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

      What to do whit this front 8?
      Sanchez, Hazard, Pogba, Sigurdsson, Allen
      Kane, Costa, Anichebe

      Only transfer I see is Kane -> Zlatan. I think Allen and Anichebe will rotate nicely..

        I have six of those eight and am doing Kane to Ibra, I think.

            I think so, but if I start drinking I will likely do Giroud and Slimani for Ibra and Origi, -4.

              *Giroud and Slimani in for Kane and Origi. I might need to step away from the keyboard.

      Awful tackle. Barkley has been throwing himself about all game and hasn't even been warned yet.

    • Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Origi ---> Benteke for a hit?
      I'm already on -8 lol 😀

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        5 in 5, then a 45 minute blank and you want to sell for a hit?

        1. Lyonnais
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          yes 😆

      2. dush64

        Nah hold firm, at least for a few weeks. Tekkers in GW20.

      3. Magic Bean
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He won't start next week

    • JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      God I hope Coutinho is back soon...

    • dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Need to raise funds for Costa --> Ibra, and unless something miraculous happens, Firmino will make way.

      Would you rather get Walcott (I have Sanchez) or Zaha? Both have fantastic fixtures and consistency, so it's down to whether that 2m price difference is worth the difference in points.

      1. Shultan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Walcott

      2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        AFCON

        1. JIM BOB
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          ?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Good call. Walcott it is.

    • FootballManiac
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Origi won't start next game right?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        atrocious

      2. Jammy
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        MNF has produced the most hype and the worst games - load of crap

    • Sol
      • 11 Years

    • Kaneyonero

    • FALCAO & MOU

      First time watching Liverpool this season, was not worth it. Do they always lose so many balls and play so boring?

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Oh yes, dreadful all season so far. Barely scored any goals or strung a pass together.

        1. FALCAO & MOU
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          They definitely are playing like it right now.

    • rjcv177
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Payet and McAuley for wally and Alonso, for a hit. No brainer right?

    • Jammy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I can understand Mile Dean trying to keep his cards in his pocket but surely Barkley should've been booked

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Nah

    • George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Kane has been invisible in the first half.

      1. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I know he'd want to get a goal now

    • Jammy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bookies having a field day so far 0 goals 0 bookings 1 corner and I don't think it's going to get much better

    • HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes or No ?

      lallana --> jrod (-4)

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Not vs. Spurs

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        No

        Hope that helps.

      Ville Ronka going to be annoyed if Williams keeps a clean sheet.
