8217;s men, although tougher fixtures lie ahead for United with neighbours Manchester City up next.</p>
<p>A potential <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-blank-double-gameweek-guide">double gameweek</a> could be on the cards though, with more information expected following the conclusion of the FA Cup third round.</p>
