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

    Payet goal

    Out of FFS Cup if Payet gets another attacking return 🙁

    Wow, top effort

    Firmino fire sale?

      You posted this so must be happening now if not before.

    Plenty of hits this week again.

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

      Looking at at least a -8 here, possibly 12

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

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

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

        Firmino, 3rd forward, Lovren

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

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

            Getting Austin out is though.

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

      Firmi fire sale time.

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

    Keep Firmino ? Yes?

    What about Itchy Nacho? Keep v Watford or is he unlikely to play do we think?

    I haven't seen any of Saturdays matches...

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

      Yes to Firmino IMO

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

        I'm giving him one more game

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

        I tend to concur

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

      I'm giving Iheanacho one more chance, mainly because I don't like the look of any of the alternatives.

      Might ditch Firmino for Alli/Eriksen.

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

        Good moves those.

        I think it's about 50/50 Ihea starting

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

          Haven't got any Spurs 'cover', tricky stuff.

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

          Yep I think that's fair.

          I've learnt from this week that even getting rid of duds for hits doesn't necessarily help!

          Got rid of Bony and Fuchs for a -8 but lost points as I would have got Amat and Iheanacho didn't perform.

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

            Ah yeah patience is necessary.

            I held Austin and played Capoue instead of a hit for Ihea or Carroll and saved that -4

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

              Well played, kept that knee from jerking much better than I did!

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

      considering shipping both.

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

      I think it's worth keeping Firmino. The team are still scoring and as we've experienced all season the Liverpool attackers take it in turns to get points

    5. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I'd keep Nacho, but lost Firmino.

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

      I'd ship Firmino if you have a spare transfer and keep Iheanacho

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

        Commiserations on the H2H this week btw 😉

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

          haha 😆

          I did clock it earlier.

          What was the score in the end?

          Did the mane 2nd assist tip it in your favour?

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

            61 vs 59(-4) in the end. I was fuming after your Lukaku and Holebas points 😀

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

        Hmmm, not sure - they like scoring goals do LFC

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

          It's the 4 blanks in a row and total anonymity that swings it for me!

    7. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I'm thinking of selling Firmino to a Spurs mid, Evs. Less about firmino not scoring of late, and more about the two very enticing home fixtures for Spurs. I've also got lovren and nacho, so the priorities are uncertain. I'll hold nacho for Watford, and maybe sell lovren and Firmino.

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

        I may sell Snoddy for spurs mf.

        Do you own Kane?

        1. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          I do own Kane, so a sale to a Spurs mid isn't necessary. ....greedy.

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

      I'm done with Firmino

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

      Would you get rid if you had a Firmino Mane double up for a Spurs mid?

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

        yes for Eriksen

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

    I love Lallana 🙂
    Don't own him though 🙁

  8. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years

    Shall I get a Burnley or a 'Boro mid? (Max 4.5)
    And which one do we reckon is best?

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

      De Roon

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Marney

    3. Bleach †
      • 9 Years

      De Roon, if you want a fodder.

      Ffs I meant defender. I thought you were al eejits until I looked at my post again

  9. Az

    Any news on Lovren?
    Rumours on twitter say he's done his hamstring, but could just be a coverup because really he's just crap

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

      I didn't realize he only played 45. Maybe I will have a hit this week

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

      just crap. He's gone for me this week and I've somehow made 0.1m from his crappy arse.

    3. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Klopp said 'cramp on his hamstring'. Whatever the hell that meant.

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Didn't think he was bad either, but I don't know nuthin about nuthin.

    Williams and Lovren -->

    A: P.Jones & David Luiz
    B: Barragan & Alonso

    ?

    1. Moves like Dejagah
      • 9 Years

      I like A because of fixtures but guess Jones may be rotated.

    2. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years

      B boro have great fixtures in a few weeks.

  14. Cubillas

    9 years, 9 days ago

    Fer has played full games in about 90% of Swans' matches this season. However, he didn't even play even 1 minute today.

    Has he fallen out of favor with Bradley, or was he injured?

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

      Rested

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

      You've posted this exact question five times already. Give it a rest mate

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

        Just got online, was he rested then? Can rested also?

      2. Cubillas
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        You probably noticed, "mate", that no one replied the first four times. So, if I hadn't posted the question five times, I would not have known that Fer was rested and maybe would've wasted a transfer.

        Unless you're the owner of this site, I'd suggest you keep your bossy comments to yourself.

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

    My biggest flaw as an FPL player is my inability to take hits for a defender that'll pay off in the long term. 4 points from my entire defense hurts when people are pulling in 9 pointers from VVD and Azpi.

  21. camarozz
    • 11 Years

    What happened can??
    Was he injured?
    Looked at my sons team and he is flagged??

      Injury. His knee if I not mistaken.

  22. That Was Easy!

    Missed the game earlier, can someone tell my how Kane looked, eye-test?

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend

      Lacklustre

    2. tm245

      Not good.

    3. Moves like Dejagah
      • 9 Years

      He was woeful and his mistake for Utd goal.

    4. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years

      I think Kane missed the game aswell so I wouldn't worry

  23. Total Foot 5

    antonio upfront. carroll bench.

  24. Team Cruel

  25. Top 210 Club

    Want Rose for the Xmas run in but feel that he may get rotated and that Vertonghen the safer pick? What you guys think? Have 6m

  26. Wilshere Knowledge
