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

    Nasty dirty tackle from Barkley

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

    this has to be the worst game I've seen this season, truly awful.
    I know as soon as I sell Firmino he will score a hat trick

  12. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    As bad as a two footed lunge. Red.

  13. tm245

    Barkley is absolutely stealing a living.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Which is scary considering Enner Valencia exists...

  14. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Barkley should have been sent off

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Barkley rewards his 6.1 % owners with a YC

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They got lucky

  16. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    That is an abysmal tackle

  17. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Barkley clear red, reffing going down the pan

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

      Some real poor performances from a lot of refs of late

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

    Mane dead

  19. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This game is an absolute farce

  20. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Really heating up, hopefully a few reds

  21. MikeDuff
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Eriksen Firmino to Sanchez Walcott -8?

  22. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    It was Aaron Lennon, to be fair.

  23. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Looked nasty that. Especially tasting Barry's arse.

  24. arkom
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Origi to Llorente? Llorente is nailed, yeah?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you don't mind shipping Llorente in two/three weeks anyway

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

      Not really. Possibility of Borja or Siggy false 9.

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

        Okay guys maybe Negredo then?

        I think in the next game Origi is on the bench? Sturridge in.

    3. Jimbo123
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I think Llorente has earnt this place recently, but you'd only want him for the next 3

  25. Shultan

    Does anyone have a link for that dead team thats doing realy well & is inside the top 1000?

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

    Enner OFF
    Dominic Calvert-Levin ON

  27. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Only fair to leave the only scouser on the pitch.

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Should tell him to calm down

  28. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    What exactly is the purpose of Wijnaldum? He doesn't even attack or defend, just sits in midfield like a lump

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He helped me win £1000. Legend forever 🙂

  29. PepSala

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

  30. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Think there's a good chance Can back starting next game?
