After yesterday’s dramatic events, Sunday treats us to two more top-flight fixtures with Bournemouth hosting Liverpool in the early kick-off.

Still reeling from the loss of Philippe Coutinho to an ankle injury, Jurgen Klopp’s side will be looking to Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane to make the difference.

Fully recovered from a minor calf complaint, Firmino has netted in two of his last three road trips. Mane, though, needs to up his output on the road, having failed to score outside of Anfield since the season opener at Arsenal.

Divock Origi has the chance to flourish as a short-term option up top – having netted in the last two across all competitions, the Belgian leads the line at the Vitality this afternoon.

Bournemouth will be no pushovers, though – over their last five home matches, Eddie Howe’s men have chalked up a trio of clean sheets and conceded just three times.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Mane is some player.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think he's been pretty average this season

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Sometimes hes great, sometimes looks useless. Not consistent enough

          1. Lawrø
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I'd describe Firmino the same way yet on here he's worshiped as one of the best midfielders in the league

            1. Somalion
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              I'd describe Firm as exactly the same way. Think both are inconsistent.

          2. Arteta
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            No one is consistent this season expect Costa.

        His off the ball movement is the only thing he is world class at right now.

    2. Aston-villain

      He is...

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Extremely inconsistent

      If it ain't broke don't try to fix it.

        • 10 Years

        Thanks for the advice lads...still sanchez irresistible atm. Might just take the -8 and keep mane.

    2. Toure The Route

      Ouch but Austin has horrible away form man.
      Next time probably you should remember that even when he has a plum away game, oh and also he doesn't do braces.

        Your comment that is

        1. Alnair
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'm watching the game now, Firmino has had bad control time after time and one shot on goal, Wijnaldum the same other than the shot.

          Best players have been Origi and Hendo by far.

      Comments like these make me want to delete my ffs account.

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        In terms of FPL, are they doing anything? 🙂

      2. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Are you even watching the game? Most of his involvement has been when he hasn't had the ball...

    3. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He is just stating what he is seeing in the match.
      Why are people over reacting for that ?

  9. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    This is going to be one of those games with loads of goals and loads of Firmino involvement.

  10. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Firmino is great at creating space for other players

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Well he needs to stop doing that and score me some points.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That's his role.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          His primary role is to get me FPL points.

    2. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Creating space points?

    Can hurt

  14. Jay_
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Feel too light with only Firmino. Not a knee jerk. Pool just score too many goals

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It's too hard to pick the right one.

    • NATSTER

      Can injured

    • Kroosin'
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Final score : Bou 1 - 5 Liverpool.

      Firmino - 1 point with a YC.

      I own Firmino.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Can't see Bournemouth scoring tbh.

    • Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      No Liverpool coverage, Capoue > Can look a good move?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No

      2. Toure The Route
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yea I don't see why not .
        But don't think it can cover Firmino/ Mane .
        Can will get you more than Capoue but can't cover.

    • borat
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      is origi nailed for 4-5 gws. if yes then he could be a great differential. 6.5 only. looks perfect austin replacement

      Cliverpool the new hospital after Arsenal

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Arsenal is a hospital no longer now Diaby has left and Wilshire is on loan

    • KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hi.
      Leading my ML by 34 points.
      Is it worth doing Deeney, Kosc, Redmond -> Anichebe, Cedric, Sanchez for -12?

      Would leave me this front 8
      Sanchez, Hazard, Firmino, Sigurdsson, Allen
      Kane, Costa, Anichebe

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pretty close to what I'm thinking of for a -12, just Capoue instead of Allen. It looks tasty doesn't it, it's just that -12

        1. KUNingas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah too tasty. Maybe push the button tonight

      2. Toure The Route
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Got the same thing with Can instead of Allen .
        Probably worth it long run .

        1. KUNingas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah this is what Im talking to me. Redmond and Deeney have done nothing for about 4 GWs..

    • Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino doesn't come across as a football player at all

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        wut

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Just his style of play. Runs around a lot but doesn't receive much of the ball, plays very awkwardly, hen scores a few all of a sudden

      2. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pretty though.

      3. Tansey
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        yeah... the liverpool shirt is a giveaway though

      4. Bubz
        • 12 Years

        You shouldnt judge a book by its teeth

    • Gruu

      Firmino to Ericsson for free?

      1. Paul
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        not this gw

      2. RoysCallerAnne

        • 16 Years

        Did you watch West Ham yesterday?

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino seems very cautious today, playing out of where all the action is

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Probably still nursing his calf then

    • diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Klopp should sell Sturridge - better off with Coutinho, Firmino, Mane and Origi. Can use the money to buy someone as back up to the main three.

    • Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Is Firmino to Sanchez(c) worth a -4? No other Pool or Arsenal coverage.

      1. Toure The Route
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Probably in the long term but for all you know Firmino might end up scoring next week when Sanchez suddenly has a surprise blank, such has been this season .
        Worth getting Sanchez but you ll be chasing last week s points when Firmino plays west ham and Sanchez plays stoke who don't conceed more than 2 goals.

    • Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      8 yards down and 4 yards across and that's a great goal, Bobby.
