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

    Another red arrow with 52 -8.
    Thank you firmino, Haz(C) and Kane.
    Thank you sooooo much.

    1. RoysCallerAnne

      Yeah, today was very disappointing.

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

        Yeah thought today was the day by season turned good. 4 straight red arrows last 4 gws.
        Another one tonight looks like.
        It will nvr turn round it seems.

    2. Camp No No

      52-8? You don't even know what pain is.

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

      Same trio Firmi cap 😐 51 (-8)

  2. walkman666

    • 11 Years

    So, by coincidence, Spurs and west ham both have burnley and hull home matches in the next two game weeks. Payet vs Eriksen/Alli quite a decision for those losing patience with firmino.

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

      I'm done with him it's a case of whom now...

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

    What is Man Utd's back 4 going to look like with Bailly back fit?

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

      No idea.

      Well, Valencia at right back.

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

        Me neither. I haven't been taking too much notice of the mid-table teams this season.

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      He will play with valencia darmian and one of rojo or jones

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

        Thanks!

    3. Demí
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I think Rojo and Jones will continue to start for now. Bailly riding the pine till he returns from ACON. Expect Darmian to lose his place first, but could be either Shaw or Blind in

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

        Thanks!!

  4. Carlton P
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Firmino dropping fast on fplstatistics, won't go down tonight right?

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

      +27%?

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Tomorrow or day after likely

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

    Keep Firmino or Redmond this GW?

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

      Rather keep Firmino

    2. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Firm

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

    Armband for gw16

    Sanchez
    Kane
    Costa

    Dilemma between costa and kane....

    1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Kane.

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

      Kane, Hull are terrible.

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

      Got to be Kane

    4. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Costa, Kane goes missing in games

  7. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Right then... if you had this lot... 1ft and 2.1 what would you do...?

    Foster/pick
    Walker/stones/holebas/Amat/pieters
    Sanchez/Wally/firmino/Redmond/fletcher
    Kane/costa/ineacho

    A) Redmond ---> siggy
    B) stones ----> alonso
    C) firmino ----> hazard
    D) something else?

    1. Hakchak
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      B for sure - need Chelsea defence

    2. ANON.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      B

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

    Austin + Firmino > Costa + Antonio (-4)

    Seems the best bet?

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

      Looks decent

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

        I could go cheaper than Antonio but he seems decent value having dropped to 6.7m. I'll check his average position in the last few games just in case he's been playing RB again.

        1. Tommy J
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          He started as the main striker today then moved to right wing back. I think he's a good option.

  9. ANON.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    What to do here? 1ft, 0.1 in the bank

    Heaton
    Alonso, Cedric, Evans
    Hazard, Mane, Firmino, Walcott
    Ibra, Kane, Nacho

    Pickford, Amat, Fletcher, Holebas

    A. Save
    B. Firmino to Siggy
    C. Nacho to Origi

    1. Hakchak
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Save for this week

    Hi guys. Anyone know if there's an idea of what the safety score is gonna be for LMS?

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

      30 something probably. Too early.

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

        Oh ok, thanks! Should be alright then.

      2. ozloc

          How to register in the first place ? Would love to play in next season

    😐

    Firmino ➡

    A) Lallana (mid,eve,STK,MCI)

    B) Antonio (BUR,HUL,swa,lei)

  12. Jay_
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Feeling a bit stuck with Anichibe and DeRoon as my 7th and 8th attackers. What looks best for now?

      ---------------Foster-----------------
      -----Alonso Cedric Pieters------
      Sanchez Hazard Payet Siggy
      -------Kane Costa Anichibe-----
      -------------------------------------------
      Pickford DeRoon Holebas Amat

      0 FT, 2.5m ITB (FT used, Firmino > Payet)

      Even though Anichibe has CHE this gw and highly likely he blanks, he then has WAT home on Saturday. Also, Sunderland at home seem way more confident and attacking.

      A) Good to go.
      B) DeRoon > Antonio -4 benching Anichibe but then have a benching dilemma the weekend
      C) Anichibe > 7.1 fwd (Carroll/Origi)
      D) Something else?

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

        Just get a better defender Jay and go 442 for this week. A Spurs defender should pay back the hit.

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

        A

    • Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      With bailly and maybe smalling coming back to team will rojo or jones be nailed ?
      Jones or rojo ? Which is more nailed ?

      1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Neither. Both should drop

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

        I think both could play. Rojo switching to left back and Jones partnering Bailly

    • dwain100
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Hi Guys.

      Firminio to:
      A. Walcott
      B. Antonio
      C. Stick with him

      I already have Sanchez.

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

        C for me

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

        C

      3. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Ali/Eriksen?

        1. dwain100
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Have Eriksen too. Hazard and Siggy my other two mids

    • glufs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Do we know when Austin is back?
      Still dont want to transfer him out.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        That's the spirit! Keep the faith!

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

          Im not relying on fate, just wonder if anyone have information so that I can do the reasonable choice.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

            Right below you. And in the scout tweets. 😉

    • Concrete
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Mustafi and Austin to Ake and Benteke -4

      Yes or no

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Certainly better than no transfer.

    • pstokes2010
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Anyone think Sterling is worth a punt for the next two home games?

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

        😆

    • Lightbody
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Hey team, best Austin replacement following this weekend's fixtures?

      A) Origi (susceptible to rotation with Coutinho/Sturridge returns in a few weeks)
      B) Iheanacho (" " with Nolito making a case for the lone striker role)
      C) Carroll (yet to complete 90 mins, but beautiful fixtures)
      D) Llorente (" ")
      E) Anichebe (money saved can be reinvested in midfield)

      Thanks in advance!

      rest of team:

      Karius (Pickford)
      Alonso Kos Cedric McAuley Amat
      Mane Sanchez Hazard Allen Redmond
      Costa Benteke Austin

      1FT, 0.1 ITB

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        E for me. All are a bit crap, but he would be essentially your 8th attacking player, enabling a strong midfield.

    • HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Ali Or Eriksen lads?

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

        Erik

      2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Not convinced with either. Alli maybe. Eriksens deliver isnt the most consistent from set pieces. Unless its a direct free kick

    • Mayo for Sam
      • 10 Years

      4. phace

        Bellerin. If fit, he's a play and forget about him player.

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

      Tempted to do Austin > Carroll and then I'd have the money to do Firmino > Payet after mid week!

      Too much West Ham?

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

        do you trust carroll's fitness?

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

          Was thinking of hopping on him for 4-5 great game weeks! Sure he'll last that long

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

        It's either this or Llorente and have double Swansea 🙁 or origi then I can't afford Payet after 🙁

      Hmm. Alli, Eriksen, Antonio and Payet all staring at me as options ... HUL and BUR next.

      Who do we think is most prone to rotation from these guys? I think Alli or Eriksen could get a cheeky rest in one of them ...

      1. Karan_G14
