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

    9 years, 9 days ago

    Austin + Firmino to Okaka + Payet for a hit

  3. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Are people liekly to move Kane to Ibra after these two home fixtures?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Plenty will if Kane fails.

      1. Pie-o-My
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Kane is not going to fail in these two games though

  4. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Don't really want to do another -4 next GW, who would you move on first:

    A) Firmino
    B) Wilson

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      failmino

    2. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      A

  5. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Pages flying...whats best?
    A) Kos to Alonso
    B) Lovren to ManU-defender
    C) Firmino to Payet/Mané
    Pick 1 or 2 for a hit?

    1. ZakAFC_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      AC

    2. ImTheDude
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      B I think for me, but I don't have Firmino. Just trying to figure out which ManU defender at 5.4 is the most nailed on.

      1. MartialMatas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        valencia

  6. asquishypotato
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Awful awful game week, so:

    Austin and Cap to Anichebe and Boufal?

    Max price for a mid is 7.0 as I want to save for the return of Valencia.

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Antonio maybe

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Terrible week here too. Ah well.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      prefer Antonio over Boufal

  7. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Need to replace Austin. Tempted to sell Firmino for -4 to give me more cash to spend:

    A) Austin to Carroll/Llorente (FT)
    B) Austin/Firmino to Origi/Eriksen (-4)

    1. ImTheDude
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      B

  8. Lucky_Z
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Heaton/Jakupovic
    Alonso/Cedric/McAuley/Amat/Holebas
    Hazard/Alexis/Walcott/Siggy/Firmino
    Kane/Anichebe/Austin

    1.8 ITB, 1FT

    A) Firmino => Payet
    B) Austin => Origi
    C) Both for -4
    D) Save and play Anichebe, then play 2 FTs

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      C

  9. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Cant see any decent options below 7m to replace Austin

    How about going 3-5-2 with Antonio as 5th mid. Just look at whu fixtures

    BUR HUL swa lei.

    Could be goals galore in a couple of those matches. Thoughts ?

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Andy Carroll if you fancy a punt

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

        I'm worried about his minutes but his impact as a sub can be great.

        Still think Llorente is my punt this week

        1. ryacoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          I'm between those 2 as well. Don't fancy doubling up with Siggy and Llorente for next 2 away fixtures though really, so might gamble on Carroll.

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

            Ah that's a good point.

            I'm also considering Firmino + Capoue + Austin > Ibra + Phillips/Snodgrass? + DeRoon (-8)

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Rondon vs Swansea next.

    3. Lucky_Z
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Same. Maybe Origi, but too short term. Antonio is an option for you. I am already on 352

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      thinking the same after Nacho's failure

  10. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Is Vertonghen a rotation risk or safe?

    1. Lucky_Z
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Never was. Nailed.

    2. Pie-o-My
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      He's played every minute of every game

  11. Crystal Ball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Firmino and Anchovies to Eriksen and:

    A) Zlatan
    B) Kane
    C) Any other suggestions?

    Already got Origi so nice bit of Liverpool 'cover'

    1. Coldplay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      C with Haddock

  12. Football Weekender
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    The only positive from this GW is that we go again on Tuesday evening.

  13. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Took a hit for Iheanacho thanks to Austin...

    Worth bring in Origi for Iheanacho for free? (I have Firimino still)

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      keep ihenacho for watford in case he starts, failmino out

    2. Football Weekender
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      No, don't jump ship on Iheanacho just yet.

    3. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I'm going to give him the Watford game then decide. Even if he doesn't start he could come on and do well. Stones out us a bigger priority for me. Been putting it off for far too long....

    4. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      i'd hold nacho

    5. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Thanks lads. Appreciated.

  14. Bleach †
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Your opinion, what's the way to go.
    A)343
    B)352

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      3-5-2 with Costa & Kane upfront.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      im liking:

      Sanchez Haz Eriksen Siggi Antonio

      Costa Kane Anichbe

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I'm planning a 4-4-2. 3-5-2 will involve a cheap 5th mid for me, none of whom look tempting right now.

  15. Smoky Johnson
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Firmino to Pogba? Nice fixtures. + he wants to score sooo bad. Praying to god 10 times per games

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Personally I would go with either Eriksen or Ali based on Spurs next two fix

      But yeah pogba would be a good diff

  16. Evans
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Evening

    Best replacement for Lovern @5m ?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Crdric

      1. Evans

    2. Kip
      • 11 Years

      I think i'm gonna board the Holebas-express

  17. Adz87
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    A) allen > de roon
    B) nacho > origi
    C) save

    Allen will never play in my team, free funds up. Dont really want to dump nacho yet but have no liverpool. No other pressing issues.

  18. Nicks93
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Did Ayew look good today?

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Not really

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      This

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years

      Rusty and needs few more games under his belt

  19. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    I would say people who don't follow this site did well this week.

    1. Evans
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Lol

    2. Bleach †
      • 9 Years

      Triggered xD

    3. squits
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I don't know about that. I picked Zaha a few weeks back because of this site and then also Siggy has been pushed by a lot on here.

      Nacho bandwagon hasn't worked out yet but there's still time!

  20. THAPHILLSTER
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Whats the next move

    Pickford Grant
    Brunt Alonso Pieters van Dijk Amat
    Sánchez Mané Hazard Zaha Sigurdsson
    Nacho Kane Costa

    0.5 ITB
    1FT

    A: Nothing
    B: Mane to Payet
    C: Siggi to Eriksen and nacho to Llorente
    D; Something to do with Zaha

  21. WUSS
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Getting in Coutouis for a hit worth it?
    I already have Alonso.

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

      Never hit in net I think.

      Who do you have now?

      1. WUSS
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Heaton/Foster

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

          I'd hold. That's strong and I don't think you need to upgrade

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      No

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Doubling up on Chelsea def is brilliant atm
      Although it leaves you with only 1 chelsea slot elsewhere

      1. WUSS
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah even I was thinking the same, already have costa, so that isn't a issue

  22. ChelseaGuy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Firmino to Siggy
    Fer to Antonio for a -4
    Yay or Nay?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Yes

    2. Bored Bear
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

    3. squits

    Grant
    Alonso, Lovren, Cedric
    Sanchez, Hazard, Firmino, Siggy, Allen

    Thanks

  24. Frank Black
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Hazard and Iheanacho to Zaha and Costa? Or worth keeping Iheanacho for Watford? I'm afraid he's going to be on the bench and Pep is going to play Nolito false 9.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Fancy nacho points even if it's a cameo

  25. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    What a rubbish day. At least I have Holebas coming off the bench for Lovren's 0. 😎

    1. John wick
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Soorry to spoil the party...he played conceded 2 goals and was subbed half time dats y its zero

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
