Gameweek 17 delivers one last match for Fantasy managers as Everton entertain Liverpool in the first Merseyside derby of the season.

Adam Lallana arrives at Goodison as the most sought-after target in Fantasy Premier League last week – over 290,000 drafted him in on the back of a 19-point haul at Middlesbrough.

Divock Origi was the number one forward for transfers in ahead of Gameweek 17 – the Liverpool frontman has recovered from a knock and is looking to score for the fifth successive Gameweek.

In terms of FPL captains, Romelu Lukaku and Sadio Mane are the two most popular picks for tonight’s match.

The big Belgian has struggled for form, though, failing to earn points in five of his previous six league outings.

Although he’s flourished at Anfield, Mane has disappointed on the road, serving up six blanks in eight road trips.

Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino – the third most transferred out ahead of Gameweek 17 – will be looking to stop the fire sale and end a run of five straight blanks against a defence with just a single clean sheet in 12 attempts.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Five goals from Lallana should mean I qualify for the first round of the cup 😀

    Used 1 FT , have 1 FT left. whatmove would you be eyeing up with this squad?. Will wait until after match obv

    Pick Grant
    WIlliams Lovren Holebas Friend Alonso
    Sanchez Antonio Hazard Mane Capoue
    Kane Ibra Anichebe
    0.0 1FT

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Save it I reckon. I think the flexibility of 2FT can help you downgrade Williams/Lovren and upgrade Anichebe or downgrade Kane and upgrade Williams/Lovren and Anichebe.

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years

        yeah, might get Ake after next week. or could get Jones

    What makes a person choose to support Everton over Liverpool?

    1. Jimmers

        Coercion. No young folk generally follow the pool as they've won nothing in a generation (I don't could 2005 cl as they hadn't won the EPL).

        If you like to release a DVD when you win a derby match or if you prefer not to travel abroad to European destinations, you tend to support Everton.
