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

    Is Origi nailed? Apparently that was the problem the last time?

    1. Licky
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      At least until Coutinho is back I guess. You don't change something if its working.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I think he probably is

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Off to AFCON with Wijnaldum soon

      1. Hi I'm Jose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Lol

      2. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        There will be a serious lack of strikers...I've heard Lukaku & Benteke are also going. Considering 4-5-1 myself.

      3. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Origi is from Belgium....

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Wijnaldum is Dutch

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Seems to be. Probably worth assuming so while the goals are going in

    5. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Well now Can is out, so he has to come back which means Lallana can shift to the wing, Mane on the other one and Firmino as a striker...

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        There's always a risk, but he still seems a better option than Iheanacho...bought him for 4 games and even now he's making cameos.

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yea good point, I'm not sure yet, a double up on Firmino an Origi is a bit too much for me. Think I'm just going to keep Iheanacho in there until after the Hull game

          1. Pariße
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah, it could be the best thing to do, but I can't have him and Guardiola fooling around when he's in my team 🙂 A striker's spot is precious.

  2. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Iheanacho to Carroll

    1. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I might do this

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Carroll or Origi

  3. Geoff

      This is actually a decent idea. We need somewhere we can express our anger.

    Pogba got his 5th yc today, Will he miss the next game or has he already served the ban including efl's yc?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Think he already served his ban

    2. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Done the ban

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Served it already.

    4. Team Cruel

      He served vs WH in the cup

  9. JÆKS ⭐

    Lovren out with my FT it seems

    Firmino can stay another week then....

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Same mate. I want to rage transfer him out for Eriksen for a hit though. Probably not the sensible option though.

      Who are you getting for Lovren?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        If Cedric was just rested, him probably

        Brunt also an option

      What were the questions?

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Google had the answer.

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You asked if Origi was going to Afcon just because he's black lol

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yes what's wrong with that?

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Oh dear

          1. Sims
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Most black people are either from Africa or European countries like France or Belgium etc. Which is what my question was and it was important as afcon is close

            If u think that's racist or anything maybe u she learn more about what really racism is

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Think you'll find black people are from all over the world

              1. Sims
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                True but most footballers in the premier league are mainly European or African(of not all)

            2. Here's Tom with the We…
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              Mate please don't dig yourself any deeper

        2. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years

          Reported hahahaha 😉

      2. Leaf

        His dad did play for Kenya

      3. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Sounds racist to me.

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          How so?

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

        😆

    5. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      It was a pretty silly question to be fair.

    7. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      haha you asked if Origi was going to AFCON, so you have to see the humor in that 🙂

      Also a quick google search would have given you the answer, although I don't see a problem in that.

  12. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    van Dijk and Azpi getting me 3 baps.

  13. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mane and Origi link up well. Firmino needs Coutinho back.

  14. rjcv177
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Settle on Payet.
    Best way to fund him, with Firmino gone (thkx in advance):

    A) Clyne to Reid
    B) Capoue to De Roon

    Grant (Pickf)
    Clyne, Cedric, McAuley (Amat, Holebas)
    Sanchez, Haz, Firm, Siggy (Capoue)
    Kane (C), Costa, Ihenacho

    1. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      b

  15. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who for Firmino (SV 8.6) 0.8 ITB
    Mane, Payet, Eriksen, Dele ? Someone else ?

    Cheers !

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Payet I think with the upcoming fixtures, especially if West Ham get a result here.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Mane

    3. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen if you don't have Spurs cover.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Have Kane !

        1. Gooner97
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Hammers fixtures are great, but I don't trust their form plus I'd rather get Siggy

          1. Atimis
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Siggy already on board + Hazard Sanchez Zaha + Firm ofc...

    4. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Eriksen

    5. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't tell you even if I knew.(Own him myself and frustrated)

    6. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Double Spurs can be good but also thinking about Payet

  16. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    If the big dawg survives he's in

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      This

    2. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Same here for sure. If he starts midweek do you think he will start again at the weeekend?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I reckon he will start both but will get subbed early

        1. Tansey
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Long as he gets 60+ mins in each I'll be happy

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

      Think he'll start next?

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

        Right. Sorry. Late to the Vardy...

  17. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Is Mane heading to the AFCON and how many PL games is he likely to miss if so?

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

      It depends on how long Senegal stay in the competition.

    2. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They were in the finals last time.

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just joking.

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Wally, Erisken or Alli?

    1. Hi I'm Jose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      For the party?

  19. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Best replacement for Morgan under 5.0?

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bruntiesta

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I would say cedric but hes gone missing

      1. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He was rested. That's the concern with busy schedule. High risk of rotation.

    3. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Cedric and Gibson

  20. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Clyne + Allen > Alderweireld + Erikson/Alli?

    Could even do Iheanacho > Carroll (-4)?

  21. tambourineman
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Three consecutive one-point captains, think I'll just leave it on Costa every week from now on

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Do what the captains poll tells you

  22. Tansey
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone have an idea of the minutes Son will get in the next 2?

  23. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Does anyone have the link to the top 1000 ownership page/spreadsheet?

  24. oscardo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Phil jones nailed?! 😀

  25. Jafalad
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So all the cool kids are buying Muniesa. 4.2. Nice uber buying.

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      When is shawcross back?

  26. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So I had already planned Firmino to Payet after this weekend but need to get a 4.3m defender in to fund it.

    Nyom or Ake?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      ak

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They would go along with my other defenders which are:

      Alonso / Cedric / Pieters / Amat

    3. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ake for me, although either works well

  27. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    If there was an award for the worst transfer decisions i would win hands down
    Sold hazard before his hauls
    Sold sanchez before his 37 points
    (Now got both back)
    Chose firm (instead of cout/mane)
    Bought heaton after utd game (done nothing since)
    Chose koscielny over a chelsea defender 8 GW's ago

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Also bought iheanacho this week instead of origi

  28. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino to lallana gives me Austin to defoe +0.6m

  29. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who to bring in for Lovren?

    £6.9ITB to spend as still have Kun money.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Alonso

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Already own Alonso.

        Current team;

        Heaton
        Alonso Lovren McAuley
        Sanchez Hazard Mane Siggy
        Costa Kane Anichebe

        Subs; Pickford Amat De Roon MWilson

        If I do Anichebe > Origi it leaves me with 4.9ITB to shift Lovren

  30. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Henderson is so crap.
