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

    Ross Barkley is an obnoxious dense annoyance

  2. Les Bleus

    9 years, 3 months ago

    The third striker debate lives on. May as well go Negredo for the rest of the season. At least we'd be guaranteed 90 minutes

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You might be right.

    2. _Freddo

      Rondon from GW20 will be alright for a long run.

      1. dcarlito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Looking at him, seriously considering. Got Negredo in in the meantime.

  3. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Firmino will score

  4. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Would love a Clyne goal right now.

  5. Licky
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Just score already!

  6. Licky
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    That wasn't a foul.

  7. Greenbackbøøg…

    Stones, Barkley, Everton good at making players seem better than they are

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Rodwell.

  8. BobB

    Just don't understand why Klopp would drop a striker who has scored in 4 out of last 5 games

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

      Totally ineffective, Sturridge should've come on earlier.

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

      Who did he drop?

    3. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Because said striker had been utter dross

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That's easy. He's rubbish.

    5. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He won't, this was a derby which has been a scrappy fight, Klopp won't be looking at performances as fantasy blanks 🙂

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

    Aaron Lennon is a bit useless

  10. Team Cruel

    8 minutes added on

  11. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wijnaldum was so exciting for us. Ran with the ball and attacked the goal.

    Looks so limited under Klopp

    1. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Playing a different position

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

        Even when he played deeper for the toon he was still offensive when he got the chance

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

      Just thinking the same

  12. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Aaron Lennon is terrible. Just runs about like an idiot with those little legs. No clue about the game.

  13. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    That is almost criminal to make us watch another 8 minutes.

  14. dcarlito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Pool get 8mins Fergie time.

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

      Because Everton took 8 minutes messing around with a clearly injured keeper.

  15. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years

    About to start the 3rd half

  16. seanie3
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    8 mins WTF?

  17. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lol Barkley

  18. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    You're the one who started him, Koeman.

  19. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Bobby is going to get booked here.

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

    Barkley is employed as a professional footballer

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Stealing a living

  21. Jay_
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Barkley with a wicked, curling Beckhamesque cross

    • Ghost86
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Barkley can't even spit properly

    • Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Christ Ross.

      Can someone remind me what Barkley is actually supposed to good at?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He's good at spitting

    • seanie3
      • 14 Years

      barkley is such quality,

    • JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That 3 points in 3 weeks from my 3rd striker now 😀

    • Licky
      • 13 Years
