After a 1-1 stalemate at the Emirates earlier this afternoon, we now focus our attentions on a trio of fixtures that get underway within the next hour.

There are a couple of kick-offs to keep us ticking over at 2.15pm.

Liverpool’s free-scoring attack are heavily fancied at home to Watford. Philippe Coutinho and Sadio Mane have both produced two sets of double-figures at Anfield already, whilst Roberto Firmino – with a goal or assist in three of the last four – has stepped up in consistency of late.

Walter Mazzarri’s men have chalked up three successive clean sheets prior to today’s visit to Merseyside, though Fantasy managers who chose to start the Hornets’ wing-back Jose Holebas may have to rely on his ability to serve up attacking returns this time around.

Southampton’s trip to Hull offers Charlie Austin to justify the steady stream of investment that’s led to a price rise in five successive Gameweeks.

Up against the league’s most porous defence, Austin will trigger further transfers in if he adds to a run of four goals in six. Club-record signing Sofiane Boufal, however, is named amongst the subs once again by Claude Puel.

Man United and Swansea don’t have their troubles to seek ahead of their 3pm head-to-head at the Liberty.

Worryingly for Jose Mourinho, his side have won just one of their last six road trips in all competitions – a 3-1 victory at Northampton Town in the EFL Cup back in September.

Nonetheless, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s loyal band of owners will be hoping he can banish his goal drought and notched against a defence that has conceded at least twice in all but one of their five home matches in the top-flight.

For the Swans, the form of Gylfi Sigurdsson offers hope of clinching a vital three points.

The Icelandic international has scored or assisted in four of the last seven Gameweeks, producing points against Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal as well as an assist away to Stoke on Monday.

    Lallana off. Good. Get those Baps down.

      Doesn't work like that.

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

        Yes, but in combination with Cout and Firm staying on, there is good chance they supersede him for the full 3. That was the point. Didn't feel like explaining all of that, as thought it was obvious what was implied.

    Liverpool's only clean sheets have coincided with Lovren being out.

    Goes without saying that I have him and my ML rival has a Matip Karius double up.

  3. Scholes Balls

    Lallana and Firmino you absolute beauties

  4. Henryyy

    Where is the carnage from Siggy? All the pre-match talk of how I'd like to own Siggy is biting me in the behind.

  6. Vatroslav

    Firmino on the left

    I need a lie down!
    So happy with my firm & lallana double up
    But holebas suspended & cant even do AOA as barry suspended!
    Ive already done a -4 to get hazard & allen for walcott & lallana

  10. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Suddenly Firmino to Hazard as part of a hit seems crazy, fickle fpl 😆

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I still would have done it but I did Sterling to Gun for the hit not Firm to Haz 🙂

    2. Bleach †
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Alexis → Özil to get some funds elsewhere?

      1. Marquis-Cha-Cha
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thinking the same.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lallana locked in on 50 BPS... 20 mins for Firmino & Coutinho to displace him...

    4. Puzzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Anyone else with LFC triple up with Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana? Sorry, had to. 😉

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Was rolling with Firm and Lallana, but sold the latter for Hazard.

    5. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Still on a red arrow despite owning Firmino, Coutinho & Austin 😯

    6. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      So I have Lovren Amat Smith Holebas Pieters in defence for next week. Can't even play 3 of them....

          Is Rooney playing well?

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

          It's interesting to see if Liverpool can score without Lallana and Mane.

        11. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Unless I drop Sanchez for him. No way to force Hazard into my side right now.

          1. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I genuinely think Sanchez days are numbered. Far too much money for streaky returns, plus Giroud back so maybe out of position.

        12. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          My ML rival has...

          Wait for it...

          Coutinho Mane Hazard(c) Firmino
          Austin Costa Lukaku

          JESUS!!!

          100pt week and more

        14. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Capoue - so close!

        15. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Capoue almost again!

        16. Jay_
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Almost Deeney assist, Capoue goal

          • Arctic monkeys
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Capoue so close

          • Viper
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Capoue with a big missed chance

          • tm245
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Karius saving Capoue, once again.
