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

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He's absolute waste out wide imo
        Watching the match Today I didnt see him even with that hair until he got the yellow card
        Eriksen was subbed early and he'll play midweek
        Has a better fixture than Firmino
        Sureluly for free you'd do it right?

    4. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years

      100%. He misses his bum chum Coutinho too much to actually play well

  4. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Does anyone know if there will be press conferences tomorrow?

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

      Should be yes

    2. Jimmers

  6. InvertedWinger
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Bottomed
    A) Firmino to Eriksen
    B) Allen to Siggy
    C) Both for -4

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

      Anyone?

    2. AndyCook
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Siggy, that's a massive upgrade

      1. AndyCook
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Erisken not worth the -4 in my opinion. He's not that great an option there's just not that many great options right now

      2. InvertedWinger
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thank you

  7. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino to payet for free
    Yes or no?

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

      Probably yes

    2. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm thinking yes

  8. Worzel Gummidge
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino to alli
    Anichebe to Origi

    -4, here I come.

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

      Alli was completely anonymous today

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Just like everyone in Spurs team who were playing Man U away.

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

          He's having a poor season

          1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Noticed you like Eriksen. He has scored the same amount of goals and assists but Eriksen is having a smashing season. Way to be subjective 🙂

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

              Eriksen has more points and is on set pieces

              1. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 7 months ago

                Eriksen has played more minutes and he was on set pieces last season and Alli still outscored him. Good luck with Eriksen though.

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

                  Alli was playing well last season ...

                2. Coaly
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  Eriksen significantly better rating for influence, creativity AND threat lol

                  1. Worzel Gummidge
                    9 years, 7 months ago

                    This literally means nothing. This game is about points!! This must be your first year

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

                      You must not watch games

                    2. Coaly
                      • 13 Years
                      9 years, 7 months ago

    Crazy to do Mane --> Hazard for free?

  13. KUN+10
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Mane non-owners...we got off easy I think. Guy looked dangerous today

  14. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Best lovren replacement ? Currently have alonso and cedric
    Thinking about holebas

    1. InvertedWinger

      Jones

    3. AndyCook

      Spurs?

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

    Firmino to?

    I'm thinking alli or eriksen but scared they could be benched

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Just suffered a loss and 10 points behind the leaders...dont think they will opt to rotate

  16. Hooky
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    49 points - bang average. Maybe scrape a small green if lucky. Not long till the next GW at least 🙂

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

    Randolph not up for talking to this interviewer haha

  18. Tinmen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Folks, what's the best use of my transfers?

    Firmino and Austin to

    A) Alli/Eriksen and Carroll

    B) Payet and Carroll

  19. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    That's why Liverpool have more chance of going to the moon than winning the PL. They are crap at defending , Chelsea aren't.

  20. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Which move ?

    A) Firmino to Eriksen
    B) Iheanacho to Origi
    C) both for -4

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

      A

  21. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Leicester fixtures are juicy. Anyone on Slimani?

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

      Think it best to wait one more week on Leicester, see if it's a false dawn. Then we can all panic when it looks like they are bang back on form.

  22. vectorman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Lallana or Antonio for Firmino to pay for Alonso?.. Canni make up me mind, I'd loathe to go without Liverpool coverage it scares me

    1. mir
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd go lallana. Thinking of brining him in. It's not nice being without liverpool. I have been since Coutinho injury and suppose sort of got away it bar Mane.

  23. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years

    Plenty of hits this week again.

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

      Looking at at least a -8 here, possibly 12

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

      Surely nowhere near as much? Who would the masses be transferring out?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Firmino, 3rd forward, Lovren

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

          I'd speculate only one though. None of them are worth it on a hit. We'll see I guess...

          1. Geoff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I'd agree with this. Firmino gets one more game for me, Lovren isn't urgent.

            Getting Austin out is though.

    3. youknowho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Firmi fire sale time.

  24. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Best transfer this week?
    A. Williams > Alonso (would mean money set aside for Sanchez would be gone)
    B. Walcott & Walker > Sanchez & Evans/Pieters (-4)
    C. Firmino & Williams > Sanchez & Evans/Pieters (-4)
    D. Hazard > Sanchez
    E. Firmino & Walcott > Sanchez & Lallana (-4)

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

    Kosc > Alonso
    Redmond or Firmino out for a -4?

  26. coopsxx

    1. ONSIDE 9

  27. Emiliano Sala

    Guys, what changes to do with 1 FT & 0.3m itb?

    Grant
    Walker / Cedric / Mcauley / Amat
    Sanchez / Firmino / Hazard / Siggy
    Kane / Costa
    (Pickford / Fletcher / Holebas / Austin)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Austin is a permabench.

  30. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino to mane??
    Then swap for coutinho (back jan 14th) just in time for mane to head off to ACON.

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

      Yeah
