Welcome back to another article highlighting Fantasy Premier League Clean Sheet Tips For Gameweek 19. NaturalFootyFan returns to pick out the clubs with the best clean sheet potential.
With only a couple of days rest, for the majority of teams, Gameweek 19 has the potential for some banana skin results. This makes it a tough task to predict results, but nevertheless, we will do our utmost to provide some helpful pointers.
In an interesting selection of fixtures, which sees Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea playing away from home, clean sheets may have to be located away from the norm. Here are the bookies odds and our FPL, FantasyBet and Mondogoal recommendations. Enjoy.
this season to keep a clean sheet versus Leicester in Gameweek 18, have things to prove and will not go easy. Instead, they will aim to complete Sunderland's Christmas time misery by making it 5 losses out of 5. Alberto Moreno (8.7m) is our standout pick in our selection; he frequently takes corner kicks and has shown a goal-scoring touch in the past.
Medium Risk � Southampton Stack vs. West Ham (Total Expense: 24.5m)
Taking the value of this stack into consideration, it is perhaps the most tempting. The last time their hosts, West Ham, won their final league game of a calendar year was in December 2008 and Southampton will attempt to pin them back from the off, just like they did in their 4-nil win over Arsenal. 
As we mentioned earlier Ryan Bertrand and Virgil Van Dijk, both priced at 6.9m on Mondogoal, offer great potential both defensively and offensively. There's nothing a backline fears more than Game of Thrones Dothraki lookalike, Virgil Van Dijk, making his way into the box for a corner; which is no offense to the ex-Celtic player, just a credit to his popularity in Fantasy Football. Another great differential in the Southampton defence is Cuco Martina (5.3m). If he holds his position in the team, which we're sure he will after his Essien-esque bending goal vs. Arsenal, Martina could well be a diamond in the ruff.
High Risk � Crystal Palace Stack vs. Swansea (Total Expense: 30.5m)
If you are searching for a stack, which is out of the ordinary but has the potential to undermine your competition, then this could be it. Crystal Palace's surge into the top 5 has been largely masked by Leicester City's success and Chelsea's downfall; nevertheless, Alan Pardew has constructed quite a force. Defensively solid and frightening on the break, thanks to the pace of Bolasie and Zaha on the 
flanks, Crystal Palace are masters of nicking the 3 points. They are unbeaten in their last 5 fixtures and have conceded an impressively low average of 0.6 goals per game over this period. Swansea have suffered defeat in their last three Premier League away trips and ‘The Eagles' will be desperate to use this to their advantage.

[table id=39 /]FPL Tips � Clean Sheet Prospective
Southampton
[Fixtures: West Ham (a), Norwich (a), Watford (H), West Brom (H)] Off the back of their resounding 4-nil victory over title favourites Arsenal, Southampton's backline will be as hard to break down as any. Combining this with their attractive upcoming fixtures and they look a safe bet for clean sheets in the near future. Personnel wise there is a lot of scoring potential in their squad, with the likes of Virgil Van Dijk (5.5m) and Jose Fonte (5.3m) causing havoc in opposition boxes with their aerial capabilities. This centre-back pairing has contributed to 4 of Southampton's goals this season, with 2 apiece. Ronald Koeman is also a fan of attacking fullbacks; Ryan Bertrand (5.3m) has notched 3 assists since returning from injury and seemed on corner-taking duty at times on Saturday. However, the name that should be on every FPL manager's radar is Cuco Martina (4.1m). Given the nod to start his first Premier League match vs. Arsenal last night, the Curacao International, fired in a goal of the season contender to open the scoring. If Martina is successful in retaining the right-back spot over Cedric, he may become one of the most popular defenders in the game at this price; so snap him up now, before his price rises and the bandwagon begins.Stoke City
[Fixtures: Everton (a), West Brom (a), Norwich (H), Arsenal (H)] At the minute ‘The Potters' look capable of shutting out any side that is put in front of them. The Potters have kept a clean sheet in five of their last six Premier League games away from home - this is more than they'd kept in their previous 33 PL away games. To add to their appeal for Gameweek 19 is the fact that they won both of their Premier League meetings with Everton in 2014-15 without conceding a single goal (2-0 at home, 1-0 away). Jack Butland (5.1m) has been the top performing goalkeeper in the Premier League this season and his 20% ownership reflects this, however, differentials can still be found in Stoke's backline. Glen Johnson (5.1m) is their highest scoring defender with 74 points and 3 assists to his name but only 4.7% of managers own him. The Englishman boasts 8 clean sheets in his last 10 matches and is ranked 5th in the defenders list for ‘total score' in the 2015/16 FPL season. Stoke also lead our ‘Form Chart', so more clean sheets look to be on order.Mondogoal & FantasyBet Tips � Clean Sheet Stacks
*Stacking Definition: To pair multiple players from the same team in an effort to increase upside.
(For example, if Liverpool secure a clean sheet in Gameweek 19 and you own 3 of their defenders, instead of 1 � your upside is tripled.)
Low Risk � Liverpool Stack vs. Sunderland (Total Expense: 30.3m)
Take a look at the bookies odd and it's clear to see, even when playing away from home, that Liverpool are big favourites. Sunderland, who are perhaps the weakest club in the league at the minute, have lost all 4 of their matches in December. Jurgen Klopp's men, who became the only side
