The starter pistol is fired for Gameweek 23 as Norwich City try to keep pace with Liverpool at Carrow Road. The Canaries are unbeaten in five match-ups on home turf, while the Reds tasted victory just twice across their previous eight fixtures.

Although Norwich head into this clash off the back of successive road defeats, they won their previous two home ties by an aggregate of 3-0. In fact, only three sides have conceded fewer home goals (10) than the Norfolk outfit this term, highlighting their defensive diligence at Carrow Road. That being said, only two teams have accrued fewer goals on familiar soil (12) than Alex Neil’s men, which will be music to the ears of Fantasy managers who’ve recruited from the visitors’ defence.

Despite ranking top for attempts (81) over the last four Gameweeks, the Merseysiders mustered just four goals and 17 shots on target, engendering the league’s worst shot accuracy (21%) and third-worst shot-conversion rate (4.9%). At the other end of the pitch, Jurgen Klopp’s charges surrendered the joint-fifth-most shots inside the box (33). With regards to their form in road matches, Liverpool have managed just a goal a game (11), despite placing fourth for attempts (148).

    Myhill's been so bad last 10 GWs he needed to get out of the team.

    Finally Walcott has done something for me, he made way for Firmino

          Liverpool go 9th on the table from that Milner backpass goal

          Liverpool do not deserve a win today, but neither do Norwich for throwing it away. Draw is the fairest outcome, both team have been thrash.

      10 years, 5 months ago

      Really? They won't play NOR every week and still looking rubbish going forward. IMO of course.

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        agree with that

  6. 1zverGGademN

    Benteke's anticipation is so poor :/ Wonder how he was so sharp at Villa..

    1. Mull
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Because he wasn't required to do anything technical.

    2. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Because he had 2 Achilles tendons to work witb

  9. NATSTER
    • 15 Years

    Firmino is 7.8m ... in case you can't check.

  10. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Firmino - Real deal or Norwich defending?

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Real deal. His stats were brilliant before kick off.

      Real deal. If liverpool get tex then he will only get better and be more consistent

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Well his first goal was ridiculously lucky, he knew nothing of his assist, while his second was a good goal

      1. Mull
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        So that's a no then.

      2. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        This ^ .. Fair assessment.

    4. Mull
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Norwich

    5. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Avl and Sunderland next 3. I got him because of form oop and fixtures.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah two plum games. Will see how Sanchez gets on tomorrow and assess from there.

      I thought I was being clever waiting another week. I'm not waiting anymore.

      1. Jay Jay Okocha
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        This. Wanted to use 2 FTs next week, should've dropped Ozil instead

    7. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      He's always been a good player. Consistent FPL scorer - who knows.

        Pug will know more than most. He knows him prior to league where as im judging him purely from what ive seen at pool

    8. faver
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      DGW potential, fixtures including Leicester, AV and Sunderland to valentine days. If you can avoid rise, wait for cup games

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah unlikely to get next week but may get in for villa/sun.

  14. Goodricke
    • 10 Years

    Suarez would have had 12 today!

  15. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    Firmino ownership high enough to do any damage?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      Nah

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie

    5. Sess!
      • 15 Years

      4% so no

  16. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Firmino and Giroud IN
    Mahrez and Kane OUT

    4 point hit

    Yes or no?

    1. Mr. Grv
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Wait till mahrez outscores firmino

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

      Wow. Are you watching Norwich defend?

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Mahrez on borrowed time in my team...last chance saloon against Stoke. Firmino's looking tempting.

      Might check out Austin before dropping Kane.

  17. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    who do you think gets more points going forward?

    A) Alli/Lukaku
    B) Firmino/Ighalo

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      A

    3. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Toss up

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        But would say A if I were being forced to opine at gunpoint.

  18. Eden Hazardous
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Liverpool will play Sunderland if a DGW 25 happens.... #Firmino

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years

  19. Chucky

    Firmino or Payet in?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Payet for consistency. Firminho if he gets DGW before the COC final

    2. il Brutto
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Payet next week Firmino the week after.

  21. Huddersfield
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Firmino VS Norwich
    2 Goals
    1 Assist
    3 Bonus Points at the moment
    = 18 Points
    Ownership 3.9%
    Started by 3.8%
    Captained by 0.5%

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Smh @ 0.1% - he's against Norwich ffs.

      1. Huddersfield
        • 11 Years

  22. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    What's Firmino ownership percentage. Don't want a red arrow

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      4% I think

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      6% in active overall players..

    3. NATSTER

      4.0 %

    4. Licky

  23. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    I reckon Norwich must really have South American players playing for Liverpool.

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Hate* even.

    Get in, firmino gamble paying off

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Was never a captain consideration tho...

  25. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Boring, boring Premier League. No 8th goal for over 5 minutes now!

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      So boring 😉

      1. fancy111

        Yes, yes I am

  26. Mull
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    If Arsenal drew with Norwich and Liverpool beat them then that means Liverpool are better than Arsenal.

    QED.

  27. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Walker dead?

    1. il Brutto
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      No. Trippier jus getting a run of games it seems.

  28. F_Ivanovic
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Don't know whether to be disappointed or happy.... first thought of the week was to get Firmino in but selling Mahrez or Arnie would leave me 1.1m short and I didn't want to downgrade a defender after already being on a super cheap defence. So I thought about Ozil, but at Home to Chelsea and once declared fit I didn't want to risk it. So in the end went with an upgrade of defence and a straight swap from Arnie to Henderson...

  29. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Went with Firmino (C)
