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

  5. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    3 game weeks in the 3 millions, another 4 in the 2 millions

  6. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Looking to tweak defence with Aguero funds so taking inspiration from the hot topic on Cherries:

    a) Pieters or Evans > Daniels
    b) Love > Ake
    1.3m itb

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

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

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

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

          I'm currently thinking of doing Firmino and Anichebe to Lallana and Origi. Both were far more involved today than Firmino.

          1. D0GS B0110XS FC
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 9 days ago

  8. Torres76
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Good move for -8?

    In. - Pickford, Walker, Llorente
    Out - Heaton, Lovren, Ineachacho

    1. Yes
    2. No

    Thanks

    1. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years

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

      Walker might get rotated midweek

  9. FantasTic
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Best replacement for Firmino+austin?
    A. Kane+Zaha
    B. Eriksen+Origi
    Front 7 (Sanchez,Hazard,Firmino,Siggy,Costa,Benteke,Austin)

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      B

    2. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Ozil is the way

    3. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      A

  10. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Have 8.6 to spend in a striker, is Benteke the best choice even considering his fixtures? (MUN, CHE, wat ars)

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

      Not worth it at 8.6 with those fixtures.

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

      Origi

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

      He might only score against Watford

  11. jimbobmij
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Since suspension tightrope is down, anyone know if Antonio is 1 card from a suspension or has he already served it?

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

    So Firmino out is now THE thing to do this GW? Didn't see the game. Is he injured or something? Or just a bad performance?

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

      He's looked absolutely dreadful these past 2 GW's. As an owner I'm currently looking to drop him.

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

      Didn't see it all but the bits I did see Firmino was non existent

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

      I'm keeping hold as more pressing issues but he was truly awful

      1. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Same here, I'm sure he will be a knee jerk for everyone on here

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

      4 blanks in a row, looking toothless atm

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

      He's just been bringing bagel to the table for the last few games, there are others in better form rn.

    OR Updated

    1. CABAYE4
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Ouch didn't expect to go down that much after being green yesterday.

      Mane and Southampton defence must be popular.

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

        22pts today and I went down 🙁

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

      Damn, up 100k yesterday but dropped about 50k today. Stupid Southampton defences.

  16. phace
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Bottomed... Attack looks like this currently (1.2 ITB):

    Sanchez/Hazard/Firmino/Siggy/Allen
    Kane/Costa/Diomande

    A) Firmino and Diomande -> Antonio and Origi (1.0 ITB) (-4)
    B) Firmino -> Mane (0.5 ITB) (straight swap - no hit)
    C) Something else.

    N.B. Hull/Stoke have a difficult run of games coming up.

    1. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Team is fine, but if your really desperate get eriksen or payet for Firmino. Mane has AFCON and is facing a tough boro side

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

      Firm > eriksen
      Allen > Antonio??

  17. jimbobmij
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    I can do Anichebe and Firmino to Origi and Lallana with 0 money ITB.

    Worth doing or anyone else I should consider? Really want to drop Firmino, he just looks so uninterested these past 2 games.

    1. Chris_H
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      As a Liverpool fan I'd be wary of getting two players in, our form is just a little off & mid/eve don't look that easy on paper

  18. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Watch when Firmino gets a haul cause everyone sold him lol

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

      Not everyone 😉

      1. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Firmino owners unite!! We'll be looking forward to his haul

  19. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    choose one. cheers!

    A) Nacho -> Origi
    B) Firmino -> Hazard
    C) both for a hit

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

      B

    2. MikeDuff

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

      I might just do C looking at ye next 3-4 games

    4. Kermit Special

  20. Scotty B

    Clyne Vertonghen Evans Pieters
    Firmino Sanchez Hazard

    Pickford Fletcher Capoue Amat

    0.3 ITB & 1 FT

    Any changes I should consider or save transfer?

  21. Martial Law
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Replace Austin with:

    A) Origi
    B) Benteke

  23. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Grant
    Walker/Alonso/McAuley
    Zaha/Siggy/Hazard/Sanchez/(Firmino)
    Kane/Costa

    Pickford/Anichebe/Holebas/Amat

    With 0.8 ITB Firmino to Eriksen/Payet is an obvious one ?

    Cheers mates !

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

      Yes, probs eriksen as the extra £s could be mcauley> Toby

    9 years, 9 days ago

    Which transfer looks best?
    A. Firmino > Mane/Payet/Alli
    B. Williams > Cedric
    C. Firmino, Defoe > Phillips/Zaha, Kane -4
    D. Firmino, Williams > Mane, Cedric -4

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

      I like A Alli and C with Phillips and kane. Kane best captain choice next week so C just edges it.

  26. ozloc
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Foster (Jaku)
    Alonso Lovren Amat (McAuley Collins)
    Hazard Siggy Sanchez Wally Fer
    Costa Kane (Diomande)

    A. Save
    B. Suggestion..?
    C. Masked Magician trick to get Eriksen in the squad.

  27. gforce23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Another crappy GW with 59 points. Here's my playing XI. Does this team look solid or do you guys recommend any changes?

    Courtois
    Amat McAuley Blind
    Sanchez Siggy Haz Firmino Phillips
    Benteke Costa

    1. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        No need to get all worked up. He thinks he's being clever with a humble brag. Best ignored.

  29. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Heaton / Pickford
    Koscielny, Walker, Evans / Amat, Holebas
    Hazard, Payet, Firmino, Sigurdsson / Capoue
    Kane, Costa, Iheanacho

    1 FT, 0.2 ITB

    Do you see a way to get Sanchez here?
    Or just do Kos --> Alonso? Or maybe get Özil/Walcott to at least have an Arsenal attacker?
    Is Hazard ditchable for Alexis as I also have Costa?

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

      Hazard to Sanchez
      Firmino to Lallana maybe
