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

    Zaha / Phillips / Ox - I am tempted by the Ox... but rotation. Any thoughts?

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

      terrible fixtures coming up for both Zaha and Phillips.

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

      Phillips imo

  3. F4L
    • 11 Years

  4. Captain Vantastic™

    Firmino to fall in price tonight? Currently on +30% but dropping like a stone

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

      No chance

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

      I think not. The price changes could happen earlier this week though.

  5. Jimmy Boy

  6. Le _ Professeur

    Pogba worth considering as Firmino replacement ?

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

      Yes

    2. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Decent maverick pick. He's never been a prolific goalscorer, but he has the quality and maybe now the opportunity.

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

      Better options out there for around the same price and cheaper to be honest but the fact that Pogba is nailed for 90 mins every game appeals. Worth monitoring but not transferring in just yet.

      Cheers guys

    Lloris - Heaton
    Alonso - Cedric - Holebas - Evans - Amat
    Sanchez - Hazard - Firmino - Siggy - de Roon
    Kane - Defoe - Iheanacho

    1 ft, 2.4 itb.

    Iheanacho and Firmino -> Costa and Antonio?
    Can get a mid up to 6.9.

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

    Best option only for GW16 only?

    A) Llorente (wba)
    Have Siggy.

    B) Carroll (BUR)
    Have Payet.

    C) Rondon (SWA)

    Appreciate your thoughts!

      Just rested I think. He was injured recently and has 3 games in quick succession.
      Really unlucky for owners

      1. Will - Fantasy Football Hub
        • 14 Years

        Cheers. Fortunate to have amat off the bench so can't complain

            Nice!

  11. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    A. Nacho

    B. Llorente

    C. Origi

    D. Rondon

    My 4 options, can't decide which one! B does enable Firmino > Payet for either a hit or after mid week game

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

      B then, just do it 🙂

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        I do have Siggy too! Hmmm

  12. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone know about Can?
    When is he back?

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

      Liverpool tweeted that he has a knee injury but it's not serious.

  13. JJJ
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Gundogan to Antonio is a go, right?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      yep, but reckon he might do well vs Watford

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

        yeah, if he plays....

  14. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Why are there no forwards standing out other than Kane and Costa?

    I'm trying to go a different route than jumping on Costa (yeah, stupid I know), and no-one seems to be doing a decent enough job of throwing their hat in the ring.

    United - Ibra - looked off the pace today. Can he play all the games over xmas at 36?
    Liverpool - Origi - meh
    Man City - Iheanacho - I think Nolito will be given the chance vs Watford
    Palace - Benteke - but a couple of tough fixtures vs United and Chelsea
    Swansea - Llorente - have Siggy and don't fancy a double up.

    Who the hell else is there??

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Lukaka?
      But he has tough games..

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        seems to like those, but Everton aren't exactly clicking. Arsenal, Liverpool, Leicester... I can't see a -4 being repaid with those fixtures.

    2. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Benteke is a good shout even with rough fixtures

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah could be AZ, can't help but feel I've missed that train

    3. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Lukaku, Okaka

      1. Colonel Klink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        You would actually get Okaka?

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Okaka might not be a bad shout against City's defence!

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

      Carroll

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Will he start the next one? West Ham seem ok with Antonio up front.

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

          I think he'll start one of the next two and get a sub the other.

          I'm not saying he's a great option but should be considered

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

            Yeah, appreciate it. I was hoping he'd start today and show some signs of being sharp.

            I might end up going with Origi just because Liverpool will always create chances.

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

              The tough part of all this is I'm pretty sure I'll be transferring out whoever I bring in after a few weeks 🙁

    5. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I'd be willing to bet he'll play all the games over xmas and get his fair share of goals. His next five fixtures are great

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

        Zlatan that is

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          I can only see him scoring from a penalty or a pin perfect cross. He was barely moving at times today to conserve his energy.

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

            I do wonder if Rashford or Rooney will get a start up top

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

    A) Lovren -> Jones. Firmino to Mkhi when fit
    B) Firmino -> Eriksen. Consider Mkhi again when fit
    C) Nacho -> Forward

  16. Moves like Dejagah
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone know how the bonus points were distributed for Liverpool game?

  17. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Once again....Eriksen or Alli?

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

      Eriksen

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

      Eriksen I think

  18. AZERTY
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Pogba has 5 YC's, why no suspesion next game?

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

      Served it already, he got one in a cup

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

        Thanks!
        So, Firmino > Pogba valid option?

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

          I wouldn't get Pogba, rather Eriksen, Mané or Payet.

    2. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      He served suspension in league cup that was his 6th today

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

      already served ban thats his 6th YC. got one in league cup

  19. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Will the price changes be speed up this gameweek?

    Klopp says Lovren came off with what he describes as cramp in the hamstring area

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

      in other words he bottled it

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

      Glad he cleared that up. Had he said only cramp, I may have thought it had to do with a cramp in Lovren's brain area.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    4. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE

      Think i'm keeping. May aswell take advantage of Zaha's good work until Afcon

    5. Lawrø
      • 13 Years

      I'll keep for the next one at least, no other stand out options anyway.

  28. swisstime

    Payet or Eriksson for Firmino?

  29. Karan_G14

    Appreciate your thoughts!

        1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
          • 11 Years

          Not convinced by him or rondon

  30. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Has been downhill for 10 gws in a row. I need decent mid price or cheap 4th mid to upgrade my defence to a start this turnaround.

    Is Antonio my best option when looking at fixtures?
