The final match of Gameweek 15 sees Liverpool welcome West Ham United to Anfield in the 4.30pm kick-off.

Both Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are highly fancied against a Hammers defence that shipped five at home to Arsenal last weekend.

Mane has served up points in five of his six home outings, whilst Firmino will be looking to banish a three-match barren run and return to the form that has already seen him register 15 points in front of his own supporters on two occasions.

Divock Origi looks to score for the fourth successive match in all competitions to strengthen his claim as a mid-price festive frontman.

West Ham, meanwhile, have home encounters with Burnley and Hull followed by a trip to Swansea in the upcoming three Gameweeks.

We’ll be looking for signs of form from Dimitri Payet and the fit-again Michail Antonio, then, while big Andy Carroll is named amongst the subs against his former club, having emerged from the bench to net the Hammers’ consolation against Arsenal last time out.

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

    get out of my team firmino

  2. camarozz
    • 11 Years

    Firmino has very white teeth.

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      yet he got a yellow. seems legit.

  3. Willber
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Walcott or Lallana?

    Walcott would leave me with double arsenal (have Sanchez) but no Liverpool. Arsenal have smashing fixtures coming up. Is it worth doubling up at the risk of no liv?

    That Mane assist staying I guess then?

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  5. FPL Footy Show Pod

    Wish I could pay an expert to tell me what to do with my team it's shocking

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You want my account number?

    2. diesel001

      Stick with it. Chopping and changing every week stuffs you over. No point chasing last week's points.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Meh... sometimes its the right thing to do though.

  6. drughi

    Last 5 gameweeks has been terrible, firmino get lost

    1. Willber
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm the same. He's out

  7. Worzel Gummidge
    9 years, 7 months ago

    0.2 short for Payet so Alli it is.

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would rethink Worz. Great fixs. Seemed invisible today.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Man U away is hardly an easy fixture tbf

        1. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Agree. Meant great after today. Imo Son and Eriksen looked livelier.

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If money was no object, you'd get Payet? Think that's my move

  8. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Do you think is worth getting Payet?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would but 0.2 short so Alli coming in. I could get Payet if I didn't get Origi in but want Origi until Cout returns.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Hammers fixtures are great, but I don't trust their form plus I'd rather get Siggy, because i also have 2 Spurs already.

      2. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I'm probably getting Origi too unless Andy goes nuts here.

  9. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Which Duo?

    A) Payet & A Smith
    B) Antonio & Bellerin
    C) Son & Bellerin
    D) Eriksen/Alli and Daniels

  10. 404_FC

    i think i will ditch firmino to mane

    yay or nay

    1. S.Agueroooooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      AFCON

  11. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I'm late to the party but ... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

  12. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Did lovren to Alonso .

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      same

  13. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    So we are all doing Firmino to Payet then 🙂

    Now Micky is not an option

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      😀 merry go round

    2. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Micky would be back only for boxing day..

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Payet scored last

  14. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pick 1 to bring in for Firmino

    A Eriksen
    B Alli

    Thanks?

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Erik

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Alli either has no form or last was just a lucky run
      Either way Eriksen seems better

  15. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of doing Austin and Lovren to Liorente and Toby for -4 go for it?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah might do something similar myself

      1. aleksios
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks

  16. DeadStarComing

    9 years, 7 months ago

    I actually think that was quite obviously a Mane assist. It's just a shame FPL don't just issue more, and be consistent with it. They rule some assists out for very little. Bit of a luck element to me.

  17. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I thought the ScoutCast said that Liverpool midfield is a lottery so you might as well keep whoever you've got?

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah that's why I'm stuck with coutinho

      Bad advice

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I think there are limits to that advice

  18. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How did Mane get the second assist? Randolph touched it before Origi knocked it in.

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Will be taken

    2. Oddjobleff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same as a spilled shot I guess. They're always given as assists

  19. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino -> Payet & Nacho -> Origi for -4 yes or no?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No. Nacho to Origi only.

  20. More Tragic
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Replacing Coutinho with Firmino instead of Mane.

    Major fail.

  21. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Everyone hating on Firmino, I'm thinking of tripling up him, Mane, Origi.

    1. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      With Boro and Everton away?

  22. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Can't believe ppl are forgetting ozil and his fixtures. Unbelievable

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      shhh!

  23. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Nacho -> Origi may be the smartest move now, right?

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Smartest move? Why did you even get Nacho? For one game?

  24. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who is playing central in the why attack,antonio or ayew???

    1. Hi I'm Jose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The only thing Im sure of is that Randolph plays keeper. West Ham are so messy, you have to look for Antonio, Ayew, Lanzini where to find them.

  25. kalmoffit
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino goes from essential to useless during the last page

  26. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Jeez, Bobby in his own half.

  27. Pariße
    • 11 Years

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

    2. Bubz
