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

    Guys, what would you say about Pieters ➡ D.Luiz for a -4?
    I'd mean CHE def double up with M.Alonso already in my team.

    Otherwise I need to play Amat (WHU) this week

      He's on 4 yellows or I would say yes! Azpi?

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Luiz not bad, but Azpi worth the extra, so I'd be disappointed to miss out on him. Rose is better value in that range I reckon

    Anyone else find that if they do a throw in like the professional players do it is always given as a foul throw at amateur level?!
