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

    What's the deal with Jones at United? Is he expected to keep that place? Solves a problem for me if so

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I think he's there to stay honestly.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Him, Rojo and Bailly will rotate at CB.

      1. Hakchak
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Really thinking about Firmino and Can out for Antonio and Eriksen for those fantastic next two fixtures

      2. JustPark
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Still holding on Morgan but lean toward him.

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years

      Hopefully

    4. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Mou said before the season that he rated Jones.

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Payet if he will be a 5th mid.

      If not then neither.

    Arnie >

    A) Antonio
    B) Lallana

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking B, but A has fixtures

  7. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hmm

    Gundo > Lallana or Antonio?

    Not knee jerk central, but was contemplating these beforehand and still none the wiser

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Haha same mate (see above)

      I've got Firmino so leaning towards Antonio atm, but might move Firmino on too.. Which leaves me with no Liverpool attack and that isn't ideal

  8. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    West Ham line up when all fit?

    --------Carroll-----------
    Payet----Ayew----Antonio

    1. davies
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I think Carroll will be benched for a while yet especially during Christmas period

    2. Funkyav
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep then someone comes in for Carroll the next game 😉

    3. Carlton P
      • 10 Years

      Yup

  9. Emiliano Sala

  10. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Crazy idea just came into my minds.

    Yes or No ?

    A) Firmino Zaha De Roon Nacho--> Eriksen Siggy Antonio Anichebe (-12)

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Just do - Firmino > Siggy

      Keep Nacho for another game at least.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      Not enough hits

  11. Syd.

    Firmino & Lukaku out

    Kane & Antonio in

    Anybody notice the numbnuts who made 28 posts during the first half?

    Clearly somebody worth listening to. 😆

        Going to have to narrow it down mate. There are loads on here.

      • Karan_G14

        Do we think Carroll starts the next match?

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Probably not

          1. Karan_G14
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Any reason why?

            1. Syd.
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              He isn't match fit and West Ham are scoring goals without him

      • FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years

        Anyone considering Ibrahimovic? Fixtures are beautiful.

      • ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Need some help with this lads:

        Pickford (Grant)
        Alonso -------- Cedric (Amat, ---------)
        Sanchez Hazard Firmino Sigurdsson (------)
        Costa Kane Anichebe

        Which option is better?
        A) Clyne, Browning, Can
        B) Bellerin, Walker, Fletcher (potential 4-4-2)

        1. Carlton P
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I'm thinking 4-4-2 at some point aswell when fixtures get better for Arsenal/United/brom
          Back 4 of bellerin brunt Alonso and whoever I can afford, they pretty much play as wingers anyway

      • thep025
        • 10 Years

        Who to remove first?? Pedro or Firmino? and for who?? Eriksen??Mkhi??Alli??

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Pedro, not Mhki

        2. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Mkhi is injured

        3. Chris_White
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Pedro to Alli

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Firmino to Eriksen or Payet

          1. thep025
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Payet is looking good?

        5. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe Alli or Payet.

          Damn, was just going to ask about him. Want to get Defoe or Tekkers but don't have the cash. I guess it has to be Anichebe then.

        2. itwaswritten

          1. Chris_White
            • 14 Years

            v good

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            I don't think so, not for me. I can see Klopp putting Firmino back in a false 9 after this game and Mustafi/Arsenal can keep Everton out.

            1. La Roja
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              How's Mustafi gonna do that?

            • 9 Years

            Might do the exact same transfers my only worrybwould be Vertonghen is on 4 YCs.

        • That Was Easy!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Is there really any reason I shouldn't keep Benteke through this bad patch of fixtures? Promising after, and there's no one besides risky picks elsewhere at his price, a la Origi, Carroll, Nacho, Llorente, etc.

          1. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Benteke loves scoring against united
